THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA -- by naudy (8)

Okay, so why is it okay for all of your friends to be horrible and dump you because you're growing as a person? Admittedly, it's not nice to stab your coworkers in the back and take their trips to Paris away from them, but is it so bad to wear nice clothes and be sucessful? Is it so terrible to have a high-stress demanding job and to meet those demands? I have a friend who is an assistant and she ALWAYS has her phone with her and it ALWAYS rings. We, her friends, would NEVER steal it from her or give her crap about always being busy. It's just what she does, who she has chosen to be.

In THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA, Miss Andi's friends and boyfriend are much less reasonable. Instead they're sulky and put-out about her not paying attention to them when they want her to. It's not fair. Did she sulk when her boyfriend became a chef? Chefs are never home. Chefs never have the day off. Chefs work 14 days at a stretch and don't come home until well past midnight. This isn't normal but it's good for her boyfriend and part of his dreams. Miss Andi apparently can't have a job that is at least that demanding. Ostensibly, her friends don't like her 'cause she abandoned one set of dreams for another. I don't think this is a problem.

Anyway, of course Meryl Streep is fantastic. The clothing is fantastic. I went to see it with my buddy and we spent the whole time elbowing each other when we recognized things from fashion magazines and exclaiming that so-and-so is also in desperate need of Chanel. I liked looking at it, I loved Meryl Streep and I enjoyed the film. I just wish her stupid friends would have backed off and let her become the person she wanted to be, WITHOUT having her phone stolen.
