A small but rather fun detail about my job is getting to keep things from our creative window displays. Most of the time whenever a new one gets put up, either girls are "fighting" for props from the previous one (although sometimes the coolest of the cool trinkets have to go back to Marketing) or girls are putting their names and calling keeps on those even before they're placed in the window. So far I've collected a giant green A that is probably taller than myself that I still have stuck in my trunk, but now that I think about it I kinda like it there. I enjoy how surprised people get when I open it as if I had a dead body up in there or something. Like the one time I gave my Associate Manager a ride to a staff party and innocent little me saying "Oh, just throw your stuff in my trunk" lead to her being one of those surprised people. Found out that I technically wasn't supposed to take it yet since the window was going to be put back up. We (or maybe just I) laughed it off, and we ordered in a new one. Haha. So this is my newest possession from our Spring/Summer "Bad Girls Break Hearts" window and as soon as I saw it I knew I wanted it to take some mugshots like these à la young Lily Rhodes Gossip Girl promo poster or the likes of the Steven Meisel shot editorial "Law and Order" from W Magazine this past March. I assure you I was allowed to take this this time, I am not a criminal... hahaha. I do however find it especially fitting since people always call me a Lifer for the company so to be in the position of a prisoner is pretty funny if you ask me.
