In my work as a hustler I get shouted at a lot.
It's just the way things are. In this field, communication styles developed then mutated and mostly what is left is raw truth said in
raw anger, lots of raw blame and finger pointing
And many times you find yourself doubting if you don't really live in a tree. The way people will address you.
Writing Challenge Day 7
My Favourite Movie.
I couldn't decide which one it is , so I will go with the two movies I watch when the world stops making sense.
Which is often.
The Princess Diaries 1
The Devil Wears Prada.
In the Devil Wears Prada, Andrea is a writer who gets hired for a PA job in a fashion magazine.
Her boss is a rude editor who only believes in one thing:Success.
-Wait wait,
The boss Miranda is played by Merly Streep.And so of course it's a good movie. Clare(Miranda calls her Clare even though her name is Andrea)is played by Anne Hathaway who is brilliant.
I love the intro music, and all the clothes that Andrea get's to wear. Including the black and white bra in the opening song because I once had a bra like that until it lost all of it's elasticity so I just kept it on as a suveniour.
But what I love is how Andrea keeps bouncing back.
When you work under someone that is constantly making you feel small and worthless it's possible to just say- si ikae. But she doesn't let it work on her insecurities.she succeeds in the job, then leaves at her own will. She leaves the glamour behind, because that is not all there is to life. And flies back home to her very very yummy boyfriend.
I like the Princess Diaries because they live in a refurbished firehouse and when the girl needs to come down she slides down the pole. A house doesn't get cooler than that, plus they have a cat, Fat Louie.
(I just googled who played the girl in this movie. Wait for it...Anne Hathaway. So it might see I am her fan too.) I like The movies the limo driver has played too. He is called Hector Lizondo.
When a past she didn't know about resurfaces, Mia has to man up and face up both the past, the future and her present life which has suddenly taken a spin.
The question of why now? Arises when she has to decide whether to forgive or cut her paternal grandmother completely off for not showing up early enough.
She also had to be honest and tell her friend the truth that now she is no longer the ordinary bestie she has been but royalty. Her bestie is way stocked for her new status more than even herself. Beasties like that are precious.
I like this sub story because it shows how relationships are not a fairytale.
They have ups and downs but you have to be completely honest with each other.
I watch the Devil Wears Prada when I have an interview that's scaring me.
And I watch Princess Diaries when I need to remind myself the past can be whatever it please itself to be, I cannot do anything about the past. I can only have a positive perspective about the future, and live as best as I can for the present.
and everything will be okay, because Anne Hathaway.
