Summer Intern
Chapter One (Intro)
My name is Amanda Settleway, and I’m an intern for the summer at Catwalk Magazine in New York City. FYI, Catwalk is one of the biggest magazines in the world, next to People, Time, Seventeen, you know, all of those that you see on the newsstands at the grocery store check out line.
Catwalk covers everything from the latest fashion, what colors are the new black (FYI, orange is the new green which was the new black which was the new pink which was the old black, according to one of the fashion experts here, who informed me that my green skirt was so 5 minutes ago, even though it was just featured in Teen Vogue), which celebs are hottest at the moment, who’s dating who, stuff like that in Hollywood, and the latest music to listen to, and food (i.e. carbs= the devil).
Anyway, back to me. My name, like I said, is Amanda Settleway. And I’m 18 from the middle-of-nowhere Indiana. I have dirty-blonde hair, about 5 foot 8, and have bluish green eyes the change depending on my mood. Example, when I’m super happy, they’re a bright blue, like the crystal clear Hawaiian ocean, when I’m nervous, they’re a deep green, sad would be a bluish green mix, it all depends. There are many different combos of my eyes. All equaling different emotions. I’m pretty much your girl-next-door, except for my fashion tastes. I’m always with the latest trends, if not ahead by going with them before they appear on Miley Cyrus and Jessica Alba.
Now, you’re probably wondering what a small town girl is doing in big New York City. Well, I just graduated high school a few weeks ago, and I’m about to go off to NYU for college this fall. As you could probably tell, I want to be a journalist, working for a magazine, like Catwalk. Well, I’m there. Yea! It’s just…one small problem…
Right now, my job consists mostly of getting Cruella De Vil, I mean, the editor of Catwalk, Mary Ann Ladine, her Starbucks every morning and running her errands. But hey, gotta start somewhere, right? And one day, maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but one day, I’ll have an actual assignment. These assignments that I’d love to have include;
A) Going to one of the world’s largest fashion shows in Paris where they give out TONS of free stuff.
B) Interview totally hot celebs like Orlando Bloom and the JoBros and Ashton Kutcher and Jesse McCartney, and, well, you get the point. Hot guys. And girls who could hook me up with those guys…or just any celeb really would be nice
C) Going to the awesomest photoshoots for the hottest designers
D) Getting to own the hottest new stuff from Channel, Calvin Klein, Banana Republic, and Gucci
E) All of the above, plus more
Ok, so yeah, I have big dreams and expectations for myself. But if we didn’t, we’d never get anywhere in the world, right?
I mean, yeah, I may not start right off stalking celebs and waiting on the red carpet, or getting the latest fashions from the hottest places for free just because I work for Catwalk (sort of), but I’m here. And that’s all that matters. And I will get there. It’s just going to take some time. And in the week and a half that I’ve been here, I’m starting to realize that.
