What people say to you?!?!

Hi Everyone,
Today was a long day at Kleinfelds. The TLC crew team was there which meant that the environment was completely different then normal. When TLC is here, everyone has to be very cautious of what they say and do just because the camera crew can always pick up on voices. It takes a whole day to film one bride, which is hard for everyone. One thing I did not know before, was that the TLC camera crew actually chooses which consultant will be working with the bride, I always thought that the bride picked her consultant. The bride and her family where from Jordan and were very sweet. I never caught her name but she had really long black straight hair, a very dark (orangish) tan, and heavy makeup. She had a budget of $10,000. Now this episode could feature in the next two weeks or next year, TLC never tells us. Look for her because I was helping a bride in the background during the filming so I could easily be on!! I was wearing a long black dress with black sweater and my hair was straight with a yellow daisy.
My consultant, Allison and I had a rough day. It started out well and we made one sale but then as the day went on it got worse. We had a bride come in with her friend that were fifteen minutes late. She then continued to name drop designers that she loved and that she wanted to try on. Well that is completely fine and helpful for us, but her budget was $5,000 and she was dropping designers names in the $20,000 range. Every dress we brought in, she wouldn't even try on! She would just look at it in the bag and say "no." Then after that, as I was putting on a dress for her, she looked down at me and said, "so what high school do you go to?" I kinda lost it there with her and had no patience. She had told Allison the consultant that she was "just not getting it." I am not sure she will come back. And the last bride we ended with was a little more unique. She said she wanted something different and "out there" so Allison and I pulled as many different dresses we could find. She was a very nice bride and worked at Vanity Fair which was really cool until she turned to me and said "You know there are about 20 interns working here this summer and all they do is walk around and look pretty, it's so cute." I lost my patience then and Allison let me rip off my name tag that says "Samantha Carlin- Intern," immediately without the bride seeing it, to make me not feel bad.
It is just so strange to hear some of the things people say. On a good note, we made one sale and I got to watch designer Henry Roth do a dance by Lady Gaga. Super Fun.
Nanny-I am really excited to read those books:)
Hope all is well
Happy Endings From NYC
