The Devil Wears Prada

Coming in June. Next up on my " I want to watch this" Movie List.

Before the movie, there was the book. The Devil Wears Prada by Lauren Weisberger

A deliciously dishy novel about the all-time most impossible boss in the history of impossible bosses. Cant wait to see how Meryl Streep portrays the impossibly hard to please boss, Miranda.

okays, for those of you who are clueless about the book. Here's the synopsis.

Andrea Sachs , a small town girl fresh out of college, lands the job "a million girls would die for." Hired as the assistant to Miranda Priestley, the high profile, fabulously successful editor of 'Runway' mag, Andrea soons finds herself in an office that shouts Prada! Armani! Versace! at every turn, a world populated by impossibly thin, stylish women and hunkilious men clad in tight leather pants that show off their lifelong dedication to the gym. With breath-taking ease, Miranda the boss can turn everyone of these hip sophisticates into scared, whimpering children. (a tad exaggerated, I must say.)

So the mad rush begins with Andrea trying to please her mad-cap boss in every possible way from sending the latest in stores Harry Potter books to Miranda's kids to locating an unnamed antique store in Paris. All done for the sake of climbing the corporate ranks in the high fashion world.


"Beware of all enterprises that requires new clothes" - Henry David Thoreau

How apt.
