Confessions Of A Shopaholic Page #4

I've got no money.

You put the lime in the coconut...

Doesn't this just cheer you up?

- It's not working, Mom.

- Come on, you'll get another job.

Life is like a swap meet.

You never know

when great riches...

...are going to turn up unexpectedly.

What can I get for a quarter?

This!

- Like it?

- It's fantastic.

- What are they gettin' for that?

- It's growing on me.

- How much for this?

- Twenty dollars.

- Oh!

- Hello?

Um, Rebecca. Luke Brandon,

Successful Saving.

Yes?

Sorry to call so early,

but I got your letter.

And I have to say

it was a bit of a surprise.

Well, I hope I made my point.

Oh, you did. You did. Very well.

The whole metaphor. Very clever.

Yes, wasn't it.

The whole metaphor was...

Wait... What? I'm sorry...

Describing the principles

of security investment

in terms of the way different women

purchase different shoes

was... different.

Hello? Sounds like you might be

in the middle of something.

I was trying to say

that it gave me an idea.

Would you like

to come in? I don't...

Can I help you, dear?

I think I just sent the editor

of Alette magazine $20

to buy herself decent clothes

and stick her job up her ass.

These go...

- Hey, clothes for Alette.

- I'll call her assistant.

Hi. Clothes are here

for Alette's approval.

She'll be right out.

What do you think about you and me

going out on Friday night?

- Ooh...

- I mean, if you want to.

Would you like to go out

on Friday night?

I don't know. I might have plans.

You might... Do you

ever wear any of this stuff?

Some of it's a little far out for me.

- Totally far out.

- Yeah.

It's crazy, but I guess that's

the world of high fashion?

- Yes.

- Yeah, I know about that.

I am one of the best. I don't

let this out of my sight.

I guard it with my life.

A lot of pressure on me

to make sure everyone

gets these letters...

- Get them there on time.

- Got to get my job done.

See, I take my job very seriously.

- Yes. And to deliver...

- Oh, really?

And to deliver the mail,

but as the mail carrier

it's a lot of pressure on me

to get people their letters,

I've never lost a letter yet.

I want

no more vertical buttonholes.

I'm so bored with vertical buttonholes.

Is this for the Kaleidoscope shoot

with Paolo?

Oh, but this!

Cavalli.

He has read my mind.

It's marvelous. We can use it all.

Take it in.

Oh, God.

What are you doing?

This is Alette.

Is this where you should be?

Oh, yes. Oh, yes.

Dantay-West didn't hire me to be

an editor of this magazine.

They hired me to throw it a rope

and pull it out of the swamp.

And that's...

Hi, everyone.

I'm Rebecca Bloomwood.

Sit down, Rebecca.

What makes a magazine
