If you think the above statement makes me bitter, hah! The truth is far from it. Ever since I started working for a women’s mag, I’ve got loads of interesting responses from people. Here are some of the best:
Building airhead: OOOOOOOOH!!! So you know all about beauty and fashion!
Very Important Business Journalist: So you guys actually have an office? Do you guys have much work? (Nope. I go there to get my hair done. Yessir, Actual answer.)
My Mother: At last, you’re working in a place I understand (I worked in two/three websites before this. That explains it.)
My Brother: Why the f@#$ do you have to work there of all the places? (OK. Rolling Stones, here I come!)
PR: But you don’t cover fashion? Oh…all of you don’t? Oh…I thought all of you did!
Old uncle: So you know all the secrets of wimmenn, eh?
My journo teacher: Well, you worked in a newspaper once…(The rest is left unsaid, in Sword of Damocles fashion)
Close Friend (Guy): You have the numbers of all these models, then…?
Close Friend (Girl): What I want to know is, do you get any discounts on the products you shoot?
Women’s Development NGO: You’re doing a story on violence against women? Really? Why would you people be interested? What’s your name….blah blah.
Me: I’m still getting my hair done.
