That's right, today on my day off I set myself up for an interview with a very big Hip-Hop record label. In fact, this label is one of those "dream job" places I often fantasized about before I started interning. Don't get too excited though, its not in A&R, its in New Media, but at least I'll be at a record label, not wasting away like I am at my current job. And the way I'm looking at it, New Media is probably the future of the record industry. So I might as well get a taste for it...and more importantly, its not the label's "corporate office," like the situation I'm in now.

My job is a fashion show. The office hallways are mini runways, the employees are models, and the bathroom is the staging area. My first day of work, I was handed a dress code and a paper to sign saying that I understood it. I'm sure at real jobs, there is a dress code...but in Hip-Hop?? I had to look around the office to make sure I showed up for the right job!! I did notice on my interview how fancy everyone was, but I thought I was just there on a special day (or maybe it was a special day because I was THERE!). I noticed all the men wore what I have seen everyone wear to work in the past: jeans, a shirt, and some fly sneakers. But the women were all wearing nice pants, heels (shoot me now) and the kind of nice shirts that I get tangled in when I even attempt to try them on. I signed the dress code but it didn't make any sense to me...what are "fashion sneakers" and when it said "clean" how clean do they have to be, I mean, they do go on my feet right???
