I Met the Devil..... and she wears PRADA

So I opened at Barnes and Noble today for the first time ever. It was pretty easy. For the most part of the morning the store was pretty quiet and it picked up around noon. However, in those quiet hours at the beginning of the day... it happened. I saw the devil.

She stood before me, a lot shorter than I expected, but they usually are shorter than you expect with the reputations they have. Her long brown fur coat hit her about mid-thigh and glistened so that there was no doubt the fur was real. Her strawberry blonde bob was topped with an elegant little hat. Almost before I had a chance to register what was going on, her assistant wisked her away into her chaffered towncar and she was gone.

Anna Wintour, the fashion editor made famous by her fictional counterpart Miranda Priestly in the movie The Devil Wears Prada, shops at Barnes and Noble Chelsea.
