First Impressions!

The saying goes, "You only have one time to make a good first impression". It can seem like pressure to get across the "REAL YOU" in a quick conversation but it is possible. Remember this, less is more, don't say too little and definitely don't say too much. But whatever you say make sure it's clever, witty and impressionable. Confidence is a good thing and the right posture and apperance is even better...GOOD LUCK!

Too Sexy for her Work?

If you work at Citibank, the answer would apparently be yes, according to Debrahlee Lorenzana, who is suing the bank on the grounds that it fired her for being really good looking. So good looking, apparently, that it distracted them from the hard work they were doing at Citi and had to be stopped. Her boss Craig Fisher and one of his colleagues tried to make her less hot, allegedly, by pulling Lorenzana into an office one day and telling her she had to stop wearing turtlenecks, pencil skirts, three inch heels or “fitted” business suits. When Lorenzana brought up the matter of other females wearing way more revealing clothes, she was told those women’s shapes were different from mine, and I drew too much attention.” Lorenzana like this was kind of a bunch of bull shit (“I couldn’t believe what I was hearing,” Lorenzana recalls. “I said, ‘You gotta be kidding me!’ I was like, ‘Too distracting? For who? For you? My clients don’t seem to have any problem’) so she decided not to change her wardrobe but rather fug herself up a bit by not wearing make-up and not blowing out her hair. She also wrote a couple letters to HR letting them know she was not pleased with how the meeting went but never heard back and her attempts to downplay how hot she was didn’t work either(dealbreaker.com).

Steve Cohen "To retire?"

That’s apparently what he tells Bryan Burrough in an upcoming article for Vanity Fair interestingly titled “What’s Eating Steve Cohen?” Beyond putting the unthinkable (a 72 Cummings Point Road without the big guy? Ping Jiang would sooner do a woman) out there, Burrough also posits that the reason Stevie agreed to his only second interview ever was because Mrs. Alex Cohen had always wanted to be shot by Annie Leibovitz (BB’s alternate theory, which he shared with Bloomberg earlier, is that SC wanted to break his “code of silence” to show the world “he doesn’t have long hair and finger nails,” which is gonna disappoint some of the fan boys(dealbreaker.com).
