The three interns of Running in Heels: Ashley, Talita, & Samantha

Ah, yes another real-life saga of three young women pitted against each other to be considered the best in their respective position at work, which happens to be the internship position at Marie Claire magazine on the wild and ruthless island of Manhattan. This newest drama-filled look at what goes on behind-the-scenes at a national magazine, Running in Heels is currently airing on the Style network on Sundays (sometime, not sure when because I have now mastered my digital recording device and it just records it whenever it is on.)

The three interns Ashley, Talita, and Samantha not only share office space at the magazine, but also a trendy downtown loft. When did interns start getting room and board, anyway? But of course they would as it provides the perfect scenario for the scheming and conniving to occur 24-7. I am certain this is not at all a contrived storyline as there always seems to be two fabulous openings for interns at a photo shoot and three interns, or two tickets to Rock & Republic and three interns. Hmmm?

Alas, it is true that these young women are exposed to the best society and fashion has to offer: tickets to Fashion Week, soireés with big-name designers, and exposure to a closet full of to-die-for, fabulous fashions.

Of course, I am hoping OUR Style intern Becca doesn’t get wind of this show, for she will surely see the reality of her own situation. I hesitate as I say there may be a few differences between the MC internship and the LVS internship. For one thing, we don’t offer lodging at LVS, but a guy used to live here in a room we converted into a conference room. We called it the “Bat Cave.” So technically she could sleep in there if she wanted to. Does that count? Right now she is driving from Allentown to our offices in Palmer Township. So maybe she would take us up on that.

Perhaps she would delight in the comp tickets we get to the Philadelphia Flower Show in lieu of Fashion Week? Oh, and everyday Becca has the opportunity to meet a virtual whirlwind of delivery service people: the tall, dark (brown uniform) and stressed UPS guy, the “here-because-it-breaks-down-every-week” copier repair person, and an our official government rep, a.k.a., the mailman.

And our closet— it’s just jammed with famous-maker copy paper, frayed sweater fashions from administrative assistants gone-by, and a plethora of pleather camera bags- ah, the caché of dusty vinyl.

Yes, it’s all here behind the scenes of our monthly lifestyle magazine. Just don’t tell Becca.
