It finally happened...

It was really only a matter of time, but since I hadn't seen him in the almost six months I've been working at my current job, I was wondering if I was ever really going to. To fill you in I work in the same building that houses the corporate headquarters for Polo/Ralph Lauren. This is slightly ironic because before I got my current job, I had been interviewing to be the personal assistant for Mrs. Ricky Lauren (yes that is Ralph's wife). As part of the interview process I had a couple of interviews at the Polo offices, one of which was in Ralph Lauren's personal office. Let's just say it was pretty cool and will forever be one of my most awesome NY stories. The polo offices (pictured below)are amazing, you step off the elevator and you feel like you are in an 18th century British manor or something like that. I swoon every time the elevator stops on one of the floors that Polo occupies because I get a glimpse of the gorgeous rugs and mahogany paneling-and the dishes of peanut M&M's they have everywhere because that is Ralph's favorite candy. Anyway, yesterday as I was leaving work, and walking through the lobby of our building, I saw him, the one and only Ralph Lauren. He was with his daughter Dylan (Of Dylan's Candy Bar in NYC) and they were heading out to the street to get in their car. Ralph was decked out in a white linen suit and aviator shades looking quite fashionable. The best part is, we made eye contact and he smiled at me! It was an exciting addition to an otherwise uneventful day at work, and needless to say, it is always fun when you get a smile from someone famous!
