Hurrah! The 10 fashion bus was off again for another seasons fashion shows.
Packed high with clothes, handbags, knitwear, editors and assistants the ever fabulous Editor-in-Chief was leading the entourage to New York. Toot toot!
Dolly Farrier, after being promoted to ‘assistant of the assistants’ assistant of Ten Towers UK offices’ rather excitedly …waved her goodbyes.
And quite unbelievably, left with oodles of responsibility (what a star!) she ran straight on in with her ‘fashion things to do whilst we are away’ list.
First on list, ‘Prep for tartan and lace shoot idea..Call in samples.’
“Hmm that can’t be too difficult ….thinking Scottish Royalty, Bay City Rollers, mixed with a bit of lacy David Hamilton inspiration. Oh how fresh!”
La la La If I just take a bit of this, add a bit of that and mix it with 70’s, wrap it. I can do this myself, no need for call-ins…“
"Wait a minute, whats all that noise in the next studio? It should only be me here…”
“Let me have a look…”
“Crikey!”
“The male casting has arrived 3 hours too early and its just me here! Amaze ! And look, a tartan pretty boy. What a coincidence. Perfect…”
“You. Here. Tartan Boy. Follow me. You’re soooo perfect for what I, sorry, they are working on right now.”
“As I am in charge this week, I am giving you a first option Pretty Boy for the new shoot. And a first option for the cover too. How about that! Oh, how the Editor-in-Chief will be impressed with me and my casting skills ”
“But, I suppose I should get a photo of you to email to the team in New York. Oh I am such a great assistant running the joint all by myself. Now wheres my camera?”
“Hang on a minute Monsieur Tartan… Camera, where are you?”
“Oh Tartan Boy ,Fancy giving me hand, its just a bit too heavy.”
“No I’m alright. Dolly’s on top of things again…”
“Just give me your best full length babe…”
“Sorry. I’m trying my best, I really have no idea how they do it here. Can you press the bottom button for moi?”
“Whoa! Not with your foot Tartan Boy. Idiot. I’ll do it… Just help me twist it around a bit…”
“Great! Now for the close up!… WOW! Beautiful eyes Tartan boy. Give me the cover shot.”
“Ouch! Just going to email my crew the details. Quick. Quick. Quick. Efficiency is the key to my success.”
Meanwhile…
High above the clouds in the Famous 10 Fashion Jet, the worried Editor-in-Chief, sensing something was not quite right back at home, asked team 10 to face time Dolly.
“Right away!”
“Excuse me, my lovely 10 team, can some on hand me my phone. Now we have this wi-fi fashion plane I just need to check out what’s going on back in Blighty…”
Switching the phone on, the Editor-in-Chief checked her email. Tartan Boy suddenly appeared.
Face time was needed. “NOW!”
Dolly, shocked by the unexpected sight of the Editor-in-Chief looking straight at her fell of her desk and quickly realised her huge mistake!
Oh Dolly!
What a mess you have got the team in and its only day 1 of the fashion season.
*Next Time in Ten Towers- will Dolly last a whole 2 weeks without them ?
Or will it be back to manning the phones and tiding up the fashion cupboard for ever more? Stay Tuned…
