I'm on a boat!
I was rewarded because of my decision yesterday not going home to catch up on sleep after my shift. I was asked to cover 2 hours of another intern, Jim's shift and was actually asked to accompany the American producer of the Lion's Gate film, "Mob Rules", Andy Hall, to the Kodak Yacht Party. Kodak employees were marketing a new and updated lens and had it available for all the guests to test. As I made my way around the party, my eyes were taken by a gorgeous, at least 6 foot tall, woman dressed to the nines. She was wearing long, white skinny jeans and a flowing white spaghetti strap top with tall brown stilettos. I decided it was worth my time to introduce myself, and she actually ended up being Linda, the model for Kodak. She is living in Paris and was pleased to give me a lot of feedback about fashion and what she does for Kodak. She will be shooting in Italy next week, but will be back in Paris on the 25th of May, when I'm there. She gave me her number and asked if I would like to go shopping! Looks like I found a great connection and friend for Paris!
Tonight is the "Queer Party" at The American Pavilion and I am working as a bartender. So far, I know that Florence and the Machine are supposedly coming, and there are rumors of Lady Gaga. It will be a bit of a struggle to be bartending and trying to make connections with guests, but I will make this my mission of the night! I am so excited about it and know it will be a blast. Even more connections to be made and fashions to critique!
The Institute for Interdisciplinary Art and Creative Intelligence and the Foundation IIACI are independent from and unrelated to The American Pavilion.
Wow, Elizabeth!!
How much fun to be on a yacht in the Mediterranean for a party during the Cannes Film Festival! I am so excited for you making the contacts and networking. What a great opportunity for you. I am very glad that you are there and having a ball.
Love,
Lovelace
