Let The River Run

Let the river run
Let all the dreamers
Wake the nation
Come, the new Jerusalem

...sings two-time Grammy winner Carly Simon for the soundtrack of Working Girl - a movie starring the bimbo sounding Melanie Griffith as a dutiful but scheming PA and the tough and kunckle down bitch, Sigourney Weaver as her boss. A movie about strong women with professional careers. A concept that presently rings true to Nina G as she ponders the fate of her own career. In eight months, she will be free from the evil reins of her current suffocating job. Would she finally be brazen enough to jump and delve into something meaningful? Something like cake-making or floral arrangements? Thoughts have also been given to make-up artistry, life coaching, runway coaching, herbalist, feng shui mistress and countless other options. The list is endless. Or, is she too fearful to hang up her Blahniks and Chanel power suits doing 75 hour weeks for the sake of some extra moolah? Suddenly, it all seems so simple. It all boils down to a question of lifestyle over greed.

Just for today though, she chooses greed. There were a few newly orphaned Dior handbags on display at the store that looked like it needed loving attention. Just for today though - no guilt, just handbags.

With no money, there is no lifestyle... shallow but true. Get the balance right, Nina... work to live!
