THIS DEVIL WEARS PRADA TOO

We LAUGHED at the scene in The Devil Wears Prada where Meryl Streep’s character Miranda is about to arrive at the office and it’s like a presidential high security maneuver. People are stationed on cell phones reporting her exact location minute by minute so the foam on her cappucino will be fluffy. It seemed ridiculous until we were told that absurd countdown is repeated every day for Viacom exec Les Moonves! “His car is two minutes away – butter his bagel!” An intruder into his inner sanctum told us that it takes at least eight people stationed everywhere to coordinate his arrivals. Each person is connected by phone – someone is at every door to open it and confirm progress, as the countdown to his walking in the office door proceeds. “Everybody is nervous – adjusting the room temperature and fretting over whether the shades should be up higher. It’s overkill and it’s WORSE than Prada!”
