High Strung

The Devil does indeed wear Prada.

So, the movie was not the book. Then again, we didn't really expect it to be. When Hollywood decides to turn your absolute favourite book into a summer comedy, you're bound to be disappointed. They made Miranda WAY nicer than they could have. And even gave her a 'human' moment!

In the end, the movie presents the story as much more of a moral dilemma than I'd been expecting. But it was okay. I kind of liked it, actually. Causes you to reflect on the sacrifices you're willing to make for your career, and the person you're willing to become. And some of your own 'Miranda' bosses :)

Meryl Streep was freakin' amazing (of course). Anne Hathaway actually did a good job - much to my surprise. And the clothes... (happy sigh). I'd get lipo and work at Runway for a while...

Now comes the question of the day: Would you rather work for Meryl Streep in 'The Devil Wears Prada' or Steve Carrell in 'The Office'?

In honour of a movie that provides a glimpse into professional hell...
