About Me

My photo
Two five-ten blondes fighting against the stereotype to find love, success, and a way to pay the rent. *** We're passionate about our seriously stressful careers in the apex of the luxury fashion world. (No, it's not like the Devil Wears Prada- our Devils only wear custom and pay for their anonymity.) *** We're on the search for the elusive 'great' guy (who must be intimidated because we can't find him anywhere). Being 5'10" and blonde is a double-edged sword. Our stories are fucking ridiculous. *** Fortunately and unfortunately for us, we share the same story as millions of women who have been violated: we are determined to make a difference in the lives of women who have seen too much. *** WELCOME TO OUR WORLD.

The End of an Era


After almost exactly 25 years of marriage, this power couple is calling it quits. Interestingly, the divorce comes only months after Maria lost her father. I was reading in Psychology Today magazine that when one partner undergoes a major life change (such as death) it becomes exponentially harder to maintain the union. Our experiences irrevocably change us - compound that with the fact that she left her career to be the Governor's wife - perhaps Maria felt unmoored.

Still, it makes me sad that these two couldn't make it. The marriage proved to be adventagous for Arnold; he once famously said that the keys to success were: 1. move to America 2. work your butt off 3. marry a Kennedy. Maria, for her part, has started a successful women's empowerment website. Best of luck to these two.
