This week I had one of the most elf-y jobs I've had in a long time. I had the unique pleasure of decorating the Guess? Jeans campus for the Holidays. I have lived in L.A. for over 10 years now and never knew they have a huge city block-sized, 4 building area downtown. There are over 700 employees and the owners even work there. Now, this job really brought me back to the 8th grade. I remember seeing the Claudia Schiffer campaign in Vogue circa 1990 and knowing that I HAD to have that pair of acid-washed Guess overalls at Macy's, and the red Guess sweatshirt too. I was really caught up in the whole craze along with every tweener in Monterey. The walls of the campus are plastered of 20-30 foot images of their adds so there was no escaping their alluring marketing. I even bought myself three more pairs of jeans from the employee store- this time colored jeans in mint, plum, and royal blue. Here is a little tour...

| The cafe had so many different kinds of food, it took me forever to decide what to eat... |
 |
| I like the message... coming from Moroccan-French immigrants, it's true that they are totally self-made gazillionaires. |
 |
| The 30 foot Claudia in acid washed jeans was bringing me back. I think this photo inspired me to get the very same, zip-ankled pair. |
