It continues to amaze me as I think of how many amazing people I have had the pleasure of working with because I am a manicurist.
Bill Murray!!! The one and only legendary funny man Bill Murray. When I got the call sheet for Harpers Bazaar from Simone my agent from Factory Downtown, I thought nothing of it. Just another work day. Location, time, and how many models my usual concern. The suit case would remain the same. But never did I imagine the initial, BM stood for Bill Murray. It was amazing. As he entered the elevator shaft of the studio, I was in awe. As we waited for him I took the liberty to have some girl time and manicured the fashion editors nails whom I truly loved as she was also going to be an extra in the shot. I froze as he walked through and said "Hi there, have we met before?" I love that pick up line.... (in my head).
"No, but I will be rubbing your hands" I replied. I am your manicurist. "Oh great, what color do I get?". Wow.
My day didn't begin there for me, as earlier I ran into my dear friend whom I have not seen in a while, the director at Chanel; as I was running to the brunch at the Opia Restaurant hosted by Beverly Johnson another amazing client, for the release of her TV show on the Own Network, Beverly's Full House.
I mention these things, these experiences, not to say how great my life is, but to say that the simple service of a manicure is what brought me to these wonderful experiences.
So I will continue to pick up my brush with pride and handle with care.
