Rumor Has It ...

He was the most charming publisher in the industry. He could have charmed a snake. Every media planner had a crush on him, and his second in command had been a close follower for many years.

When an opportunity opened up to work with him, I knew I had to jump at it. It was the perfect position for me; he was smart, savvy, and wonderful to work with. Seeing him everyday would allow my creative juices to flow. There was just one tiny flaw: he had a bald spot. I knew that if I was going to make it in this job I was not only going to have to land the position, I was going to HAVE to give him advice on that bald spot and his clothing.

Now, rumors run rampant in the publishing industry. The internal grapevine means that if someone sneezes at one magazine, the sales team at another will tell her "Bless you!"

So when I decided that I was not only going to give this publisher the best marketing ideas I had, but also the best fashion advice, it got around quickly. After inviting this high-powered industry insider to the POSH Sale so he could replace those boring white shirts, the advice made me gossip fodder rather quickly. 3 emails, 6 phone calls, and a text message later, and suddenly it was rumored that I had turned from Marketing Director to Fashion Make-Over Consultant.

There was no truth to that rumor - well, except for the truth that any man who wants to be well-dressed, in-style, and very hot, should shop at POSH.
