I have fallen in love with Neiman Marcus.

My new pursuit is to work in PR/visuals for what is, in my opinion, of the the greatest chains on the planet: Neiman Marcus.  I toured the Orlando establishment today, as Alpha Kappa Psi arranged an EXCELLENT "get together" coporate tour today!  I have been looking forward to it all year--fashion is something I really love (see first post).  I don't indulge like I "should."  In fact, I walk around school so often in jeans and tshirts (not of the juicy couture nature, mind you).  But when I do, I really really do.  I can coordinate and accessorize with the best of them.  I'm just too lazy right now.

So, they have informal internships in which the 'intern' is actually put on the NM payroll--certainly no complaints here!  Anything other than the executive development program is pretty much on the basis of an individual store, so I am applying for such in a personal (still professional) way.  Neiman Marcus is a bit like the Hilton of 'department' stores in a way.  Not a far jump?

I didn't waste anytime e-mailing our main contact, Mrs. Ungaro.  Still, I hope to follow-up and thank all of the following in the near future.
