Not since 2 is the new 4 and 0 is the new 2. 6, aha! Is the new 14

I probably botched the line from the movie The Devil Wears Prada in the title of this entry.

Cerulean.

Conjures up images of the Aegean sea. Some princess being chained to a boulder overlooking the ocean. A sacrificial virgin to appease the sea serpent.

When Miranda Priestly (Beastly) goes on about how Andi's (female protagonist) lumpy "blue" (cerulean, actually) pullover was indirectly chosen for her by the people in the room after the derisive tone with which Andi laughed at them for fussing over two seemingly similar belt.

"Stuff? Oh, okay. I see. You think this has nothing to do with you. You go to your closet, and you select, I don't know, that lumpy blue sweater because you're trying to tell the world that you take yourself too seriously to care what you put on your back. But what you don't know is that sweater is not just blue. It's not turquoise. It's not lapis. It's actually cerulean. And you're also blithely unaware of the fact that in 2002 Oscar de la Renta did a collection of cerulean gowns. And then I think it was Yves St. Laurent, wasn't it, who showed a selection of cerulean military jackets. And then cerulean quickly showed up in collections of eight different designers. It filtered down through the department stores, and then trickled down into some tragic Casual Corner where you undoubtedly fished it out of some clearance bin. However, that blue represents millions of dollars and countless jobs. It's sort of comical how you think you've made a choice that exempts you from the fashion industry, when in fact, you're wearing a sweater that was selected for you by the people in this room... from "a pile of stuff."

I checked for the aforementioned 2002 Oscar de la Renta collection. Don't have cerulean gowns leh....

Anyway, the lesson that left the greatest impression on me was what Nigel (token fashion faggot) said about personal life and career. If one is doing well, the other will surely suffer.
And when you're personal life hits the grave, you're due for a promotion.

Is this true in real life? I mean, the advertising world seems to be so, especially after what Neil French said about women in advertising.

So the movie was about that really. Finding that delicate balance between career, values, ethics, personal life, love life and all these things.....The fashion setting was incidental. But it made the movie a lot more eye-candy-ish.
