Conde Naste’ – Is The Party Over?
Si (Newhouse) has shown me a good time all over the world. Whenever a bill was being paid the person paying would almost have to say the obligatory, “don’t worry, this is on Uncle Si”.
I never said it. I never had to pay. I don’t think I’d say it anyway. It always sort of made me cringe. In my mind I’d be like, ‘don’t say it, don’t say it, don’t say it, damn! they said it’. And I’d cringe.
We felt privileged working for Conde Naste’. We were.
During a photo shoot in New Orleans I was in a Naste’ car accident (no one was hurt) and Conde Naste’ had to hand over A LOT of money.
They didn’t care at all, at least they didn’t say anything to me, and I kept right on working.
Cutting the fun budget, putting up with low-budge dinners and hotels, that really sucks. The perks are 80% of why you do this stuff.
I feel bad for them… a very little… but I do… it was too good to last.

It is amazingly easy to become accustomed to such largess and to take it for granted. No one who hasn't experienced it would really understand how quickly one feels entitled.
It's true. When I was traveling too much, I'd catch myself feeling sorry for myself for having to go to Paris, or some place like that. I remember telling friends that I was miserable and working too much, and how can I live like this.
I stopped that quick. I did not come from that type of privilege, so when I noticed the change in myself I started moving in a new direction, one that would keep me level headed and grateful.
Anyway, thanks for the comment.
That's great, Michelle. Throughout your life you will be grateful to Conde Naste' for the hard earned sophistication you acquired at such an early age.
Kay, I feel that, yes. Thank you.
