“I love to consume. Consuming is my specialty.”<\/blockquote>\n\n

…some of you started screeching louder than the Howler monkeys in the bunker\u00e2\u20ac\u201dand that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s saying a LOT.<\/p>\n\n

Natasha Mitra (r) was interviewed by Amy Larocca and though I was also left smirking at the catty aftermath, I immediately heard the diminutive angel on my shoulder remind me that we don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t know how many questions were asked and then not included, whether Mitra\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s words were edited to paint her a certain way<\/u>, etc.<\/p>\n\n

Having typed that, if my little sister sounded like this, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d beat her with my red Ferragamo loafer. Not that there\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s anything wrong with…sounding…like…this. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n

Such big accessories!<\/strong><\/blockquote>\n\n
My bag was a really special purchase. I work with this woman at Louis Vuitton\u00e2\u20ac\u201dshe picks things out for me, sends pictures, and tells me to pick what I like. She called one day and was like, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I picked a bag for you, and I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m sending it to your house because I know you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re going to love it.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d I think it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s called the Stratus.<\/blockquote>\n\n
How old are you?<\/strong> <\/blockquote>\n\n
I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m 26.<\/blockquote>\n\n
Was the bag expensive?<\/strong> <\/blockquote>\n\n
Yes\u00e2\u20ac\u201dabout $3,500. I guess a lot of craftsmanship goes into it. Accessories for me are the key. I have about twenty bags, and I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t know how many shoes. But they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re Vuitton, they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re Versace, they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re Gucci, and they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re Dior.<\/blockquote>\n\n
And your sunglasses?<\/strong><\/blockquote>\n\n
They\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re D&G. I was really excited to find them. They\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re wild and crazy and different.<\/blockquote>\n\n
What do you do for a living?<\/strong><\/blockquote>\n\n
I work in private equity. I love the sector that I work in, which is the consumer and retail group. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s an area that I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m passionate about. I love to consume. Consuming is my specialty.<\/blockquote>\n\n
You picked the right career.<\/strong><\/blockquote>\n\n
I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m going to Harvard Business School in September. Moving is definitely going to be the most difficult part of the experience.<\/blockquote>\n\n

Thoughts? After reading some of your emails, I’m tempted to respond with a “Tell us what you REALLY think”, but I’m certain you will already do that. I also look forward to the inevitable, “I know her, and, and–<\/em>” which will appear below at some point. TWO DEGREES of separation, people. The fact that we couldn’t prove it<\/a> with two random desi models<\/a> doesn’t mean the theory is invalid, aight?<\/p>\n\n

::<\/p>\n\n

Because one of you who should know better shamelessly suggested it<\/a> AND because I already received one vague piece of hate mail which mindlessly accused me of hypocritically not putting myself<\/em> out there for dissection the way I heartlessly did to Miss Mitra above, feel free to ponder my homage to Natasha, below.\n
