A/N: Hello! So this is a brand new story I'm working on which is loosely based around the devil wears Prada, I mean loosely! I don't think it will be any longer than eight chapters but we'll see what happens!
Disclaimer: I don't own Glee or the Devil Wears Prada!
Blaine Anderson had just left his final year at North-western and was well on track for his journalist career, all he had left to do before he could reach his dreams of becoming a journalist was to get some experience, how hard could that be?
He sat in his cramped New York apartment writing out letters to various different companies and magazines that he would later send off with crossed fingers.
To Sir/madam
My name is Blaine Anderson and I am 20 years old. I recently graduated from North-western University with strong hopes of becoming a journalist, particularly in the music industry. I have always been a fan of your designs and frequently wear them myself.
I am punctual and hard-working and I understand that being your assistant will involve menial jobs which I am very much prepared to do!
I thank you in advance for taking time to read this and I deeply hope you will consider hiring me.
I look forward to hearing from you-
Blaine Anderson
This particular letter was to be addressed to the one person Blaine was most anxious to get a positive reply from, Kurt Hummel. Kurt Hummel was only New York's best and most recent up and coming designers, everyone knew his name, even hobos on the street! One year working for Kurt Hummel and Blaine would be able to get a journalist position anywhere he picked; all he needed now was to be accepted.
After ensuring that all nine yes nine application letters contained enough contact details he sealed them up, put on the stamps and jogged down to the letter box so that they'd be sent with today's collection.
Kurt Hummel was furious! His secretary had screwed up once again which had almost cost him his place at the London fashion week! His designs and prototypes had been ready 5 weeks ago and he had ensured his secretary had got the message that they were to be sent right away by a courier, little did he know that the designs were still stored away under her desk until that morning. After a few frantic calls and promises of getting them there by the next morning at latest Kurt Hummel was back in the line up for London fashion week, he was still furious with his secretary however and had dismissed her for the day after a few harsh words, right now he was sat at his desk taking calls (something he hated doing in person) and considering getting her to find a replacement for herself (was that too harsh?).
Allison, Kurt's post woman came in to deliver the post and seeing no secretary at the desk outside his office went through to Kurt. Few people were allowed to just walk into Kurt's office without asking or getting an appointment first but Allison had always been a close friend of Kurt's and was free to come and go as she pleased.
'I take it she's been giving you hassle again' Allison said, gesturing to her desk whilst piling up Kurt's mail on the corner of his desk, Kurt's head snapped up in shock as he hadn't heard her come in.
'Allison! Hey, oh yeah- you know those designs for London fashion week I told you about?' Allison nodded, it was hard to forget, Kurt had been talking excitedly about them non-stop like a child on Christmas morning 'Well I told her that they were to be sent by latest 5 weeks ago, no exceptions!'
'So when did she actually send them' Allison asked guessing where this was going as this was not the first time that girl had let him down like this
'She didn't! I had to ring up everywhere this morning to apologise which was humiliating! They're on their way now by courier because I can't afford them being any later than they already are.'
'Well it looks like you've had a pretty tough morning already!'
'Tell me about it' Kurt grumbled as he rubbed his forehead, Allison bid her goodbyes after a few sympathetic words of encouragement and left leaving Kurt to grudgingly answer phone and sort his mail when one envelope in particular caught his attention. The envelope was unlike the normal ones he got which were slightly bulging due samples of materials and many layered documents that needed signing, this one was thin and felt like it barely contained two sheets of paper, if that, also on second glance the stamp had a little picture of Harry Potter on it, cute. Kurt thought but who in this industry would use Harry Potter stamps? Letting his curiosity get the better of him he opened it to have a look.
A/N: Yay! I'm actually so excited for this story! I apologize for the Harry Potter stamps but I couldn't resist! Please leave reviews and ideas for future chapters are most definitely welcome!
