DIVAS
09.13.05 (9:13 pm) [edit]On Saturday I played the part of a DIVA assistant. It was really cool. Here, let me back up and explain . . .
At my internship our annual largest fundraising event was held on Saturday. We regularly raise $300,000-500,000. I don't know yet how much we raised this year, but more on that later.
My job(s) included transporting guests and performers via golf carts (which went at least 40 mph), getting food/running errands for the four "Divas" who performed and sang as well as other various tasks.
The event was comprised of dinner, dessert and drinks for more than 1,000 people. It also had a silent auction, live auction, reverse auction, guest speakers, four singers with bands and other entertainment. It was formal dress, so I got to dress up pretty :)
Anyway, I had a fantastic time and loved every minute of it (except for the wave of sheer exhaustion that hit when I got home, to the point that I practically passed out in my car!!!)

yikes, exhaustion; you sure sounded like you had a lot of responsibility and fun up to that point, though!
besides this weekend, is your job frequently loads of fun?

Yeah, actually the internship has been high fashion and fun, as well as meaningful because I am helping children. The last event prior to this one was a fashion show by www.Moniquelhuillier.com - It was fun, too. This has turned out to be much more glamorous than I anticipated. Oh, and I wore a black dress with with hot pink piping and a few bows. It's kind of hard to explain. Maybe I'll try to post a pic. Thanks for your support girls!
