I sometimes dream of completely having a ‘life make-over’ and this would be a job I would absolutely love! Unfortunately, I am not in advertising, but am a post-doctoral scientist…..Well, if you ever need one of those, I’ll move to NYC in a heartbeat, just so you know…. ;)

Que lástima, como me gustaría poder trabajar en una revista como burda, pero no vivo en EUA. Ojala abrieran oportunidades para extranjeros.
