A few good tips.

Referenced in another film, I made a point to watch Working Girl. This proved to be a more difficult feat than expected. Blockbuster: Checked out. Come back in a few days. Various vendors: We don't carry that, it's too old. Back to rentals: It's checked in. It's not there. Well then we don't know.

Virgin in Union Square finally delivered. Getting past the completely amazing hair, ill-fitting clothes(was anything in the 80's figure flattering?) the film expertly crafted NYC corporate America. Down to coffee as a focal point in the office- all coupled with the over-the-top exchanges: you just can't make these scenarios up.A Deus ex machina, for myself...

Admittedly, I harbor a slight obsession for Alec Baldwin, (30 Rock!). Even in his earlier career stage, he delivers. The subculture of Staten Island is expertly portrayed in Working Girl.

On that note, a few words to the wise:

"It needs some bows or something."

"If you wanna be taken seriously, you need serious hair."
(W.G. on getting ahead in your career)
