Fun at Auto Shows

Some of Mommy Chick's friends are freezing in Detroit right now for the North American International Auto Show.  As I previously told you, MC and I were once"product specialists" for a major auto manufacturer.

Our days consisted of smiling and talking about horsepower, all while wearing pointy high heels.  Our shoes were actually pretty comfortable, made by BCBG.   If you're looking for some sassy high heels that will only make your feet bleed a little after standing for 12 hours, we recommend these.  They are $80.01 at Zappos.




If you've ever wondered about a "day in the life" of an auto show "specialist," check out this funny blog, Do You Come with the Car?

Oh, the memories!

Days as a Car Babe

I used to be an auto show model.

Technically, I guess that is not true. First, the term is not "model," it is "product specialist." And second, I wasn't really the one hired for the job. Mommy Chick was, but I was the size of a blueberry hiding in her tummy during one of the world's biggest auto shows last season.

I tried to be helpful. I knew she was worried about outgrowing her uniforms, so I made her throw up. A lot. Non-stop actually.



See that picture? Mommy Chick is the one of the right clutching a small bowl of fruit, praying not spew it all over her friends' shoes. I am hiding under her jacket.

I learned a lot while being a model, uh, I mean product specialist. These are the phrases I heard most:

No, I don't come with the car.
No, we don't have any posters.
Diesel is not loud and diry
.
Fine German engineering (That's my personal fav. Mommy Chick would randomly say that when all other words escaped her)

The reason I'm telling you all this is that since I arrived, Daddy Dude thinks MC and I need a new ride. We aren't sure what rocks our world. Currently, we have a cute little Volvo.

Daddy Dude wants us to look at the Volvo XC60:

Or the crossover vehicle made by Cadillac (SRX, I think):
I personally think he is trying to head off any possibility of a mini van because it is hard to look butch in one.

What do you think would be the best way for MC to chauffeur me around town?
