Throwback Thursday: Busy Business Lady, Busy With Business

October 17, 2013 by WendyB

Whenever I’m super-busy, I like to tell MrB that I’m a “busy businesswoman doing business.” That’s inspired by this Family Guy moment.

I don’t have a lot of photos of me in the office during my corporate days, but I’ve dug up two. This one is from 1995, when I worked for the Wall Street Journal Interactive Edition. My awesome perm was growing out. Note the basket of candy to my right. It was supposed to be for everyone, but I think I ate 99% of the contents.

I was wearing the red pantsuit by Complice (Gianni Versace used to design the line) that I bought second-hand at Allan & Suzi. I donated that one to a thrift store a long time ago, but I still have the black Versace pantsuit I’m wearing in the photo below.

This was taken in 2003 or 2004, in my office at Lehman Brothers. I can’t remember why MrB sent me the spectacular roses! Birthday? Valentine’s Day? Whatever the reason, I was clearly very happy about the flowers.

    Mr B gives good flowers. I hope he has maintained the standard over the years! I suspect he has, he strikes me as one cool dude.
    I had forgotten about the penis cure, thanks for the reminder.

    That’s the kind of bouquet that makes fellow office workers stared in stunned silence as the delivery person walks by.

    You’re adorable. And OMG, we are seriously sistahs from another mistah. I was just doing some 80’s research over the weekend and tried Googling Complice. There is almost nothing to be found. So sad. I loved it!
