UKal Ruttenstein, umlawuli wefashoni onxibe izihlangu eBloomingdale, ebesemnxebeni kwiveki emva koMbulelo, ethetha ngedraw yakhe malunga nomyili omtsha osesitolo ivenkile ebonisile kwiifestile zayo. Eyona nto isivuyisayo nesothusayo, siye sathengisa kakhulu ngezi mpahla. Sathengisa iziqwenga ezingamakhulu amabini ngeentsuku ezimbini, utshilo. Sathengise ngaphezulu kwama-50 eepesenti kwento esiyithengileyo, nto leyo engavakaliyo kweli xesha siphila kulo.
Malunga nomyili wayiphawula, Uyonwabile, ngokwenene bendingazi ukuba ndilindele ntoni ngayo yonke loo nto yaseSeinfeld. Ah, loo nto Seinfeld.
Ewe, intombi eyayisakuba yintombi kaJerry Seinfeld, uShoshanna Lonstein, ngoku oneminyaka engama-23, owaba ligama lekhaya njengentombi ekwishumi elivisayo yomhlekazi waseMelika odumileyo, sele eza kufumana intsini yokugqibela. Ngelixa abantu abaninzi baseNew York benenkcaza yokuba uNks.Lonstein uzenzele ishishini lezemfashini, bambalwa abaziyo ukuba iimpahla zakhe-ezintle nezintle, njengelokhwe yomqhaphu e-gingham kunye ne-Liberty eprintwe ngeebhegi ezifanayo (ezihambelana nomtya ovalelwe ngaphakathi) Ukuhamba. Iimpahla-uStefani Greenfeld, ongumnini we-East Side boutique Scoop, ayibiza ngokuba yimidlalo ye-lingerie-ibiza ixabiso eliphezulu kakhulu (iilokhwe zihamba malunga ne- $ 130) kwaye zijolise kubafazi abancinci abancinci. Abasetyhini abafana noNks.Lonstein, kunzima ukufumana iimpahla zokuthambisa ukuze zilungele imizimba yabo. Emva kokuphambuka kukaNks.Lonstein eBloomingdale, uMnu.Ruttenstein ulungelelanise indawo yakhe yokubhenela, wabeka iodolo enkulu yasentwasahlobo, kwaye wacela uNkosazana Lonstein, othenga eBloomie njengomntwana okwishumi elivisayo e-Upper East Side, ukuba ayile umgca kuphela kwivenkile .
Kodwa ngaba u-Nksz Lonstein uya kuba nakho ukuphepha ukuba negama lakhe kwisivakalisi esinye njengo-Jerry Seinfeld? Ukuba kukho indawo enye anokukwazi ukuyenza, kusekhaya edolophini yakhe, ayinguye lowo u-Seinfeld owenze iqonga elibekwe eHollywood. Kulapha apho u-Nksz. Lonstein azuze imbeko kuMnu. Ruttenstein nakwabanye abathengi befashoni ephezulu, eguquka ukusuka kwisibeleko seentsolo ze-bosomy uShoshanna ukuya kumongameli wenkampani enabasebenzi abasisigxina abathathu noqikelela ukuba baya kuthengisa. Isigidi esi-1 seedola ngo-1999. Kwaye ngubani ohlasela abo badibana naye bebahle kakhulu kunemifanekiso yeetafilethi zakhe ezibukhali kwaye ngubani, ngazo zonke iiakhawunti, okhubekisa… olungileyo.
Kwaye ngelixa ex wakhe kubonakala ngathi ubanjwe kwishumi elivisayo lokuthandana-ungqina ubukrwada, ulungele ukuswayipha uJessica Sklar osandul 'ukutshata kumyeni wakhe weenyanga ezintathu-uLonstein uphephezelisa uSeinfeld wakhe odlulileyo, Inxalenye yobomi bam leyo iphelile. Ngokwenene andicingi ngayo. Yayibuhlobo, kuphelele apho.
UNks Lonstein uthe khange aphoswe yiyo yonke ingqalelo. Khange ndikwazi ukucinga ngesinye isigxina esidlulileyo sobomi bam. Andizange ndive ngathi ndenze into engalunganga, ngoko ayizange indikhathaze. Okwangoku, wavuma, wafumana ukungoyiki ngokungakhathali, kunye nokuzonwabisa kwimithombo yeendaba ngesifuba sakhe, ukuzama. Endaweni yokuba ngu ‘Shoshanna,’ utshilo, kuhlala ‘kuyimeko entle Shoshanna.’ Ukuba nayo yinxalenye yesini yomzimba wakho kunzima kakhulu. Kwahlukile ukuba yimilenze emide.
Ewe, kuthatha ixesha ukuba abantu bamthathe ngokungathí sina. INew York Times, kwinto eyayiqhutywa kusuku olungaphambi komboniso wakhe wefashoni kaNovemba, wathi, Ukuba umncinci kwaye ubuqhele ukuthandana nomntu odumileyo, unokuba ngumyili weempahla. (Andiyithandi le nto, utshilo uNkskz. Lonstein ngento, iyacaphukisa kwaye ayincedi.)
Umhleli wephepha lesithandathu leNew York Post uRichard Johnson, ngelixa evuma ukuba wayengomnye waboni abaphambili (ndicinga ukuba simbize ngokuba ngungqwabalala, uphakanyiswe kakuhle…), ulithathe njengelona nenekazi liqhankqalaza kakhulu. Ubeka umsebenzi wakhe wonke ekubeni unezikhonkwane ezinkulu, kwaye ngoku uyakhalaza? wahleka. Khange akhalaze kum ndigqibele ukumbona njengoko bendijonge phantsi ibheji yakhe emnandi. Ukugqibela kwam ukumbona, wayenxibe enye yezo bustiers kwaye kwakumangalisa nje ‚Ķ Ungaphulukana ne-bagel ezantsi phaya. Nangona kunjalo, eyona nto yamva nje kwiphepha lesithandathu malunga naye limchaze nje njengeenwele ezihlungayo.
Umnumzana Ruttenstein eBloomingdale uvumile ukuba akazange akhe acinge ngabafazi abanesifuba esikhulu njengemakethi yentengiso. Kodwa uNksk. Lonstein wamngqina engachananga. Apho wayekho ngolwe-Sihlanu emva koMbulelo, esenza ukuba kubonakale ngaphakathi evenkileni ukubonwa kungqongwe ziinguqulelo ezincinci ze… Shoshanna. Abafundi abafunda phezulu babekhupha amakhadi etyala abazali babo kwaye bathenga iimpahla ngabomkhosi. Kabini, abathengi banyanzela uNkosazana Lonstein ukuba abathengisele ilokhwe yegingham epinki ephantsi awayeyinxibile. Wenza ntoni. Ungayikholelwa? UNksz Lonstein uthe. Kusendle.
‘Ndiyathanda Ukudlala’
Kwiiveki ezimbalwa ngaphambi kokuvela kwakhe eBloomingdale, UNks Lonstein wajika iintloko e-E.A.T., indawo yokutyela e-upscale Madison Avenue ebiza i-14 yeedola kwisandwich yesonka samasi. Wayenxibe idyasi yenkamela ebhinjiweyo, ijean, iibhutsi, ijezi hayi kancinci. Iinwele zakhe ezimenyezelayo ezithe nkqo zazinde kwaye zazindalo, kwaye nebala lakhe lalingenasiphako. Wayebonakala ekhululekile ngokucacileyo kulusu lwakhe. Le yiturf yakhe, ebumelwaneni apho akhulele khona waya esikolweni. Intsimi apho ahlanganisa khona abahlobo abo afotwa nabo rhoqo kumatheko kwaye wakhankanywa kwiikholamu zokuhleba. Ndikhulele esixekweni, utshilo uNkosazana Lonstein. Ndiya emathekweni apho kukho iikhamera. Ndiyathanda ukuphuma. Ndiyakuthanda ukudlala. Ndineminyaka engama-23. Inxalenye yobomi bam ngoku. Andizisoli nakanye ngayo. Uye wanyusa amagxa.
UNks. Lonstein wayephumelele kwiSikolo saseNightingale-Bamford, kwiveki enye eneentloni eneminyaka eli-18, xa wadibana noMnu Seinfeld ngelixa babehamba eCentral Park. Babekunye kule minyaka mihlanu izayo, ngakumbi eLos Angeles, apho uNkosazana Lonstein wayefudukele eU.C.L.A. Ukusuka kwiYunivesithi yaseGeorge Washington eWashington, D.C Kwakucacile ukuba uMnu.Seinfeld wabethwa. Sasithandana kakhulu, uxelele iVanity Fair kunyaka ophelileyo. Kodwa ixesha lalingalunganga ncam. Ndiphantse ndatshata noShoshanna. Mhlawumbi yayingelilo nje ixesha. Andifuni umfazi wam asebenze, Mnu. Seinfeld uxelele oqaqambileyo. Ndibe nomsebenzi owaneleyo sobabini.
Emva kokuba ephumelele e-U.C.L.A., UNks Lonstein wayecinga ngokuya kwezemali. Emva koko waphinda wacinga. Wayehleli kudliwanondlebe ngomsebenzi webhanki kwaye wazifumana esenza inyaniso. Umfo ubuzile, ngaba bendisentlalweni, utshilo uNkskz. Lonstein. Ndiyazi ukuba impendulo eyiyo nguHayi, kodwa yayiliva elinzima. Wanikwa lo msebenzi, kodwa wawala. Andifuni ukungonwabi mihla le. Ugqibe kwelokuba aqhubeke nokuthanda kwakhe, ukuyila iimpahla, kwaye waqala ngento awayeyazi kancinane, iimpahla zangaphantsi. Njengomfazi onesayizi ephindwe kabini ye-D bra, U-Nks.Lonstein wayehlala enengxaki yokufumana iibrasi kunye neesuti zokuhlamba ezilunga kakuhle kwaye zibukeka zintle, kwaye ziya kugqibela ngokwenziwa ngokwesiko. Xa unxibe iimpahla zangaphantsi ezintle, uziva ungcono kancinci, wahleka. Nokuba ndinxibe nje ijean kunye nejezi, ndiyathanda ukunxiba into engezantsi. Ngokuqinisekileyo ndiyisinxibo sefantasy!
Emva kokuzifundela inkampani ye-lingerie kwisithili sempahla unyaka, apho wafunda khona ngokwakha, indlela yokufumana ilaphu kunye nendlela yokukhetha uhlobo olulungileyo lwe-elastic, wazixhuma wanxiba iilokhwe kunye nezemidlalo, ezobe uyilo ngeMarker Magic incwadana. Emva koko wagqiba kwelokuba aphume yedwa. Ndaziva ukuba ndisilele, yayilungile. ukusilela ngoku, watsho, xa ndandisemncinci. U-Nks. Lonstein waya kuyise uZach, usomashishini owayeqale inkampani yeekhompyuter unyaka uphumelele ekholejini. Abazali bam ngabahlobo bam abasenyongweni, utshilo, kwaye ngenene, usakhetha ukuhlala kwindlu yabantu bakowabo iFifth Avenue. AbakwaLonsteins–Shoshanna, uZach, umama wakhe uBetty kunye nomntakwabo David–speak bathetha omnye komnye kathathu ngemini. Uyenzile indawo yakhe wayisa kuyise. Wayengafuni ukunikezela kwangoko, utshilo uNkskz. Lonstein. Kodwa umnumzana uLonstein wagqiba kwelokuba anike intombi yakhe ubuncinci obungenanto: irente kwigumbi lokubonisa ekwabelwana ngalo kunye nemali yokuvelisa umgca, kwaye uya kunceda ukuhlawula umvuzo womlingane.
UShoshanna Ukhutshiwe
Ngorhatya lwango-Novemba. 23, uZach Lonstein wayezama ukuthetha ngentla komculo kunye namazwi abantu abangama-500 abaxinene eSpoop. Yayingumbhiyozo wokwazisa uShoshanna. Ikhonkco neleli, izibane ezidanyazayo, zazipakwe kwiThathu Avenue. Emile kwintambo yevelvet ecaleni kwendlela yayinguLara Shriftman, umsasazi womsitho ngeli xesha, encumile njengamantombazana afana namawele kaRonson, uSamantha noCharlotte, oodade beBhodi, uSerena noSamantha, kunye noAerin Lauder Zinterhoffer badlula. Baye balandelwa ngu-rap mogul uRussel Simmons (ndicinga ukuba iimpahla zikaShoshanna zishushu) kunye nenkosikazi yakhe encinci, uKimora Lee Simmons. Umnumzana Lonstein wakhangeleka ehlekisiwe. Khange ndiyilindele ke le, utshilo. Khange ndicinge ukuba uyayazi into angayaziyo. Malunga nokuyivelisa, ukuyihambisa. Kodwa wayezimisele, ndicinga ukuba ulifanelwe lithuba. Ndathi, ‘Awuzange uphinde usebenze.’ Wathi, Nawe. Uziqalele inkampani yakho. ' Umnumzana Lonstein wajonga ecaleni kwakhe. Khange ndiyilindele ke le, wayiphinda. Kuphezu kwee-racks. KuseBloomingdale's.
Intombi yakhe yayixhaswe ekoneni, inxibe i-bustier eprintiweyo eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka nomhlophe kunye nesiketi eside. Ingubo inamathele kuye yonke ijika. Umfana kaNks. ULonstein uJay Aston, umgcini webhanki yotyalo-mali oneminyaka engama-24 ubudala, uhlala kufutshane. Njengoko abahlobo babesondela, uNkosazana Lonstein wanika uphawu ngalunye uphawu lwakhe ngoncumo olubanzi. Wayebonakala edidekile, kodwa onwabile.
UStefani Greenfield, umnini-Scoop, wayenemincili. Sathetha ngale nto kwitheko lesidlo sangokuhlwa ngoJulayi, kwaye andikholwa ukuba uyenzile yonke le nto, utshilo. Uyamangalisa. Abantu abanjengoShoshanna abaphantsi kangaka emhlabeni ngabo ngabo ngokwenene baya kuba nobomi obude. Wayefaka iingxowa zezipho ngobusuku obandulela ipati yam nabasebenzi bam! Ungene evenkileni amatyeli amane ukuya kwamahlanu edolophini nasezidolophini ukunceda abathengi…
UNks Greenfeld wajonga kwiimodeli ezinxitywe nguShoshanna ezazisasazeka. Kukho ukungakhathali okuthile malunga nale mveliso, utshilo. Yintombazana, iyonwabisa kwaye inqaku lamaxabiso liyamangalisa. Abantu abathengisi enye, bathenga ezimbini nezintathu! Sithengise phantse iipesenti ezingama-70 zemveliso yokuthenga kwisithuba nje esingaphantsi kweeveki ezintathu.
Njengokuba itheko lalihlile, abantu bashiye bephethe iingxowa zezipho ze-gingham (iAltoids, iklip yeenwele zerhinestone, izinto zokuhlamba…) Isikhuni somlilo besingasekho, izitrato zithule. UZach Lonstein wajonga intombi yakhe. Uhlala efuna ukuphumelela, utshilo. Wayekucaphukela ukuxelelwa ukuba akanakwenza nto.
