Intresting story but your “ background” music is upstaging you.

This company having no paper trail in the grand old year of 2017 was wilddddd. Never anything on email - having to scribble down what brand you were working on from their muffled voicemail and never getting the brand name right because I knew no luxury brands 🥲

BCB crew here😂 Foundation matching in 2016 was basically me saying “let’s try a warmer shade” with absolutely no idea what that meant.

I WAS WITH THEM 2013-2014!!!!!!!!!!! TBC!!!!!! We had to wear pearl necklace and pearl earrings and someone would check if we had our lipstick and nails the same colour. We had to always have our hair straight. We had to wear the same black Zara blazer and Zara pencil skirt.!!!!

this is so interesting 😳 why would an acting/entertainment agency send actors to harrods? is it a temporary gig while youre waiting on casting interviews?

Fun fact, I worked at Harrods whilst at uni (not through that company) and this is what actually made me NOT want to pursue acting as a career 😂 I was terrified of being an actor stuck in Harrods forever

Selling perfume and having to blag what ‘notes’ were in each scent - I was even sent to selfridges once l? I swear the agency used to cover all the big shops!

Harrods circa 2016! But I worked for them directly in kitchenware and I actually loved it, it's got me so many jobs since 😅

Hahaha what a throwback! God I did it for years, but managed to eventually get some of the best shifts so think that’s how I stuck with it🤣…. THE CHARACTER SHOES THOUGH! We all shared that collective experience for the first week😩
