The Countess in Rolling Stone
I had another post about Cibeles planned for today, but this morning something finally happened that I've been waiting for two months and that this week almost gave me a stomach ulcer from all the nerves.
And that is, in the October issue of Rolling Stone magazine (Spanish edition) two of my jackets are featured....

Excuse me, could you repeat what you just said? Yes, of course, I'll drop my feigned calmness right now and explain it to you in more detail....

I brush my hair out of my face, wipe the drool from the phone and tell you again with the feigned naturalness from the beginning that, indeed, I don't know if it's clear yet, but two of my jackets are in an article about the Beatles in the October Rolling Stone....repeat after me (I'm hooked on the stupid Learn English channel on digital TV, I hate the guy, but it hooks me, arrghns)...two La Condesa jackets are in the October Rolling Stone magazine...
I've known about it since July but I didn't believe it, that's why I didn't dare to venture anything on the blog beforehand, until last week I spoke with Lucía de Pedro (such a sweet and pleasant girl!) the fashion editor and she confirmed it to me, since then the Consort and I have been to an average of 2 newsstands per day, I promise you I'm not exaggerating, I can definitely map out all the newsstands and VIPS in the center of Madrid for you (has it arrived yet? has the Rolling Stone arrived yet? Is it here yet? No, the October one. No, the Spanish one). The last straw was when on Wednesday afternoon it still hadn't arrived after they assured me on Tuesday that it would:
-But don't you understand that you're playing with my feelings and my nerves and I can't take it anymore? When will the blessed magazine arrive and stop lying to me?
-Tomorrow at 6 in the morning they distribute it
-At 6 in the morning? (gulp)...Well, I'll see you here (oh how cheeky)
-Well, I'll wait for you here, sweetie

Good thing I fell asleep because it didn't arrive until Friday. And today, when I finally opened it, nervous as hell, instead of crying as I always thought would happen, the cold sore I have on my lips broke out from the nervous laughing fit I had in the middle of Colón. I couldn't stop laughing, I still can't, even now when I open the magazine to page 85 it's like when they showed me the sack of laughter when I was little....instant happiness.
I can't say goodbye without giving thanks to the owners of the jackets already delivered who let me collect them so the stylist could choose the most appropriate one, thanks to Lucía de Pedro from Rolling Stone who is so lovely, to the Consort for those photos as best he could at the last minute and especially to that woman for whom I'm already saving up to buy an apartment on Gran Vía because she was the mastermind behind everything, thank you Andrea, you're the best boss.
I'm going to buy all the magazines within a 1km radius because wallpapering a whole wall with the photos requires many issues
A thousand kisses,
La Condesa exploding in a galaxy of happiness singing the Rolling Stones' Satisfaction mixed with the Beatles' Strawberry Fields
