Big-City Survival Guide:

The Triumphant Scoop Presents, The Big-City Survival Guide:

#1: SMARTPHONE- Just imagine how much you would miss out on if you couldn't get those important emails before the end of your long 12 hour days. Especially for you international jet-lagged folks. Its a life-saver, I nearly drowned on the late boat before I owned one. Now I'm happily engaged to it.

#2: VASELINE- Laugh, call me old school, but Vaseline's been raking in the press lately after Glamour magazine ranked it as a best natural beauty treatment. It'll add a glow to anybody's flow while enhancing eyelashes, lips, eyebrows and even waking up tired eyes. On the Beach, at a shoot, rocking it shirtless? Get on it people, give your flow some glow.

#3: IPOD- to tune out the loud hustle and bustle, panhandlers and taxi horns of our fav cities. Get into your zone, it makes the day so much sexier. But don't get splattered! Daily we see many of you fine folks and fabulous runway struts hauled and embarrassed by a flying, obnoxious truck and it's honking horn. Not so cool when that happens, eh? ;-).

#4: METROCARD- Yes, so many of us think we are just oh too good for the train. Yet many have no choice during rush hour, crazy events and when cabbies just can't be found(or in my case, just don't want to stop for a black man!). Learn to keep one of those little maps with you too as you never know where you may end-up. So yea, learn to appreciate our underground wheels of steel. =D

#5: FASHIONABLE ITEMS HOLDER- Never leave home w/o it btwn 9am & 6pm. Contents: Everything above, a nice pin(an ink-pin that someone lets you borrow and abruptly waits for its return saying, "Oh, that's my good pen!"), an agenda book, your portfolio book(if applicable) and LOTS of business cards.

Enjoy!
