No I wouldn't want to be a designer for the star's, they would drive me crazy with all of their demands. (Not For Me)
When people are too demanding, I just walk always. So No I couldn't. But may be I would hire someone that could talk to them and take it. And I would do the designs in the back ground.
No I wouldn't want to they are to picky.
I think so! It would be a super fun job in my books!
Sure, I would look at it as being a challenge! I'm sure some celebs would be difficult to deal with, but it could also be pretty fun.
No I don't think I would want to be a designer to the rich.. :P
My styling is too practical for me to want to be a designer to the rich and famous!
I could be a great designer. Just don't like to sew. :)
