Miranda dropped her fur coat and Marc Jacob’s bag on her second assistant's desk, reeling off commands to cancel a budget meeting with Irv Ravitz at 3:15 and reschedule for 2 days hence at 7:30 an early morning time he would undoubtedly not wish accept. Followed by pushing up today's run through with Jeremy Scott to 11am and moving her pedicure ( Read more... )

Thanks for the quick update and a chance to see things from Miranda's pov ;-)

The twins are certainly a handful but they're also very insightful as far as their mother is concerned. Do I sense a twin intervention on her behalf? lol!

Now now, that would be telling. They advise me of what they need as I write them so we shall all see. I haven't a clue yet. lol

I really, really enjoyed this. I liked how Miranda doesn't want her girls to grow up ordinary. Not in the sense of you must excel at everything you do -- like high-pressure parents -- but in the sense of the girls being interesting.

"Miranda privately elicited responses from her girls to be sure they were clear on the meanings of what they wished to convey. The proper word or phrase should be wielded with the precision of a surgeon’s scalpel."

"I expect you both to be proficient in cutting out vowels by the end of the summer. I want you to stencil a small Runway sign for me which is suitable for framing." ... "Their punishment was to practice using the Exact-o-knife until they could produce discernible a’s and u’s."

Thank you! Balancing humor, love and Miranda's exacting standards to do justice to their mother daughter bond took a number of edits and days. I really appreciate that you liked it.

Omg..the twins' "punishment". That was freakin' PRICELESS Miranda, right there. Amazing chapter!

I'm delighted that you enjoyed the chapter and the punishment. Getting Miranda on the page was harder than I anticipated so your praise means a lot.

Great chapters. Love the exacto-knife practice.

Thank you! I just loved the image of the girls bending over and plotting with a knife to exact their revenge and defend their mom's honor. A bloodless coup seemed so Miranda-esque, with the loser shrieking in the background. Obviously Miranda would wish to commemorate the occasion and still allow them all to poke fun yet be tasteful.
