CAMERON JAMES Cameron James wakes up in her perfectly designed, luxury bedroom with drapes flowing in the sun-beamed room in her 2 story home in Greenwich, CT. She puts on her Phillip Lim robe and makes her way down the creaky wooden stairs to the kitchen. She turns on her espresso machine. She makes herself a latte, grabs a seat at her desk, and goes through her emails. She responds to her clients, makes a few phone calls and begins to read the Huffington Post online as her she sips her cooled latte. She looks at the time on her rose gold Rolex given to her weeks before for her 39th birthday from her husband Ryan. It reads 6:46am. She grabs her yogurt and granola out of the fridge, and calls her best friend to make after work drink plans at the Hurricane Club. She then goes upstairs, hops in the shower, opens up her closet and sighs. She forget to pick up the pile of clothes she left of the floor from her bath the night before. She decides on a silk, button-up shirt, a black leather skirt and her favorite Brian Atwood heels. She puts on some makeup, her signature red lips, and gives her straight, auburn hair a comb through. She checks her watch, grabs her Celine bag, gets into her white BMW suv, and drives 10 minutes to the train station. She hops on the train and by 9:30am she arrives at Grand Central. She hops on the 6 train and gets off at 34th and Park, and walks up into a towering office building. She works until 6pm, hops in a cab and heads to the Hurricane Club. Lisa is already there, her best friend since college. They have a few drinks, catch up and Ryan calls her waiting outside for a ride home. She hops into the 2-door Mercedes, and they chat about their day. They arrive an hour later back in Greenwich where Ryan drops her at her car still parked at the station. When she arrives back home, Ryan is making up a cheese plate and they decide to sit outside on their porch and sip some wine. They sit outside for an hour and decide that they will take a weekend trip to Maine the following weekend. They look at the clock, it reads 10:45pm, but tomorrow is Saturday so they figure they can sleep in. They turn on some music, The Clash, her favorite, and continue to drink and talk. They eventually make their way upstairs. She settles into the covers, reads a little bit and falls asleep.

After graduation she worked for Ogilvy & Mather in Chicago for 5 years and later transferred to work for them in New York City.
