"  According to a piece of junk mail I received from FTD this morning, in addition to being the day we celebrate all things environmental, today also marks the day bosses are expected to show appreciation to those who serve them. That&amp;#039;s right, Assistant&amp;#039;s Day (formerly known as Secretary&amp;#039;s Day) is once again upon us and has once more been eclipsed by its more celebrity-endorsed elder sibling, Earth Day. Since I neither have nor am an assistant, and since I bear witness on a daily basis to the hard work and long hours of some of the most dedicated assistants in the business, I felt I was a pretty good impartial voice to remind those at the top that today, in between carpooling to showroom appointments and changing into recycled, $7,000 feedbag bustiers for opening night at the opera (we all watched The Real Housewives last night, yes?), please remember to treat your right and left hands to something special. FTD suggests tulips, which is a perfectly nice idea, but this is the fashion industry, after all, and as I always say, nothing says `thank you&amp;#039; like a little Lanvin (especially when it&amp;#039;s Michelle Obama-endorsed). Best, Johanna  The perfect Assistant&amp;#039;s/Earth Day gift, courtesy of your boss and Alber Photo: kirnazabete.com "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
