Before Lauren Sherman became a special correspondent at Puck covering the fashion and luxury industries, she was a temp in New York City writing HTML. "I moved to New York at the end of 2005, and I joined one of those temp agencies, and I got this good gig writing code," Sherman said. It didn't take long for Sherman to land her big break working for Forbes.com as an assistant lifestyle editor. My whole thing was like, "I have to get a staff writing job by the time I'm 27." Also, "This is way more fun than writing fashion copy," which I wasn't very good at.
