Kerri, who no one cares about, is meeting with her pimp Tony Abrams who runs the “lifestyle conceirge” business where Kerri makes travel and restaurant arrangements for wealthy clients. Seriously she can keep trying to push that it’s a legit job like bringing bagels to put on a private plane that she arranged without washing her hands but I am not convinced. I know she’s really an escort because I doubt you make that much being an errand bitch to the wealthy that you can afford an apartment on the Upper East Side AND brand new designer clothing. Kerri is worried about balancing her internship with her job and her boss is pretty much worried that she won’t be available for clients but fakes support for her internship because of what it could bring to his business. Clients like intelligent conversation sometimes I suppose. He wants her to work their booth at Art Basel in Miami which is a huge art convention. Later in the episode she visits her father and his side of the family in Long Island. Her dad is super obsessed with football and between watching the game and lecturing Kerri, he basically says he is worried that she won’t be able to pay her rent and that she will have to move back in with him. Kerri interviews that her biggest fear is having to live back in Long Island. Does anyone care about Kerri or her story?

The Williamsburg Trio and Angela are at a bar where Angela is of course looking for dick when it arrives in the form of 3 hipster boys. Chantal says she hates when unattractive men hit on her and that it offends her. Not for nothing but Chantal is really pretty but it’s a shame she hides it behind her hipster shit attitude. Claudia doesn’t really say much because she is in the corner calculating how much money they are losing by sitting in the bar and Angela for some reason doesn’t pick up that there is a man in front of her…she must be tired from the night before. One of the men walks up and sticks his finger in a bowl of their mac and cheese to taste it and then tells Lara to move over so he can sit by her. She starts giving him major bitch face and attitude when Chantal joins in pissed that her mac and cheese was raped by this guy’s finger. Angela and Claudia are kind of ignoring them when the guy tells Lara that it’s Asian month and to basically get out of the way so he can hit on Angela who looks like a raven. Lara gets up to leave and the hipster guy grabs the mac and cheese again and smashes it into his face before walking off. He finally gets Angela’s attention because some of the cheese got on her horrible jacket and so she throws the rest of the mac and cheese at him as he walks off. It’s not like they were actually going to eat it so what was the big deal?

I echo your sentiments on the girls…esp on Angela….that girl is so full of herself and with absolutely nothing to back up her cockiness….she is neither pretty, cool, intelligent or in any way gifted….she is by far the worst of the bunch.
I’m feeling sorry for Cloud-ia, but given Chantals personality would have predicted that from the get go.
I just have one question about the Maggie person….wtf is she on?? or is she BPD? schizo? I don’t know but I detect something way way off in her persona….seriously amiss….
and great recap SG….I always forget to give credit to the author on gasmi recaps….kudos!
The jury is still out on Liz…
Chantal is an asshole.
Maggie has issues if she slept with Eli…issues.
Kerri is Rachel Uschital fug.
I thought that Chantal had short hair at the bar with the other girls, and than a few scenes later she went to get a haircut. I remember I thought that her hair was pretty short already, but tat the hairdresser’s it seemed shoulder lenght. I am not invested in the show, so maybe I didn’t pay enough attention. Can someone tell me if I am wrong or right?
Thanks Cherry, glad you like the recap
I think Maggie just has self-esteem issues and isn’t good at taking control of situations. If she were more assertive like Liz, she would have just demanded the letter and left.
Sheesh thank you I was trying to pinpoint what her face reminded me of and that’s a close one.
aliens.rock I am pretty sure they jumped around with it in the episode before they showed her actually cutting it.
Liz has a sleeve tattoo, a chihuahua named Bam and enough sense not to go anywhere outside of work with Eli. More than meets the eye, for sure.
Angela, Angela, Angela. Stop watching premium cable and passing off their dialogue for “banter.”
I feel all these girls are playing up their New York stereotypes to a T without even realizing it. Spoiled princess, edgy artsy alternative chick, naive up and comer with big dreams and tiny budget, girl desperately trying to be accepted into the elite group.
Not that I don’t love every minute of it.
I take back despising Liz, she won me over with her sleeve tattoo on a local news show I saw, and then sealed the deal in this episode. On the news she was basically like ‘yeah I’m rich, anyone will hire me in the art world.’ she got where Maggie tried to bang her way into— the front desk with no effort.
@aliens…yes the hair was short, then long for a talking head, then off to the hairdresser….must’ve been some kind of filler scene that they threw in out of sequence. Wasn’t Chantal’s hair short on the first episode too? pretty sure it was…..
Thanks people. I thought that maybe I was going crazy…It kinda shows how fake everything is – they just move events around to fill in a half an hour. The “busy” girl with TWO tasks to do. Pick up effing bagels AND a picture. And she was complaining about how buy her profesional life is …Give me a break. She didn’t even use public transportation. And as someone rightly noticed, she touched those bagels with her grimy hands. Yummy…People bust their asseses working sometimes two jobs just to make thirty grand, and they have families to support. I can’t stand people making pretty good money and complaining. Well, you effing signed up for it! You could be working at McDonald’s – they would show you busy around the lunch time…
Speaking of TV Junkie’s link last week: I checked what other Gallery Girls articles that site had up, and the first one (dated yesterday) is that Bravo is cancelling Work of Art to focus on this travesty. They’re dumping China and Simon for these bimbos? Boooooooooooooooo!
Two of them need an eyebrow wax – stat…
c8h10n4o2 I sincerely hope you are lying because Work of Art was one of my favorites! Bravo really sucks at their programming…seriously give us some bullshit like Love Broker and Miss Advised but not something that enriches your mind like Work of Art?
SG: Sad, but frighteningly likely: http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/arts/culture/la-et-cm-work-of-art-bravo-20120821,0,5893572.story
Damn you, Andy Cohen! Even if it does go to another network, just look at how well that worked out for PR.
Wasn’t Maggie also Bethany Frankel’s third or fourth assistant last season? She had a freak out on a trip to Cabo that Bethany paid for and then sent her an email that she was quitting when they got home. I’m sure its the same girl.
You missed the best moment (read: pretentious) of the episode when Chantal proclaimed that she doesn’t drink wine from Oregon and demanded a bottle from France!
I don’t like any of them which is why I like the show! It’s unbelievable how wretched these bitches all are. Angela the try-hard former geek and Chantal the cold, artsy hipster (also a former geek) are the worst! Kerri seems okay enough for now (she’s too boring to be controversial) but I’m not buying that her actual job in “luxury lifestyle concierge” or whatever either. She’s definitely a high-paid call girl. Did the Johns on that private plane not accept bagels from the actual airport?
Someone on twitter said that Maggie and Casey Anthony are actually the same person- that’s who she reminds me of, haha! She has some sort of speech impediment/shyness/insecurity with herself that does not work for reality tv. I really don’t like her at all. Her entire story makes zero sense and she’s a stuck up bitch. Not attractive on top of it all and had relations with one of the creepiest people I’ve seen on tv- Eli. Blahhh.
Liz is a bitch but at least she keeps it real and seems relatively normal. She reminds me a bit of Kristin Cavallari from Laguna Beach/The Hills. She’s a spoiled princess as well but at least she has a history of drugs and no high school diploma which makes her at the very least interesting.
I feel for Amy. She knows what she’s working with and tries to be nice to people and show off her wealth to compensate. She’s just clueless. People should throw her a bone.
Claudia actually uttered the phrase “It was not my jam”, without a hint of sarcasm in the first episode, so I’m still on the fence about her. As much as I dislike Chantal, I think she “showed up late to work” because it wasn’t really her responsibility to be there early. Claudia handles that while Chantal does behind the scenes stuff like text on her BlackBerry to the vendors for merch.
I just have so many thoughts on this ridiculous show. I know most people I talked with passionately don’t like any of these girls either. I hope Gallery Girls doesn’t get canceled like the gem that was NYC Prep because it’s too good of a trainwreck to pass by!
Chantal looks like a Tim Burton character. She comes from some little farm town in Ga. I am sure she was picked on in school and that is why she comes off as being a total bitch. It is a shield..if you listen to her sickening baby girl voice in the “interviews” you can just feel how she is insecure and trying to be a big/tough girl from NYC..you can take the poor girl from the rural south to NYC, but they will never feel like they fit in and will always push to hard.
As for Maggie I bet she was Bethany’s intern…she is a mess and so is her dirty apt. They have the girls give apt. tours on the BRAVO sight very interesting. Amy keeps talking abour HER APT. as she gives the tour , but she does admit that it belongs to her father..I can’t wait until he sells it and kicks her out…I wonder how she will handle it..unless she trows such a fit that he gets her a bigger/better one…
I was really hoping that the hole in the wall End of the Century goes bust..but it is still there..It is in a place where there WERE gallerys ..like 10 years ago, but they all moved out..and it is not really a gallery..not by NYC terms…I can’t stand watching but at the same time I can’t wait until next week
http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/culture/2012/08/bravo-gallery-girls.html
This is a great article from The New Yorker about Gallery girls with the 3 dark witches pictured in it!
I forgot to diss Kerry…I do wonder how she can afford the rent…could she be a high class call girl? …very interesting..didn’t she tell her dad that she save up money for a FEW weeks to live on in NYC????
Maybe that is why the cheap -o left the bar without paying her share ..she just thought that she “was on a date” and didn’t have to pay…or is it because she knows what a tool Amy is? and that Amy will do anything for a friend?! Let’s face it poor Amy is desperate..
it is not always easy being Amy ..I am sure ..Now I know why they say “POOR LITTLE RICH GIRL”
OK I am done with my comments today………….
@14 Krista– I hear ya on Maggie’s very halted speech. I think she is a pretentious trust-fund brat. Not sure where she found that denim shirt— did not get the memo it was still in style If it is then Mr Cawfee’s boss is really cool—his winter work-shirts are denim–tres stylin’ on the job-site!!!
I would love to know if she was Betthany’s former intern!!!!
Still out on the rest of the crew except Krista— did she really bail on paying for her drinks???? Giving LI girls a badname !!!
And Chantal– pretentious– I want Countess Luann’s bf to go all wine-game on her !!!!!! Did Chantal work at a Stew Leonards wine shop and this makes her so expert???
Lara–just fades into the back-ground.
I think CHANTAL thinks she is French ..since her backwards mother gave her such a pretentious ( great adj. for her Hot Cawfee! ) name. I can’t stand her at all !! She is a freak like a Tim Burtan character…if they ever put one of his movies on stage and use real people she would be the star.
LOL.. when you go to the BRAVO site..there is a video tour that she gives of her apt. it is dirty and as horrible as she is…she says pointed to a “loft” ( not really ) that she likes to keep her BF in the loft (attic) and her tool with the fake glasses waves down to her…OMG then she takes us into the really dirty kitchen and she points to some bottles of wine and says ” I like French wine”..note to Chantal ..just because it is French doesn’t make it great..there are lots of cheap French wines out there…
My only hope is that she does not get rich from this show like Lauren Conrad did from the Hills……
I love the leads on these sites. I never go to the Bravo site bc it is too discriminatory, but thanks to
@tvjunkie for this jewel. I’m always curious about the little rat hole NY apts and Chantals personifies that to a tee. Now I may have to go back and view the other apartments as well…..
kerri’s apartment is not in the Upper East Side it is in the West Village.
I know this because I live across the street. I have no idea how she affords it…I’m estimating that apartment being close to $4,000 a month.
Liz’s sleeve tattoo changes arms in different scenes. Not real…pretty lame
