   I only don’t watch the show anymore, but you’re saying somebody invested $500,000 in that stupid life-span app? Somebody who doesn’t mind losing money? Well, that’s the only thing that would explain it.

   “Sarah needs to be a bit more likable so they’ve decided to write in a breast cancer scare….”

   Well she is from Marin….

   Has anyone Googled Shenova? You should not have quit your day job Kim. Who is going to buy that crap?

   Thanks for all your hard work Jane and Blanche.

   I don’t think that’s the same site- it says shenova was started in 2011 by someone other than Kim and I don’t see her name anywhere. I think the gymnastics move is spelled with a u- shunova and that google search didn’t bring up anything. Maybe Kim did some actual research and found the similar site and decided to name it something different…

   Thanks guys!

   I feel like I should say SPOILER ALERT for some reason…

   And it looks like you can get the app goalsponsors on your phone.

   I think everyone has been going to the wrong site for Kim, though I still believe a woman who dresses like her should be the last one running a startup for fashion. According to the Bravo bio her website is Shonova.com… though being an anti-facebook person, I guess I won’t be part of her Beta test.

    Good catch Insane, but I thought Kim was bright. She didn’t research this name before she started? Her first idea for a name was dead from the get-go unless she planned on paying the girl for the use of her name. Now we have another site that is selling clothing for the nerdy girl with the same name. Strike two Kim. And Shonova is way to close to shenova. Me thinks if you might be getting a call from a lawyer about confusing names etc. That could be a stretch since I have never heard about shenova until the show. Oh and you just gave that girl a lot of free publicity.

    Is that Sarah she is using for a model? Goodness I hope not.

    Get over your whole “we disrupt companies” crap. No you don’t. People who “disrupt” things don’t sit around and talk about disrupting. They just do it.

    J&B you are correct. Lisa would never allow Pandy to have such roots.

    So we now know where Herms gets her leggings from… shenovafashion.com – that is some hideous stuff… yikes!

    @Lab – I can understand why you thought it was Sara… she’s just as scary (assuming you mean the woman in the red dress)

    Anyone else think that the producer, Miss Zuckerberg, had anything to do with Dwight landing a job at her big brother’s place?

    Good point- I wonder if it was a pity hire because she knew their site was not going to be successful
