It's Fashion Week in NYC!! Can you feel the excitement? I can hardly wait to see the tall stick thin girls walk around in clothes that no one will wear.
There are leg warmers that look like someone skinned a Wookie. There are hats so big you can't fit them in an elevator and heels so high you'll get a nosebleed if you wear them. But it's ART!!! and more importantly, these things have labels from well-known designers and each article costs more than you make in a year.

It just like that old saying, "Crap is crap, but expensive crap is treasured like a diamond." (This is not really an old saying, it's an original TVannie saying)
In addition to the awful clothes, there are the hair and makeup creations. Some believe that the makeup and hair trends on the runway will influence how regular people do their hair and makeup in the upcoming season. You would have to be on drugs to think these hair and makeup combinations look good.
On the other hand, if each model's head is shaved on one side and shellacked to a brilliant shine on the other side with an empty beer can entwined as some sort of sculpture and their makeup includes black eyelids and pasty white lips, will you do that to yourself before work or for an evening out with the girls?
So let's get right to this week's episode before someone feeds a model and her hideous outfit bursts and she puts someone's eye out with her bony ribs.
Jessie is just so happy she crawled out of the coffin last week for her job interview because she got the job at Charlotte Ronson working as an intern for no pay. Of course our dearly beloved Queen of the Damned is as gracious as usual. Jessie says she is "seven years younger than the rest of the applicants and she has the same work experience. That's a bit pathetic don't you think?"

Jessie goes to work at the Charolotte Ronson fashion show. When she walks in and sees Matt (her boss), he looks at her and says he's glad she's there, then he looks at her brown tweed jacket and says "this isn't black take it off" Jessie tells him she wears it everyday. Matt doesn't care to hear her explanation, he dismisses her to remove the non-black item. It seems to me that our fashion queen Jessie should know 1) that everyone wears black head to toe in the fashion business and 2) no one is interested in an intern's opinion.
After her jacket is off, Jessie looks around for something to do. There are a lot of interns just standing around and no one seems to know what to do. Matt asks Jessie and another girl to watch a door and make sure that no one enters through it.

After a few minutes of watching a closed door, Jessie and her intern friend decide that they can watch the door and the fashion show at the same time. Jessie the Queen of the Damned is showing us her great organizational skills and her ability to multi-task. Wow, she is practically on her way to running the whole fashion show by herself. Soon she'll be barking orders at some interns of her own and making them feel lower than dirt. Jessie will excel at barking orders and placing blame on others.
Unfortunately Charlotte Ronson's staff did not recognize that Jessie is a fashion genius. Even though she is a natural watchdog with a nasty bite, and probably the best little door watcher ever, Jessie quits this job and moves on to bigger and better things namely Carmen Marc Valvo.
Even if this internship doesn't work out, it doesn't really matter because her family is stinking rich and she doesn't really have to work if she doesn't want to. Jessie could just sit around on her big fat trust fund and watch it grow all the while yelling at a whole pack of interns she pays minimum wage to listen to her abusive language and find her eye when she misplaces it.

Uh, whenever I click the hyperlink, the previous NYC Prep is gone. In fact the last episode I don't think anyone got to post. What's going on?? System issues?

This episode has been the best so far.
I think there was a part when Jessie is late for her internship and one of the guys keeps asking for her and is pissed and says "if she doesn't show up now she shouldn't show up at all." (BURN!)
Also, that Devorah (bleck) the dress she wore to the CMV event. She looked like she was going to freaking prom, when in the hell do New Yorkers dress that way?
Psyched for tommorrow's show, Jessie asks the question in all of our minds "Is PC Gay?". Dun Dun Dunnnnnnnn....
BTW, if you look at the picture where PC calls Kat the c-word it almost looks like he's wearing a little bow in his hair. How pretty....

I'm picking up what the recapper is laying down here; fashion is the biggest faux industry I can think of. At least, fashion at the level of Fashion Week. Nobody buys it, nobody wears it, the line won't be available on the racks at Targhetto, so what real use is it, except to give a bunch of insufferable gits the chance to wear sunglasses inside, drape themselves in black, and be photographed?
Oh, and modeling is not a real job. Walking is a means of moving yourself from point A to point B, when those places are not far enough apart to warrent starting up your car. Or climbing aboard your Segway or some shit. Walking is not a job skill.
Also, please make more fun of Jessie's wonky eye. Cause that? Will never get old. :)

I liked Kelli in this episode. Standing up to a guy you like/liked is hard at any age, and she gave me a little woman pride after seeing the look on Sebastard's face (by the way, he could have been a little more tactful; what the hell is "now that I'm done with my first choice, I can settle for you"?).
This was your best recap yet. The whole first page was hilarious. And I agree with NotWithoutMyTV that you should make more jokes about Jessie's eye. Her whole face just looks wrong. I almost feel bad for her. Almost.

I know this will prove I am a total reality tv addict - but did anyone else think Jessie's "boss" from the 1st Charlotte Ronson job was the guy who handled the interns at that real bitchy womans pr firm from "The Fashionista Diaries" on Soapnet? I may have been the only person to watch that show though.
Oh - and PC is one of the most vile human beings I have ever seen with the way he talks to/about people. I will almost feel sorry for him for being a young guy not realizing what he was getting into on tv when he's still trying to figure out his sexuality - & then he talks & I just think he's a douche!

I agree with the other posters about Jessie's face- but then again it's not just hers, it's kinda everyone on this show's face. Most of the kids on this show have something weird looking- almost a deformed look. I don't watch the show- I only read the recaps and catch the commercials occasionally so maybe I'm just seeing unfortunate angles? When I look at that Camilla (can't remember what her exact name was) her face is just kinda huge and doughy looking. I also think it's bizarre how grown up these kids think they are when it seems more like little kids acting how they think adults act.

I get what the posters are saying about Fashion Week, but still I also get those who attend the fashion shows for the "art". It IS a form of expression, but unlike real art it wont decorate anybodies home or office, it'll just be something that was created for shock purpose and then it'll be reworked into more sellable designs.

BTW, I know that you can't post links on this site but there's this really funny video by this person called KCSCougar on youtube that makes fun of the NYC cast. You guys should check it out.

So, it that a "thing" among skanks? Go on cock-tease dates with guys, talk a blue streak about your boyfriend the whole time, then let them fuck you anyway? It certainly seems to be recurrent behavior on Real World enough. Somebody with a Ph.D. in Abnormal Psychology should study this. Might be enlightening.
I also find it amusing that the McJob this season is essentially to party during Spring Break, and one of these children can't even be counted on to do that.

1) Kelli took over this episode and I loved her for putting both boys in their place.
2) I'm starting to see a human side of a couple of these kids, which is nice. Even PC!
3) Devorah, for all her faults, is HOT...and PC not putting a move on her just further confirms his wavering heterosexuality.
And on a side-note, how about some snarky captions to all the pictures, not just an re-statement of what was just said in the paragraph above it. I know I had quite a few comments in my mind when I saw some of those pics.

Jessie is one of the more unfortunate looking girls i have ever seen on TV, including reality. Her bottom jaw is way too big for her face or something. I usually would hold my comments to myself but she is just such a nasty person that i have to say something. How could her parents/mother allow her to expose herself on national tv like this. She is pathetic.

Um, to NotWithoutMyTV, I'm assuming you meant to post on the Real World thread???

Jessie looks like Tanya Harding...ewwwwwww.
Devorah is the editor of the mag who put Bethany on the cover in the Hamptons. She must be 10 years older than PC (and she's got a big Q-tip head). But, to each their own.
Is it me, or do all the brunettes look alike?
13 of 15 | Posted by 2muchBravo | Posted on August 5, 2009 9:19 PM
I agree 2muchBravo it has taken me weeks to figure out who is who. Also, I feel so sorry for these kids sometimes. They think they have it all and yet they really have nothing.
