Erin and Joe Zee are at the Giorgio Armani cafeteria, where they serve Vaseline and Kleenex with a side of lovely olive tapenade. Erin and Joe are talking about some A to Zee (get it? Yeah, it's dumb) fall fashion thingamajig and then proceed to have the Olivia argument for what is already the 1,000th time. Methinks that this is going to happen every episode. Joe once again sticks up for Olivia, and not just because MTV is forcing him to. No, also because Adam DiVello is kneeling behind him with a gun to the back of his head. Erin wonders if Olivia is up to the A to Zee workload, and Joe says that if not, maybe her future's not at Elle. Credits.

This Kleenex is delicious. Now please fire the skank.

Erin explains to Olivia that the A to Zee thing means that they do the A to Zs of fashion, so they need 26 outfits/accessories/blah. Did I mention they're riding in a car? Cuz they are. And not one that they're driving. These bitches don't drive, y'all. Erin goes on to explain that they'll be doing part of it for Access Hollywood. Oh, awesome, so just as the lower-class is finishing up their spaghetti dinners, they can watch Billy Bush show them some clothes and belts they'll never be able to afford. Fierce.

Whit and Roxy are at People's Revolution and Whit tells Roxy that she's brought in some fashion designs to show Kelly, and Roxy's actually impressed by "half" her collection, except for some fabric that feels like "a couch." Whit brings her sketches and swatches in to Kelly, who is also impressed, and gives her some advice, telling Whit that she needs to have about 25-31 sketches/designs for a fashion line. Whit only has 15. Kelly's like, You have some more work to do, so "don't show these to anyone else. You have what it takes and you already know that." Is it just me, or would a compliment from Kelly Cutrone be one of the best compliments ever? Because you know that ho don't bullshit, so it would mean a lot. She then goes, "I'm gonna be your loyal bitch - I'm in your corner." Awwww! That's the Kelly Cutrone equivalent of "I love you."

This look means "I'm buying you a pony."

Olivia and Erin are at Badgley Mischka. I thought these guys were fey Euro-Trash a-holes, but it turns out they're just fey American snobs. I'm sorry, but $400 for sunglasses? How is that ever rational? One of the sunglasses has, hand to god, "inlaid feathers in the temple." And, hand to god, they look like something you get for your niece's birthday at the last minute in Dollar General.

Whit and Roxy meet Whit's friend Samantha (from Bergdorf Goodman), and Roxy is like, Hey Samantha, get your boss to see Whit's sketches! Samantha's all, She's really busy, and I'm sure that I could talk to her about it, but she's really busy, like really busy. Busy! And Whit's like, I don't even know if they're ready. I wonder if Whitney will stand her ground and not give in to Roxy's peer pressure to go behind Kelly's back. I'm sure she won't. Real sure.

At the Roberta Freymann Showroom in the Fashion District of New York City, Olvia arrives to look at more expensive crap. Some of the stuff is pretty . . . but I've seen the exact same stuff in Target. The bags, though, are from $75 to $150, which I think is sort of barely acceptable. I mean, especially if the handles are inlaid with feather. The necklaces go up to $350, which, not so much. Olivia asks about the turn-around, because people need to be able to buy these things as soon as the Access Hollywood thing airs. Huh. That's actually a good question. I bet Erin told her to ask it.

Most fashionable bullet proof vest ever.
