This is kind of off topic but did anyone else peep Vanity Fair’s George Wayne pop what he thought was a pill, but was actually a Swaroski Crystal?!!!! Too funny but also kinda sad….if no questions pill popping is really that common (that didn’t look staged to me)….

I really enjoy the show, but I am beginning to think it is just gimmick to better promote her firm. Think about it: you could go to PR firm X or go to People Revolution and they will do everything firm X will do PLUS feature your product/brand on her TV show. They did 10 events, but ONLY talk about 3 of them on the show? Personally, I think the show should be a bit like ’24′, where it shows the chaos of a given day, vs the one-event-an-episode format now.

I am truly sorry that your daughter is getting blamed for the mishaps at PR office. If anything Kelly should be to blame you need to delegate the work to others with respect and of course with full instruction. I find it obscene that they are portraying all the office mistakes on Stephanie, she is 23 yrs old and its her first year there. Are you kidding me? Kelly is the boss she needs to higher an office manager to help with the insanity between all the coworkers and interns. I hope Stephanie’s Mom you can help people understand the truth because people like to believe everything they see on “reality” tv as truth. I do find the show fun when they are showing the side of fashion and not the interoffice fighting. I will continue to watch the show, but I will keep in open mind when it comes to the editing.

I am a member of the purse blog and also Stephanie’s V.s mother. It is hard for me to read such horrifying comments about my beautiful 23 year old daughter. She had only one year of experience before walking into Peoples Revolution in July 2009. She graduated from college with high honors as a business (finance) major. Like a lot of young women, she wanted to live the fashion dream in NYC. Instead, it has been a fashion nightmare. I hope that she is able to warn others young women like herself about the abuses that are embedded in the industry. Its kind of like the sweat shops of a prior era.

I would think that no one would write on a bag sloppily (and silly typos) like we were shown without it being staged a bit. That makes sense

The irony is that if was a regular tv show, viewers would know they were playing a part. Re the stamps/ bags and other mishaps: Regular work is pretty boring tv, so producers aren’t above spicing things up with a little sabotage. I think the interns were told to do the bags that way. Unlike other years, where 20 unpaid people worked in the PR sweatshop to improve their odds of getting a pub relations job, a lot of these kids probably just wanted to be on tv, and would do anything to get airtime. Although PR is likely pretty disorganized, KC is destroying her business in hopes of becoming a tv star. It’s certainly closer to real life than scripted shows like Hills and CIty, it’s still just entertainment.

I’m so glad that someone pointed out that dumb Stefani is not that dumb. The so-called smart Stefanie seems to enjoy playing the martyr role and as soon as I saw the first episode, I knew she was going to have a “breakdown” and cry on the next one. She seems to kiss up to the people Kelly favors (Andrew and the senior team) and for some reason wants to call out the other Stefani when she makes a mistake. Remember Andrew made a seating chart last week which included people that weren’t even invited to the show in the first place! And “smart Stefani” was cool with that and even helped him fix that problem.
Kelly seems smart but this is not a well run business. Too much yelling, cursing and never any real explaining. I think it makes the fashion world look unprofesional. After viewing the show, I’m not sure if I’d pick People’s Revolution to run my show if I were a designer. Kelly isnt doing brain surgery, she can surely do it in a more proffesional manner.

That show is so boring that I probably won’t be watching it anymore. And as for Stephanie V, I never even thought that she was a Californian. And as for her “having” to be from Southern, California as in “la-la-land”, as the Northern Californian called us down here in L.A., well, I find that ridiculous. I know that there has always been a rip between the north and south, and I’m in my 50s, but we’re pretty fed up with the northern Cal superiority attitude.

Me too. We all know editing can and will portray ‘characters’ as they see fit. But if I was the one that got the “not a good worker” label and it was not the case – I would be really pissed!

I agree regarding Kelly in her mom role! It makes me feel like wow, you can make it out there as a single mom, you may have to kick yourself in the ass 24/7 but its doable. Love the show so far, and I love her assistant, makes the show that much more interesting.
