{fashion: so here's the deal...}

Yes, I watch TV. Maybe too much TV, and not quality TV... So be it, reality TV (no, not Survivor) is my guilty pleasure.

I just wanted to say that and get that out of the way so that I can wax poetic about how much I LOVE The Rachel Zoe Project, and how a little kernel of pleasure died when the show had it's finale the other night. Her style is the best, her jewelry is the best, she's funny, and has an incredibly luxurious job. Being immersed in the fashion worl the way she is, is enviable. So, if you watched the finale, "the kit" was the major issue. Here's what is in "the kit", according to Rachel:

"The kit is something that every stylist has. You can't ever, ever, EVER go anywhere without one, even if you're just going to help someone into a dress. The kit has all of the essentials. It's similar to a doctor's bag that they'd travel with to visit a patient's house. It's everything from double-sided tape, foot pads, heel pads, and toe pads to scissors, safety pins, stick pins, lint rollers, sewing kits, baby wipes, and undergarments. Everything imaginable and everything you could ever need goes in the kit. Everything. "

In Rachel's blog she addressed the issue of wearing fur all the time. Here's what she said about her final thoughts on season 1:

"I'm sad to see the season end. I want to thank all the viewers for just being so unbelievably kind. I'd also like to address all the people that are unhappy about me wearing fur. I want them to know that almost 100% of the fur I've worn in the show is vintage fur, not that vintage fur is necessarily any better. But I am addressing the situation, and I will be more respectful, because I think people are very hurt by it, and I understand and respect the opinions of viewers. I'm going to make a tremendous effort not to wear fur. If we have a second season, viewers will not see me in fur. I'll wear faux-fur. I truly respect everyone's opinions and I'm reevaluating the situation. I also want to thank everyone for being so supportive and so kind and for all the kind words. I love everyone for watching. "

Oh, and p.s. I'm obsessed with The Hill's and Gossip Girl, and the upcoming Hill's spinoff, The City (with Whitney). Yay! You'd think I was a 13 year old girl, not the 35 year old I am fighting being!
