Review: The CW’s Stylista

There was a huge celebration for Obama’s win at work today. People were cheering, crying, hugging - I was totally happy for my American colleagues and friends even though the election results doesn’t really concern me. Well, I work at NYU - it’s an American university! Free lunch for everybody (prolly the most relevant part of the victory celebration for me, haha) - whatever makes the President happy (I mean, our school’s President). Anyway, I finally got around to watch The CW’s Stylista which I blogged about it here. I’ve to say, it was an utter disappointment. I had quite a high expectation for this show but it failed to capture my attention for the slightest bit. The contestants are more annoying than lovable. Anne Slowey… has no charm at all - in fact, she’s kinda boring, and not mean enough. I managed to catch two episodes before closing the chapter. If you’re interested, you can watch it here.

The “Devil” - but no Meryl Streep.

The ‘Breakfast’ challenge. Shaky trays, hurr.

Johanna (far left) looks ultra-chic. I hope she wins, and she speaks Chinese.

That’s the “I can’t speak Chinese” look.

Kate Lanphear. Super chic as usual.

Take my advice: Watch The Rachel Zoe Project instead. I love Rachel Zoe to bits, and you will too. More drama, more fun.

CW’s New Reality TV Show: Stylista

Hot off the press! There’s a hot new reality TV show in town by The CW that is fashionably called, Stylista. Incredibly exciting! As you know Nina Garcia has left Elle magazine for Marie Claire (*yikes*) - and now, look what she’s missing. Brought to you by Tyra Banks, Stylista brings to life the real ‘Devil Wears Prada’ in the Elle office in which eleven fashion enthusiasts battle each other out to win the prized position as assistant to Anne Slowey, Fashion News Editor of Elle.

So why go through the pain and drama? The winner gets a full-time editorial position at Elle, a paid lease on a fabulous apartment in Manhattan (gosh, I want that!) and clothing allowance from H&M - all for one year valued at $100,000. Can’t wait for this show - it sounds crazy already!

Here’s a first look at Stylista. Tell me what you think.
