Stylista: The Weight of the World
And who can blame her? She lives in a house with a bunch of size two and fours and she works in an office populated by people one bout of the flu away from their ideal weight. Even the most confident person would fall under the pressure. And for the record, crying and locking yourself in the bathroom is a sure sign of cracking up. We’re just confused as to why Danielle didn’t take full advantage of the well-stocked closet. If this journey has taught our little fashion plates anything, it’s that accessories can make or break an outfit. D -- score some righteous shoes and uncover a dazzling piece of jewelry. Nicole Kidman wore a basic black dress to last year’s Academy Awards, but that multi-layered diamond necklace taking up her entire upper torso made the ensemble red-carpet worthy.
In a scene straight outta “The Devil Wears Prada,” the contestants flank Anne at her soiree to identify all of the incoming guests. Our remaining six prepared the night before for the challenge by studying the names and faces of everyone on the guest list. Well, some studied. Johanna made flash cards and quizzed herself until the wee hours, while her teammate Kate decided to stuff her face with popcorn and snuggle up in bed. When the moment of truth came, Kate was too busy checking out her lip gloss in the ceiling mirror to notice guests even attended the function and all of Johanna’s preparation failed her, while Team Megan quickly picked up the slack. It was a depressing sight.
Once again, Kate managed to convince Anne of her leadership abilities during the layout of the editorial party page. How does she keep getting away with this? Let’s revert back to her lip gloss comment at the party. All we can say is that she’s an excellent salesman. And how is it that both teams either misspell someone’s name on their page or completely misidentify a party-goer? The teams go back and forth debating on the correct spelling of a makeup artist’s name. Surely they can Google this information in order to refrain from making huge gaffes!
Kate squeaked by, which just irks us more and more each week. Johanna breathed a sigh of relief when Danielle got the boot. We’re disappointed to say goodbye to D, but it would have just broken our hearts to lose Johanna after watching her work so hard and worry so much.
They’re dropping like flies over at Elle. What did you think of this week? At least Megan kept her snotty quips to a minimum.
