You know, it's been almost a week since this season of "The Rachel Zoe Project" finished up on Bravo (the season finale was Monday) and it's also been almost a week since Zoe's much-talked-about accessories line finally launched on QVC, which I ... still don't know if I like yet.
I mean ... fur, hugely gaudy accessories and absurd berets all look good on Zoe. But on the mass public? I'm not quite sure. I think the only things I really like her 30-or-so item line are the jewelry pieces like these ...
... and even then, they're kinda meh. Good for her, though, I guess - she does know what the fuck she's talking about. KARL LAGERFELD HIMSELF changed a couture dress based on the woman's suggestion (his Chanel dress on the left, the one that he changed for Cameron Diaz based on Zoe's suggestion on the right).
Let's give respect where its due. Just not our money into her pockets.
Labor Day Weekend kicked my ass (not in a good way), but it did provide me with a few gems that made those three days not so fucking awful:
1. Raekwon's much-anticipated, finally released "Only Built 4 Cuban Linx ... Pt. II" is really, really good. As in, the epicness of first single "House of Flying Daggers" has been stuck in my head for days, good.
2. Demi Moore threatening to sue Perez Hilton. I don't really agree with her and husband Ashton Kutcher's claims that he's a "pornographer" for posting pictures of her 15-year-old daughter Tallulah ...
3. SNL fired two castmates before the new season premieres Sept. 26 - Casey Wilson and Michaela Watkins. Since I can't remember anything the two of them ever did, I'm pretty sure it's safe to assume they weren't funny or at all significant. The only thing that comes to mind with Wilson is that awful cougar talkshow sketch, and with Watkins ... yeah, I got nothing. Also, some Google-ing informed me that Wilson once mocked Christina Hendricks from "Mad Men" ...
... which is like ... blasphemy.
4. The latest episode of "The Rachel Zoe Project" was hyped on Bravo's website with an online tutorial about how to dress like Zoe's styling assistant, Taylor (that's Tay-Tay to you and me, friends). Since I adore her - and her constantly pissed-off expression and total ambivalence toward rubbing shoulders with celebrities day in and day out - this was pretty helpful for my life. I die. Seriously, all I want to do is learn how to master this expression.
It's basically me, but cattier, blonder and with far better clothes.
... and I don't give a fuck about how I never wear sunglasses because of my really shitty eyesight. I NEED these glasses.
Whomever wants to contribute the $350 I would need to buy them, that would be much-appreciated; thanks. These are needed for the betterment of society/aiding in my complete transition to hyper-accessorized hoodrat. I'M NOT KIDDING.

I'm pretty sure I've watched every single show Bravo has put on in the past years, which is a testament to how crass and petty I like my television. If it's got cursing, boobs and stereotypical gay people, I'm in!
Which is why I'm so down with "The Rachel Zoe Project." I like clothes. I like obnoxious spending sprees. I love celebrity gossip. So ... the show, and its recently premiered second season, are all up on my to-do list.
And what I like most about this new season is the photo gallery on Bravo's website with a "What They're Wearing: Get the Look" feature. No, I'm not pressed on it because I have some kind of illogical fantasy about owning a Birkin bag. I just really, really like the Facebook-ready, mugshot-esque photos that are on display. For example:
Brad doing a sassy pose,
Taylor looking unsurprisingly pissed,
Rachel bearing a striking similarity to a succubus.
... and even then, they're kinda meh. Good for her, though, I guess - she does know what the fuck she's talking about. KARL LAGERFELD HIMSELF changed a couture dress based on the woman's suggestion (his Chanel dress on the left, the one that he changed for Cameron Diaz based on Zoe's suggestion on the right).
