Hey everyone!
As some of you may know, I have written a few blogs in the past for ice-dance.com, and for a while now I have wanted to write a blog for me. I didn't want to do a normal blog about my life, but I wanted to write about something light-hearted and fun -- with maybe a few hints of sarcasm ;). I struggled to find the first topic for my blog -- do I want to do one involving skating, relationships, fashion? There were just too many options.. but then the only person who knows I'm writing this blog said, "Why not write about Rachel Zoe?"
Who's this Rachel Zoe you ask?
Well, to be honest with you I had no idea who she was until about a year ago when I stumbled across her show on Bravo...
I will admit, I enjoy some of what Bravo has to offer… Top Chef? Always delicious. The Real Housewives of "blah blah blah"? Oddly addictive (especially the NJ one.. but I may be biased). Project Runway? It has Heidi Klum and Tim Gun -- so there really isn't anything not to like. But unfortunately, like every network, Bravo has a few shows that, well, are just not good.
For instance, The Millionaire Matchmaker is one of them.
I honestly have no idea why we need a show matching Millionaires with "normal" people. They're basically saying, "Since your loads of cash didn't get you a woman, maybe we can find some sort of winning personality trait that no one has seen before." While these people think it's going to work, really the only women who are interested in them are gold diggers.
Then there is the Rachel Zoe Project -- Starring none other than the somewhat crazy, yet famous hollywood stylist, Rachel Zoe.
I'm not going to lie, I liked her show in the beginning. I think this was because I'd take her job in a heartbeat -- It basically would be a dream come true styling Hollywood stars…but then I actually WATCHED the show. Behind all the glitz and glam, there is a woman who just doesn't quite get it. She tends to use words like “amazing” and “bananas”, that she pronounces as if she has turrets - She always wears these outrages outfits of fur and animal print that make it seem like she was stuck inside of Jumanji for quite some time and fashioned clothes out of whatever she could find. In addition to the way she talks and dresses, she's as dumb as a board. I mean, I suppose she's "smart" considering she's successful and rich or whatever, but honestly…she's oblivious to everything not having to do with fashion.
After watching a few episodes I started realizing who Rodger was. I kept thinking he was another one of her assistants… that never did anything? Wait a second, he's at home with her?… Wait a second, they just kissed? Back up. They're married? He's not gay? That was a big shocker. No man wears a scarf the way he does and gets aroused by women.
All in all I would turn to The Rachel Zoe project for some great fashion and a good laugh (and an occasional glimpse of Donatella Versace, AKA the witch who crawled out of a cave). She has everything in a show you could ask for - fashion, an over emotional assistant, closeted gay husband, and constant relationship fights about being a workaholic. While these things combined create an entertaining hour, it wears on you fast, so beware.
To end my blog I'd like to share a few links from youtube that make fun of Rachel Zoe. Watch it, and you'll understand why I dedicated this blog to her. It's ba-na-nas.
Until next time!
Bella
