Fashionista Rumor #1

elle mexico madonna cover.jpgSo everyone’s in a tizzy over the Daily News’ story today, claiming that the filming of Fashionista’s driving ELLE staffers crazy, and that no one thinks the winning contestant will be given a job.


Weird - we were recently told by someone close to the whole ordeal that the entire show is being filmed in fake offices (so no reason for the people with real jobs to feel like anyone’s getting “under their feet”), and that the winning position is to assist the accessories closet (which, believe it or not, really is a job a million girls would kill for).

Maybe they just mean that staffers are often wrangled away from their desks and into shootings someplace else in town?

Because that would be annoying, though not really real. Surprise!

I've been interning at Elle for a bit now and I've yet to see a camera crew not to mention a lone camcorder, and you'd think if it's produced by ANTM people that it would be a whole herd of girls and cameras hard to miss... the vibe does suggest however that the competition aspect of the show is one big disappointing joke for whoever "wins"

I was in the final running for the show when it was still called "Fashion Wars: Search for the Next Top Fashion Editor" ... but silly me, I'm actually a writer and whatnot. Everyone else in the was in the last handful with me had zero writing experience, but more styling, and now the title and most all of everything has changed.
