Major Wardrobes in Real Life?

gossip girl cast old photo.jpgA teeny sentence in this morning’s WWD confirms a story that was floating around during Fashion Week, and so was subsequently ignored.

Gossip Girl has inspired a reality show.

Bravo - the network behind Project Runway, The Fashion Show and Tim Gunn’s Guide to Style - has started filming a show, which may or may not be called NY Prep, that follows around real-life UES private school kids, to see if anyone really lives a life like Chuck Bass.

Obviously, we’re just curious if anyone actually shows up to 8am geometry with Gisele hair and Celine, but we’ll know soon enough - the show hits small screens everywhere this fall.

Anyone know where this is being shot? I can't imagine any of the good schools (Dalton, Trinity, Spence, etc) are letting cameras in.

#1-My guess is that, like Laguna Beach, they won't actually be filming them in school, but show their lives outside of school.

Well, a "reality" show is not going to let you know whether people actually show up at 8am with Gisele hair -- they know they are being filmed, so of course they are going to show up with it now!

A friend of mine knows some people who were approached about this. They, naturally, declined. I'm still excited to watch this. The Real Housewives of New York always gives me a thrill.
