Stylista
WEDNESDAY 9:00-10:00 P.M.
"If "The Devil Wears Prada" were a reality show, it would be STYLISTA. Eleven aspiring fashion enthusiasts vie for a much-coveted editorial job with Elle magazine. They work as assistants to Elle's Fashion News Director, Anne Slowey, a demanding but well-respected fashion icon. The competitors will carry out an assistant task and a fashion editorial assignment in each episode. Each week, in consultation with Elle's Creative Director, Joe Zee, Anne fires one person, until the last assistant standing gets "promoted" to the coveted real-life job opportunity. The grand prize includes a paid editorial position at Elle magazine, a paid lease on a great apartment in Manhattan, and a clothing allowance at H&M, all for one year, valued at $100,000. STYLISTA is from 10 by 10 Entertainment, Inc. and Bankable Incorporated in association with Magic Molehill Productions, Inc. and Warner Horizon Television Inc. with executive producers Tyra Banks, Ken Mok, Eli Holzman, Desiree Gruber and Jane Cha."
Yes, that really is Anne Slowey airbrushed to within an inch of her life in that promo pic. Judging by the clips from the show, she...uh, changed her look a bit since her early days of tooty and hairballs on Project Runway:
Now, we'll grant you, this doesn't look like it's ever going to replace Project Runway in our hearts as THE fashion reality show, but there's a thrilling sort of trainwreck vibe we get off of these clips as Anne tries desperately to channel Meryl Streep and scare the shit out of her new
"Time's up. Trays down. Anne's here." How can you not love that a little bit?

Oooo, this will either be delight or disaster. Yeah, Anne looks, um, well, uhhhh. Hmmmmmm
Can't wait!!!
OHMYGOD I am so watching this show. If it's great, awesome, if it's a trainwreck even better, more stuff for TLo to blog about.
Hahahaha. I recognized the voice and that's it. The woman was digitally transformed.
I want to love it, I do, cuz I love the movie.....but it's too reminiscent (sp?) of The Apprentice.....different industry, different scary boss, but basically the same, no?
NO ONE can be Meryl Streep - she frickin MADE that movie. She was so fabulous yet so scary yet still more fabulous that you just WANT to work for her, even as FRIGHTENED as you were....I just can't see Anne whatshername pull off the same aura.
BUT - will check it out to see if it will stack up to the hype =)
I'm worried about all the "Ugly Betty" references that will be made about Danielle.
Slowey is so "changed" that she almost looks like Kate Winslet. I didn't recognize her.
Y'know I was hoping that Anne would NOT replace Nina on PR because then I would have to endure the hideous cobweb of "hair" each week. And now this.
Seriously, how can you work around that much Fashion and look like that? I'm sure I'll watch the show, though, just praying that she'll get a serious makeover first & not just a digital makeover in photos....

LOL. She does. Well, she finally got her own show. I wonder how Nina feels about all this.

I don't mean to be cruel and I actually feel sorry for her, but you know she won't last long. In the real world there ain't no "Ugly Betty" in the fashion industry.
I'm a sucker for any show about fashion. I'll just throw that one on the pile : )
How did I not know about this? I would've auditioned! DAMN SLOWEY!
It's a little too "Apprentice" for my taste. I'll probably give it a pass.
could be good...
but more importantly, did you see the PR promo during Top Chef last night? July really isn't far away at all!!
Talk about Jacob Marley's ghost entering the room -- between the clanking of jewelry, the 'tude and the waaaaaay too high heels (on all of the women) -- my tray would be shaking too.
Annie get your gun! I want the name of her plastic surgeon, dermatologist and make-up artist. She can keep the hairstylist -- too Madonna-esque and thus lacking individuality. Shame on Anne -- polish the look with better hair you spent enough money on everything else (unless you promised to plug, excuse me 'mention', several highly ranked MDs).
GT"S Sis -- forgot my password again.
"Tlo said: Yes, that really is Anne Slowey airbrushed to within an inch of her life in that promo pic."
Thank you. I was just going to ask.
But I did time at Hachette Filipachi, and can tell you that most of the value in that 100K prize is in the free apartment lease. But competing for the 'prize' of working there is like competing for the 'prize' of working for The Donald. Not such a prize in the end.
Might be a fun show though.
--GothamTomato
omg -- Anne's a real bitch!
yuck!
I love that Anne's opening dialogue is, "You must express your taste and style in everything you do."
It would have been much more effective if she hadn't just walked across that floor like a linebacker with an inner-thigh rash.
Ouch! She looks like a drag queen in a tired Madonna get-up. That hair! get her over to Shear Genius immediately.
Can't wait to meet the contestants. Who's the chica with the tray in the too short dress and the silly 'tap recital' hat?
By the way she is walking in those way-too-high heels and that get-up, Anne has a something wedged in her tootie.

LMAO!!!!!
She looked like Dudley Moore imitating the old butler in "Arthur"!
Surgery, much?
This is going to be catty, so I'm definitely going to catch it.
TLo, your opener, "THE DEVIL WEARS TOOTY"?
PRICE. LESS.
Bill is right (as usual). She looks like a drag queen.
I just keep thinking that this show cannot possibly be good for her career.Maybe she should ask herself "What would Anna (Wintour) do?" because I doubt this would be it.
Nina got very lucky with PR. Most of these reality & contest shows are pure crap.
I don't mind it when people get a bit of work done on their face, but when they insist on clinging to some hairstyle that they've been hauling around since their first fuck on a dorm room bed, that's when it gets sad. Anne's botoxed brow doesn't really help her appearance that much. Her hairstyle is very unflattering --especially since she's got some natural aging going on in the form of jowls.
Oh! I'm so HAPPY that the two of you will have another show to pick on! I look forward to your snarkiness applied to "Stylista."
This trainwreck sounds remarkably similar to another trainwreck I watched on TV last summer called, "FASHIONISTA," (on ABC's "Soap" network). Similar premise, same city, different characters. Anyone else watch?
This show actually sounds like it will have some amazing entertainment/bitchery value. I have to agree with gothamtomato re: the prize. Knowing what I've learned over the years about the industry and what "assistants" are subjected to doesn't seem nearly as rewarding and awesome as the NYC apartment.
- edina -
Looks like Annie as the same surgeon as Madge. It also looks like she is playing a character and she isn't a very good actress.
I can't imagine why anyone would be afraid of her because she she seems to have such a low self esteem.
My prediction for the first "Auf" is the boob job, and then in desending order all the rest of the good looking girls. Ugly Betty probably has the best chance of a the females. I can't say about the guys, except one of them looked like he was suppressing a laugh, when Anne was trying to be all scary. It would be pretty funny if the contestants start mocking her behind her back (or even to her face).
I know it's so not about this and that this so ISN'T the point, but why are we celebrating bosses who treat people horribly? Gimme a break.

So true, SS. And I think what's going to be even funnier is how she'll be mocked on this board.
I have a feeling that this blog is a secret obsession with people like Anne. She probably hits the refresh button fifteen times an hour.
What network is this show on? I've never heard of it.

Perhaps the name of her auto body shop might be more useful: Anne looks like she's been slathered with Bondo dent filler, sanded down, and sprayed with flesh colored lacquer. Think life size Barbie.
So I wonder what the competitions will be? Getting hot Starbucks after the closest shop has closed? Dodging tourists while racing among Hermes, Gucci and Chanel in five inch heels? Getting Lagerfeld on the phone for Anne using only directory assistance?
This new show could be so cheesy that it will be addictive.
Yeah, that painting of Anne is nice.
I love H&M but I don't remember seeing much of it in The Devil Wears Prada.
tom in kc said...
It would have been much more effective if she hadn't just walked across that floor like a linebacker with an inner-thigh rash.
Seriously, I love the way she clomped across the floor. Trainwrecktastic.
Anne Slowey looks WAY pretentious...
H&M seriously? Are you allowed to wear H&M and work in fashion?
I CANT WAIT!!!!!!!!!!
Self-correction underway ---
The similar show I made reference to (from ABC's Soap network) was "FASHIONISTA DIARIES."
Dreadful, awful, badly cast, fake, etc....all the things I hope & dream STYLISTA will be!
ETA:
stubenville,
Your post was hilarious. Especially loved the challenge idea for contacting Karl Lagerfeld.
OMG, with a walk like that, Miss Anne would have been fired by the late, great D.V. in half a heartbeat.
the guy in the red and black, didn't he try out for Make Me A Supermodel?
I don't know if I can take Anne for more than a couple minutes. The premise is deliciously evil, but Anne? ANNE? I just don't know.
"tom in kc said...

ROFLMAO. I can't stop laughing. I noticed that right away.
I can't wait!!! Is she going to make them run like a headless chicken all over Manhattan doing shit? I love it already.
OMG! A Clydesdale! Um, Miss Tootie, learn to walk in heels or don't wear them! Hilarious! Those contestants should turn it around and start laughing the moment that unpleasant hag clomps in.
It doesn't look like Anne can walk in those heels very well.
It also doesn't seem like she can deliver lines.
Ew. This looks horrid.
It must suck to be Anne Slowey. Seriously. She's always one step behind whoever did it first and better. And now we also know it's a clunky, clompy step behind as well.
Methinks I'll be watching two episodes of this, but, as with Tim Gunn Guide, Version 1.0, it'll just get too painful to continue watching.

"OMG, with a walk like that, Miss Anne would have been fired by the late, great D.V. in half a heartbeat."
Honey, with that hair, security wouldn't have even let her in the door....
Nevertheless, her stride is just as wooden as her acting.
To be truly fearsome, she'd seem super nice, and THEN start in with all the crazy sh*t.... I mean this IS the same woman who gave us the "dowdy & vulgar" critique and published proof of her obsession about the size of her ass.
I feel sorry for the contestants already. Not because of what Anne may or may not have them do, but because they end up as fodder in a glossy mags desperate gasp to be relevant....
But hey, keep the snark about Ms. Tooty coming - LOVE IT! I wonder how much post-production work had to be done for all that airbrushing?
Oh my god it looks awful! When does it start? I cannot wait!!!
LOL. She walks like a freaking duck in those shoes. I'm sorry, but I can't take seriously a fashion editor who can't walk in heels.
By the way, love love love her Christian Louboutin shoes. Bitch! She doesn't deserve them.
oooohhh!! all of the tinkling glasses, shaking in nervousness...How can this NOT be fun???
oh, I know!!: It might not be fun it the "devil" is an unfabulous poser, putting on her fussiest (and still shaky) voice and declaring her own (questionable) fabulosity!!
Where is NINA when you need her... or even the DUCHESS, now that'd be good TV.
Thanks, kittens!
-Robin
Meh. I’ll take the Cordelia-ness of PR (“This is my work, I hope you like it”) over what I can only assume will be the Goneril&Regan-esque asskissing that will be Stylista any day.
Off topic, but did anyone see that the new PR starts in July?
I know this is kind of old news, but I never heard an official date.
Glad they aren't waiting until later to start a new season.
Still fearing season 6 though :/

OMG-what a dead on description!
JMHO, but Anne looks a bit scary...
"I have no idea of how many more days of this kind of torture, essentially, I can handle... but I'm gonna try."
I love it! Welcome to the real fashion world, poodles! Are those heels just too high for Anne Slowey to walk in? It's kind of embarrassing. Oh, did I mention that I worship her YSL star necklace? The sound of trembling trays was actually quite disturbing. Hahahaha. By the way, don't they know she doesn't eat solid food?
CHC said...
The sound of trembling trays was actually quite disturbing. Hahahaha. By the way, don't they know she doesn't eat solid food? piled those trays way too high.
I was thinking that too. A tray with crystal box of ex-lax and a silver tongue depressor would win.
An apartment in Manhattan, a salary and a clothing budget... for one year... valued at only 100 grand?
She definitely needs a podiatrist - one can only imagine the state her feet are in.
And I think I last saw hair that bad on Mae West circa Myra Breckinridge
(and let's try this again without the egregious typo...)
It's worth it for the apartment alone.
Oh no. You two are going to make me watch Anne Slowey. I don't want to, but I will.
Heck, if you two were blogging about some cooking, parenting, tattooing, dog grooming, etc. show, I'd still probably follow along! You've turned me into a lemming!
Love ya!
Count me out, I'm afraid. Anne Slowey and 20somethings? uh uh.
TLo, please don't abandon us to Project Runway without your commentary!!!
Do you think the slaves will start calling her "Mistress Anne"?
I see an Anne Rampling novel in this.
PS: All you bitches are HILARIOUS!
I choose Chubbette for the final 3.
I. CAN'T. WAIT.
"A million girls would kill for this job."
"The details of your incompetence do not interest me. Tell Simone I'm not going to approve that girl that she sent me for the Brazilian layout. I asked for clean, athletic, smiling; she sent me dirty, tired and paunchy. And RSVP yes to Michael Kors' party, I want the driver to drop me off at 9:30 and pick me up at 9:45 sharp. Then call Natalie at Glorious Foods and tell her no, for the 40th time, no, I don't want dacquoise, I want tortes filled with warm rhubarb compote. Then call my ex-husband and remind him that the parent/teacher conference at Dalton tonight. Then call my husband. Ask him to please meet me for dinner at that place I went to with Mossimo. Also, tell Richard I saw all the pictures that he sent for that feature on the female paratroopers and they're all so deeply unattractive. Is it impossible to find a lovely, slender, female paratrooper? Am I reaching for the stars here? Not really. Also I need to see all the things that Nigel has pulled for Gwyneth's second cover try. I wonder if she's lost any of that weight yet."
I love fashion : - )
"honesty.not.pc said...

She really can't. I'm surprised. She should've practiced for a few days. It's quite distracting.
"Carol said...
I want to love it, I do, cuz I love the movie.....but it's too reminiscent (sp?)"
I don't get when people write "(sp?)" Can't you just google the freaking word?
Anne looks and acts exactly like Madonna when she guest starred on Will and Grace!
Does Annie's hair stylist not know "taste and style"?
However, the show looks deliciously tacky, and I can't wait to watch!!!
----StkrShock
"gorgeous things said: Yeah, Anne looks, um, well, uhhhh. Hmmmmmm"
She looks like she should be wearing a Dalmation puppy coat.
--GothamTomato
I just watched the clip, and Yikes!
Walking across the floor in those shoes, she sounds like a Clydesdale pulling a beer truck.
--GothamTomato
Oh, no, I don't get CW, whatever that is.
And Slowey is so creepy for trying to look like a girl, at such an advanced age.
Eek! Someone forgot to tell Anne to copy the Prada Meryl, and not the Death Becomes Her Meryl.
This show is soooo going to tank.
First, Slowey clomping down the hallway in those clodhoppers sounded like Godzilla stomping on Tokyo...leadfoot much, Anne?
Second, I couldn't stop laughing just looking at her face; what the hell did she do to it? And that hands-on-the-hip, don't-f%#$k-with-me-fellas routine makes her look and sound like a low budget Joan Crawford. And the "scared" assistants with shaking breakfast trays? Mmm...sorry, ladies and gents...the tryouts for "The Office" are down the hall!
This show isn't just heading for the toilet, it has already been flushed.
Looks like the contestants' first task should have been to teach Anne how to walk in those shoes. I LOVED that we first saw her clomping along and then in the next scene got to hear it. I'm sure there's a trick to wearing high, platform heels but obviously instructions don't come in the box.
And how can she be a fashion editor (or whatever the heck her title is) when she doesn't seem to wear clothes well. That outfit either needs to fit better or she needs to stand up straighter or both.
As for the show, I may watch once for camp value but that may be the limit for me.
Anne could not be anymore wrong believing that the sense (money and habit of reading fashion magazines) to adopt (wear) current trends is some artistic indication. The people who design the clothes are the ones who show creativity. She's such a poser -- like Madonna!!!
Ugh, I'll pass on this disaster. Can't stand Anne Slowey.
This look pretty ghastly. Honesty, is that clip really supposed to be a 'highlight'? The whole Miranda Priestly vignette was excruciating to watch. Every wobbley clop made me wince.
Who on earth would humiliate themselves on TV trying to be "Americas-next top continental breakfast assembler'?
tokyodoll:
That was bloody brill! Thanks for the glimpse of things to come.
And like you've already posted ---
I. CAN'T. WAIT. either!
- edina -
this sounds like it's going to be a hilarious show -- of course the real entertainment is going to happen the next morning when we get to read tlo's snarky, biting commentary and all of the reader comments to follow -- i can't wait! gotta watch it!
you go, boys!
Anne..... (Paraphrasing someone who IS worth watching)
"did you fall down and smack your little head on the pavement"
&
"It's not wonderful yet"
&
"It's dull"
&
"no, we did that 2 years ago"
&
"please bore someone else with your TV show"
&
"It's baffling to me, why is it so difficult to put together a decent TV show, you people have had months and months to prepare"
&
"Just imagine what they're going to write about you"
&
"another disappointment, another let down"
&, finally
"that's all"

Bravo, darling! Hilariousy fabulous!!
I can't stand her. She was so mean to Emmett and Wendy. And people think Nina is a bitch?
I'm dying to find out what the challenges will be.
I can tell that I'm going to be laughing a lot watching this show.
Remember when she talked about her ass?:
"I'm getting into that Lanvin skirt, even if it means I can't bend at the waist and need two goons hauling me around by the arms around like a rusted Tin Man. To hell with my repressed ass, it's Lanvin or bust."
This bitch is crazy.
Carinutah: Seriously, how can you work around that much Fashion and look like that?
Easy. "Do as I say, not as I do."
But that picture... yikes. Mommy, now I'm scared of the dark. Anne might be hiding in the shadows!
Can't wait to see the TLo treatment. Trainwrecks can be entertaining on their own. (That's the only reason I sat through three episodes of "Hey Paula.")
LA grannyhair! It's that "too long for a 42yo Hollywood housewife" hair that they all have. Shitastic!
I say all the vidoes and I cringed. She is trying so hard to be 'Diva' and it comes off like a bad 5th grade play. I could be more Diva than her on a bad day.
Oh, but I will still watch and mock. And I look forward to seeing it get universally slammed. I sorta hate Elle magazine now.
this
first of all I am blown away with this clip. This is pathetic. I know Anne Slowey. this is such a fake show, starting with the fact that Anne Slowey is miles away from a "fashion icon". She is an overweight alcoholic living alone in a rat's nest in Stuyventstown, bragging about stealing clothes from the ELLE closet. Somebody start by instructing this woman how to walk in high heels before doing it on camera. Speaking about having "Style" being part of everything you do should start with her. She is an unmade bed most of the time and wreaks from alcohol. The more I think about it I think we should all go rent Whatever Happened to Baby Jane with Betty Davis - I think she's a dead ringer!

A la Death Becomes Her! Loved that movie - maybe Anne took the potion?
I find it very ironic that all those goons are standing there with tea trays in front of a sign that says "intelligence".
And more so that it's right where Anne and can see it. She probably just likes the way the letters look together.
BrianB
isn't this the woman who had the fashion week "food" blog, and ate only half a lettuce leaf and some speed all week?
why does she look so awful?
does she know the cold bitch routine makes her look pathetic?
and i have to say: why is that kind of persona attractive to anyone? who'd want to work for a raging bitch, even one people somehow think is a "style icon"? the job title seems to be "bootlicker/whippingboy" - who aspires to that??
yeah, train wreck show, etc etc and it has some weird appeal, but I really don't need to see some pretentious woman throwing her power and bitchiness around. I can just go to work and see that.
i'm really souring on "nastiness" as a draw for entertainment, maybe because i've been running into a lot of it in real life. i like bitchy drama (a la Andrae's nervous breakdown), but plain old self-important nastiness? nah.
I like Danielle. I'm rooting for her.
The girl with the big boobs is gorgeous. She could be a model.
The girl was CRYING because Anne Slowey didn't like her outfit? How does she expect to survive A DAY in the fashion industry whining like that?
I like your glasses????? LOLOLOLOLOLOL That's code for you're fat and I have nothing nice to say about you right now.
she's totally pulling a miranda right? Kinda lame, but i actually love it. i think this is her move to mark her position in the industry since Nina left Elle.
I love how she can’t walk in heels for shit. Nothing looks worse than a woman who can't walk in heels. She looks awkward, uncomfortable and has terrible posture. I know that many women can't walk in heels at all, they sort of wobble, but isn't that like a requirement in the fashion industry?
A REAL challenge for this show would be to make the contestants work at Elle on an assistant-level salary and at the same time, attempt to afford a NYC apartment and a designer wardrobe. No sugar-daddies or trust funds allowed.

That could be said about any reality show competition, including Project Runway. Not a bad idea, but it wouldn't make good TV, would it?
Aside from the train wreck factor (and oh, yeah, I'll be watching for that!), I'm concerned. The CW has not promoted this AT ALL. At least not in the most promotable forum--during commercials for America's Next Top Model. I've watched ANTM all season, and even with the finale this past Wednesday, no promo of Stylista. Why be concerned? Bankable Productions is Tyra's BABY, folks! If they won't promo a Tyra Banks produced show during her OTHER show, what does that mean for the support?
Hmpt.
cb said...
I really don't need to see some pretentious woman throwing her power and bitchiness around. I can just go to work and see that.
But CB - it's all so staged - like TV wrestling; Anne is playing Miranda and I bet most of the contestants chosen have some small flaw. A flaw which would be meaningless in any other industry, but which Anne can exploit to demean the troops. I just hope someone turns around and lets her have it back - "Yea? Well at least I don't sound like a Clydesdale when I walk across the room in heels."
The show will be a blast if the producers give us a lot of juicy asides from the contestants with their real opinions of Ms. Tootie. And I can't wait for the commentary here the next day!
So Anne Slowey and her clompy, Shandi from season 2 of ANTM walk is mockable and all, but I'm outright disappointed by the contestants on this show. I mean, it's a show about the fashion industry and the contestants are, for the most part, bland sorority girls you could see on any reality TV show. Couldn't the casting crew have put a little more effort into it? The cute short black guy in the khaki jacket, and the girl with the architectural hair (there's a shot of her at the 33 mark of the first video) look like they belong in the Elle offices, and maaaaybe the Clockwork Orange guy (although I think he's trying too hard), but everyone else literally looks like someone they picked off the street. Why do these people want to be in the fashion industry if they clearly no nothing about fashion?
Whoah, I thought this was one of your terrific jokes...you mean it's REAL? I'm in!

Silly me; I thought he was a moonlighting mime without the pancake makeup.
Oy vey! I'm sorry, but I think she looks like an expensive prostitute.
Wait a minute. A salary, an apartment lease and a clothing allowance valued at 100k?
Does that add up? what can you get an apartment for in New York?
The cinematographer from "Mame" called. He wants his Vaseline-smeared camera lenses back.
Wow! I thought Slowey would know how to carry herself in a pair of heels... she was clunking her way from her limo to the office. Not classy.
"anon said: Does that add up? what can you get an apartment for in New York?"
Small studio apartments start at just under 2K a month and go up (steeply) from there.

this looks f-ing stupid. its like the producers forced her into some kind of donald trump/miranda priestly hybrid and the result is a drag queen that can't even walk in heels.
Ok, I might just watch one episode to see how this travesty works, but anything with Tyra's sweaty little hands involved in it has to suck HARD.
