She's the worst. I think she just has a fake epiphany.
Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Huh. I swear I posted something here, but I don't see it. Anyway.
She just seriously said "velvet rope access."
"I used to do bikini modeling."

I wasn't too crazy about the episode after that one either. With the real estate agent.
It's gotten me to thinking about how I'd like to give Tim's show a makeover. I think I'd rather the show be a true guide to style. Instead of taking clueless people who have nothing in their closets that can be used, I'd like to see people who are maybe halfway there. They have pieces but they don't know how to pull it all together. People who want (note my use of the word "want") to learn how to complete a look, how to accessorize, etc.
ETA: This thought was inspired by the InStyle Magazine segments that they've been doing on the show. Which I usually find to be the most interesting and informative part of most episodes.

And I wish the show would address cost at all. It seems like all the women they've had on so far are pretty well-to-do. They can afford to buy quality clothes.
How do you get by if InStyle isn't around to give you a fab bag?

that's a good market too. A lot of times, I think that they pick them worst cases because it makes the watchers feel better about themselves "well, at least I don't wear that "
A nice segment might be "show Tim your 10 pieces, and he'll show you how to make them fabulous"

Sorry. Tim called her on her attitude, and she was like, "I might not be DESPERATE like some woman in MIDDLE AMERICA because I live in Manhattan and have a RICH HUSBAND so FUCK YOU anyone who doesn't wear GUCCI."
(possibly not a direct quote.)

I KNOW! what a bitch. I was thinking about that this morning as I was trying to get dressed.
I may not have Gucci but at least I don't look like a mutton trying to dress like an 18-year old bikini model. In stretch silver thighhigh boots.

This is a show my mother and I have wanted to see for YEARS. Like normal people, we have a lot of stuff that's fine, some stuff that's really good, some stuff that's really bad. And speaking for myself, I hardly accessorize at all, and I never layer.
I love how Tim and Gretta were like, "Come ON. We're in Neiman-Marcus! Even the less-fancy floor is PRETTY EFFING FANCY."
