I wonder what, exactly, you'd expect an objective source to say about the essence of love. "It's everything except that red rose parfum crap. Man that stuff stinks. Ignore Ashley, it's just the crack talking."

@lafleur: OH no! I was just making that up to make a joke on the insane sizing in the high-end industry! I don't know what sizes really are available. Sorry for confusion....

I'm not sure I like the name of the show. If I were starting my own business, even if it was bankrolled by my dad, I really wouldn't want to be referred to as a "daddy's girl". I mean, when a man starts a business and it's bankrolled by a bank, is he the "bank's boy"? We aren't owned by the people giving us money. Not to mention, they're women, not girls.
And please tell me they actually have a background in fashion? Please? I'm getting tired of experienced people thinking it's all shits and giggles to work in fashion.

@greengrey: I know, the name is unfortunate to say the least.
If my memory bank of useless knowledge serves me correctly, Angela did go to a a fashion-type trade/high school. She interned at Baby Phat and her sister was a model for some time. So it's not all for shits and giggles (my favorite phrase, btw).

I work very close to their "showroom" or "boutique" or whatever you want to call it and the truth is no one is ever there and unless they are filming, which is once every couple months, it is closed with its windows covered. It's not a real business, it's a television show.

Granted, the image they are sending is better than say, Tila Tequila's.

I watched all the episodes of Run's House and all of the first season of Daddy's Girls. I love them both. I love how close they are as a family and how the parents push the kids in the right direction but ultimately, let them make their own choices- good or bad.

Perhaps they should spend less time decorating their new digs and more time addressing the concept of trademark infringement with their design team.

Kimora was abrasive in her show, but I enjoyed it because it highlighted the business side of what she does on a daily basis. Sure, a lot of it was divatude, but she is a POWERFUL woman - and that's hot.
What's interesting though is that Kimora and Angela and Vanessa Simmons are in the same family.

Have you forgotten all the women featured on 'The Apprentice'? Sure we're seen babbling away at clubs talking about nonsense (The Hills), fighting and talking smack (any Housewives show), getting hooked up (Bachelorette), and just whoring our self based on our looks (ANTM). Crap, looking at that we need to bring things into balance with more shows on women getting ahead in the business world by kicking ass and taking name.

@labeled: I refuse to watch anything on MTV and the WB or whatever the hell they're calling themselves now days. It's such a wasteland. I wish they would bring back the MTV that showed videos from start to finish. I need to stop or else that rant will go nonstop.

I understand the interest in business-related reality shows that feature young women, especially women of color. I just wish every time a young woman mentioned starting her own business, it wasn't some fashion line.
I mean, don't we have any other business goals that translate to television? I think focusing on materialism and women's interest in fashion, looks, etc. perpetuates a sense that women can get into business if it's about pretty, shiny things.

I caught a re-run of an older episode this weekend that warmed my Jeze-heart:
The girls were offered a gig to "host" a party from some club promoter and they debated taking the money for a night of being "bad girls" versus how it would affect their image, particularly as spokeswomen for the Girl Scouts of America.
Needless to say, they made the "right" choice.
I know things are scripted and all that, but I was kind of impressed that a more positive message was even making it out there, you know?
Particularly uplifting after all those Sixteen & Pregnant marathons on MTV lately.

But...I thought women only went on T.V. to get married, same reason they go to those big University things.

Sadly, I must boycott this show... one of my dearest friends made it into the top ten on the voting site but did not get on the show, even though she's 50 times more fabulously talented than all those other broads (it's true). Sigh.
