If Rachel Zoe starts a cult, would her followers, "literally die!"? That would be bananas.

I haven't watched in awhile, but I always felt more sympathy for Taylor than Rachel. Taylor was sometimes way too snippy, but I think a lot of that had to do with what a crappy boss Rachel is. When she hired Brad to help Taylor, she refused to clearly delineate tasks for Brad or any kind of hierarchy. Which would be fine if Rachel was able to delegate fairly, instead of being so intent on being friends with her employees. The conflict over the Paris trip never should have happened, either Rachel should have taken the most senior or based it on what work was needed in LA. It shouldn't have been a test to see who was the most selfless. I was hoping for Taylor to quit and move on to a less drama filled job. #taylorleavesrachelzoe

Taylor seems insufferable...but very good at her job. But from how the Hollywood styling career looks, I can't see one doesn't become insufferable. Brad is a bit too casual and Rachel is a bit too dependent on others. I can see why Taylor loses it, but she appears (via an edited TV show) to do it all the time. But you know, maybe it was working for Zoe that made her so pissy. I would be mad if I were a talented stylist and I spent most of my time unpacking boxes and hanging clothes on racks while my boss galavanted around France going to the Chanel show. #taylorleavesrachelzoe

@JinxyMcDeath: Yeah, and to work for someone so non-confrontational would be a struggle for me. She always bitched about that, but I wonder if it wasn't working for Zoe's husband who probably didn't have a problem with confrontation that resulted in termination. #taylorleavesrachelzoe

I have literally never seen anyone be as openly rude and disrespectful to their boss as Taylor on the Rachel Zoe Project. I hope she's at least nicer to her own clients. Also, I like her hair. Good luck Taylor! You are so unpleasant! #taylorleavesrachelzoe

@HereComesMyBaby: Have you SEEN the show? I would say I have definitely literally never seen someone be that rude to their boss without the boss getting angry or there being consequences. Rachel seems to endure Taylor's attitude without ever reprimanding her. She just has a totally toxic personality. #taylorleavesrachelzoe

When I was Taylor's age I hated my job and complained about it constantly to anyone that would listen, except of course my boss.
A friend gave me a great piece of advice that I would love to give to Tay-Tay now. Either quit or shut up! Its exhausting!

Also, its around this age that one should really realize that a lot of work is shitty little details that everyone thinks they are too good to do. Guess what, it has to get done. Just because you want to be a big boss doesnt mean the jobs can get done without things like unpacking the boxes.

@didntmeanto: I would also agree that at this age I too was verbally shitting all over the damn place about my boring job, a job that, now that I'm unemployed in the recession and have had to go through several absolutely horendous career choices, I would gladly take again. You don't appreciate the lushness of that earliest work, and really, why should you when you have very little to compare it to? But sometimes I look at Taylor, and I think about what the world will be like five or ten years from now, and I think about myself, and I'd just like to say, "I understand why you're bitter and jaded and I think you're a great person and do good work, but please shut the hell up." I think like all of us she'll probably figure this out the hard way though.

I also love how she summons her parents to do her job for her and then stands and watches them work.

As a fellow overcritical, perfectionist Virgo, I can totally relate to Rachel. Especially her desire to control too much of the business. I kept waiting for the moment when she would realize she has to let go, or run herself ragged. I am so glad Rodger stepped in and said NO. BAD. HEALTH. GOOD.

@shefightsback: I was never a horoscope person, but what you say is indicative of this virgo as well, and it took me until well into adulthood to learn that sometimes I need to have others help me, and to let go of the details. Missing the forest for the trees was not how I wanted to spend the rest of my years.

To be fair to her, as someone who has it, I don't think vertigo is at all a symptom of an ED or caused by not eating enough. And I'm sure it's for the benefit of the cameras, or maybe our doctors have different styles, but there's kinda more steps before being confronted to totally restructure your life. Huh? There's exercises to do, studies to be done on you, etc, to learn more about what's going on for sure. Now she may have previously had issues with not eating enough, but at least for me it's always really, really hard to eat when I'm having a spell of it. And of course it's going to make you weaker and sicker, but when I have it, I literally (heh heh) have to lay down with my head in one specific position, eyes open, to avoid having to go run and puke. Don't want to move to go get food, and when you're insanely nauseous do you ever want to eat? Not really. I sympathize with Zoe on this, as someone whose body looks absolutely nothing like hers, so I don't like it when people automatically assume that some sort of ED/poor eating habits is causing or worsening her condition.

@annebreal: I thought she might have had Ménière's disease, which is an inner ear vertigo disorder. A sodium imbalance makes this worse (for most people, it's too much sodium).

@Trulymadlyme: Oh totally possible, I think there's loads of kinds? Mine isn't just called vertigo, although it's not that either. I didn't want to come against a doctor (who you have to think staged this part of her consultation for cameras, and was more thorough with Rachel privately...at least I hope) but the "Rachel Overdoes Everything Except Eating" made me somewhat irrationally want to rise to her defense. And I know a couple episodes back comments were speculating that vertigo might be a symptom of an ED.

@annebreal: I suspect RZ has something called Meniere's Disease which I've had bouts of in the past. You're already sick then the nausea and dizziness causes you to eat less which only makes it worse.

We can make jokes about "stress" with celebs but if I had to deal with a tenth of what RZ does I would drop 20 pounds in a snap without even noticing. It's not always an ED.

@Tiger Lourdes: Zombie Hunter: Ditto! You owe me a coke!

But yes, if she has Miniere's and she has a sodium imbalance (possibly due to not eating the right things) she is going to be suffering from some severe symptoms. I'd believe that before thinking she has an ED since Miniere's is also extremely stress related.
