"Who's Next?"
It's still Fashion Week and People's Revolution is going crazy! We ended last week's episode with Stephanie (from now on, she's Stephanie S. is Stephanie or Steph and Stephanie Voorhis is Voorhis) having a nervous breakdown because the computer system was down and the Chado Ralph Rucci people needed the seating chart and RSVP list ASAP. Everyone is scrambling and handwriting in the seating chart to fill in what isn't getting printed. Steph walks up with her laptop and says that she's going to cry and Kelly sets her straight. She tells her not to cry and stay focused. Robyn and Stephanie go get ready and head to the show. We are two hours from showtime, so Kelly is racing to get it done.
Kelly arrives at the show and she meets up with Ralph Rucci and tells him that everything is under control. You can't let your client know the clusterfuck that's happening behind the scenes. He needs to know that it's all going to be ok and everything is good. She eases his mind and it's all good.
Kelly is handling the press backstage before the show. Out front, Emily and Robyn are taking care of all the check ins and seat assignments with Stephanie. Ralph Rucci starts freaking out that there is too much press backstage for first looks. So Kelly gets in full publicist mode and starts kicking everyone out. She knows that after the show, Ralph will bitch that there are enough pics from backstage before the event, so she has a couple of photogs stick around and take some pics. She just makes sure they don't crowd his highness.
The front of the house still looks like a total mess. There are tons of people just cluttering the entrance. To further complicate matters, there are a lot of crashers trying to get in to the show and they're all crowding the entrance. Kelly goes out on the floor to regulate. She starts kicking out people from the front row who don't actually have seats in the front row. They tell Kelly that Rosina Rucci told them to sit there and Rosina totally denies it. Kelly says she's sorry to one man and he snarks back "You should be sorry." Oh no he di'in't. It's a total madhouse. At the entrance, in the tent. OMG. People are just crashing left and right.
Emily realizes that the mad crowd at the entrance is all people without invites. She closes up and goes inside and tells Kelly that they're ready. Kelly kicks out a few more people who were taking seats that didn't belong to them. And the show begins...It's a huge success. Everyone is happy, especially everyone at People's Revolution. They are all so excited that it's OVER!! Show from hell!
Rosina Rucci comes to Kelly after the show and tells her that there were a lot of unhappy people at the show. Kelly waves the cameras to not film this part. I bet Kelly told Rosina that those people sucked and didn't matter, so they should just STFU and be happy that they were even there.
Two hours after the show, the PR team is having dinner. They rehash the evening's events. Kelly tells them that Chado Ralph Rucci is a really important brand for them. But, shit happens. The mistakes that happened were out of their control. What are you going to do?
Two days after the Chado show, Kelly is on the phone with Rosina Rucci, Chado's Director of Publicity. Ralph Rucci is still pissed about the seating debacle. Kelly tells her that he's getting great reviews and she can't understand what his problem is. Basically, Ralph Rucci is pissed and thinks the seating arrangement issues were to blame for Women's Wear Daily putting Diane Von Furstenberg on the cover instead of him. Get over yourself. Kelly ends up telling Rosina that she takes responsibility for the computer problem, but he had a great show and if he needs to take it out on Kelly, so be it. Give her the final check and see ya! Rosina: You're fired!
Kelly goes upstairs to check in on Ava. Ava is having a playdate and they are going through her closet to pick out some back to school looks. Ava is really cute.
Ralph Rucci sucked and getting fired suck BUT, the show must go on. Next up is the Genetic Demin Show which is in two days.
