The City, Season 3, Episode 10

"Stage Fight"

ELLE MAGAZINE

Joe Zee, Erin and Olivia are in Joe's office and Joe tells them that they are in a bit of a crisis. Erin booked the Martha Stewart show and they are asking for one more designer. Joe and Robbie have decided on Prabal Gurung. Olivia doesn't know him personally but she supports their choice. Joe tells her that Erin needs research on him: Background, history, education, looks and why is he one of the up and coming designers for Elle. Joe gets nervous and hands Olivia a pad of paper and a pen so that she doesn't screw this up. She tries to tell Joe that she knows, but Joe tells her to write it down anyway because it has to be perfect. HAHA!

PEOPLE'S REVOLUTION

Kelly's friend, Gian, manages Lights who is a huge hit in Canada. Lights is performing in NYC but she just got ROBBED. So Kelly assigns Roxy to "dress" Lights in Whitney Eve. Kelly tells Roxy that it would be a VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY bad thing if one of the outfits was NOT Whitney Eve. Pressure is on.

PRABAL GURUNG SHOWROOM

Olivia and Joe are looking a various looks. Olivia puts one together that they both love. Then Prabal picks his favorite dress and asks Olivia to wear it on the red carpet. Ugh. I know it makes me a bad person, but I hate to see her succeed at anything.

PEOPLE'S REVOLUTION

Gian and Lights meet Roxy to pick out some looks for the show. Whitney Eve really isn't her style. Her eyes keep wandering over to some of the other designer's in the showroom. Roxy tries to get her back on track by suggesting that she pair another outfit with a Whitney Eve jacket or something. Lights tries on the look and Roxy grabs a Whitney Eve coat for her to wear with it. But even I know that NONE of Whitney's clothes are going to end up on stage with Lights. No way no how.

LIGHTS CONCERT

Roxy brought some more Whitney Eve clothes to the concert. She tells Lights how important it is to wear at least the jacket. Lights says that she needs to feel comfortable, but appears to cooperate. It doesn't look like she'll go through with it, though. Kelly and Whit are waiting for the show to start and Whit is super excited. Zach - the photographer - shows up and Whit reminds him to make sure he gets a photo of Lights with the jacket.

HAHA! She walks out with the jacket on and IMMEDIATELY takes it off (and throws it on the ground) when she gets to the microphone and welcomes the crowd. Ouch. Whitney is PISSED and Roxy keeps looking up at her knowing that she's going to get yelled at later.

DKMS GALA

Olivia shows up in the Prabal dress with Joe Zee. Robbie walks up and Joe gives Olivia credit for pulling the Prabal look and Olivia looks smug, per usual.

LIGHTS CONCERT

Whitney takes off and Roxy goes to Zach to make sure he got a shot of Lights with the Jacket on. Whit finds Roxy and immediately lays in on her. Roxy interrupts and, correctly, tells Whitney that Lights just didn't like her stuff. It wasn't grungy enough. It's true. Whitney is still pissed and yells some more and then tells Roxy that she'll have to answer to Kelly, too.

MARTHA STEWART SHOW

Robbie, Seth and Erin are at the show and Erin is scrambling to get all the looks and models ready to go. Robbie tells Martha Stewart that she's really pretty. Weird. The show goes off without a hitch and everyone is happy. :)

WHITNEY'S APARTMENT

Roxy gets tea for Whitney and wants to talk about last night. Usually, I would be Team Whitney, but in this case, Roxy is right. Whitney comes out again with the fact that nothing this girl was wearing was Whitney Eve. But, Roxy correctly points out that she can't FORCE someone to wear something they don't want to wear. Whitney says that if Roxy can't perform then maybe she shouldn't be doing this line of work. Ouch. That was unnecessary. This is exactly why you can't have your friends doing "work" for you. It never turns out right. The same with selling a car - don't sell it to a friend. It never works out.

Roxy points out that it was her job to make sure Lights was wearing something Whitney Eve when she walked out. It's not her job to make sure she keeps it on throughout the show. She also assures Whitney that Zach got some pics of her wearing it when she walked out. She also tells Whitney that it's offensive to tell her that she shouldn't be doing this type of work just because this pop star doesn't like her clothes.

Whitney just doesn't get it. I understand that this is her baby and it's personal for her, but Roxy has been super supportive. Whitney says that she questions whether they should be working together and that's about the only thing I agree with. They should NOT be working together. Roxy feels defensive because Whitney is saying that she's CONSTANTLY disappointed by Roxy - which is a total exaggeration. Roxy just wants a little support from her best friend and I understand that. They agree that Roxy needs to move out. Yikes.

ELLE MAGAZINE

Joe walks down the hall with Olivia just fawning over her for her great job with the Prabal outfit for Martha Stewart. They reach Olivia's desk and he congratulates Erin for the Martha Stewart segment. He tells her that it was a real homerun and she did a great job and that Olivia really hit it out of the park, too. OY! Enough with the baseball analogies, Joe Zee. Geesh!

See you next time.

OMG OMG OMG OMG - KEN OLIN will be appearing on the next episode!!! WOO HOO!
