Im so disappointed in Whit for last night episode. Roxy is right she cant force the girl to wear whitneyeve because its so not her style. She did her best, Whit could be more understanding.
Whitney is so out of order. You cannot make somone wear your clothes. Maybe if she was paid to do so. Whitney Eve is obviously not Lights style it is too girly. She cannot blame Roxy for this one she did her best. She was more interested in Tsubi.
Christian Kaplan who posts The City on Twitvid every week is our saviour. It is the only place you can watch it outside the USA without having to do those SPAM questionairs. Thank you
PS: I wonder if he is related to Erin as he has the same surname??? Lol

The City Recap: An Unknown Pop Star Finally Tears Whitney and Roxy Apart
Last night's episode of The City aired with a disturbing, scary question looming over America's heads: What will happen if this show really ends? Well, firstly, the entire fashion industry will have to find another easy way to get on national television. Not just designers like Prabal Gurung, Rachel Roy, Henry Holland, Anna Sui, Badgley Mischka, Zac Posen, Nichola K, and others, but also media outlets other than Elle, like Glamour, Paper, "Page Six," and Ladies' Home Journal. Though we'd miss the show terribly, the drama — namely the fight Roxy and Whitney have over some anonymous singer wearing her dresses — has started to feel more blatantly contrived than ever before. Either that or Whitney's real fame has turned her into a huge diva in her fake life, too. But more on that in this week's lessons!
Lesson 1: Work meetings.
Do: Bring a notepad and pen. Does Olivia ever go to a meeting with a notepad? Has she ever had a paper cut in her life? Even if you don't plan to pay attention, at least pretend like you're taking notes by doodling. That is harder for Olivia to do in the opening of the episode when Joe is giving her an assignment in a meeting where Erin is the only other person there, but she doesn't even bring any sort of writing utensils with her. Joe has to hand her a pad and pen and instruct her to "write this down." This also looks bad for Joe, who hired someone who can't take notes.
Don't: Have attitude. It's unclear whether Olivia thinks she's too good to carry a pen and notepad around like Erin, who actually works hard and does a good job, but her attitude suggests she thinks she doesn't need Joe to tell her to write things down. She claims she understands, but judging by her work history, all she seems to understand are her curling iron and the contents of her cosmetic bag.
Lesson 2: Trying to be a fashion authority.
Do: Try to impart that you have a point of view. Olivia saunters with Joe into the meeting with Prabal to select a look for Robbie Myers's Martha Stewart appearance with the same attitude she had walking into the meeting with no pen: like she knows all, and the world is lucky to be in her presence. Confidence is to be applauded, but saying this: "Menswear is so big, it's probably my all-time favorite look," just suggests she's trying to show the world that she knows things about fashion.
Don't: Speak with an affectation as severe as Lady Gaga's. Olivia's accent is becoming more and more affected as the series goes on. How? Why? What valley has she been hiding in?
Lesson 3: Trying to get your clothes on famous people.
Don't: Just take any old singer who washes up on your doorstep. Kelly announces to Whitney and Roxy that a Canadian singer called "Lights" — of whom we had never heard until last night — had just been robbed! And needed emergency clothes for her show! And suggests Roxy get her into some Whitney Eve. A famous person hasn't worn Whitney Eve before, so Whitney's hungry for the exposure, but it's ridiculous for her to put all her eggs in this Lights person's basket. No one knows who she is, so no one will care what she wears.
Do: Try to get your clothes on lots of people, especially those whose style actually suits them. Whitney should be sending samples to lots of celebrities. You know, country singers and folk dancers and Wasps who might actually think her stuff is edgy.
Lesson 4: Having a fake conversation with Olivia Palermo.
Do: Look at and talk to her like you don't understand her purpose. Rachel Roy was spectacular in this episode. First, she looked great and brought some class to the party. Second, she looked at Olivia like she was a strange woodlands creature. "You went too?" she says to her, brow slightly furrowed, when Joe tells her Olivia went with him to visit Prabal. "What did you have to do there?" she says, still confused. Erin isn't the only one with fabulous facial expressions!
Lesson 5: Understanding how the clothes you designed look to the world.
Don't: Get mad because someone who wants to be edgy doesn't want to wear your tea-party garb. Whitney is pissed at the Lights show because all the chick wears is a jacket by her — not a whole outfit including a dress — and throws it on the floor in a fit of staged angst as soon as she goes on. Whitney blames Roxy, even though she should be thanking Roxy up and down for just getting this person to wear something by her at all. "A lot of your stuff is not grungy. It's beautiful, but it's not grungy," Roxy tells her backstage when Whitney comes at her in a diva fit. "The only thing that worked for her is the jacket."
Do: Take responsibility for your aesthetic. Whitney may as well be blind and deaf to not, by this point, know that her brand is not edgy and she is not, aesthetically speaking, the next Alexander Wang. But all the sense Roxy shouts on her falls on deaf ears. "There's no sign of any of my collection," she says, which isn't even true since the girl wore one of her jackets, but whatever. Realizing she's unable to fight this fight alone, she finally says, "Kelly will be so pissed." Any normal person would brush it off since this is Lights she's getting so upset over.
Lesson 6: Forgiveness.
Do: Be nice to your friend when she goes out of her way to make you tea! The morning after the Lights concert, Roxy has made tea for Whitney, but Whitney is still having a diva fit over Roxy's perceived screwup. The morning-after conversation:

Do: Be nice to your friend when she goes out of her way to make you tea! The morning after the Lights concert, Roxy has made tea for Whitney, but Whitney is still having a diva fit over Roxy's perceived screwup. The morning-after conversation:
Roxy: I got you some tea.
Whitney: Oh, thanks.
Roxy: Just wanted to talk to you about last night.
Whitney: Yeah. That was a little disappointing, to say the least. Listen, granted she was in the jacket, but she just ripped it off, and I haven't heard from Zach yet, but I'm, like, praying that Zach got one good picture.
Roxy: He did, he did. I checked and made sure. I can't force somebody to wear something they don't feel comfortable in.
Whitney: Kelly gave you this responsibility, and if you can't pull through, then you shouldn't be doing this anymore.
Roxy: Okay. [Sighs.] I put her in the jacket to make sure that there was photos of her in the jacket. I don't know how long she's gonna wear the jacket for. That's not my business. My business is to get her dressed, make her feel comfortable, put her in something of yours, and then it's all her. For you to say I shouldn't be doing this when I worked really hard is really offensive.
Whitney: When I want to micromanage and make sure it all goes well, it's because I poured my heart and soul into this line, and i care about it way more than you possibly ever could.
Roxy: I've been 100 percent your biggest advocate, and you got your picture. You got your clothes on her ... I don't know.
Whitney: This just makes me think more and more what are we doing working together like this? Our relationship is getting way too strained, and I don't want it to be like this anymore. Like, I don't want to have to feel constantly disappointed in things.
Roxy: Constantly feeling disappointed, when one time I've done something like this. It would be a little helpful to have, like, my best friend's support and actually talk to me about things as opposed to, like, when one thing goes wrong you're out the door. That makes me feel like ... I can't win. I don't even feel —
Whitney: So figure out what you want to do, Roxy.
Roxy: I want to move out.
Whitney: So then move out. So then move out.
Roxy: Sweet.
Don't: Live with friends. The above kind of thing happens more often than not, and there's no guarantee you can get back together. The most screwed-up thing about the situation is that Whitney seems to have convinced Roxy that she did screw up!Whitney: Oh, thanks.
Roxy: Just wanted to talk to you about last night.

Whitney seriously needs to get a grip, It wasn't Roxy's fault that Lights wouldn't wear her clothes and she was downright out of order to Roxy.... she needs to get over herself!!
Whitney did something I didn't think possible- I felt sorry for Roxy!!
She not my favorite, but she didn't cause the 'problem' here...
I guess Olivia is the only one on this show who may have crossed paths with the writers from New York Magazine before the show began, and it certainly sounds like there is bad blood between them...Olivia did make a few enemies on her way up the celeb/social ladder the last few years...So maybe that's what is going on- it does seem pretty critical...

I really enjoyed this week's episode.
I have to admit that I pegged Roxy all wrong- she really is a true friend that wants to help Whit out. Roxy did her job and she did it well- the style of clothing that Lights was going for was not the Whitney Eve look. Roxy all but forced her to wear the jacket. I mean really who wants to rock out wearing something that's constraining?
Oh and isn't it interesting that Whitney's 'threat' that Roxy would also have to answer to Kelly didn't occur- more than likely because Kelly would have taken Roxy's side. They got the picture with the artist wearing the jacket for goodness sake- what more do you want considering that wasn't the girls style?. Geez Louise (where is Louise anyways?...)
I can understand that Whit is afraid of how her line(s) will be percieved to the masses but she was really acting ridiculous. She's always so quick to point the finger at others (Designer who tried to 'steal' her model/Roxy) instead of seeing things for what they are and focusing on the 'woman in the mirror' (MJ).
Whitney was talking a lot of sh*t yesterday especially the line about how she cares so much more because she's poured her heart and soul into the line, not saying that isn't the case but I'd love to see who she will get in place of Roxy. I mean lets face it an outsider is going to care even less than a friend which is what Roxy is.
Olivia needs to fall back. Joe has praised you at ad nauseum now hush up and let him and Erin talk without your little quips. She's like a child who is always in need of Daddy's attention. Hot mess.

I agree I wish there was some kind of karma I could send to him!
If only my boyfriend knew that uploading the latest episode was all it took to get me onside... ha

^ Yup...I'm starting to see it as a mindless half hour of interesting fashion and lots of pretty girls... 
I just hope some young girls in the Midwest aren't thinking "I'm going to go to NY and do that, too!!"- because there is no reality about the actual New York fashion business in this show...Next week Roxy is going to look for an apartment- wait until that reality sets in!!
