God, I LOVE THIS SHOW!!!

Last night on Kell on Earth we came ass to mouth with George Wayne, a Vanity Fair contributing editor who isn’t afraid to get into the party. The seemingly inept Contributing Editor was quick to pop one of Kelli’s Swarovski crystals, collected from an installation from Genetic Denim, without asking or wondering what that camera was doing there filming him. That’s called “life of the party” in my book.

This otherwise unimportant event does bring up three horribly revealing questions though.

1. Is it the norm amongst the upper echelon of the fashion media to pop pills at random parties? Not really a question I guess if we all know the answer, right?

2. Has Kelli passed out drugs to editors in the past? We already know she’s cool hanging out with hookers, but is she the unannounced drug lord of the fashion world as well? It would explain why so many of her clients manage to get such great press coverage…

3. Does Kelli have no control over what get’s aired on Bravo? She seemed to shoo away camera’s at the Chado Ralph Rucci show and this show is only showing the world how poorly organized and managed things are behind the scenes at People’s Revolution. For someone who is hired to keep control of the public image of fashion brands, you’d think she’d have a little more control over her own.

Also, was no one concerned about the potential lead poisoning which comes from ingesting crystals? Would love you’re thoughts on this episode if you watched it.

This tee is one of a few limited edition reprints currently for sale in 410 BC’s online shop. In case you missed it the first time it was around, it features photographs of the 5 Bouroughs making up NYC (Bronx, Queens, Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Staten Island)…all of the guys and girls sizes are still left, so make sure you get them before they’re gone! This tee will NOT be restocked once it’s out (well, until the next run of limited edition reprints)…don’t miss out, plus it’s only $28 which is a total steal!
