My favorite luxury hipsters Gregg & Tayler are in the suburbs which is as horrifying as it sounds. Their new client, Beth, is a former professional poker player, so you know she’s got really great taste. Beth’s closet is tacky, but a different kind of tacky than Alisa Maria. This is a very special brand of stripper tacky, and it’s going to go over really well on her trip to the South of France.
Amy bargain shops in Bendels, which used to be a spectacularly cool store and then turned into a cartoon of itself. Amy brings Jennifer her accessories picks and Jennifer is all, “I have accessories covered. Nooooo accessories! Dress. Dress.” Go away, Amy.
Barbet pulls vintage dresses for Alisa Maria who is totally going to hate them because they are used. And old. Luckily Alisa Maria has assembled her “glam squad” for the fashion show. “So. I did vintage, because…you never know.” Yeah, well, I know. And guess what? Miss Bling Bling doesn’t like old clothes. “It looks like a prom dress.” “Hell to the no.” “That’s so wrong, right?” Back to the drawing board, or dressing room.
Amy visits a high-end consignment shop for moderately priced cocktail dresses. When she shows them to Jennifer, it’s more of YOU’RE TALKING TOO LOUD. “Pretty but I got better. I don’t know, looks like a Prada dress I already own. No. It annoys me, no. NOOOOO. Yes. Pretty. Yes. Pretty, pretty pretty.” Sadly, the dress she likes doesn’t even come close to fitting because Jennifer thinks she’s a size two when she hasn’t seen a size two since both Milli and Vanilli were alive. She ends up buying nothing.
Gregg and Tayler shop at Calypso for some St. Tropez-appropriate clothing. But these clothes are classy, and Beth is more klassy. “Fashion show! Open up a bottle of wine, helloooo!” So says Gregg, anyway. Beth and her friend are less excited about the fashion show. After a string of klunkers, Gregg and Tayler bust out a skin tight mini dress that Tayler claims is sexy and sophisticated, and a bikini that leaves at least a little bit to the imagination. It’s a hit, and a sale.
Barbet shops for new clothes (which maybe should’ve been her first stop on the shopping tour) and picks up a bunch of gold sequined gowns. Alisa Maria is underwhelmed, but at least she’s trying on clothes. Thankfully everyone loves a sequin gown, shiny shoes, and one of the ugliest Chanel bags I’ve ever seen. Then, Barbet pulls out a crystal gown with a $30,000 price tag and the “glam squad” loves it even though it makes Alisa Maria’s boobs look like a punch line to a bad joke. But, Barbet gets her money, so good on her.

I found the show to be boring. The clothing for the most part was just plain ugly and cheap. But the big problem here is that the stylists aren’t very talented…they seem like wannabes. All in all this show is a major YAWN. And, not for nothing, but the two Birkin bags in the photo look like fakes.
