The City: The producers have successfully immersed the girls in the world of New York City fashion; the involvement of people who actually work in the fashion industry has given the series clout (well, more clout than it had). It helps that the entire staff of
Elle doesn't mind appearing on camera, thus saving us from another season where Erin and Olivia fight, and Joe
Zee weakly tries to explain Olivia's presence without admitting that she's there to get in fights with Erin on TV. The more glossy
Bergdorf parties, sideways glances, beautiful clothes and dates with Page Six reporters the better. Plus, Whitney called Olivia a bitch to her face (two weeks ago)! Look how far she's come.
