The Hills: Stress and The City

ORIGINAL EPISODES, MONDAYS @ 10PM ON MTV

Just a side note to start, are they really having a fashion party in a church? Isn't that, oh I don't know, just slightly sacrilegious? I can't imagine the Church foresaw photobooths in the confessionals when the Church was built. This is the most absurd thing I've ever heard of and I can't believe it went over so well with the top brass at Teen Vogue. At least it worked out for Whitney, she deserved some props for working so hard.

Speaking of Whitney, how could she go all the way to New York for a meeting with the EDITOR IN CHIEF of Teen Vogue and not practice her presentation. It's all well and good to put the thing together but if you don't practice it and work out any kinks it's not going to go well. Personally, I didn't think the presentation went well but apparently those over at Teen Vogue New York thought differently. Whitney got props for doing a good job and seems to be moving along well with her new position in the company.

While Whitney was impressing the people at Teen Vogue, Lauren was sent downtown to visit Marc Jacobs studio and help prepare their photoshoot. I actually thought it was odd that they would surprise Lauren with the opportunity to go over there and then put her to work. I think she was a bit shocked at that too but in the end it worked out because she made a good impression and even got to meet Marc Jacobs. These ladies get amazing job opportunities being on this show and they're very lucky. Not that I'm looking for a job in fashion but I wish I could get those kinds of opportunities in my field.

There wasn't all that much else that took place tonight. Brody got a phone call from Spencer after he ran in to Frankie outside Bolthouse. Frankie laid it out there for Spencer and basically just told him that if he wants to be friends with Brody he needs to chill out and just let Brody be friends with whoever he chooses. Maybe Spencer was willing to do that at the end of the episode but we may never know since Brody has no desire to call him back. Lauren really showed what kind of person she really is in all this. Whereas others (Spencer and Heidi) took opportunities like this to bad mouth Lauren, she came right out and told Brody that she doesn't want to effect his friendship with Spencer and he should do whatever makes him happy. She's really a good person and it shows just how petty Speidi really is.

It seems that Brody and Lauren are beginning to get pretty close. That was a nice little setup with the candles and the movie at Lauren's apartment. I think she may be wanting a bit of the Brody. Maybe next week we'll see if that's the case or if they're just really close friends. Until next week, enjoy the review!
