Confidential to Andy Cohen: The Bravo Shows That Should Have Been
It's true that Bravo already announced eight new fashion-ish shows in development, but MY FASHION JUNKIE noticed a few missed opportunities. Because we're giving, Andy darling, a few gratis ideas for next pilot season:
THE FLACK FILES: We know you hate it when we call you by the F-word, but bear with us: An hour-long program in which James LaForce, Pierre Rougier, and Ed Filipowski use extreme measures (lunch with Anna, lunch with Glenda, lunch with Joanna) to sign clients. Think Selling New York, but with Banana Republic accounts instead of Tribeca triplexes. Between Target, Swarovski, and Gap—imagine the advertising potential! (You're welcome.)
IN LIKE THE LION: A casted coterie of B, C, and D-listers (tabloid reporters, fauxialites, Jersey Shore rejects, email us for specifics) bravely attempt to eat at John DeLucie's haute spot—sans reservation—on a weeknight, beginning at 6 p.m.. The storyline follows the existential crises that ensue as they wait—outside, "the bar is full"—for two, three hours and gulp $18 vodka sodas before ending up, inevitably and always, at Grey's Papaya. Lion regulars Sylvana Ward Durrett, Catherine Malandrino, and yes, Andy Cohen to make regular cameos while being ushered to their seats.
GET A SOUL! A long-overdue project in which TV crews finally capture the insane brilliance of SoulCycle. Beloved instructors MB, Daniel, and Jenny to serve as narrators/protagonists who are forced to confront the all-too-obvious issues plaguing their regulars—the one who furiously pedals through three consecutive classes in a sweatsuit, the one with the heart-rate monitor who "shimmies" in the front row, and the locker room throw-downs over locker space. A Twitter war with FlyWheel provides fodder for an end-of-season subplot.
IT'S A WANG, WANG WORLD: Exploring the parallel lives of Vera and Alexander, and how they intersect once the former is named the latter's mentor as some sort of CFDA thingy. Who sells more merch? Who makes more dough? Who gets more press? Who does Anna like best? Who's jealous, and why? The possibilities for meltdown are myriad. Maybe we'll save this one for the Daily in print...?
