I appeared on The View on Tuesday, March 3rd, to announce the Make Over America. What a blast. Thanks so much if you tuned in. Whether you did or you didn’t, I thought I’d give you a little behind the scenes recap.
In preparation for the show, we did a full day of fittings, hair and makeup. Luckily the four women I worked with were full of good energy and patience. Suzie showed up to Macy’s without a bra! (Hello?) But we soon fixed that. When I put her in the BCBG jumpsuit, everyone got quiet and looked at each other as if to say, “That’s pretty fabulous, isn’t it?” Suzie loved it and wanted to wear it on the show, but she had to promise me she would ROCK it. And she did!
Suzanne gets the award for straying out of her comfort zone. I don’t think she had ever worn a pencil skirt in her life. The one we got her from INC showed the amazing set of legs she was hiding under my least favorite garment in the world: The Mommy Jean. Suzanne felt bad for stumbling out of her heels a little on The View, but I thought it was cute!
Beth was a trooper. She tried on a LOT of jeans before we found the perfect pair. But I’ll tell you, a dark wash trouser jeans works almost every time. And that blue leather jacket. Amazing! My friend Kurt Lowry of Aveda NYC pumped up her red hair and my friend Gabriella Voigt pumped up those amazing cheekbones and va-va-va-VOOM! Superstar!
Robyn was another trooper. I wanted to demonstrate a trend that I’m calling “tough girly” this season. It’s about combining ultra-feminine pieces with more masculine ones, like a frilly dress with leather boots or a motorcycle jacket. Let me tell you: Only try this trend if you’ve got some free time on your hands. Not exactly the type of thing you can do in 20 minutes.
Now let’s talk about the women of The View.
Elisabeth is a sweetheart. She and I both went to Boston College for undergrad work (I was there about 500 years before her though) and we have a mutual friend. So, when she was hosting the segment, it felt like I was talking with an old friend.
Sherri and I didn’t get a chance to talk much, but she looked smokin’ hot.  And talk about a good hair day.
Backstage, Whoopi asked me what I could do to help her. And I told her that any time she wanted a stylist, she should have her people call my people and I would be there lickety-split. I think she being facetious because she defended her style at the end of the show when the producers flashed a BEFORE picture of Suzanne who was basically wearing the same thing as Whoopi!
But Whoopi, my offer still stands: You want to give up the oversized denim shirts? You give me a buzz, babe.
