The reality TV reincarnation of Jane Pratt • Former Jane/Sassy demigod Jane Pratt and annoyingly mustachioed stylist Philip Bloch have teamed up for a VH1 reality show that puts “unfashionable women” at the helm of a fashion magazine, Page Six reports today.  The pilot, which has already been shot, is called American Ugly.  (Get it?  It’s America’s Next Top Model meets Ugly Betty! Sigh.)  A show insider says the contestants “are just the saddest bunch.  These people not only needed fashion tips, they needed an entire mental makeover.  Not one could possibly run a magazine.  They were delusional.”  No matter—we’ll watch anyway!

So by "ugly" and "unfashionable" they mean "women who don't come from money," right?

I had to give up my dream of working for women's magazines when I learned my parents wouldn't be putting me up in a Manhattan apartment.

Speaking of VH1 reality, have you been watching Bazaar's Mary Alice Stephenson on "America's Most Smartest Model"? Insane.

Swap out Manhattan for Sydney and I hear ya!

Been thinking about this more and it really does just sound cruel. And, like, just dumb. I can accept that there are people out there who are unsuitable prospects for employment at a fashion magazine. MOST people are unsuitable prospects. But.... why would you get a bunch of people who can't do it... to go ahead and do it?

Why is Phillip Bloch still being called a stylist? The last time he did anything of significance was years ago when he dressed Halle Berry for the Oscars? I heard he styles Cheryl Tiegs but does that mean he's a stylist? I don't think so. Pretentious? I have met him several times. He's so full of himself. The show sounds like crap - won't be made into a series unless the contestants are wacked out enough. Shows like this are bottom of the barrel.
