Toast and Scrambled Eggs

Kelly recaps the episode and gives Skinner (and you!) some simple cooking tips.

Mar 22, 2010

OK, here we are at episode 7. ­ Time flies - ­ next week will be our last episode. OMG, did you like our interview with Mallory and the follow up story from her previous employer in the NY Post? I have not been following her case but I do hope she retained a great lawyer and is on her way to a new career. As far as Andrew Mukamal¹s comments about donuts... ­ as his work mother I am not even going there! Los Angeles - the trip was great. ­ MY Studio is probably going to change pop culture and mall life forever. ­ They will be opening up throughout the country and I urge you all to go in and make a song. ­ I made Bette Davis Eyes. I am in LA right now writing this to you with Ava, ­ we are going on a much needed vacation on Wednesday. To Skinner, ­ a quick recipe:

hahahha i love you. honestly. l o v e.

fashion to the death. and i bet grace healy is kicking ass and taking names at ppls rev.

Kelly, I found this episode refreshing and delightful. It was nice to hear some honest talk about the economy and how things will not ever be the same. There was several times that you were talking tonight and I found myself nodding in agreement. So in all I guess I'm trying to say Thank you. Thank you for saying it like it is and being honest.

I was just wondering why you have a picture of Taylor Lautner on the board in your office? I love the show and I love him, but I really can't figure out how they're connected. Lol.

I totally agree with you....if you went to a lawyer they wouldn't give you free advice - you shouldn't either; especially in this economy!

Hang in there, I hope it all works out for you and your company.

Kelly I love the show your great its my monday night guitly pleasure. I love how you work hard but always make Ava your first priority. Thanks for resprenting all the single moms who work hard and can still be great Moms!

Kelly, I love this show - and your comment on how all of us in fashion don't like the real world is right on! We escape, and love doing it in fashion. I really think that you would be a huge, even bigger success if you and your staff dressed as though you're all proud of yourselves, and your positions. The no makeup, and sloppy clothing does not lend itself to the fashion industry. Just wondering why all the low maintenance, and sloppiness at work? I just love all your helpers. They're beautiful, including your male assistant. So sorry you're over for the season. Please come back next year. I love the show, just put on some lipstick. Much love, Elizabeth

Next week is the last episode? Good try. Sorry it didn't work out. At least you're still on The City and The Hills for now.

Kelly - I am obsessed with your show! Honestly, watching you on The Hills and The City I thought (what a biotch) but after watching your new show, I totally get you. I think all of your employees and interns are truly lucky to work for you. I'm glad you did this show - your work is so interesting and it's exciting to watch on a boring Monday night!

Kelly, does your staff ever do background checks, credit checks and check their references? You have really had a hard time finding quality people and it doesn't seem like references are checked.

Oh No please don't say your show is over... That season went too damn fast! I can hardly wait for season 2. Thanks for the peek into your world. I am especially impressed by how forward thinking you are but then, that's the nature of the fashion world huh? Best of luck on your "evolution" revolution into other marketing endeavors. I'm also thinking you'd be great hosting a talk show.... you probably would have a very eclectic guest list I'm sure. You are a fierce woman Kelly....BRAVO!

Kelly, Love the show and your honesty, it shows that you are a business woman and know how to get things done, even when you know people wont like what they hear. I don't get how all these people just up and quit their jobs or do something to Jeopardize their careers, I don't get it especially in this economy. I just got laid off after being 9 years with one company and of course like many out there not finding much. I hope your employees and especially your EX-employee realize what an amazing opportunities they have with your firm. Yeah, you gotta work hard, but you seem like a likable and reasonable person when it comes to your employees. Wish you the best of luck and hope you get some dedicated drama free new employees!

Your show is great! I also loved your book and it makes me smile when I see overlapping lessons between the two. Thank you for being such a great role model and encouraging everyone to march to the beat of their own drum!

Kelly - I just have to tell you that I, as a young career-minded woman, really respect you and look up to you - - you are a FANTASTIC role model for girls, across the board.

Take care - you rock !!

Kelly, You rock. I think you have a style of your own and you are not afraid to say it! I think you kick butt and take names and are not afraid to be a strong woman! That is so inspiring. As I try to build my own name and create my own business it is nice to know that there is not a glass ceiling and that others have achieved what I want to someday! Keep it up Lady!!! xoxo KC http://www.letterstobetsy.com

Kelly- Being an extremely hard-working girl myself I work late nights Monday and have recently been missing the show. Now, if I have to see another repeat episode of The real housewives of the OC I am going to freak out. Please pass on to your producer that it would be good "publicity" if they were to repeat one of your episodes just once again during the week! Make it happen :)

If i could work with you i would be willing to scrub your toilets!!! Ahhhh......if only i did not have young kids and a husband i would be sleeping on your doorstep. YOU ARE FANTASTIC!!! Can't wait to buy your book!

Kelly, I love you and the staff at People's Revolution! Is there going to be another season? I think 8 is NOT enough episodes! Thanks for inspiring a Midwestern small town mom.

Kelly, I love your show. You are fantastic at what you do and seem to have a great support staff. I also love that you wear black all the time, as do I. I went to school for P.R. and Marketing and your job is what I've always wanted to do! Keep it up, you're honesty is refreshing!

Kelly, What a relief, finally someone understands that time is money and my time is not free. I spent over 70 hours putting together Honeymoon packages of various prices and when it came time to book my "client", They inform me via Facebook, that they had booked the package themselves through a on-line booking engine and saved a couple dollars. What jerks! They had no consideration of the effort I put out to get them great deals and the ammount of work it was. NO LONGER MY CLIENTS!!!! You are so lucky to get your money through small claims court.

Dear Kelly,

I watch your show religiously. I think that you are creative, inspiring, and a genius. It has been fun learning so much from you.

I'm sure someone has mentioned this to you before but I thought I would put this idea out there for you because I think it would be a huge asset to the continued success of your company. Just a thought on how compensate for the recession. Why don't you go to the local fashion business schools or recruit from around the world interns; asspiring fashionistas with studies in your fields willing to work a year for free at your company in exchange for a letter of recommendation from you. Just a thought. I would have loved that experience when I was starting out.

Thanks for reading. Sincerely,

Nicole Fay

Kelly,

I just want to say that you rock, and I hope that you keep doing more and more episodes. I love your staff. Your staff and you remind me of my work place. We are like a family and once you are in your in for life. We also sit as close as you and your staff sit together so yeah there are some fights but we love each other. I love your show and hope you stay with it for a while. Thank you so much.

Love one of your biggest fans!

Kelly, I know your all about empowering women to follow their dreams, but guys can and should learn from your approach, too. I was skeptical when I watched this with my wife, but it's nice to see someone to publicly fight so hard for her dreams. Consider me a student.

Kelly, I have the greatest respect & admiration for you ! Raising Ava(sp?),running a killer business on both coasts & honestly being a good-hearted ,hard-working mom is no mean feat ! Esp.,in this awful economy.I wish you all the best.Have 1 simple question...In the most recent episode (where Skinner insists on working her ass to the bone),& you narrowly missed getting getting lotsa PR on Page 6 w/the Mallory incident.Towards the end of the show,you were wearing this great pink & purple kurta that was bejeweled...or maybe it was sequence,or beading...Am not sure... LOVE the shirt though ! Can you tell me where you got it ,or who made it ? PLEASE... Thanks...You Rock,Persebon

I work in a PR Firm in Las Vegas, as a event coordinator. At our PR Firm, the publicsits have desks in the center of the building, they all can see each other's faces kind of like your office, but they have a couleage and myself in a office, who coordinate all the events, plan, and do everything for them. However, the whole office still has to work at the event. You should set your office that way to, at least it might ease some of your workload. We have up to four events a week, so we are a busy office to, and we have even had some publicists who have had to travel with their clients around the country. P.S. You are a beautiful woman, and I have to say this, when you did a photo shoot, you looked amazing! You should dress like that everyday, I am the same way as you, and when I get dressed up, everyone is shocked. But now after seeing how great you looked dressed up, I think I am going to try to dress up more, and not be so relaxed. I love you girl.

Kelly- I love your no nonsense approach to business, life and love. I am addicted to your show, the staff and fashion. As a fellow working woman it is about time that strong women in any industry are highlighted and given the chance to demonstrate what success takes. AND- that you can incorporate a little bit of life into that. Great show, I hope that there's a 2nd season.

Kelly,

I am another Kelly, a bit older than you.....I just wanted to say a couple of things. First of all, have a geat Vaca with Ava. I have to tell you, you have gotten me thru a personal slump te last month or so....back in the day, I WAS FIERCE! Spunky, agressive, and have always had a job related to sales/customer service. Well, about a year go I was laid off from my favorite job- doing PR/Sales/Support for a multi-national company FROM MY HOME! I woked my ass off, but loved the actvity and challenge. Since then, I am coping with some health issues, and been feeling a bit useless, but you inspire me! You are smart, sharp, and karma tells me you are just an overall good human. I love your relationsip with Ava, what a wonderful girl! I have two daughters, 19 and 22, and they are great, but at the point right now where they are assertng themselves/pullng away big time, except of course when they need money$

In any case, I am taking it day by day and feel this funk lifting, but I gotta tell you, I thrive on hard work, and while I am not a fahionista, if I lived anywhere near NYC, I would come right in and apply for any job you would give me! Good luck during this business climate, and if you ever open an office here in Sacramento, I am in!

Kelly, I adore your show! Seriously it makes my week and I can‘t get enough! But tell me, what’s up with the bad mouthing Walmart? Walmart is doing a great job bringing chic looks to everyday people on a budget. Did you know that Norma Kamali and Max Azria have lines at Walmart for such amazing prices? I just wanted to let you know I got your book there today. They support you so you should give them some love. I’m excited to read it, keep up the good work!

Kelly you ROCK!!! I can't see how you can take a breath the way you multi-task life. Then you go straight to Mommy mode when you see your adorable daughter. You are my HERO... Love you in NYC. Sooo much better than LA. I was going blind with all the blondeness going on and their extensions. Keep it up girl...

Hi Kelly Loved you since the first outburst on Hills/City. Keep the young ones on the right path. As a newly retired almost 50 yr old, stay at home mom of a 9 & 13 yr old...I look forward to your show for something honest and refreshing. You say what most people think. I love it, please come back for another season. Thanks for keeping real!

Kelly - you're quite simply fabulous. I've enjoyed the birdseye view of your life and work and sure hope you come back for another season.

Being a big fan of all things Bravo I'm constantly chuckling at the absurdity of how a pretty simple, 38 year old kinda frumpy wife from middle America gets such a kick out of the glimpses of different realities brought to us by Bravo. It's not even an escape for me - I love my life - it's just a hoot. Guess I'm just saying thanks to you (and all the 'Bravolebrities') for givin' us a glimpse!

Enjoy spring in NYC, A fan from Minnesooooota

Kel - You were on my husbands whale watching boat today and he didn't even tell me until we were eating dinner and I almost killed him. He knows I love watching your show, every Monday I say no we can't go out because I have to watch Kell on Earth, but he never listens to what I say so today when he said I had that girl Kel from Hell or what ever you call it on the boat, I said you mean Kell on Earth and he said Yes, I said OH my God!! Why didn't you call me and I would have run down to the wharf. Anyway, I wanted to invite you over for dinner. Oh well, he said you had a great time. Next time your're in Monterey and go Whale Watching, Tell Tinker to call his wife!!! I can't believe him! Terri

DEAR KELLY, LOVE THAT YOU HAVE YOUR OWN SHOW NOW. JUST LOVE IT. ITS BETTER THEN THE HILLS AND THE CITY. I HAVE LEARN SO MUCH FROM YOU JUST BY WATCHING THE SHOW. I WAS MY BOSS WAS COOL LIKE YOU. I KNOW THAT TIMES ARE KILLING US ALL AND WE HAVE A OWN BUSINES AND TO SEE THAT YOU DONT GO CRAZY WITH MONEY LIKE 95% OF NEW YORKS DO IT GREAT. YOUR LITTLE GIRL IS A DOLL. CAN'T BELIEVE THE NEXT SHOW IS THE LAST ONE OF THE YEAR THAT IS GOING TO KILL ME. GOOD LUCK IN ALL YOU DO. LVE JESSICA SINGLE MOTHER IN STUART, FLORIDA

I am so completely addicted to this show. Is it the behind the scenes fashion workings or the absolutely fantastic pack of wolf women? I am soooo glad to see some strong women on tv finally...."you say I am a bitch like thats a bad thing", lol moment! Classic

Kell:

You rock! As a former college football player, your tough-love, hard-work approach reminds me much of my former football coaches and father. I'd be freaking honored to have you as a boss.

Hopefully this is the first of many "Kell on Earth" seasons. By the way, can you give a shout out to the nation's cap.?! Great show, great business.

Hi, just to tell you and Bravo that this show is FANTASTIC. I just can't believe season 1 is almost over. PLEASE We want season 2. Also to let you know that your book is fantastic I read it in three days. Greetings from Puerto Rico.

Kelly,

I have been trying desperately to figure out if you are hiring at your New York office and if so what I have to do to be considered. Please let me know- working for you would be an honor and a great learning experience! Thanks Kelly. PS- love the show!

- Nicole G.

Kelly: First time for everything, posting on the net. Just finished reading your book. I found out today that my 55 year-old ex-husband divorced since July is filing bankruptcy and the house that we had is being foreclosed on with my name still on the loan. This is after he remarried last week to a woman he's known for 3 weeks. He has my 12 year old son 50% of the time so now E is living with a "step mom" he doesn't even know. I've done everything I was supposed to in our agreement on half his salary. I'm saying a lot of prayers, but after all I've been through this is beyond my "fixing it" with strength or money. Of course I my son doesn't know whats going on I keep him protected from this whole situation. It seems that no matter how right I try to be, everybody who does wrong wins out in this world. There is no light at the end of this tunnel. Maybe I am praying to the wrong God. Thanks Kell

Kelly You're wonderful, you are cool, etc.etc. etc. As a power woman in the workforce I only have one rule of thumb to pass on to you. I too deal with the planning of high profile events and I learned a long time ago that if you are providing the service then you are the one setting the terms. I work for a celebrity chef planning high end events and have had to threaten more than once- no money, no party. I want payment in advance or you do not get your event. If you wait till after the event there is nothing at stake. I will agree to terms but it will cost them an additional 5-10% of the total cost on top of the event. Sorry, small claims court is for punks. Keep the control. Best of luck! K

Kelly,

I love your show. It is an eye opener into the fashion world. I had no idea that it took so much work. I am sad that the finale is this week. Your show is my fave and I record it every week.

Kelly,

it was a great treat to run into you in Stinson Beach. We hope you got some rest, explored wild parts of Nor Cal and didn't get too hot in your rainboots. It is amazing how you seem the same exact person in person you seem to be on the screen. You are yourself and never acting. That's why this show is so powerful and so much fun. We are your big fans. I only wish we had more time to talk. My kids would love to play with Ava.

Where can I get the AMAZING crystal/glass Laughing Buddah?

Hello Peoples Revolution! Hello Kelli!

Just thought I would send you a message not because you need some random person sending you e-mails but because I want to say that above all the drama that is television. I think you all are great and I love to watch your show and watch how all Peoples Revolution craziness unfolds each week. People don't get to hear others wish them the best very often so from one human to a bunch of others...Cheers and continued success to you and your business.

Thanks for entertaining me!

Rob Albany, NY

Kelly-

I rarely am moved enough to take the time to send a note to someone on TV but I want you to know that I think you are some special lady!

I am home ill and getting better but I have you to thank for my smiles of late. I just enjoy your push and philosophy on work and life.

Your daughter is one lucky little girl to have such a cool mom and fine mentor! It's obvious that your staff has great respect for you with lots of love--I'm not surprised! They are so much fun to watch by the way, they make New York look so fun!

Good luck and hope to see another great season!

Kelly you are so really and honest. Thanks for opening your life and business. I love how you show how hard it is to be self employed. It isn't a piece of cake at all. It is more work than going to work at a job. I love how you tell it like it is and care about each person life as well. Hope to see you back again.

Hi Kelly,

I just wanted to tell you how much I loved your show. What I enjoyed most was the interaction with your daughter Ava. It was so touching to see how you took time out of your extremely busy and chaotic day to make her feel that she is #1 regardless of what's happening around you! You make it look effortless.

As a business professional, I did tend to cringe during the episode when the interns had trouble addressing envelopes under Stephanie V.'s direction. Oh my god, kudos to you for not pulling your hair out right then and there. I am sure it took every ounce of restraint to keep calm and collected. Throughout the season, I was impressed at how your office, though burning the candle at both ends still managed to produce such amazing fashion events. It was entertaining to get a glimpse inside your business and watch your team come together on these high profile projects.

I hope that you come back for a second season. I love NY and this is a great way for me to get my fix when I am not traveling there for business.

Best of luck to you and Ava. Thanks for letting us inside People's Revolution!

I am sure taping was done prior to my post of the first few blogs. However, I felt like you had, just based on the way you seemed to answer to my comments, read them and answered them. That being said, I think I was rough on you, because I am a single mom of two (14 & 15 year old young ladies) and I didn't want to see you end up like me at my point. Not just a mother doing it on her own (I refuse to use the term “single mother”, as I chose the father by making bad decisions. If is in their life as much as he can be from prison, but is behind about 65k in child support, but I have always been a power woman, with the attitude I am king and queen. I am tough on the exterior, but when it all came down, I had put on an act and I was left with the reality of the economy, two girls expecting me to be tough, money problems, aging, and the reality that toughness and good taste was not going to get me by. In fact, being in Iowa, it was a downfall. I wish we had been in NYC. Maybe we would be better off right now. Beauty and toughness doesn't get you everywhere, but it sure is heck helps! I, like you, have a closet of black, black, and more black. But, trust me, all my blacks are different, and stylish. People in Iowa only see the black. I am happy to see you and the rest of the group with a little cover up and lipstick on. It makes all the difference in the world. I wish you the best. I am just watching the final episode now (thank you, DVR!). I see you getting in touch with DKNY. Rock it, girl, like you always do! The world and daughters could use more women like us! Congrats if you get the account! So happy for you and your staff. They work so hard to make you happy and in the end, it's not just a job and a paycheck, it is making you happy and them happy. Their happiness is really fed off you. You have more weight on your shoulders than you do. It is tough to have so much responsibility on one, but you will pull it off. Oh, and I love the "free love" relationship you have with Ava's dad. It is cool and it is "right on".

Kelly,

I wish there would have been women such as yourself on TV when I was a kid. You're the kind of woman girls today can aspire to be.

Thank you for being such a good role-model, even if you didn't intend to be!
