- The Real Kid of NY breaks down the first episode of 'Prep,' and talks about her own high school experience.
Hey guys! This is my FIRST blog on Bravotv.com, but I do have some experience from my mom’s past ones. If you like this one please comment and tell me so! So, the first episode of NYC Prep… P.S: I do know all of these kids and I must say that they are all really nice and fun. If you guys are reading this, my advice is BE REAL and true to who you are. Don’t let this show get to your head or bring you down. You are who you are and that will show eventually. If you are not “real” then it will just hurt you in the end.
On my high school experience: Well I am about to be a senior (my mom is still in shock) and I have had a unique high school experience. Most of my friends are a lot older or were seniors, so I wont be seeing too much of them anymore. I do go out a lot but mostly to adult parties and always supporting my friends. That's why I love Jessie so much on the show; I only go to parties to either support my friends, family, or make connections for my career in the fashion and art industry. And, that's exactly why she was at a party in the first episode. I am an aspiring photographer, go on www.allyzarin.com for my pictures, and anytime there is an exhibit or a party, I always go to meet fun and interesting people with similar interests. By the way, I am raising money for Teens Turning Green to raise advocacy for teens helping out our environment. So it would mean so much if you could donate HERE. Or buy this AWESOME necklace and 30% of proceeds will go to TTG.

Ally, it was great seeing your mom on Kathy Griffin last night! It was so funny! Question: That girl that Sebastian was on the date with, Remy, will we see more of her? I've seen her at every fashion show. She has a blog for 17 Mag. My friends and I were coming out of Pastis last week and we walked by the Gaansavort and there she was getting out of a Maybach with a bodyguard, dressed to kill in a pair of ridiculous Louboutins. Last week, friends of mine saw her with Lucy Liu. The week before that with Madonna's daughter Lourdes. Then I googled her because I've become a total fan seeing her everywhere and she was in LA for a Charlotte Ronson event hanging with Jeremy Piven and every other LA celeb. I met her once at the Marc Jacobs show, and believe it or not, she is actually nice - and so beautiful in person. Have you ever met her? Bring her back to NYC Prep! She is so interesting. If I wasn't gay I'd marry her! PS: PC is Hot!

Best part of the blog was the last page. Not that the rest wasn't good, but the first page felt like you were selling stuff. That belongs on LiveJournal, not Bravo. Stick to stuff about the show, no offense though!! :)

heyy ally,
I think everything that you said in your blog is completely true. I also go to a private high school in the south,and there is drama, stress, and hard work that must go into our work in order to get into the college of our dreams. It is not always easy, but i guess as high school students with ambitions, we must work hard to fufill these ambitions.Anyway, I absolutely love your blog and hope you keep on writing. Its nice to see this show from a different point of view. Its not coming directly from the people on the show, but from a person who knows these people and can let us know a different point of view.
I love your mom, she absolutely cracks me up. Keep up your amazing attitude and personality. I am sure its not easy to do this while being on tv, but you're good at it.

heyy ally,
I absolutely think everything you said in your blog is true. I dont really know from 1st hand, but i go to a private high school in the South and there is still the stress, drama, and hard work that we must do in order to achieve the goal of getting into the college of our dreams.Anyway, I loved reading your blog and I hope you continue to write blogs so we can keep up on what an outsider of the show but insider of the people on the show really thinks.
I love you and your Mama. You both absolutely crack me up.
Keep up the amazing attitude and person you are and how many people see you because that is hard to do being on a teleision show i am sure.

Please, Ally, enough with the links and the advertising. I'm sure you learned that trick from your mom, but she caught a lot of heat for thinking Bravo viewers are remotely interested in sustaining your elite lifestyle/interests.
