The Day After

Hear from Rodger about the Byron & Tracey opening, Taylor's last-minute ditch, and The Zoe Report.

September 15, 2009

After the pressure of award season dies down, the team starts to get back to the normal day to day business of styling. Taylor even starts to smile a bit and get along with Brad, although that’s short lived.

Much of the episode includes the Bryon and Tracey salon opening event. The entire team goes to and supports Bryon and Tracey and they are really part of our extended family. This is actually the second salon, the first was a small studio that Bryon owned on Robertson Boulevard.

Rachel actually introduced Bryon to Tracey when he moved to the larger space and urged the two of them to partner in what became the Byron and Tracey Salon. Because of the closeness we feel with them and the salon, Rachel was really disappointed that Taylor (the "Baylor") didn’t show up. So typical Taylor, she says she doesn’t like being in social situations but she always seems to go out at night. Reality is she has to create drama out of the most "normal" situations. It’s very frustrating.

The episode also highlights the fact that Rachel is more and more in the public eye, and not everything they say about her is flattering. I believe that as long as they are talking about her, it means she’s doing something right, but the negative stuff obviously hurts especially when you can’t tell your side of the story. That’s one of the reasons why I decided to really get involved in Rachel’s business, especially on the digital side which I know pretty well. The proliferation of social networks have made it possible for anyone, especially those in the public eye, to talk directly to the world without the lens of the media. It’s very powerful and I knew once Rachel was introduced to it, she would be hooked. You can now find Rachel on MySpace, Facebook and Twitter answering questions, dispensing fashion advice and interacting with a pretty big audience. The digital footprint has recently expanded with the launch of www.rachelzoe.com and the introduction of The Zoe Report, Rachel’s free daily newsletter that dispenses fashion trends and product advice. It’s a lot of work but also very rewarding as everyone’s really responded positively and enjoys our digital efforts.

Last thing. How hot did my wife look in that Marie Claire photo shoot? My favorite look was the boho chic number – I think that’s the same dress that Brad said looked like Granny’s?

HI,

I like the show....I also believe that Taylor needs more credits regarding all the hard work she does for Rachel, she seems to be very confident regarding her skills.... I like Brad and Taylor especially when they get along...Brad is a very charming young man...

LOVE LOVE LOVE THE SHOW !!! I eagerly await every new show, and never want the season to end.

After watching every episode, I have come to the conclusion, that you should encourge Rachel to let Taylor go do her own thing, she a very hard worker, but a martyr... She is not a supportive force for Rachel business, it's so obvious, that she does not enjoy what she is doing, Brad on the other hand loves what he is doing and will learn in time, He still has to develop forsight !!!... Negativity is contagious !!! You are a wonderful husband, and you are doing a great job, keeping her spirits up... looking forward to more.....

I LOVE WATCHING RACHEL..IVE SEEN HER ON THE VIEW, REGIS AND KELLY AND OF COURSE HER SHOW...I THINK PEOPLE ARE JUST JEALOUS OF HER...THEY WANT WHAT SHE HAS...A HUSBAND WHO LOVES HER, TRUELY LOVES HER AND SHOWS IT IN EVERY EPISODE..I HAVE MY HUSBAND WATCH TOO... JUST SO HE CAN SEE THE EXAMPLE RODGER IS FOR RACHEL....ESPECAILLY HIS PATIENCE AND UNDERSTANDING..I'M A CONTROL FREAK MYSELF...I HAVE A FAMILY AND HAVE TO RUN THE SHOW IN MY HOUSE...GIVING UP CONTROL IS TOUGH SOMETIME SO I UNDERSTAND HOW RACHEL FEELS..THANKS FOR BEING SO REAL AND TRUE ON THE SHOW..I'M SURE IT HELPS ALL THE WOMEN OUT THERE...RODGER NEVER CHANGE YOUR AMAZING INSIDE AND OUT!!!!!!! P.S RACHEL YOU ARE A BEAUTIFUL PERSON INSIDE AND OUT..DON'T LET THE PRESS BRING YOU DOWN...YOU HAVE THE BEST SUPPORT AROUND YOU...EMBRACE THAT..

Rodger you rock! It seems like groovy secure supportive nice guy husbands are FINALLY getting the much deserved recognition that NICE GUY HUSBANDS ARE SUPER SEXY!!!! I for one (who is happily married to a sexy nice guy myself, so relax Rachel) am extremely happy about this development. First Paul Child (Julia Child's husband) of the Julia and Julie movie, and now YOU! Hooray. I love Rachel, she is such a maniac, she completely cracks me up. That girl's gotta eat something though! Get her a roast beef sandwich ASAP!

Rodger, Rodger, Rodger. I understand that you want the company to be up on all the latest 'tech' gadgets. i have been wanting to change my phone because it's from Verizon and it takes and sends pics, messages and calls. i want to upgrade to a better, newer, phone. I mentioned this to my husband a few months ago and he said "go look for one". i told that i found one (at that time it was the storm,of course it's probably changed by then). NOW we don't have the money. i followed him around for a few weeks telling him about this phone. "Nope can't have one" he wasn't concerned at all that now it has become a necessity because Rachel Zoe is tweeting. (don't ask...he drives a truck bringing gas to gas stations) i have been on the sofa all week so far. i want my new phone. he wants to pay the bills. meanwhile i'm missing everything that's going on with the Rachel Zoe campers! So i just wanted to thank you for causing me to sleep maybe 3 hours since Monday. and i think that the Viewer above this post doesn't understand how important Brad is. To keep Rachel laughing and acting like "brad" to do that,,it's a job all on it's own. i think if taylor went with Rachel to see the clients,,,oh wait, i can't comment on the TWITTER because i don't have one and will never get one!! thanks again, Rodger! (this is my happy face) email me. i'll give you my address.

luv the BoHo dress so much. Please let me know where I can get it. I'm going to the Virgin Islands for vacation and it would be perfect! Also, Rachael...I'm just as thin and get degrading looks all the time. I'm ill and can't help it...I guess that's what some people do when they're narrow minded. Chin up...you look great!

I loved the boho chic dress, where can I get one or who makes it?

Rodger, thank you for pushing Rachel to get on the web! She'll see that she may get bad press, but her fans love her despite what is in print!

They knock her for being too skinny and the lady down the street for being too big. Women need to stand up to the idiots who are making these judgment calls.

I would just like to say: I think you have such an incredible spirit. When I see you on the show, and the way you quietly watch your wife. It's heart warming to me. You can literally see your emotioons flow when you look at her. Where's your cape...?
Sincerely, eb

qhich issue of marie claire was rachel in?

Rodger,

You're a great supporter, business partner and (more importantly)husband...Rachel is truly blessed. Keep up the great work, love to see you in epsiodes you are so mellow and calming it actually chills me out too!

I agree about the Boho Chic number, at first I thought No don't wear that, but in the end it was my favorite, all the outfits looked great.

Rodger, you're a wonderful husband and very support of Rachael. Hmmm, when are we going to see a little one runnignaorund in vintage layettes lol

can someone please tell me what month was the maire claire that zoe comes out in?? please!!

During the whole episode, you saw Taylor working, Rachel can obviously trust her to get things done back at the studio. I think Brad gets away with alot because of his charm, but in reality, you hardly see him working. I think Taylor needs more credit, who would want to go out with people you work with after spending all day doing work. I think its great that you created the twitter account and all that stuff for Rachel, it definetely helps get your side out.
