Last night's episode of "The City" begins with Whitney preparing looks for a window display at the DVF offices. Ms. von Furstenberg herself arrives to check out the looks, and tells Whitney she is doing a great job. She even pushes Whitney's stray hair behind her shoulder at one point (DVF is touching you!!!). Whitney gushes to Diane "You look beautiful" to which the designer responds laughing "oh no, no, no". So European! And magnificent.
Whitney's boss asks her to decorate the store and the windows for an event DVF is hosting with DC Comics centered around Wonder Woman. SO COOL. I would have given my right arm for an invitation to that party! Olivia is told to "please assist Whitney". Ouch.
At the Wonder Woman party everyone is socializing, drinking champagne, having a wonderful time (isn't that what we all do at work?) when Whitney is introduced to a DVF accountant, Chris. Chris is immediately enamored with Whit (who can blame him! she plays coy better than anyone). Before leaving the party Chris asks Whit to lunch.
The following day Chris and Whitney have lunch and there doesn't seem to be any chemistry between them. Or conversation for that matter. Whit returns to the office and tells the girls "there was no spark". But, she doesn't hesitate to share the news of her lunch date with her non-commital boy toy, Jay. Jay asks in his sexy Australian accent "Are you trying to make me jealous Whitney?". Whit is so pleased with herself she can't keep the grin from spreading ear to ear.
We then switch over to Erin and her boyfriend Duncan. Duncan is from Toronto, and said last week that he would like to move to NYC to be closer to Erin. Erin said she has only ever had long distance relationships, and she likes it that way. This week, when he brings up moving again, she basically says - don't move here, and if you do, don't do it for me. EXCUSE ME ERIN, its girls like you that mess it up for the rest of us! You take a great guy, completely devoted to you, willing to move thousands of miles to be near you, and you cast him aside, without any concern for his feelings, and screw him up so badly that he will treat every girl after this like poo to avoid getting hurt again. Well done, Erin, well done. You should be ashamed of yourself!
The final scene of the show takes us to Whitney's apartment where Jay has come over with a bottle of wine to formally ask Whitney - Will you be my girlfriend? Whitney smiles wide thinking "Thank god I went on that lunch date. Whipped him right into shape!". I couldn't help but notice that Whitney's dress in the final scene was the same color red as the roses on the TV show the Bachelor. Oh the symbolism.
Previews for next week show Jay's roommate Adam, and his model girlfriend getting some serious screen time. Cannot wait to see that they are even more vapid than they already appear. See you next week big apple! CHOMP.
