Today, we thought it might be nice to bring you a fun Sunday Styles piece. Y'know, in case you spent yesterday eating plantains and dancing in the streets instead of reading the paper. Llola Ogunnaike spent the day shopping with our new favorite crew, The Hills stars Lauren Conrad and Heidi Montag.
Audience patronizing aside (three paragraphs explaining what Laguna Beach is and reviving rumors of scripted television), the article follows, much in the way the cameras do, LC and Heidi and they browse shoes and jewelry, all while chatting about their lives.
And while the chatter skips over the good parts — as in no mention of Stephen or Jason (did Lola even watch this show?)— the piece does hit up Teen Vogue editor and LC's boss Lisa Love for some insider dish on how LC landed her mag internship after practically failing out of high school and her first college.
"I hadn't seen the show before, so I didn't know what to expect," said Lisa Love, Vogue's West Coast editor, "but she was a very good interview. She knew photographers, she knew magazines, she knew why she wanted to work at Teen Vogue."
Did the presence of cameras help Ms. Conrad? "If I didn't like her, she definitely would not have gotten an internship, regardless of what the cameras wanted," Ms. Love said. "She had to pass the test."
So, if you want to be like LC, it's still possible. Just make sure to read magazines, and have your parents' black AmEx card at your disposal so that you never show up wearing the same thing to the office twice.

As I recall, in her interview she said something along the lines of, "Well…I read Vogue. And uh, Teen Vogue" and when asked if she was a good writer replied, "Well…I enjoy writing." Good to see that the world doesn't discriminate against the vapid C students of the world.
Hey I absolutely LOVE the show the Hills and I so wanted to go to the Art Instutute Of NYC but once I saw that show I wanted to do exactlly what Lauren did … get an Internship at Teen Vouge
Maybe it's my inner cynical side; but I wonder if the blond hair helped getting her the internship… Is this a reality show or not?!

I enjoy watching the show, although I do get frustrated sometimes because of decision the cast makes… I guess that makes TV. I can’t help but think it must be nice to have things handed to you on a silver platter, but that is life of the rich and famous right? I still feel that the show is lacking a few things (email me MTV if you would like any suggestions).
