With Elle's reality show Stylista in the can, The CW screened the first episode on Saturday for critics at the Television Critics Association's event in L.A. If reports are to be believed, it's quite scathing! As we could tell back in May, the show's real appeal comes from fashion news director Anne Slowey, who's Miranda Priestly-d herself into an on-air diva.

Slowey claims to have carried 32 goldfish in 32 separate bowls to a woman's house, without killing them, as part of her duties on Day One at Vogue. She also claims that on Stylista, she's "just being myself." Heh.

But Slowey insists she is not playing a character.

"I'm just being myself," she says, dismissing charges that she is rude or disrespectful to her underlings.

"People perceive honest as mean and it is not . . . I imagine at the White House, they have their own way of speaking to each other which somebody working at a not-for-profit eco fund might find abrupt.

"It is hard to judge people when you are not on the inside."

For a reminder of what Slowey's "self" looks like, there's this.
