"The Hills" merges with "The City" : Whitney Port's Spin-off
Tonight, we were at a taping of “The City,” a spin-off series of the wildly popularized LA-based “The Hills,” which is actually a spin-off of the original version of the show “Laguna Beach,” all from the MTV family.
The event was held in honor of two renowned and talented artists, Mike Sagato and Ryder E. Robison, who were exhibiting their latest collections to date with special guests: Claudia Schiffer, Chase Crawford,Taylor Swift, Jay Lyon, Adam Senn, Whitney Port, Olivia Palermo, Jeremy Piven, Danny Masterton, Leighton Meister, Royston Langdon, Bar Rafaelli, Erin Williams, Hilary Rowland, and Caroline Trentini.
In “The City,” Whitney Port, who plays Lauren Conrad’s co-worker turned friend in “The Hills,” ventures away from the Hollywood Hills and in to the land of New York City in pursuit of her Fashion & Styling career.
Seeing her in person, tonight, affirmed my assumptions that she is A) beautiful (that skin!) and B) a seemingly nice and down-to-earth chica. As we hung at 169 Bowery in the Collective Hardware space, it was bizarre to see many of the other characters who are promo’d in the clip for the new series enveloping this event like any other.
“Surrounded by all new friends, pursuing a fresh love life and starting to work in the upper echelon of the fashion industry is a lot to navigate for a new girl in the big city… especially one who has everything to lose,” the press release on the show reads. “In a city full of people with their own agendas, Whitney will have to quickly decide who she can trust and who to stay away from.”
In a statement, Port said: “I am thrilled and honored to be in New York City, not only working for one of the most renowned fashion designers, Diane Von Furstenberg, but to be able to mature as a young woman both professionally and personally.”
Can’t wait to see this episode air! We all signed release forms, so you never know… Jackie, The Obama Girl, Tia Walker or I might make a cameo…
