Getting the blood going

There are certain TV shows that we just LOVE to watch - which inspired us for work. It's not because the work shown on those shows are the same type of work that we do, but more because the people are passionate about their work, they have been highly stylized (hello - TV) and also because you're literally looking into their work environment, observe their work tools (mostly macs) and see some awesome work habits/mannerisms. It's just great to watch work ambition and passion! Here's a list of the latest TV obsessions:
Kell On Earth, Bravo (sadly - season is ending super soon!)
Project Runway (talk about passion . . . )
The City (new season starts April 27th - more Cutrone for us!)
The Celebrity Apprentice (just to watch all of the different leadership styles and to discuss how the project should have been managed)

One of our favorite things to discuss are the characters from these shows and how they handled their various challenges. We love to watch to Kelly Cutrone's antics on Kell On Earth and to watch how she manages her office and her business which she completely built herself. Totally helps that it is centered around the fashion PR business. Kelly also shines as the mentor on The City for Whitney Port. But, what's also so delicious about that show is the behind the scenes insight of Elle magazine with Erin,  Olivia and Joe Zee. These shows are WAY more fun to discuss than The Celebrity Apprentice, but we're liking that show for Cyndi Lauper. She is AMAZING. Project Runway is also good discussion because of the passion that the designers and judges bring to the show.

Too much TV is a time waste, but good TV that you can learn from and take inspiration back to the office with is totally worth the time.
