Are there any kindred spirits out there who obsess over  Bravo’s reality TV series “The Rachael Zoe Project?” While half the time I’m glued to the tube shaking my head thinking “I cannot believe she said/did/wore that,” I also can’t help but drool over the countless racks of designer clothes and shoes that show up in every episode, and the endless parade of celebrities. It’s eye candy— at its finest.

While I was hoping for a live interview with Zoe for a story I was working on about her new fall accessories collection for QVC (Really, just to hear her say “Bananas!”), I had to settle for email correspondence facilitated by her publicists due to her “hectic schedule.” Alas, it could of course only be an email interview lest we ruin the celebrity mystique, no?

And while we’re on the topic of celebrities and fashion, here’s another piece I wrote on Lauren Conrad for the Chronicle this weekend, in case you’ve been dying to know what the tween queen has been doing since “The Hills.” Come on, admit it.
