Our Interns Liked Party for Reality-TV Assistants

When the invitation came in to cover the premiere party for Soapnet's new reality show about assistants, it only seemed appropriate to have our own editorial interns take on the job. (They had already fact-checked more than 1,000 listings for our upcoming venue guide, so it only seemed fair to let them have a little fun.) Here's their report:

The drama stayed on-screen Tuesday night as the screening and premiere party for The Fashionista Diaries, Soapnet's new reality show about six assistants beginning their careers in the fashion industry, went off without a hitch. Event host Erin Weir, director of promotions for Soapnet, decided that the show should begin with a real-life experience that introduced the cast on-screen and off, as they were all in attendance. "It's always fun to watch a show in a big group," she said.

Tiffany Iino, vice president of creative services for Soapnet parent Disney/ABC, approached Richard Venezio, president and creative director of Events Forum Inc., to handle event production and Russell Harris of Los Angeles-based Russell Harris Event Group to do the design. "We've worked together before," Harris said of Venezio, and their seasoned teamwork showed in the event's cohesiveness. MORE >>
