America's Next Top Abused Assistant

January 30, 2008 | 12:18 pm

Abfab Hey, want to see what it takes to make chic everyday? Tyra Banks is developing a new show for the CW that will determine who's got the goods to be an assistant at a fashion magazine.  Over at Vogue, I hear that Anna Wintour loathes girls with puffy ankles who undervalue the importance of a good blow-out. I have a friend who interviewed with Wintour and later heard that she didn't get hired because her belt wasNmx05rk_mh "off."

I can't wait to see the challenges Tyra and co. cook up for these poor plebes. Here's one: Walk seventeen city blocks in these YSL platform pumps -- and bring back a fat-free soy latte that's still piping hot. Move!
