Back to Basics with Talita Silva from “Running in Heels”

Monday, April 20th, 2009

If you caught the final episode of the Style network’s new hit Running in Heels tonight, you know that what was once supposed to be a documentary-style show about three Marie Claire interns in NYC ended up being something of a competition: Only one of them was chosen to continue working at the famous fashion pub. The winner was the fabulous Talita Silva, and I had a chance to sit down with her in LA this weekend, just hours before the finale aired.

We talked about who she is versus who was portrayed on camera, her real opinions on the other interns, and the twists of reality TV in general. Of course I made her spill about her dating life, and she shows us some of her awesome tats. She talks a bit about her past, about what made her who she is today, and how she stays true to herself in a high-pressure, image-driven industry.

Plugging Shit My Friends (AND Lisa D’Amato!!!) Do: “Running in Heels” and “Trainwreck”

Today has been QUITE a day for my friends.

First off, my gorgeous and amazing and always fashion-forward friend Talita Silva is starring in the new Style network show, Running in Heels, which follows her trials and travails as an intern at Marie Claire. Talita and I were way tight when we both lived in LA, and it was always her dream to move to NYC and work in the fashion business out there. She up and did it right after I moved to Seattle, and, DAMN, when Talita does something, she does it right! Less than a year and the bitch has a fucking TV show! What a total testament to her talent and her drive, both of which she has in abundance, in addition to being a true friend who I’ve always felt like I could talk to about anything. She’s definitely the next Rachel Zoe. Talita, you are soooo styling me for free! You can check out Talita’s MySpace fan page here or check out her Style network blog about the show here.

I logged on to MySpace for the first time, in, oh, a decade, so I could join Talita’s fan page, and of course I have a zillion messages (sorry if you emailed me on there!). One of them was sent back in February, from my friend Jessica, who’s a dancer for Lisa D’Amato. Jess is the hot blonde thing in the middle, and Lisa’s on the left.

Now, if you’ve read this site for awhile, you know how much I love Lisa D’Amato, the ANTM castoff-turned-rapper. She’s so genius. She can do no wrong in my book. The beautiful (and naturally that skinny! It never seemed fair!) Jessica stars in Lisa’s new video from her upcoming album. The song’s called “Trainwreck,” and Jess’s email asked if I could plug it on the site. OF COURSE I CAN! I’M ONLY SORRY IT TOOK ME SO LONG TO FIND OUT ABOUT IT! So, ladies and gentlemen, without further ado, Lisa D’Amato, the fabulous Jessica Kauffman, and “Trainwreck”!!!
