Marie Claire's Reality

Marie Claire’s reality TV show, Running in Heels, came to an end last night (tear). For those that didn’t get around to watching, the show followed three women as they interned for the magazine. There were no staged challenges, no weekly eliminations. In fact, the show had a very real feel to it. Well, as real as reality TV can get.

In the end, former intern Talita was chosen and will serve as the magazine’s west coast contributor. We are beyond relieved that whiny, aggressively competitive Ashley was not chosen. We loved Samantha’s personality, and think it’s great that in the end she viewed it as a learning experience and realized that the magazine industry was not for her.

It’s apparent that Marie Claire is trying to up their fashion game and appear more relevant to stylish twenty-somethings. After taking a behind the scenes look at Marie Claire and falling in love with Editor-in-chief Joanna Coles, we’ll admit that now we’re more likely to leaf through the mag.
