We hate the idea of Vanessa and Angela living on separate coasts (again), but we gotta admit: we're psyched about Angie/Jess' move to NYC! Sure, they're puttin' the Pastry biz on hold and, okay, Jess will probably have her nose in a law book for the next three years, but with these two living together, ya know it's gonna be good!
+ Think Jess and Angela deserve their own NYC spinoff (you know, while Vanessa does the acting thing in L.A.)? Take our poll and tell us whether you'd watch a show starring two cousins -- and one swingin' bachelorette pad!
After all that talk about opening a flagship store, Angela, Vanessa and Jess decided to put their Pastry plans on hold while they pursued other interests. And while we're excited for their new adventures (like Vanessa's play and Jessica/Angela's NYC digs), we're kinda bummed we won't be able to see all those amazing shoes in one place!
+ Think the girls were right to take a Pastry timeout? Or should they have held off on all that other shtuff 'til they had the new store up and running? Take our poll and tell us whether the girls (and Rev Run!) made the right call by deciding NOT to set up shop!
Watching Vanessa and Angela Simmons now, it's hard to believe they're the same girls who fought with their younger sibs (and, well, each other) back on Run's House. And while some things never change ('member the Danielle debacle on Daddy's Girls?), these days the sisters are living large as best friends, roomies and co-founders of Pastry!
Check out how far the Simmons gals have come since their MTV debut and tune in tonight for the Season Two finale of Daddy's Girls!
It's not easy to go from casual wear to VMA glam. And since we loves us a good success story, we gave the Simmons sistahs (and, of course, Jess) a flip-cam to give y'all a behind-the-scenes look at their beautification process. Watch Angela, Vanessa and Jess scramble for the camera, show off their designer duds (Pastry, anyone??) and make their way down to Radio City. Then after the jump, hear the Daddy's Girls sound off about their sexy red carpet style.
Okay, so Angela wasn't exactly ready to tear up the turntables tonight, but that doesn't mean we've seen the last of DJ Mouse! With a little hard work and dedication, Rev Run's daughter might learn to rock out without the use of the preset button. And we plan to be there (with camcorders) when she finally shows off her skillz.
In fact, we can already see it now: Rev Run (dressed head-to-toe in Pastry) could introduce his daughter, DJ Mouse, while she spins her brother's latest Team Blackout record to a sold-out crowd of Run's House/Daddy's Girls fans ... at Vanessa's next film premiere!
Hey, maybe there really IS something 'bout those Simmons genes!
After two years in L.A., Angela and Vanessa are ready for bigger and better things. And they've got plenty of ideas on how to take Pastry to the next level! But is it too soon to think about expanding their biz? Take the poll and tell us whether you guys think the Simmons' girls should play it safe -- or take a risk! -- by going into retail.
Angela and Vanessa are back for a brand-new season of Daddy's Girls! And the Pastry biz is sweeter than ever, thanks to Jess' amazing managerial skills. But now that the girls are dreaming big, they'll have to work even harder to stay on top. Which means NO distractions! Well, except for their friend Lynn. And Vanessa's new boyfriend. And Angela's childhood bestie. (And her little dog, too.)
Fortch, the girls still have Rev Run to call on in a pinch, plus plenty of other things (did we mention Vanessa's new boyfriend??) to keep them busy. So check out what's going down on DG and tune in August 11th at 10pm for the Season Two premiere!
When it comes to anniversaries, Angela and Vanessa don't mess around. Which is why they plunked down a hefty $15,000 deposit, hired a top-notch event planner and spent a boatload of Benjamins to have their big bash at a trendy nightclub (with frou-frou drinks and a live fashion show!). Think the girls went a little overboard? Or was their over-the-top runway show a smashing success? Take our poll and let us know whether the girls' splashy anniversary party was a retailers' dream-- or a My Super Sweet 16 nightmare!
Spotted: Angela Simmons, wearing coke-bottle glasses and dressing like Mary Katherine Gallagher. So has she turned into a fashion victim overnight? Dream on! It's all just part of her master plan. Watch the Pastry cutie (and unabashed Daddy's Girl) get her nerd on in this new sneaker-themed ad (slash-music video) and keep your eyes peeled for cameos from Vanessa, Alicia and Jess. Holla atcha girls!
Erin's big mouth is always getting her into trouble. It's also one of the main reasons why we worship her. And since Miss Lucas seems to have contracted a serious linguistic disorder -- we believe the technical name is "verbal diarrhea" -- we've learned not to take anything she says too seriously. Good thing, too, seeing as how she's been blabbier than eva these days.
Need a recent example of Erin's chronic foot-in-mouthiness? Peep this quote she gave to WalletPop.com about how the recession's changed her life:
