Stylista: It's like a trainwreck

Oh Anne Slowey -- you're no Miranda Priestley, even after throwing your coat and bag at a contestant on "Stylista."

I can't take my eyes off the screener of "Stylista" which premieres at 9 p.m. Wednesday on The CW. It's a campy train wreck full of intriguing questions:
  • How has Elle magazine fashion news director Anne Slowey gotten this far in fashion without knowing how to walk in heels?
  • Will this new reality series replace "Project Runway" in the catty hearts of fashion fiends?
  • How did Tyra Banks' production company convince Elle magazine that participating in this program was a good thing?
  • Shouldn't someone have mentioned to the cast and crew that being a "Devil Wears Prada" knockoff is so 2006 (or even 2003 if you're talking about the book)?
Will I watch the trashtastic, tragic fun? You betcha.
