Review of Fashionably L.A.

This film is hilarious, like Christopher Guest. Back in the 90's and early 2000's, Hollywood Video would distribute Independent films at their store from struggling filmmakers and Independent Film festivals. Despite its low budget, this was one of the best Mockumentaries on the fashion world I have seen, next to William Klein's Who are you Polly Magoo? The shallowness, cruelty and vanity of the fashion world is shown honestly and the actors are all great for such a low budget production, you feel bad and empathize for how terribly they're treated, much like Victoria's Secret models are by Les Wexner. The lead fumbles her way through embarrassing situations, such as a poorly managed fashion show at a shopping mall, trashy B-movie film auditions, photoshoots and the mockery and sexism of the general public. (Which how people were in the 1990's) Also, the film is a parody of pretentious B&W Sundance and IFC Documentaries that glamorize the Fashion World. I'm certain that Naomi Campbell would hate it, which makes it an even better reason to track this film down. There are some great one liners like "Erkle has more talent in his penis, than the 2 of you do in your whole entire bodies." That would be one of the funniest put downs and insults I've heard in any film. But Erkle is talented, and this was before Black Dynamite. Best in Show, This is Spinal Tap and Fashionably LA are the 3 best Mockumentaries I've seen. " Now I've got to audition for a movie with strippers and naked space aliens.", says the lead. Forgotten obscurity, begging to be rediscovered and quite hilarious.
