How to Rock a Fashion Victim

So, what do you think? Honestly? - Ewe.
- Yeah.
Whats that? This is what I'm going to be wearing for my summer job.
My parents are making me work at my uncle's carpet cleaning business.
Because according to them I can't count on a career as a world famous pop diva it's not "Practical".
Come on cleaning carpet's won't be that bad.
Hi Kacey, jail much? Yeah, we're going to find you a better job.
Yeah, we will.
Ugh, what's in this? Is this meat? - Could be yam.
- Oh, good thought it was a toe.
I can't rule out toe.
You know what? I've had enough enough! I'm mad as heck, and I'm not gonna take it anymore.
Iverne.
I am done chocking down your so-called food.
From now on, I'm making my own lunch.
So you can take back this tray, because you have plopped your crud on my plate For the last time.
Trays must be returned to the empties receptacle.
[Chuckles.]
I'm making a symbolic gesture.
Make your symbolic gesture at the empties receptacle.
Next.
- Let it be known - You need to get out of here! Next.
Dude, good idea.
I think bringing your own lunch is making a great point.
You really think so? Absolutely, but you know what would make an even better point? Make a lunch for me too, eh? And me.
Quick note I don't do olives.
Grocery store bagger, dog walker Babysitter, I mean, those are practical.
Yeah, and two of them involve poop.
No, thank you.
Look.
Look! A summer internship with Marcel Girard.
- The fashion designer? - Yes.
He's having a design contest Friday, and the winner gets the internship.
This is perfect.
I mean, if I can't be a world-famous singer, then my fallback can be world-famous fashion designer.
- Now you're being practical.
- Thank you.
Kacey, do you even know anything about designing clothes? What's there to know? I mean, I pick things up quickly.
I'm a natural, like when I played chess for the first time and beat Nelson.
Ah, yeah.
And I didn't just beat him.
- I creamed him.
- Okay.
Checkmate in, like, seven moves.
Look, we all know the story! It still stings, huh? Yes.
[Upbeat pop music.]
Only you can be you.
Only I can be me.
You always want to be what you're not.
Can't you be happy with what you've got? You're perfect the way you are.
With your insecurities, flaws, and scars.
Your life's too short to worry.
Don't you know it's true.
Only you can be you.
Only I can be me.
Only you can be you.
Only I can be me.
Only you can be you.
Only I can be me.
Only you can be you.
Only I can be me.
I can be me.
These are the meatballs of the Gods.
Oh, no, the Gods can get their own meatballs, because they ain't getting mine.
Kevin, do I detect a hint of rosemary? You do.
As well as roasted garlic and coriander.
Oh.
Yeah, that's right.
Food is my calling.
Food is my passion, in fact Until Kacey comes to her senses, food is my lady.
[Sniffs.]
What is that smell? That scrumptious smell, I must know at once.
That would be my patented meatball sub.
I have to have one.
Please! Sorry, Andy, no extras.
Come on.
Money is no object.
- $5 for a half.
- Sold! You're all set.
Dude! I'm sorry, Nelson, but don't you see, this is a huge business opportunity.
You're right.
Kids around here are starving for good food.
And you make good food.
Am I right, Andy? Mm! Okay, girl, you're going out Saturday night.
And you want to look great, but you also want to be comfortable.
Ooh, that's interesting.
Okay, now you're breaking all the rules.
[Laughs.]
I like this.
Are you feeling it? I'm feeling it.
Kacey? It doesn't feel anything because it doesn't have a head.
I'm sorry.
You don't understand the artistic process.
But uh, I'm finding inspiration, and the fabric is telling me what it wants to be.
Is the fabric telling you that you're crazy? I've got it! Ha, all right.
The design contest is this Friday.
And you're just now starting to sew? I had to be inspired first.
But now that I'm inspired, the rest is easy.
Okay, I'm going to lunch.
Oh, I'll come with you.
[Fabric rips.]
Ah, uh, you know what? I'm just, um, I'm gonna stay here.
You sewed your sleeve to the sewing machine, didn't you? What? No, I didn't.
I didn't.
If I did, I meant to.
[Fabric rips.]
I did, and I meant to.
Let's do this.
[Beat boxing.]
Here we go.
Are you hoping for a healthy lunch that'll satisfy your wishes? My name is Kevin Reed, and my food is most delicious.
Put my money where my mouth is, it's not just bravado.
- Taste my turkey, ham panini and - Avocado.
I got penne bolognese.
I've got veggie dogs with mustard.
For dessert I'm serving pecan pie with cold Banana custard.
So line up now, you will feel you died and went to heaven.
Let me be your chef today, enjoy a little slice of Kevin.
I want the veggie dog.
If I don't have the pecan pie, my life will be without meaning.
How pathetic.
The students here are sheep.
It's embarrassing.
Yeah.
It doesn't smell terrible though.
Yeah.
If I don't get one of those paninis, I'm gonna eat my arm off.
Go! Okay, no pushing.
It's first come, first served.
Oh, excuse me? Can I get two paninis, please? - Hi.
- Let the lady through! Move! Move! [Ominous music.]
Welcome to modeling boot camp.
You may think you know something about modeling.
Well, I'm here to tell you, you know nothing about modeling.
Don't push it, Kacey.
We're only doing this so we can meet Marcel Girard.
And FYI, I've modeled before.
When I was three, I was a lion in a Halloween catalog.
[Hushed roar.]
Okay.
Models, when the music starts, here's what I want you to do.
Andy.
[Hip-hop music.]
Yeah! Get up, get up, y'all! Andy, for the last time, you're not DJ'ing.
You're just pushing a button.
This is whack.
Here's what I want you to do.
Simple, right? Okay, Molly, show me what you got.
Good, good.
More teeth.
Butt out.
Hands on hips.
Butt out further.
All right, Grace, go.
And turn.
And strut.
And pout.
More pouting.
Okay, less pouting just, like, dial it back by half.
Okay, no pouting.
No pouting.
Connor, go.
All right, Molly and Grace, step out and turn and flank Connor.
Miles, start down the runway.
Molly, walk backwards and turn to Miles.
And then I want Molly and Connor to turn and pose.
Okay, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop.
You're not you're not getting it.
There's nothing to get.
You're just yelling random instructions at us.
I'm sorry.
[Chuckles.]
What modeling school did you go to? What modeling teaching school did you go to? There's no such thing, ha, so I win.
Back to one, people.
and caramelized onions up.
[Irons sizzle.]
Now remember, gently brown them.
Don't let me see blackened.
Mm-hmm, pasta needs one more minute.
[Chimes ring.]
My mac and cheese pastry puffs! Hey, guys, can you try and keep it down? I'm trying to focus here.
Ow! Ah, you pricked me with that pin.
Don't move.
I'm sorry, but I move when people prick me with pins.
Sorry.
Zander, you understand fashion.
What do you think? Be honest.
Well, it's it's nice.
It's, uh, it's a toga, right? No, it's not a toga.
But Stevie's not wearing it right.
How could I not be wearing it right? You've pinned it to my flesh.
Well, I feel like it could use a little more visual interest, you know, like a pattern or something.
White is the theme of my collection.
It's my favorite part.
You know, the piece that's wadded up around the armpit looks a little odd.
That piece is my favorite part.
Well, maybe if the neckline wasn't so baggy.
The neckline is my favorite part.
- Your designs are fantastic.
- You're a genius.
Thanks for your honesty, guys.
That's all I was asking for.
[Beat boxing.]
Delicious.
If you hunger for linguine, fettuccine, or rotini.
Varieties of sauces from the zesty to the.
- Creamy.
- Now I hope that you've enjoyed it.
'Cause I'm telling you it's all.
We sold it all, there ain't no more.
- Come back.
- Tomorrow.
Sorry, everyone, but we are sold out.
[Groaning.]
Online preorders are coming soon, baby.
It's all good.
Hey.
Oh, hey, I thought you were helping Kacey out.
I don't know what to do anymore.
Her designs are terrible.
Well, we could take the easy way out and keep telling her her designs are great, and let her crash and burn at the fashion show.
- Easy way sounds good.
- I'm down with that.
Or We do what good friends do, sit her down and tell her the truth straight up.
That's what we've got to do.
- All right.
- Good friends.
Oh.
Congratulations.
I see business is booming.
Ha, well, that's right.
Boom! Ah.
Sure is a shame you couldn't make enough of your food to satisfy everybody.
I'm sure gonna miss your little cart when it's gone.
You can't intimidate me.
I'm not going anywhere.
Ha.
[Bell rings.]
Well, uh, I got to go to biology, but, uh, you know what I mean.
Help! I can't get out of here.
Ah, come on, Grace.
I'm in a real crunch here.
The fashion show is tomorrow.
I still have a lot of work to do if I'm gonna get that internship.
I'm trying.
Where's the head hole? It hasn't taken me this long to put on a dress since I was three.
And not like three, almost four, I'm talking three and a day.
Here.
Here.
Here are your sleeves.
Just put your arms in and That's not good.
Um, okay, I mean, I guess that I can just, uh I can, uh I can get some thread, and then I guess I can sew [Sighs.]
Oh, who am I kidding? These clothes are a disaster.
I mean, I am a disaster.
[Sighs.]
I'm terrible at this.
Wow, I should be loving this but This is just too awful to be fun, even for me.
[Whimpering.]
I kind of want to cry.
Kacey Look, there's something you need to hear, and you're not gonna like it.
- But as your friends, I feel that - Friends? If you were my friends, you would have just been honest about what a terrible designer I am.
What made me think that I could do this? I am such an idiot.
- Oh, come on.
- Kacey.
[Huffs.]
Well, she is not a low-maintenance friend.
I found the head hole! Look.
I'm sorry I exploded at you guys.
This is just so surreal, I mean, I've never been bad at anything before, like, that time that I beat Nelson at chess.
Okay, rematch right here, right now.
How insensitive.
Look, Kacey A lot of things come naturally to you, but you can't expect that to happen all the time.
She's right, Kacey.
I struggled to achieve greatness as a chef.
One time I tried to make flaming cherry jubilee Caught the ceiling on fire.
But I didn't give up.
The second time I made it, I only caught a couple of napkins on fire.
But the third time, nothing burned but my eyebrows.
You're right, but the fashion show is tomorrow.
I can't do this.
You're Kacey Simon.
You can do anything if you set your mind to it.
I'm gonna need help.
You've got help.
Just don't be pushy and impossible.
- I'm gonna need help.
- Great.
[Machine whirs.]
Oh.
I'm I'm sorry.
Did we wake you? Yes.
- What are you guys doing? - Pureeing tomato sauce.
So you guys pulled an all-nighter, huh? We did, but we came up with some awesome outfits.
Congratulations, Kacey.
All right, now come on, guys.
We have 400 servings of lasagna to make.
Well, yeah, the only way we're gonna beat Iverne, is if we make twice as much food four times as fast.
All right, ready the pump.
- Ready.
- Release the marinara.
[Spray nozzle hisses.]
Oh.
[Screaming.]
It's not so bad.
[Spray nozzle hisses.]
- Oh, ah.
- Ah! - Ah.
- Dude, point it the other way.
[Spray nozzle hisses.]
Ah, ah.
[Spits.]
How about we just turn it off? [Gasps.]
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
Okay, in our defense, she knows we cook in there.
Dude, how is that in our defense? She stayed up all night, working on something she cared about, and we just went and sprayed marinara sauce on it.
True, but in our defense, the marinara sauce had a nice, silky consistency.
That is even less in our defense.
Kevin, this lasagna is kind of bland.
I don't think it's cooked all the way.
Of course it is; It's delicious.
Mm-hmm.
Delish.
There's a guitar pick in mine.
I got a peanut and a button.
[Groaning.]
Oh, man, we're losing people, guys.
Yeah, and we got 150 more servings of this stuff.
- Zander, quick, give me a beat.
- Wa-wa-wait up.
Attention, hungry people.
Y'all get back in the line.
I guarantee you my lasagna is insanely divine.
So get your cash out, prepare to be a glutton.
Totally accidentally ate a peanut and a button.
That was pretty good.
[Chuckling.]
It's working.
- It's not working.
- It is working.
- It is not working.
- Yeah, it's not working.
It is working.
Wait.
Did I just switch sides? No, no, no, no, no.
You guys can't bail on me.
I need you on that runway.
Kacey, we can't be seen in these clothes.
They have to be perfect.
I throw out an outfit if a bug lands on it.
She does, yeah.
Hey, Molly, lasagna? Five pounds for $1.
- No.
- That's actually a pretty good deal.
- No! - Okay.
We're really sorry about ruining your clothes, Kacey.
It was totally our fault.
Thank you.
I mean, but, hey, we both hit a bump in the road today.
But we can't give up on our dreams.
Hmm, I don't know.
I mean, what's the point? I have no models and no clothes.
Well, I'll be honest.
I was never a huge fan of the white.
I think this splash of color really makes the clothes pop.
Nice try, Nelly.
No, no, wait.
I can't get the colors out, but I can put more colors in.
- Yes.
- That's a great idea.
All right, let's get these clothes off the forms, and let's get to work.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Is someone gonna say, "Nelson, you're a genius"? I was going to, but now I'm not going to.
That was Lily Finnerty's collection.
Thank you, Lily.
[Applause.]
Marcel Girard? Fancy seeing you here.
At an event with my name on it? Ha.
Right, oh, Marcel, silly, silly me.
But, I mean, what do you expect? My friend and I are models, not geniuses.
Oh, um, perhaps you're familiar with my catalog work? [Hushed roar.]
Oh, of course, you were the, uh no.
Our next young designer is Kacey Simon.
[Applause.]
Thank you.
First up, we have Stevie, dressed for a night on the town in a sleeveless chiffon blouse and a ruffled jersey skirt.
Where is she going? She won't tell.
And here comes Zander, dressed to impress in cuffed white jeans and a chic two-pocket shirt.
Look out behind you, Zander.
You're being chased by a pack of wild girls.
Just kidding.
Oh, and Kevin is ready to spring into summer with his cargo knee-length pants and cotton voile shirt.
Which way to the muscle beach, Kevin? Ah, that a way.
[Giggles.]
And who is this reluctant debutante? Why, that is no lady.
It is Nelson.
On a crazy dare, he went into his sister's closet and came out with a flowing halter dress with a drawstring waist.
Hi, Nelson.
Hi, Grace.
- He's actually very pretty.
- He is.
[Applause.]
Miss Simon, very interesting designs.
- Really? - Thank you, Mr.
Girard.
I don't know why, but something about your collection makes me hungry.
Weird.
Amelie, get me lasagna.
Look for five bucks, I can get you a pound of All right, we must be going now.
But thank you so much.
- Bye-bye.
- Three bucks.
Two bucks and I'll feed it to you.
Mm-hmm, the chili needs more salt.
Incoming.
Plop! Hey, guys.
- Hey.
- Oh, hey, Kacey.
Did you win? I did not win, but I will clean any three carpets for $39.
99.
- What about this one? - Definitely not that one.
- I'm so sorry you didn't win, Kacey.
- That's okay.
Thank you, guys, so much for bailing me out.
And you guys were great models.
And I did learn a valuable lesson today.
Don't put your white clothes next to a marinara cannon? I learned two valuable lessons today.
I mean, I shouldn't assume that I'll just automatically be great at everything.
Some things take hard work most things.
But the problem with thinking that you're so great is that You never try to make yourself better.
That's actually kind of profound, says the man who "looks pretty in a dress.
" - Oh! - Yeah! [Laughter.]
[Chuckles.]
You know, I got to say, Kacey, you are rocking that jumpsuit.
Thank you, Kevin, but I think you're crazy.
Oh, I think you could rock it even more.
Come on.
Hands on your hips.
Now strut.
- Own that runway, girl.
- Yes, pout pout more, girl.
Work those eyebrows.
- Work 'em.
- Woo.
- Oh, yeah.
- Yes, make that magic.
Making the magic on the runway.
[Beat boxing.]
Here we go.
It's really tasty, I'm not being silly.
So step right on up and get a steaming bowl of Ah, forget it.
Well, how come nobody wants our chili? I'll tell you why.
Your food was great at first, but now it's kind of bland and terrible and not worth eating.
Well, don't sugarcoat it, Andy.
No, Andy's right.
We got so obsessed with quantity that we forgot what got us here in the first place - Quality.
- Oh, no.
My ambition has turned me into that which I despise most.
- You don't mean - Yes.
I am Iverne.
[Cackling.]
No! I'm gonna go get some fish sticks.
- Yeah, go get 'em.
- Get me some.
