Nancy- You better WERK bitch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! : )

So Vera won't let soap actors wear her clothes, but she will allow a sex-tape reality star wear one of her wedding dresses?

Seriously? Why would anyone in their right mind turn away business? Well, I guess Ms. Wang is not in her right mind. Such a tacky and unnecessary response to a business inquiry.

Go ahead Nancy Lee Grahn! You have portrayed my favorite TV lawyers for 25+ years across two different soaps!

LMAO not only does she let the queen of porn wear her clothing, she sells at KOHLS. Now Ive shopped at Kohls and theres nothing wrong with Kohls but dont act like your above it all when you make a clothing line specifically for a company thats sort of like department store light.

Hahahahaah GO NANCY GO!!!!

I thought Vera Wang had a Target or Kmart line?? There has to be some tie in to a GH sponsor that should be offended, right?

And yeah, dressing Kim Kardashian is a "big deal these" days. I wonder if she watched Kim's sex tape before or after her first fitting?? Kim is the epitome of class I suppose now. Blech.

I love NLG, she is on a twitter roll tonite, check out her thoughts by looking up #OccupyPortCharles.

Very very little of Vera's clothing impresses me. I can't believe that a sex tape star and her family's show remains on the air. Rick Springfield had it right when he called their show, "Keeping up with the Karcinogens". They bring nothing to the table, but make millions doing it.

Holy Cow! You know NLG wasn't gonna let that one pass. Go get her! Vera Wang is pretentious phony. I detest her accent--and I'm from the Tri-State area. I have to say though, I like the clothing line she does for Khols.

Vera missed out on a paying job..It'll come back to bite her, when her clothes are used for rags. I thought you were suppose to be grateful, not full of yourself.

Vera is truly classless.

Good for NLG, that's crap.

I don't see the big deal with Vera Wang either. Monique Lhuillier's wedding gowns are the real gold standard anyway. They're far more beautiful, romantic, and feminine than almost anything VW's ever released.

Wang's entire new 2012 line of wedding gowns is tan and black, no white at all! The fabrics are harsh and the cuts unflattering. GH is better off.

Score 1 for Nancy! Hell yeah!

Nice of Vera to glop some caviar on her neck for the picture above....

Why would Vera Wang even say that? Not very professional and kudos to NLG for calling her out on it.

So Vera Wang "doesn't do television"? Guess none of her dresses are sold at Kleinfeld's Bridal in NYC on TLC's Say Yes to the Dress, or the Atlanta store in their other series, then?

I have to wonder if they were asking to buy a dress at cost, or below, in exchange for the publicity and that's why they were blown off. Otherwise, who is this stupid to turn away a paying customer, no matter who they are, in this economy?

I am wondering if the dress was for the upcoming Lulu & Dante wedding? If so it was STUPID of Vera to turn this down because JMB's real life wedding was featured in People magazine.It was not as big as Kim Kardashian's wedding but it was a pretty big write up.

She was even ON the Kardashian "show"!! AND she freakin' designs for KOHL'S!! We need to boycott Kohl's Wang too. Not that I wear it. heh

Vera Wang is an elitist, overrated ASSHOLE, just like Rachel Roe and Marc Bouwer, who seem to hate plus-sized models. These idiots get too big for their britches and end up alienating huge fan bases with their mouths. Besides, her crap is too expensive anyway, and if she's willing to turn away business from a show that's been around for almost 50 years, she deserves to be boycotted.

I have never purchased any of her crap, so technically I have always been boycotting her, but I would strongly recommend all of you to follow Nancy's lead and use your purchasing power to show this bitch that she really isn't as great as she thinks she is.......

You know, NLG needs to step away from Twitter. She's a big fish in a dying TV genre. It's Nancy who's not as great as she thinks she is. I would imagine Vera Wang has much more clout than some soap star.

Sad that someone who supposedly designs and sells "beautiful" garments that inspire people to dream about their own "special day", should be revealed as nothing more than shallow, snobby, and ultimately not worth the oxygen it takes to say her name. Some of her design elements are not difficult to recreate as I've "borrowed" them but what do I know?...Brava, NLG...

^5 I knew there was a reason I love you like a play cousin, alstonboy!

On occasion I love me some NLG tweets. This is definitely one of those occasions!

So snob ass Vera Wang passed on an opportunity to have one of her overpriced wedding gowns featured on a show watched by millions of people because she's a pretentious shrew? That's just dumb. And copping this whole elitist attitude about daytime soaps is just so tired and played. Someone needs to remind Wang that her gowns have already been featured on soaps: just because it's primetime or a reality show doesn't mean it's not a soap, boo-boo!

How exactly can Vera Wang have her nose in the air when she hawks products at Kohl's and has a collection featured at David's Bridal, the fucking WalMart/Costco of the wedding industry? I'm not hating, I was a bride on a budget when I got married. My own wedding dress came from there, and people thought my dress cost me a bundle. That's why these fools in the fashion industry are struggling. Still trying to put on airs when the economy is in the toilet. But like one of my favorite SOAP characters said "Pfft....lint"

Can we as soap fan be somewhat realistic, really Vera Wang is one of the top designers and her wedding dress are all that. What does her selling at kohls, target, etc have to do with anything it just shows that she has made a portion of her line availabe to the everyday consumer.

Why did she designer a dress for Kim because millions of people would be seeing her design not only on tv in multi broadcast but in print, why won't she allow GH to have one of her dresses which maybe from her private label is because sorry to say this but its GH, who cares about GH besides its fans. Do you really think Vera Wang cares if Nancy is calling her out, she sells million dollar dress, designers dresses for the top entertainers, and royalty really a soap star calling for boycott of Vera Wang wedding dress I don't see it happening.

Yet,she could have been more respectful towards GH costumer, it never hurts to be polite and decent.

I think Vera Wang is overrated. But I am just not a fan of her designs but who cares about this really. And we are only hearing NLG's cryptic tweets on twitter. Do we know the real story?

All NLG is doing as usual is avoiding the repeated questions people are sending her about Garin Wolf and how she feels about his writing now since she was such a cheerleader when Guza was fired and she/Alexis still aren't getting anything but nonsense about Alexis suffering from menopause.

I guess I'm not a friend of Nancy's then, cause I like Vera Wang. Do I defend what she did? No. Do I think what she did was tacky & unprofessional? Yes. Will it stop me from liking, appreciating, & admiring her designs? No. I love fashion. I'm a total fashionista. I love my soaps, but I'm not going to stop liking a designer just because they dismissed one. And just because Vera has a low end line at Khol's doesn't mean anything. LOTS of high end designers are doing low end lines like... Rachel Roy, Nicole Miller, Tracy Reese, Chloe'. Not to mention the TONS of designers who partner with Target & Macy's. I'm still blown away by "the man" of fashion, Karl Lagerfeld, teaming with Macy's this Fall season. So, it's kind of a mute point because the designers still have their high end lines (in essence they can still be pricey, choosey, & elitist). On the flip side... I find it really cool & interesting that Oscar De La Renta has a lot of couture pieces featured on GH. Tracy wears his designs frequently & Brenda's wedding dress was from him. His designs are gorgeous masterpieces! Anyways....

Let me start by saying I am not at all a GH fan. In fact, I have never cottoned onto a single ABCD soap. So my disdain for Wang has nothing to do with GH or soaps in general. I just have no respect for people who talk out of both sides of their necks. Clearly, Vera Wang has a diversied line that appeals to all income levels with her couture lines and her more dissolved lines that are available in broader (I hate that term "low end" which is probably why this grates me so) markets where her designs are more affordable. That's wonderful, not to mention savvy. So her lines are ok for "regular people", talentless reality stars famous for no reason, A-listers and everything in between, but she draws the line at TV shows (even though Wang has been referenced on several TV shows in the last decade), especially daytime TV? That dog don't hunt. Advertising is advertising. And it seems like daytime dramas to this day are the last element of entertainment that it's still acceptable to mock. As a soap fan, I think that really sucks, especially since some of those consumers at Kohl's and David's Bridal may very well be GH fans. Regardless of whether or not someone is a soap fan, alienating potential customers is never a good idea. Who knows, maybe it wasn't Wang herself who said it, but if it was one of her "people", she needs to muzzle them, and quickly. If it's not true what NLG is saying, Wang needs to address it. People were all up the asses of the guy from Modern Family and the former employeed staff member of The Chew about throwing shade on soaps just recently on Twitter. Word travels fast via social networking and bad PR should not be dimissed, in my opinion. At the end of the day, it's about the dollar, and posturing as some elitist but still hawking your wears in so called "low end" markets does not make sense to me.

Restless Vixen it is all about the dollar and appartently Vera Wang felt she didn't need the money coming from GH, is she wrong, no it is her choice. Was she wrong for the way she handle it yes without a doubt if it was indeed her, I am having some trouble with the idea of Vera herself working the door to one of her stores, I even doubt if she spends a lot of time there at all.

In the fashion world advertising is not advertising which is why alot of designers dissassocitated themselves from rappers, etc. I have no idea of what actually transpired maybe the GH'er was trying to purchase one of her signature collection and she said no that label is associated with a higher end and it is a hard pill to swallow for a lot of folks but soaps are on the bottom of the barrel in the entertainment industry. Comparing GH to Sex and the City can we get serious.

She is a elistist, she has an elistist line that most of us would never be able to afford but dream of owning and then she has a more affordable line for the average person nothing wrong with that concept in fact it makes much sense to me and is a smart business move. Why not get paid at both ends of the stick. I am one person who loves that designers are making their brands more affordable, this way you get high fashion without breaking your bank.

What doesn't make sense to me is dissing Kim porn star, reality star or whatever the girl has celebrity power that neither Nancy nor GH possess and fashion designers love celebrities and rich people.

It didn't quote the other post. I hate when that happens....

I agree with the above post! I have a hard time picturing Vera being the one to do this. She's a tremendously busy designer in NYC. Fashion weeks for Spring/Summer 2012 RTW just ended. And now she's busy working on her bridal couture line. Which is a whole OTHER fashion ball game. Plus the actual designer doesn't meet with clients, show runners, or whoever without an appointment. And even then, some of them are booked months out. More than likely it was an associate who was involved with this. It's also second hand information coming from Nancy. So no one knows for certain it was Vera herself. I think it's unfair to criticize & crucify her, not knowing all the details.
I also agree about the designers, celebs, & socialite status. Yes Kim used to do crazy things, but since then her "stock" has gone up in the eyes of the design world. She's a rich socialite, who is seen everywhere these days. In fact she's seen so much that I'm sick of her. I wish she'd take a long vacay, but that's not the issue. Kim was seen front row at several of the major designers Spring/Summer RTW shows last month. Sadly she has the power & status that GH & daytime TV does not have anymore. So, from a business standpoint it makes sense to outfit her vs a soap star. And YES that is terrible, but it's true. Even so there's a TON of high end designers who clothe our soap characters every day. Like I said before though... I just have a hard time actually picturing Vera being the one to do this.

I think what you're saying held true 5 to 10 years ago, soapster. A lot of these couture designers are expanding because they weren't making nearly as much money on so called "high end" fashion alone. The fashion industry has taken their lumps just like every other industry. Even the mighty Karl Largerfeld (sp?) has a line at Macy's. I think in the late 1990s, these people would have never even considered selling in what are ultimately discount department stores. Supermodels aren't household names anymore and that stuck-up "I don't sell to the nouveau riche" attitude just aint working in 2011, and hasn't for quite some time. That's why all these celebs from the A to the D list get kickbacks for name-dropping on Twitter. The fashion industry is trying to earn however they can. And that's fine. I hear what you're saying: Vera Wang can make her money however she sees fit. But then, my opinion is don't go wrinkling your nose at the idea of daytime TV like it's a leper when you're already selling to a wide range of income brackets. GH may not be Sex and the City, but people who shop at Kohl's aren't exactly A-listers either - just sayin'

We'll just have to agree to disagree, but I enjoyed the conversation

jphelps, as is often the case, your post (#22) appears to be one of the lone voices of reason in an over-heated thread.

To start calling the woman an "asshole" and a "bitch" just seems beyond ridiculous. I haven't seen anything that says Vera is against daytime fans. So what if she doesn't want her clothes featured on a show that frequently embarrasses me as a daytime fan with how irrelevant and silly it seems at times?

the critically-acclaimed PBS documentary Kim's Fairytale Wedding: A Kardashian Event.

**********

LOL LOL Wut??? Criticially acclaimed??? PBS documentary??? What'd I miss here??? LOL

@everyone: In defense of the fashion industry (and i've been to fashion week on several occasions during the men's week of fashion shows). Most of the industry would agree with Vera Wang. The only daytime star that might have been able to overcome such negative attitudes would have been Susan Lucci.

More specifically the "high-end" fashion houses like LV, Prada, Etro, Gucci etc. would not be looking too or considering soaps to peddle their products. The audience for one is generally not in their income bracket and their clientele are not usually marketed to on TV daytime or primetime.

Awards season is when they make their biggest push with stars wearing their garments. So that is where they would focus their TV energy on.

For the best marketing designers focus on magazine ads and getting their items featured in fashion editorial spreads. The average price for 1 page in Vogue is $1 million dollars. So they are going to advertise to reach the customer base they so choose.

So I don't find it a big disservice that Vera Wang hates soaps. You would not want to know what Anna Wintour thinks.

So soaps can get appeal with the moderately priced retailer and designers who cater to a larger market. Staying in that lane goes without saying.

Yet no amount of chastising in the world is going to do anything to the LV's and Vera Wang's of the world who have the clout and the power to do as they wish.

So in the end who cares?
