Gastineau Girls

In the opening episode, we see Lisa Gastineau bemoan the fact that she spends a fortune trying to live the good life. We hear her whine that all her jewelry is old and she doesn't have a boyfriend to give her new baubles. And we see her complain about having her messy daughter at home. It's spring in New York and love is in bloom. But what happens when Mom and Daughter are sniffing the same flowers?

Lisa visits a career counselor, while Brittny goes to Elite Modeling. Also, with an eviction notice pending, Brittny goes apartment searching. But, Britney is very unrealistic in her deisres for the apartment and chose for a sum of $10,000 per month.

As they race to prepare for New Year's Eve, Brittny arranges a surprise birthday party for her mom.

Lisa suggests taking a trip to Palm Beach to Brittny to get her mind off her ex-boyfriend. Almost immediately after reaching Palm Beach, Brittny is moaning about how bored she is in Palm Beach, as there is nobody under 40 there that is worth speaking to. She quickly talks Lisa into going to Miami for the night life. After hanging out in a salon getting their hair done, they picked up a man there who flirted with them both. The trio hit some clubs, had some fun but at the end of it all, Lisa and Brittny were all the better for the time they spent together.

Lisa's friend Shelia has a great idea: Get the girls to the Bahamas on her yacht for some fun in the sun and a photo shoot for Brittny's modeling portfolio. They all head down to Paradise Island and kick things off with a fun night of gambling.

After THREE(!) winter vacations, the ladies return to the city. Fashion Week looms large and Brittny needs to make a good impression if she's ever going to make it as a model. But she's little to reach her goal: no haircuts, no workouts, nothing. The fun ensues as she soon hits the gym, cuts her hair, and works with a runway trainer.

With their vacationing over with, the Gastineau gals are ready to work. But is the working world ready for them? Aspiring model Brittny hits the town and visits designers, trying for a runway gig during Fashion Week. Lisa works on her vocal delivery with some media trainers and starts to really get the hang of it.

The Oscar ceremony beckons and the Gastineaus heed the call. This is their chance to acquaint themselves with the right people, the right designers, and the right TV cameras. In preparation Lisa gets her red carpet bling in order and scores a stunning dress from designer Anne Bowen. Brittny even gets a ""diamond therapy"" session, which uses $6 million of the beauties. Sparkling and looking good, the girls appear on E!'s live Academy Awards pre-show. They enjoy themselves so much that Brittny ponders moving west.

Both of the Gastineaus turn to a matchmaker to get their love lives in shape.

Brittny heads to California to work it as a model, while Lisa also comes closer to her career goals.
