Real Housewives of New York Season 5:
"When friend and client Heather Thomas decided to become “A Real Housewife of New York,” it was a shock:Why would the creative director for Puffy, Beyonce, and J.Lo, and founder of the Yummie Tummie fashion line stoop to the indignation of reality TV? Well, it wasn’t long before Heather called in James himself, describing him as the “Big Gun” needed to help fellow RHONY cast member, Sonja, with the creative direction for a toaster oven launch. A few meetings, four episodes, much drama, and one photo shoot later, the packaging was complete. Working on the worldwide stage with 6 million eyes on you can be nerve-wracking. Nothing is scripted and there are no retakes, so if you make a mistake, the cameras are rolling. However, if you’re confident in your abilities and you enjoy the team around you, it’s a job just like any other—an opportunity to do great creative work and have fun. As for the indignation of reality TV, Heather recently revealed that sales for her Yummie Tummie line have more than doubled since joining the staff of RHONY. "
