Where is June Ambrose’s Reality Show?

Thursday Aug 12, 2010 – by

We contemporary fashion heads know June Ambrose as the Twitter style maverick who spills the “chai tea” with her haute twitpics, dishing live up-to-the-minute style from the streets of New York City.

But Ambrose is more than the 21st century celebrity stylist tweeting “Thirsty Thursday,” she is a breathing style pioneer.

Ambrose put Missy Elliot in a Hefty bag and made it look dope. Ambrose put a then Sean “Puffy” Combs in a shiny suit and sparked a cultural revolution. And while Bravo takes Rachel Zoe into a third season for her widely watched “Rachel Zoe Project,” it seems for over a year now, June Ambrose has been quietly demonstrating to television executives that she like Zoe, also deserves a reality show.

Ambrose’s YouTube videos like her tweets are a riot. The over-the-top fashion savant who styled long before it was glamorous takes her small yet coveted YouTube following behind the scenes as she outfits starlets and travels globally to her hometown in Antigua to a search for loose tea in London’s Harrods.

Her videos are informative, intuitive, and insanely hilarious. So where is June Ambrose’s reality show?

Can’t you just imagine it? All aspiring stylists of color would have a mainstream reference. Ambrose like Kimora Lee Simmons can show viewers how she balances career and motherhood. Not-to-mention we’d have a first-hand look into her jetsetter lifestyle–touring with Jay-Z, and intimate evening dinners in her swanky Manhattan residence.

I mean, if we must endure the elongated torture of American so-called reality entertainment, why not give it one last dose of fierceness (we loathe that word too) with Black America’s original style architect–Ms. Ambrose on your Phillips plasma weekly.

Would you watch a June Ambrose reality show? Which network could you see her on? Sound off!

    I wish BET was more together…her show would be perfect there. I didn’t even know she had YouTube webisodes! I live for her Tweets and was just wondering why she doesn’t have a show. I’ve seen the Rachel Zoe show a few times, and I think June’s show would be EXTRA interesting! I would say E! or Bravo…shoot, Lifetime has Project Runway now so I think her show would rock on that channel as well!

    I am so Team Ambrose! June Ambrose, like Roxanna Floyd( RIP) the iconic makeup artist, has opened the door for the Crystal Streets to walk through and with her amazing energy, her approacable classiness and earthy elegance, I think that a reality show would only be the next natural progression for Ms. Ambrose….that is if she wants to do a reality show!

  8. Absolutely!! Bravo hands down! Can you say take over????

    Personally, as a women of color I often feel conflicted about supporting an industry that just doesn’t seem to care about black woman. My friend Sharifa, THEE ultimate fashionista, actually wrote an article about that conflict. Check out what she had to say here: http://www.xhibitp.com/310/my-guilty-pop-pleasure-am-i-out-of-fashion/

    Love, Peace, and Pop!

    I don’t think I’d watch. It’s a bit over the top bougie for me. I prefer a slightly more realistic protagonist…even in fashion.

  11. avatar huh says:

    Maybe its a ny thing, being such a fashion capital! Because I have no clue who she is but I love fashion!
