Kimora Life in the Fab lane- ep 6- "Something's gotta give"

Kimora is feeling more overwhelmed than usual now that she's added the bi-coastal living element to her list of things going on in her life. She goes to a meeting in NY with HMI, an school/organization that works with gay, lesbian and transgender teens. Kimora supports this organization because she can relate to being different. When she was younger she was teased a lot so this organization has a special place in her heart. She's also going to be hosting a fundraiser/reward show for the school.

Next she's off to a meeting with Ming, Aoki and the "Hello Kitty" company. The girls have been given the opportunity to design some charm bracelets. Aoki is in her element!

Then she goes to a meeting at Macy's to discuss  the creation of a new line. Kimora takes juggling to another level but let's keep in mind that she's hardly doing all this by herself. They have 4 weeks to turn around a new line and have it in stores for customers to buy. Crazy!

The search on to find a design team to get the team together to make this impossible deadline. She meets with the company that her marketing team has hooked her up with. She gets a tour of the facility and then they start planning. In this economy it's smart to do an affordable line that looks expensive. The meeting goes well but time is of the essence.

Fast forward to another meeting with the design team and she sees the Red Cross blood donation trucks on the lot and she just has to give blood. If Kimora is really authentic with her giving spirit then I think that's awesome. The meeting is a blur because after giving blood she's feeling quite woozy. In the end, things go quite well and "Kouture by Kimora" is well on it's way!

Then she's off to NY to host the HMI fundraiser. She's nervous and when it's time for the auction Kimora has to rally the room for donations. The event was a huge success and raised $1.2 million for the foundation.

The girls go for cupcakes and bracelet designing with two of Kimora's VP's. Aoki is a ham and needs her own show- she has such a big personality.

Now she's back in LA to have her final meeting with the company developing the new line. The head designer looks like Sponge Bob Square Pants but seems very talented. She is blown away by the samples and then everything has to be boxed up and shipped for production.

Kimora and the girls go to the Hello Kitty b-day celebration. It's also the premiere of the bracelets that Ming and Aoki designed. It's all about girl power!

Finally, the "Kouture by Kimora" line makes it's debut and people love the outfits.

More impossible deadlines met with great success- now that's fabulous!

See ya in 2 weeks for the season finale.
