Fade Street Finally Here Folks... RTE's much hyped new un-reality show 'Fade Street' comes to TV screens tonight folks so set phasers to bitch-mode. Why? Cuz everyone is only gonna be hatin' on our Vogue, Lou, Cici, and Dani when they start kicking all of the beloved photocall queens off their hallowed tabloid pages. And they will. We were there at the show's almost late launch last night... Cici Cavanagh, Dani Robinson, Vogue Williams, Louise Johnston They're already finished shooting the second season yet no one has seen a single scene from RTE's answer to The Hills. Starring Cici Cavanagh, Dani Robinson, Vogue Williams, and Louise Johnston - the show follows four twentysomthings doing their daily lives in Dublin. But with cameras (whispers: and scripts). Dani Robinson And it seems the knives are already drawn for the four glam-bots living on Fade Street (whispers: live there when filming). Yup. These newbies are gonna put a lot of turned-up noses out of joint when their popularity catches on with the public and the newspapers... Photocallees join the dole queue if you haven't already. Vogue Williams Like, already you naughty ShowBiz.ie commentators (whispers: mainly socialites and models) are already having a go at this lot on these pages without even having seen the show. Shocking, we know. Like who knew people bitched on this site? Cici Cavanagh Well, we were at the launch party last night and at this early stage we're already detecting some diva-esque behaviour from The Four Faders. The photocall at Dakota Bar last night was set for 8pm, then put back to 8.30pm, then 9pm. The fab four finally turned-up just after nine... Unfashionably late. Louise Johnston PR peeps take note: if you don't get your photocall photos out to press by 9.30pm in this town your event may as well have never taken place. Yup. The Irish papers go to bed from 9.30pm onwards, so if the F.S. party last night was supposed to get maximum exposure in today's papers for tonight's show, they sure cut-it-fine. Just sayin' that's all. Don't let it happen again. Melina Skvortsova Apart from Poshy Street, Piercey Street, Chicy Street, and Hosty Street - there were also tons of other peeps at the launch including a few of the support cast such as the lads from Dublin Ink: John Connolly & Leigh Guerrine, and the show's producer John Norton with his girlfriend Izabela Chudzicka. Suzie McAdam Other guests included: Suzie McAdam, Melina Skvortsova, Alannah McGurk, Karena Graham, Sinead Kennedy, Virginia Macari, Kristi Kuudisiim, Breffny Morgan, Stephen Higgins, Helen O'Reilly, Roz Flanagan, Maria Fusco, Joan Palmer, and many more... John Connolly, Leigh Guerrine So there you have it folks. Fade Street plays out its first few tentative televisual moments on RTE TWO at 9pm tonight. Sure, who wants to watch the feckin' depressing nine o'clock news these days anyway? Alannah McGurk, Karena Graham Brian Ormond, Pippa O'Connor Sinead Kennedy John Norton Virginia Macari Izabela Chudzicka Kristi Kuudisiim Helen O'Reilly Breffny Morgan, Stephen Higgins Vogue Williams, Louise Johnston, Cici Cavanagh, Dani Robinson

WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY... it is pure muck, I have never heard the word "like" appear in a script as many times and if RTE see that as a true reflection of reality then they need to do a cull and bring in new staff. AND what the hell... Cici's voice... can't hear the girl properly, might look great (on a fund raising calendar) but for god's sake an actresss needs to speak... Shockin' February 07, 2011 - 09:51 Jaysus! Are there no good-looking people in the country? The orangey bodies, the multi-coloured faces, the caterpillar eyebrows, the ill-fitting plasticky getups! I sincerely hope that RTE isn't tryng to tell the women of Ireland that THAT is beauty. They all look horrendous, like a very bad monster makeup artist from a 1950s B horror film got their hands on them. Seriously, take a look in the mirror. LipzySinead – Dublin December 03, 2010 - 03:29 Ok I agree Fade Street is pretty naff but I know many people that are friends with Vogue and god bless her she is a really nice. She is beautiful and because of her name and the way she looks you want to hate her but when I met her she is actually really nice. Genuinely. The show is clearly staged but the way Vogue comes across is the way she is. Not b!tchy just blessed with gorgeous looks. Christ I wonder how her parents knew she would turn out looking so good cos imagine if she was a munter!! I can't speak for the rest of the girls but I will give Vogue credit she is bang on!!! fakeceleb – ireland November 14, 2010 - 20:19 Firstly, cici and vogue look like drag queens. Fix your eyebrows and the 5 different colours on your face cici, louise sorry don't think anything can be done...I saw it the other night hoping it would be good....most irritating, superficial bunch of airheads I've ever had the misfortune of seeing on TV. I hope they are not seen to be representing the majority of twenty-somethings in Ireland. I'm sorely embarrassed for them. Dani is ok imo, as for the other 3 wannabes, get off our tv screens and buy some face wipes for the grubby looking complexions Dublin November 13, 2010 - 17:56 needs to realise she will never be a successful model and go get herself a real career. balls – myballs November 13, 2010 - 15:58 lol i doubt very much if the actual citizens info would post on such a site. are you an RTE employee? if a tv license inspector calls to your house he has no legal right to enter your house. He has to come back with a court order. that will take a while. simply remove your tv in the meantime. it is very difficult to enforce which is why they engage in mass advertising campaigns to scaremonger people into getting one. its a little enclave of protected species. Two sources of income - licenses and advertising - means it wastes money on the sort of tripe above or around 7 mill on taxis in 2007. So do the honorable thing - make them accountable. Sarah November 13, 2010 - 12:09 I saw the tall dark girl - shirin?- out last night and also louise ( well I think it was her). Louise had soo much makeup on but is defo prretty. Shirin was just stunning and so nice - very natural. NG – DonnyBrouke November 13, 2010 - 12:01 wooow fade street was absolutely sh!te my god woow, can irish tv get any worse? Citizens Information November 13, 2010 - 01:10 Failure to produce evidence of a television licence to an inspector can result in a court appearance and on conviction, you can receive a substantial fine. People who have been fined and who have breached court orders directing them to pay their television licence can be (and are) imprisoned. Sportsgsl November 12, 2010 - 22:52 Cringe, cringe, cringe, cringe. Am embarrassed to be Irish after watching it. IRE-mericans liz November 12, 2010 - 20:19 @ showbiz watcher, you bore me to tears with your cries of jealous jealous. In response to your q no i would not kill for the opportunity to turn up at the opening of a packet of taytos, wearing the same creative and imaginative outfit of all black with black ankle boots and a coat resembling a dead ostrich. Everybody is entitled to their opinion I think there are better looking girls at every corner of grafton st than pippa o connor and not half as publicity seeking. I don't respect ppl that flaunt themselves at every opportunity unless they are showcasing a talent of some sort. Just my opinion. showbiz watcher – dublin November 12, 2010 - 17:01 @ Liz.... u honestly saying if you were invited to a party with free food drink and publicity you would turn it down??? Why shouldnt Pippa attend...she is a working model so needs to attend these events for publicity etc...thats the name of the game. Jealous???? Thought she looked good to be honest her teeth look great now so fair play to her. Brian needs to look less old fashioned though - he is falling into the RTE presenter looking trap! showbiz watcher – dublin November 12, 2010 - 16:58 ah guys didnt think it was THAT bad in fairness?? think fair city is ten times worst at least these girls were not as wooden as those 'trained' actors. Actually thought Dani came out of it looking really well, natural and normal enought. Think she is the best looking to be honest...others were trying too hard to look casual and syling themselves on Lauren Conrad for some strange reason??? anonymiss November 12, 2010 - 16:52 like you know like what I like would have preferred like about like the programme like? if they STOP USING THE fookING WORD "LIKE"!! Improv is clearly not their forte! james – dublin November 12, 2010 - 15:07 lol vogue Tubs – N Tiles November 12, 2010 - 14:27 FINAL WORD: IT WAS SO BAD IT WAS GOOD. gatsby – omnipresent November 12, 2010 - 13:24 @Madson: the only spin-off show coming from this will be one following Cici's eyebrows around Dublin. Jesus Christ! What? November 12, 2010 - 12:43 It's scandalous that this load of crap was given the green light to go ahead. I have never seen anything so depressing in my life. To think people in RTE are being made redundant and asked for pay cuts and THIS sh!te was commissioned. Buzz November 12, 2010 - 12:18 I don't know why you are slagging Cici and the girls' make up?! They CLEARLY would have had it done by a make up artist for the launch you idiots!!! I think they all look great and can't wait to see next weeks ep! balls – balls November 12, 2010 - 10:13 I didnt watch it but from the reviews below i figure it went badly. Still though these girls will bw picking up a wage at taxpayers expense. And rte because it has a certain source of income (the state) will continue to turn out this sort of drivel. So all together now...........STOP PAYING FOR YOUR TV LICENSE rach November 12, 2010 - 10:05 Wanted to give this a chance but switched off after five minutes in disgust. I want my five minutes back. I feel I've been robbed. Whoever commissioned this should be getting their P45 today. A glimpse into Dublin 4 life? Yeah, right. No D4 girl has ever visited a tattoo parlour. Penelope Lambe-Chops – Stuck outside Monkstown on the Dort November 12, 2010 - 09:51 Shut up. That's awesome. robbie November 12, 2010 - 09:40 Was this the Miss Alternative Ireland party? Damn I wish I'd got an invite! Rickster – Eire November 12, 2010 - 09:11 What magazine would take on a construction engineering as an intern and how come they all ended up getting the positions they wanted. They whole thing just seemed a complete set up and an advertisement for Stellar, MCD and The Academy. At least that Dani girl wasn't another stuck up D4 head like the rest of them. A load of sh!te. Shocking – So Bad November 12, 2010 - 01:16 I have never hated anything soooooooooo so sooooo so so sooooo sooo so much in my life..... "Louise, your interview was very bad but I got a great reference from someone so you have the job!" WHHHHHAT?? There was one job going then that bloke Vogue gets it too?!?! WHHHHHHAT??? Was it just me or did anyone else get this? Model A1 – Dublin November 12, 2010 - 01:00 i cringed all the way through every SINGLE second of it and i really wanted to like Fade St. mother. of. god. it. was. bad. Flop Street November 12, 2010 - 00:51 The cast was picked long before filming, all of these girls stories were written well in advance. But very very very badly. It all just happened by magic! Danni magically gets a job with MCD, magically meets Louise, magically gets an apartment from some non-estate agent person five minutes later. All we see of their pad is a couch and a window. Louise magically gets a job with steller mag, after magically meeting vogue at their office. Vogue "man voice" Wilson magically gets a job there too. Then Cici jumps out of nowhere in some bar and says i just saw you guys now i'm one of the girls! REALLY???? This was complete and utter sh!tE!!! Alex November 12, 2010 - 00:32 The scriptwriting and the styling in the show was utterly woeful. You can't blame the girls for the horrible clothes they wear or for the lines they are given. Plus it's not the girls fault that the launch pictures didn't get in the papers, that's not their job. Leave them alone to enjoy their little bit of fame. It can't possibly last. Amy November 12, 2010 - 00:18 At least the girls in the Hills are good-looking and wear nice clothes! This is by far and away the worst piece of drivel RTE has ever produced. The shame. tex – mex November 12, 2010 - 00:02 Seriously did a 2 year old script this sh!te? A new low! LOL LOL – LOL November 11, 2010 - 23:15 My lord, the dialogue in this programme is comically bad. "Why do you want this job?" "Because this magazine is pitched at 18-34 year olds, and that's kind of where I'm at in my life at the moment". Fact – Checker November 11, 2010 - 22:41 Melina is so hot that there is no way that she could be Irish fake st – reet November 11, 2010 - 22:40 Hope it gets better coz th first show really sucked balls Joanne – D4 November 11, 2010 - 22:30 Vogue needs to employ a decent photographer and stylist to make her look good as every photo I have seen of her makes her look cheap. She needs to exude a little class as we know its hidden deep within. James November 11, 2010 - 20:54 Hair Extensions... check Fake tan...check Badly dressed...check Everything on display...check Fat , ginger Irish man...check TV Licence paid... you must be joking One way ticket out of Ireland.... just booking it Lovely girl November 11, 2010 - 19:53 What are all these insults for people?? The fadestreeters are looking smoking! Suzie & Virginia's dresses are pretty. Cici is the best looking in the bunch!Kristi & Sinead could have made more of an effort. But really who cares! Madson November 11, 2010 - 18:56 Cici will be the stand out star of this show, she will have spin off tv offers from all over the place gatsby – omnipresent November 11, 2010 - 16:39 Two words: Cici's eyebrows. Two more words: Jesus Christ! Beppy November 11, 2010 - 15:19 Danielle - PR c0ck up!! So what has that got to do with your comments!! "RTE should be ashamed of themselves producing garbage like this???? Anyone who has seen footage says its terrible" (Do you always go on others opinions because you can not form one of your own??). "Waste of TV licence money, disgraceful". How much of the show have you actually seen exactly before you started spitting your rubbish on this negative site!!. All the girls look great and fair play to them for getting out there and trying something new. This will be the making of them! Who gives you the right to knock them before you know anything about them! Get a life!! EB – Dublin November 11, 2010 - 15:18 @Dee Yes its on tonight. Might be more in the papers then in the papers tomorrow. Dee November 11, 2010 - 14:27 Looks like a good night. Shame nobody thought of sending the photos into the Herald though. I bought the paper just now to see the photos... eh, what's going on? Is the first show not airing tonight? Anyone? ur ma – omg-fox rock like November 11, 2010 - 14:15 fiit birds but boooring, D4 stupid stuck up rich... EB – Dublin November 11, 2010 - 13:54 @Emily......Yes you are correct I'm really jealous of her. I'd really love to be modelling Pennys underwear on Xpose and turning up at crap programme launches like this just to make a living. Come on. There are much more nicer models out there in Ireland compared to her. Izzy Bella November 11, 2010 - 13:43 Is Dublin Zoo missing a chipmonk???? liz November 11, 2010 - 13:40 Cici kavanagh is stunning, the only looker in the bunch. Am positively mortified for Helen o Reilly whoever she is. Loving Virginia's style recently, gone are the trashy, everything on display dresses, looking much more elegant and classy these days, keep it up. Pippa would turn up to the opening of a choc ice. Karena Graham, lovely outfit but would be nicer teamed with black tights. It's not summertime hun. Melina whatever, worst outfit of the bunch- does absolutely nothing for her and very tacky. Louise Johnston looks like a plastic mannequin, has potential but tone down the excessive excessive make up Danielle November 11, 2010 - 13:34 Beppy, how sad are you? These girls will be splashed all over the magazines? Do you know how silly that sounds? Why are the launch photos in none of today's papers when the show is airing tonight? Is that not hugely embarassing? Today is the most important day for coverage. It's a disaster. The photos didn't even make the society page in today's evening herald and there would have been plenty of time to get the photos in there . Even if the photos get in anywhere tonorrow it's way too late cos the show is being aired tonight. Somebody c0cked up big-time. Oooops!!!! hash November 11, 2010 - 13:16 @jojo,I agree she might actually be wearing a tad too much make up but there is no denying that she is naturally a good looking girl, i dont understand why people like her need to slap on that much make up when shes clearly pretty anyway jimi November 11, 2010 - 13:15 trannies the lot of them !!! and since when is that ginger fat bloke from the apprentice a ''celeb''.... jojo November 11, 2010 - 13:02 Oh holy god cici looks like a drag queen. Bambi – Foxrock November 11, 2010 - 12:07 no its williams, fact. Fact. November 11, 2010 - 11:52 Actually bambi, Vogue's surname by law is Wilson. I know this for a fact. Beppy November 11, 2010 - 11:43 SMALL MINDS! Danielle - wise up girl. Critizising something you havent even seen tut tut. Let us all know what programme you feature in or are you still sore with the fact you havent made it!..Geraldine, I think you need to get your D4arseoff the Dole, get out and get yourself a life! You lot need to wise up & start supporting your own instead of putting it down BEFORE you have actually seen it! The girls looked amazing, and are set for big things in the future (unlike yourselves!) Jealousy is not a nice trait girls! Fade Street Girls.. wishing you all the best and looking forward to seeing you splashed across every magazine in the future! JLoo – Dublin November 11, 2010 - 11:29 CiCi is wearing far too much make up as are the others. its a pity because they clearly don't need it. why do irish birds think that this looks good! its like putting a mask over something that is usually grand just the way it is. Letter beyond Z? November 11, 2010 - 11:13 It's kind of telling by the cheap Z-list guest list here just what kind of a tv show this is going to be. emma November 11, 2010 - 11:08 No photos of this launch in any of today's papers. PR person needs to be fired whoever they are. MH November 11, 2010 - 11:04 Finally some hot women on our screens! Melina, Virginia, Cici mmmmmmm! sam – Swords November 11, 2010 - 11:03 Cici and Louise have brows that any fella would be proud of. Model A1 – Dublin November 11, 2010 - 10:58 State. No fear here, sorry showbizzzzzzz..... Danielle November 11, 2010 - 10:52 Vogue Wilson is the best looking. The others look like they work in Noname. RTE should be ashamed of themselves producing garbage like this. Anyone who has seen footage says its terrible. Waste of TV licence money, disgraceful. Bambi – Foxrock November 11, 2010 - 10:48 Vogue's surname is WILLIAMS you idiots! geraldine November 11, 2010 - 10:43 Was this a hairdressers night out? Never seen such badly dressed, cheap looking people in my life. They think they represent Dublin 4? In their dreams, hahahahaha. This lot wouldn't have ten bob between them. Also, isabella should wear a dress below the knee. Does she not have a full-length mirror? Cringing for her. Emily – Dundrum November 11, 2010 - 10:32 Oh I'm looking forward to this show! @EB stop being a hater!! You must be jealous of her (I see from previous comments) if u weren't why bother commenting nasty things! I love Pippas jacket.. Cici looks lovely here too balls – my balls November 11, 2010 - 10:20 yet another reason why i will never pay for a tv license. Your ma November 11, 2010 - 10:11 Good of Stephen to go dressed AS Bosco!! - – - November 11, 2010 - 10:02 Kringe Joanne November 11, 2010 - 09:53 Cici is absolutely stunning, puts some of the "models" to shame EB – Dublin November 11, 2010 - 09:22 Seriously, Pippa O'Connor. Every photo she pulls that face. And whats with the jacket. Sebastian Longchamps – Hell November 11, 2010 - 08:35 Rent an idiot crowd.
