One of 10 - Nicole Lee Snsd

7.Gee

"Aha listen boy... "well before we get there we need to take the story behind it all.

Mnet "Factory gir" was inspired by the "Devil wears Prada" plotline in "The Hills".We together were supposed to be interns at "Elle Girl" magazine.

The show starts with the editor-in-chief .Who is dress up like a New York socialite from the 80s but judging us for what we are wearing.

"We need you to go down the street and take a right " Our manager told me and Sunny. "ok but why? I asked
"Is it for the show" Sunny asked. The manager just went.
"Ehhmm....."

"Ok, its for the show" Sunny said and grabbed my arm as we went to do what we were told.We all were filmed "casually" doing girl stuff in the city except Yoona who was being "Secretly" filmed while filming her drama "You are my destiny" And Taeyeon was filmed doing her radio show "ChinChin" with Super Junior Kangin.What a name. You should look up what it means in Japanese. 

I mean why not squeeze in a bit of PR where you can right.We all thought that the experience was alot of fun. We did something different and we all liked the fashion thing. Jessica really loved it more than the rest and when we were given challenges she took them seriously.

One thing I will say that was weird in the first episode was that the editor and a crew were to go into our dorm and film all our clothes and skin products when we weren't there. I really didn't like that. Our reality was that we were never allowed to have any type of privacy from each other our managers or even the public.We were lucky, but one time we heard that there was a manager of a girlgroup who demanded to go through a girl group's underwear.His excuse was that he needed to make sure they didn't hide cigarettes or something.But why did he need to do it three times a week. Anyway he was fired and got a harassment suit on him two years later. 

On the new fashion show a few girls were going to fly to New York! I was so excited, I just knew Tiffany and I were going since we had citizenship in the States.

" I can't believe we are going to New York! I said to her. And we both squealed.New York really had a comeback that year. Gossip girl was the hottest show on tv followed by Ugly Betty. Then of course Sex and the City the movie had just dropped the same year.

"Omg, what if we run into Nate Archibald" I said to Tiffany when we were in the kitchen at the dorm.

"Can you stop talking about going to New York?" Yuri said behind us

"Yeah its not nice" Taeyeon filled in. That we were going and others weren't was a big,big thing. I was not asked to sing on tv or do tv commercials or solo stuff .I felt like finally the time had come for the attention to be on me and not Yoona, Taeyeon or Sooyoung.

"Ya, Sooyoung is coming with us" Jessica said as she closed the door behind her to our bedroom. I sit up and Hyoyeon and I glance at each other.

"What?"

The next morning we arrive at the airport being filmed getting out of the car.

The editor assistant was shocked expecting three girls but getting five.If you look it up Jessica's face says it all, she was pissed.Likely for the same reason Tiffany and I were.Yuri and Sooyoung had gone behind our backs and requested  SM to file a US visa for them so they could come along. The reason Jessica knew was she had overheard a phone call by our manager.As the car drives in New York you can see me with sunglasses being asleep.I got motion sickness on the plane and slept horribly.

With the cameras rolling we all wanted attention from the camera and I think I got more and more irritated. Luckily we split up. Jessica, Yuri and I were to go interview a makeup artist while Sooyoung and Tiffany interviewed a model.
