”BLESSED IS THE CHEESE MAKER” IN SACRAMENTO’S ‘INSIDE THE CITY’

DID YOU CATCH US ON RACHAEL RAY?

Mandy is the first to admit that her busy farm life doesn’t leave her much time to focus on fashion. “I would love to feel girly again,” she says. “Ten, 12 hours a day in the cheese plant I kind of forget what it feels like—I’ll go out in public and forget to do my hair or not wear any makeup. I’d like to get that little feeling back where I’m presentable.”

To see how much cheese has taken over Mandy’s lifestyle, Cojo agrees to spend a day in her shoes working on the farm. As part of the deal, Mandy follows Cojo back to New York City where he pushes his style expertise to the limits creating a whole new look for her. Rach asks him what part of the transformation he was most interested in tackling. “The clothes. I said to her that she looks like a blob in those farm clothes—and I meant that with love! So I wanted to see her in feminine clothes and beautiful colors.”

Cojo and Mandy hit Intermix to pick out a new wardrobe and then Oscar Blandi salon to work on her locks. Click here to see video clips of the episode!
