Karla gives insight into how she became a costume designer and how Warner Brothers approached her to create a line of clothing inspired by The OC.  She discusses what details she put into dressing certain characters and how the explosions of the Ugg boots came about, thanks to The OC. 

Rachel talks about her one memory from filming this episode and it may involve Brad Pitt.  Hear about their deep love for McDonald’s Breakfast.  Melinda discusses how she really felt about the Porn Identity and of course Julie’s iconic style.  What happens in the mall, stays at the mall!
