Bling Empire: New York - First Season

In New York, anything can happen.

It's a city where you could just be anything you want to be.

Oh my gosh.

Nam is the Blair Waldorf of Thailand.

Spoiled, bratty girls don't really change.

New York lets you be who you are.

Is my shoulder out?

Are my titties out?

That they are.

I don't give a fuck. I will wear, like, some crazy-ass thing.

I am passionate. I care a lot.

But what successful person in New York City isn't pushy?

- I wanna go big. - Richard's exhausting.

He's known as being kind of like a social climber, a user.

Anyone who lives here either hates it or loves it.

- We're supposed to be friends. - Are we?

- You're being stupid. - You're brainwashed. I'd kick his ass.

I'm the queen of New York.

I'm the queen of everywhere I go.

- This is bigger than my head. -

New York is crazy glamorous, crazy bling, bling, bling.

There's so much drama, but it's a lot of fun.

Where are we?

Uh, this is downtown Brooklyn.

Downtown Brooklyn!

I'm Dorothy Wang.

I was born and raised in Beverly Hills, California.

I never really truly lived outside of Los Angeles.

Wait, no, I did live eight minutes outside of Beverly Hills.

I am just ready for a change.

I'm single, ready to mingle.

I'm hoping I'll vibe with New York guys more than LA guys.

I feel I've been swimming in the same pond for a really long time

and hopefully there are bigger, better fish

in the New York waters for me.

I obviously am a little pampered.

Being in New York will kind of roughen and toughen me up a little bit.

Does this work?

Okay.

I don't really like, take that many risks

and I really want "New York Dorothy" to be a little bit riskier

and kind of live on the edge and be a bit more impulsive.

I want to, you know, conquer a new city.

Ready for my new life.

- Hi! - Hi!

Welcome to New York!

- Thank you so... - Look! What Bun made you.

- Kimchi. - Oh my God!

And I just brought a tiny little candle.

- Thank you. - Oh my gosh. You look so cute, and...

Wow, look at these windows.

So you're gonna wake up to this every day.

Yeah, especially 'cause I didn't realize that you need to have blinds or shades.

Neighbors here are so close.

- Not like LA where people are far away. - Yes! You can see people naked.

- People are right there. - Working out.

- Do you have blinds? - No, not yet.

I met Dorothy ages ago at Coachella.

Chicness! And look at this!

The kitchen's, like, my fav.

My friend got all of us a round of tequila shots and I, like, downed it.

And my friend was like,

"We had to push Jessica Alba off a chair so you could lie down."

No one should ever see me at that stage.

Look at your nails! I really need you to be my nail guru here.

You can go to my girl, Naomi.

- Really? 'Cause I... - Cute! You have crystals too!

Tina is a fashion "It Girl."

The Slaysians are a group of very fierce,

influential Asians in New York City.

Most of them are involved in fashion.

They include Tina, Phillip Lim, Laura Kim, Prabal Gurung,

and Ezra Williams.

Tina is front row at couture shows

and then she kind of became a fashion influencer

who can just slay all day.

- I have questions. - What are your questions?

So... when people... When you have errands to run and stuff...

Who does them?

No, not who does them,

but, like, I have a package I have to return

and my building before was full service.

They had them come,

and I could be like, "Can you ship this out?"

I asked them what to do.

And I have to go to, like, a post office... store.

A post office store.

Do people here usually take a taxi or an Uber and they take the box?

- Take a taxi and go to post office store? - Yeah.

Tomorrow, I have my driver coming to take me to run errands.

- That's what people do here? - Yeah.

- Should we eat? - Yeah.

I ordered some broccoli.

Do you eat vegetables?

- -

My favorite thing about Tina is that she literally...

Also it's my least favorite thing 'cause it worries me,

is that she does not drink water.

She only drinks, like, Coke.

And she only eats junk food, like Spam.

You look like an Asian Dolly Parton.

- Really? - Yeah. Doesn't she?

- I mean, with my boobies! - Yeah!

Remember, last time we were here, we made a pact, we said that...

Because I started hanging out with more straight guys in LA.

- I said it's... - Yes.

It's important 'cause we love hanging out with our gay friends,

but as single, straight girls, we need to hang out with straight guys.

Yeah, but where are they?

- Don't say that to me! - Oh, why?

I just came from the pond of nothing. I'm supposed to be swimming in abundance.

Usually when you freshly land, it's like a whole sea of...

That's what I thought. "I'm gonna be in this new pond!"

- Sexy, hot men... - Right?

...who are gonna be, like, ravaging you, so...

I always say it, but this is the year...

No, I really feel like it.

I'm excited to see how you get along with...

With?

A bunch of... people.

Yeah? With which people?

Deborah and Stephen Hung, they're socialites from Hong Kong

and I've met them years ago.

Since Dorothy just moved to New York,

I thought she might want to meet some of my friends.

I have a whole bunch of interesting friends,

so I'm sure there must be one that she will get along with.

I'm down to meet everyone and see who sticks, you know.

- Mr. and Mrs. Hung. Welcome back. - How are you?

- Lovely to see you. - How are you?

- Hi, Josh. - You look incredible. Hi, how are you?

- Long time. How are you? - That's right. Welcome back.

- Can you take my coat? Thank you. - Yeah, of course.

- I will keep mine. - That's part of the look.

Thank you, Danica.

- Let's head upstairs. - Okay, thank you.

This is our special room today.

- It looks nice. - Beautiful.

- Make yourselves comfortable. - Thank you.

Oh, I will.

I'm hosting a party.

- I want something beautiful. - Okay.

So show me something, few pieces, few options.

Please make sure my wife gets something.

She will and she'll look stunning in it. I promise.

I'm the only wife that complains of shopping too much.

- He pushes me to buy so much. - It's a good problem to have.

- Right? That's not a problem. - Yeah.

We met in Hong Kong.

We were at the Versace fashion show.

He was there as a client.

I was walking the show.

She was a lawyer by training, and she finished her degree

and was all set to go back home to practice in a law firm.

But when I saw her, I never let her go again.

- Deborah is stunningly beautiful. - Mm-hmm.

Wherever we go, she is always the most beautiful person in the room.

The party is in an art gallery.

Okay. Is there any kind of theme or anything for the party?

Ah, Deborah always has a theme for her parties.

- So this one... - Okay.

Surrealism, haute couture.

- Uh-huh. Perfect. Okay. - So something larger than life.

- I need help with the zipper. - Yes. I'm here, behind you, let's see.

Reveal number one.

You like it?

For other occasion, because I feel like it's more casual.

- It's beautiful. - How does it spin?

- Exactly. Yeah. -

Actually, I wanna see you in the pink.

- Very bling, bling. - What material is this?

Those are ostrich feathers.

- All hand applied. - Which one you like more?

Why don't you take both and we can decide later?

So why we don't see some... accessories?

- Perfect. Yeah. - Amethyst, kunzite, aquamarine.

I have peridot.

Here we have over 145 carats of aquamarine.

- This is beautiful. - So gorgeous. Very pretty.

Surreal couture princess.

Yeah. This store, especially this room, is very...

Is a dream for any girl.

When I was little, I learned a little bit,
