Unless you watch The City, you may not recognize Erin Kaplan's name. And if you do watch The City, you may not immediately recognize Erin Kaplan's face — she has several, and she likes to make them. A lot.
At 26, Erin is Elle magazine's youngest publicity director ever. And, judging from the show, she seems like a smart, ambitious woman who takes her job pretty seriously. Unfortunately, her no-nonsense attitude often pits her against co-star and co-worker/Elle newbie, Olivia Palermo. Actually, that's putting it mildly. Let's be honest: Erin can't stand her. Which is great, because MTV loves to exaggerate this kind of drama by using as many over-the-top reaction shots as possible, context be damned.
But wow, did they hit a goldmine with Erin, who has become the reigning queen of hateful side glances. She really only has like four basic facial expressions, but they're each awesome and she uses them like 20 times per episode, so I put together this video mashup of her best ones.
