Secrets of Aspen is a new docu-soap is set to premiere Sunday, January 3 at 10/9c on VH1. You can read some info on the show via the press release, which says, “The half-hour, eight-episode series will follow six dynamic ladies on their quest to find love, pay the rent, and stay friends over the course of one summer season. Together they represent a cross section of Aspen’s modern women.” Now, you can check out that cross section — pictures and descriptions of the show’s stars (and the drama they tote like baggage) are below…
Brooke
“Former beauty queen Brooke is the ultimate Aspen insider – she knows everybody and everybody knows her. Unfortunately, her intimate place in the ‘Aspen Tribe’ comes at a price – in the form of ugly rumors around town about how she earns her money. But rumors aside, Brooke still considers Aspen ‘her town,’ and is pursuing her passion for photography. Brooke also loves to travel – although only in Aspen’s off-season. Earlier in the year, Brooke stayed with Laura in California; that led to an ugly rift in their friendship – with Laura feeling that Brooke took advantage of her generosity, and Brooke thinking that Laura is using it as leverage in their relationship.”
Erin
“Miami born and bred, socialite Erin knows the South Beach scene inside and out. But in Aspen she’s a fish out of water – literally wearing designer swimwear to go fly-fishing. Yet when it comes to Aspen society and nightlife, nothing holds Erin back – with her outgoing bubbly personality and her trademark laugh, she blazes her own trail in any social scene. Erin never looks back and could care less what anyone thinks of her, so it’s inevitable that she makes waves in Aspen’s tightly-knit high society this summer season – especially with her BFF Ben at her side. ”
Kat
“By day Kat massages pampered Aspenites; by night she mingles with them in Aspen’s lively social scene. She also loves exploring her adventurous outdoorsy side on Aspen’s mountain trails. Kat got her first taste of the high life in LA, as a flight attendant on private jets — where she gave spa treatments at 30,000 feet. A winter visit to Aspen two years ago with her then boyfriend Alex turned into a love affair – with the city AND the guy. Unfortunately, her relationship with Alex ended in heartbreak – and while she still loves Aspen, its high cost of living has her scrambling between multiple jobs to make ends meet – even though she shares expenses with her roommate Star. Reluctantly, Kat has given herself one last summer to meet Mr. Right before leaving Aspen for good.”
Laura
“Aspen’s social scene is a hive of scandal and intrigue – and Laura is definitely the Queen Bee. She may spend the off-season in Newport Beach, California, but when Aspen’s in season, Laura’s in town — shaking things up and making friends and enemies in equal numbers. This season she’s back in town with big plans to launch a ski-wear line. Twice divorced, Laura is the proud mother of three overachieving daughters, but “mom” isn’t the first thing you think of the first time you lay eyes on this stunning beauty. When Laura sets her sights on anything – from another woman’s man to a business opportunity — heaven help anyone who gets in her way. ”
Shana
“Confident and beautiful, Shana is the Aspen veteran in our group. She’s been an Aspenite for 18 years and is plugged in all over town; she’s definitely part of the town’s ‘upper crust,’ and she’s no fan of Laura, who she sees as an opportunistic newcomer. Shana’s known for her no-nonsense style; she calls it like she sees it, no matter whose toes she steps on. To her female friends, like Kat and Brooke, Shana’s a mother hen; but when it comes to younger single men – her picture could appear in the dictionary under ‘cougar.’ She’s a successful businesswoman in the diamond jewelry business, with clients all over the country. Shana loves her life — and loves Aspen.”
Star
“Star is newly single – and loving it. A San Francisco native, she came to Aspen with her then-husband and, like so many others, found herself losing the guy but keeping the town. Star is a woman of strong appetites and isn’t shy about going after any guy she finds attractive. Like Kat, she loves the outdoorsy aspects of Aspen – and also like Kat, she finds it a struggle to afford the Aspen high life, so it’s only logical that these two single girls wound up as apartment mates. However, Star’s never afraid to dish out advice, even when Kat doesn’t necessarily want to hear it – and the tensions between the two roommates can make for some serious fireworks.”

*Yawn* This show looks like ^&$++@*+)&*~^_~&
I thought they’d be better looking.
this is ALL fake- they don’t even live in Aspen, nor do they rule the “social scene.” they were paid to do it, and it’s all scripted!!
Sorry, not on any list of mine to see. I don’t recognize any of these “actors” and they certainly don’t represent my town. Sigh, too bad, VH1, go back to trying to play music videos, maybe.
Looks like a fabulous show….if you are bothering to make a post, you have to be interested!!! it’s a guilty pleasure!!! There is a voyeur in all of us!!!
CANT WAIT TO SEE IT! Scripted or the real thing…who cares…it’s all for the sake of entertainment anywyay, right?
WOW so beautiful, looks like it will be amazing!
I looked at some of the comments below and realized how cruel others can be, for what? jealous I would say, you rock!
Where did they find these sexy *%*^~*^~!)&_$_%%^ es?! Damn, girls! ;)
Wow these girls look really hot, but one comment, the Laura woman, needed to shave prior to her photo? Just a guy pet peeve. Can’t wait to see the show, c’mom Aspenites, your town needs the publicity.
Wow these girls look like trouble, especially Laura, guys love hairy women
Ummm…VH1, you have one local in your cast. Don’t recognize half of them and a couple others are vacationers that offer nothing to the town or community. Not to mention their reputations are an embarrassment. Why don’t you add some legit locals to the roster and then I will watch. Otherwise, find another name for the show. I want to see the real Aspenites. Otherwise, good luck!
GIVE FRENCHY HER SHOW !!!!!!!!THIS ASPEN STUFF IS ALLFAKE!EW!FRENCHY WILL WRTH WATCHING !I MISS HER ON TV!
Really cause all my ho’s are fab everyone needs to relax and wait for the show cause your gonna like what you see drama drama drama thanku hello relax ohhhhhhhhhhhhh
Can’t wait – they are all gorgeous and I can’t wait for the ‘loca’ hijinks to begin! It will be interesting to see Aspen uncovered!!
I love you Ben! Watch out world, because it is about to be Bennified!
Home is where your HEART is people, not where you record a $*_+&#@!~`)()_~ le on a house…
Please, will someone define what a “real Aspenite” is? I’m confused. Here- use the following example-
My ex fiance has been going to Aspen for 13 years, he only owned a home for 4 years (three while he was with me)….But I will tell you this-Aspen is in his blood, and he has created a life there…is he an “Aspenite or a Wanna-be?”
I love Aspen. I’ve built a life there part time over the past three years both with and without my ex. I skied there about 45 days last year. I will ski close to the same amount of days this year. Aspen is majestical. From first tracks, to the malt balls in the AMC, to Apres ski at the Little Nel, it is just heavenly. So people- Am I an “Aspenite or a Wanna-be?” Do Tell, I am curious…
Television is television. You know where the off button is…to think that a production could desecrate your holy sanctum is absurd! So whiners- get over it…One show isn’t going to make or break the reputation of Aspen!
The people who, for whatever reason, go to Aspen or anywhere else for that matter (local, transients, 1/2 time home owners, cast members)…well, they are all just humans. They are fallible. They take their problems with them regardless of where they go, stay, or live..Would you really want to be perfect?? I wouldn’t want to be! Are you any better? Don’t we all have proverbial skeletons in our closet?
It’s funny that people love watching other real people! They discuss other’s imperfections. They ask questions like- “why would he or she put their personal lives under the public spot light?” Well conversely- why do the viewers like to watch? I think it is so they can escape having to deal with their own problems, thus feeling better about themselves…but hey, it is what it is!
I’m comfortable enough to say- I don’t give a sh – - what people think of me! And neither should any one of the people of Aspen, the cast members or the audience.
So sit back and enjoy the escape of watching the drama between a bunch of “kittens and pumas….” meow, hiss, purr…
Don’t die an un-lived life…live it to the fullest!
See ya on the mountain! It will be a little bit more economically fruitful because of the scores of production jobs, “rentals”, and money that was poured into the ailing economy of Aspen this past summer, all because of the show…Hopefully there will be a season two…..it will be the cold of winter, but these Cast members will be heating up Aspen! They already are! Go girls, and boy…!
this is quite possibly the most ~%%@%_@@&#“#+%^#@ ed thing i have seen in a long time. none of these nasty silicone filled “women” are from aspen. they look gross. vh1 get the hell out of my town. you suck very much. i hope this show is a huge failure and is canceled quickly.
Vh1,
Please do not try and recreate your own version of The Real Housewives, it’s not even done very well on Bravo.
Thanks!
First off these ladies are pretty much glorified escorts. and the second girl Beauty Queen? I would like to know what pageant she won. I looked her up and all I could find was were she was a runner up. Looks like someone is starving for any attention.
Kendall, we all know your fat. So get over it!
Love you, Mama Puma! :)
You said it best, Mama Puma!xo
ummm…Excuse me but Brooke is gorgeous inside and out. So in my book, she is a beauty queen…No, she is not perfect…(trust me I know first Hand), but none of us are…
So to all you haters….you are all jealous …. while you sit at home watching on t.v, she will be rising to reality stardom, and laughing all the way to the bank $$$….xo2u brookie.
Where is my Kristi Gilliam? She is hottest of them all.
Looks cool, I’ll be there.
you are giving aspen a bad name! none of you were even born here! leave my town! youre just a bunch of gold diggers that want attention from a teenage audience. sad.
This is disgusting to see, this is not a example of Aspen or they people that live in it. It is sad to think that people will actually think of Aspen this way. Aspen is a ski resort and no one cares about the stupid escorts that live there. If you want to see the truth about Aspen, maybe you should learn how to ski first and then you would really understand. I hope this show never makes the air because it is an embarrasment for vH1.
Hmm… So fun! Can’t wait till they see me and my girls ski! Ha!!!! Brook, Laura, Lisa, kat.. We will be tearing up the mountain and look purrrty doing it… We will re-define trail blazing! Meow, hiss, roar!
HI THERE, JUST WATCHED THE CLIP AND NOTICED HOW SNOOTY THAT WOMAN WAS TREATING THE BEAUTIFUL MASSAGE THERAPIST, WHEN YOU COME BACK TO ASPEN LAURIE.., PLEASE VISIT ME, I WILL WAX, ALL THAT HAIR OFF YOUR UPPER LIP AND YOU ARE PROBABLY TOO BUSHY FOREST LIKE FOR A HOT=TUB, I DO GREAT BRAZALINS, RIP RIP ALL OF IT OFF COMPLIMENTARY BUT BE NOT SO FBitc##!
Yeyh!! Go Brooke Lauren! All your Miss Colorado USA friends think you rock (esp the ones from Denver) Who cares what these mean people say. You are a beauty queen! We love you Miss Aspen! :) :) :)
Give me a break! None of these women live in Aspen, nor do they represent the sort of women who do. The only people they represent are the incredibly cheesy tourists who come to town wearing their furs and “Western wear” because they think its cool. Listen up ladies, that crap was out in the ’80s! Send these cougars back to their caves and hire some healthy locals who ski everyday and work 2 jobs – the true Aspenites.
LOL…This blog is some great entertainment in itself!
So many strongly opinionated passionate people… love that!
Aspen is so many different things, to so many different people. It continues to amaze me..Aspen..what a wonderful place for congregation; such a culturally, spiritually, financially, and physically diverse group of folks!
Why so quick to judge? Is it who is judging? Why are their such adamant dislikes in other people? Is it a projection of what they dislike of themselves? Can you look in the mirror; accepting and loveing what you see? Who is the judge of that?
Your town, his/her town, our town, their town…who’s town!? God’s creation. Gods children. Life is short; Love to live, Live to love, and learn to forgive!
Share and share alike!
I personally know each one of these cast members individually. All of them are so beautiful on the inside – now that’s HOT!
Have an opinion, go ahead say it..yours counts too :)
They don’t represent my town either but I don’t think they will make a show called Secrets of Bradford, Pennsylvania. I hope it turns out to be a great show!!! Good Luck Girls………
Um……….did anyone else notice the old lady on the show’s disgusting and obviously tattooed on mole on her lip?????
Kat really flight attendant on private jets — where she gave spa treatments at 30,000 feet. you must be kidding that’s not even escort that has hooker written all over it what a joke. Shana the “mother hen” more like the pimp! Honestly are these girls are there because of a guy looking for a guy and f….. any guy that would be stupid enough to pay their bills. Erin is the only one that seems not to have the whole guy link to Aspen as in “losing the guy keeping the town”. Guess they will all be laughing all the way to reality world bank, at a high price because before all of Aspen knew you where all escorts now the whole nation does! I don’t think that will help landing Mr. Right maybe just Mr. Shallow and Mr. Stupid, only a idiot to date any of these girls
I think Shana is going to rock this show. Love her and she is a true Aspen local.
Ha! What a joke…I lived out here for years and they are NOT locals. All reality Bull Sh*t (period) what a make believe money hungry joke.
Long time local…these girls don’t live here. What a make believe money hungry joke this is.
Long time local…these girls don’t live here. Money hungry reality show is what it is. What a joke! Day late and dollar short.
is the guy who says he’s single from aspen ? he is hot. i hope to see one of the ladies get with him. i’d like to see more of him
My opinion on all of this- All people are diverse eclectic and wonderful…I may not get along with all the other girls and guy 24/7, but they are ALL remarkable people within their own right, as are each and everyone of you who are reading this…
Those of you who don’t support this subject matter- You all have a right hand a left hand and an index finger, that can choose the “on” button or the “off” button on a television set. You have the right to not push the play button on the internet, AND you have the right to close your eyes and ignore my post or continue reading and respond to it.
Aspen means something to each and everyone of us in an individualistic, perhaps personal or impersonal way. Who gives a crap what other people may or may not think? In the long run how significantly is your day to day life you going to be personally impacted by a reality t.v. show? You can only control your own thoughts actions and reactions…
Never-the-less: I commend all of the people who have taken a stand and voiced their opinions whether to attack me, or defend me (or those affiliated with me)…It is so awesome we live in a country in which our fore-fathers fought hard to secure so that subsequent generations could enjoy the absolute miracle of Freedom. Freedom of choice, freedom of expression, freedom of press, freedom of speech etc, etc. After All- “If you don’t stand for something, you will fall for anything.”
This town had my heart from the very first time I came here in 2006. I obviously have chosen to live a unique life here, and I intend to do so for a very long time. The people here are passionate, beautiful, and diverse. The skiing cycling, fishing is un-paralleled and divine. The seasons (except mud season: ) ) are breath-taking. The opportunities are endless here. And the friendships I have made and experiences I have shared with my family…price-less. This subject matter is a new experience for all of us, but one fact is universal-
WE ALL LOVE ASPEN.
And as individuals, we all have the right to convey that love in our own INDIVIDUAL, UNIQUE way, whether others agree or disagree with our methodology. From the stay-at-home mom, to the socialite who marries for money, to the homo-sexual, to the Jew, to the Christian to the loud mouth, to the recluse, to the business owner, to the part-time home-owner, to the full time home owner, to the ski instructor, to the investment banker, to the transient, to the service provider, and in my case- the start-up clothing manufacturer…we all have different plans and unique purposes.
I promise each of you, I certainly won’t judge any of you…”for every ONE finger I point at someone else, I need to point FIVE back at myself.” If you choose persecution over opinionatedness, that is your negative energy and precious time (which you could be skiing instead of blogging) wasted..
But I, like you will certainly have an opinion, and I have no hesitation in expressing it or rebutting that of another…. So have fun with the counter-bashing responses to my aforementioned diatribe….I will be sure to read them! This is turning out to be a fascinating experience!
Happy Holidays to you all! And as one of my favorite people in the world is notorious for saying- “RELAX”
Xo and blessings
This makes me kinda sick… i was kinda exicted to see the show but born and living in the valley all my life then to see this?? i would be more willing to take a show into consideration only if they actually put people that has grew up here and know what it is really like to live in such a beautiful place. and there are a lot of those people around. maybe put some real women and not write a script in this show and it would be a bigger hit.
Yeah, super super dumb. How about the college grad struggling to keep a job for the free ski pass and learning to mingle and meet a mate… or the guy who runs the cat at the top of ajax when it’s 2 degrees? or the woman who’s small business can’t afford skyrocketing rent in downtown Aspen and she has to move down valley to frikin glenwood? or the mexican family who commutes from the Basalt trailer park to take care of rooms in the St. Regis? THAT’s aspen.
How is this a show about Aspen when they are all from California or Florida? This show is the worst thing that ever happened to Aspen. I am a local of 27 years and think this is a total joke! Do these women even ski? Enjoy the outdoors? Do anything but get weird injections to make them look like freaks and sleep with each others men? I hope it never gets picked up!
film this show is Vail where this type of trash belongs!
Can’t wait to tune in to watch the drama in Aspen! Go Kat and Laura!!

(Haters: Ease up, what do you really care anyway?)
As a 12 year Local I find it funny that Neither I or any of my friends has ever seen Your “18 Year veteran” Blah. Oh she has been coming up for two weeks a year for 18 years? Wont bother to watch.
Are you kidding me with this $(#“^^^_%`**^^~ Laura? Kat?
These women just moved to town. Brook? She doesn’t even live here.
This crab has nothing to do with aspen, this is what the ugly side of aspen is all about. Gold digging at its finest.

Really? These are grown-ups, right? Scarey……..
