Despite fashion's love affair with Alexa Chung, the Brit it-girl's had a hard time breaking the starlet ceiling across America.

Around the time Mulberry's wait-list for the Alexa bag grew to a mile long and Karl Lagerfeld made her a Chanel ambassador, MTV canceled her show, It's On With Alexa Chung.  So Chung went back to London, where she'd originally enjoyed post-modeling success as a VJ and TV host, to work on a show called Frock Me with Henry Holland.

But now she's gearing up for Alexa takes America, round two.  Her new show, Thrift America, will be aired on PBS next summer.  On it, she'll forage for treasures in thrift stores, vintage shops and flea markets in New York, but also places like Nashville and Alabama for a mix of her style (which is what made her famous in the first place) and "the real America."

The question is, will you watch it?  If you're going to take thrifting tips from anyone, it's Chung, but do those without an interest in fashion care enough about vintage?
