Pretty Wild and Other Stupid Things

I'm pretty convinced that reality TV has hit an all time low. The new "E" show "Pretty Wild" is proof of that.

Three spoiled little rich girls (and one them is a thief) and none of them has a concept of reality. Or a least reality outside of their own special made up little world.

(Here are the spoiled brats. Don't ask me which one's the thief because I can't tell the morons apart. They might as well be the same person because they act exactly the same: spoiled and whiny. Basically everything we should strive to be like)


Apparently, as a society we've become bored with mom's dressing their 4-year-old daughters in outfits a grown woman wouldn't wear and parents raising their 14 kids on national television.

No, we need a show with spoiled kids who think the whole world owes them and then get paid as proof of that. Its disturbing to no end. All this show is proving is that "hey, I can break into a few celebrities houses with my friends, steal a good chunk of change, and I'll get my own show".

I'm curious as to what happened to actual talent. Does it even exist out there anymore? Or if your life is interesting enough other people will want to see you on TV? Whatever happened to leaving some things to the imagination? Am I just being old school or do I seem entirely disgruntled?

I think Hollywood and some entertainment have gone completely overboard. Is it really too much to ask not to post a picture of some celebrity sneezing and say they're "just like us"? They're human so wouldn't they already be? Just because they're famous doesn't make they a different breed of people that are somehow better than the rest of the world. They're just paid more.



Okay, I feel a little better now, so I'm done with my mini-rant.

A Weakness

A weaknesses of mine, besides my boo's cutie pie grin, are design shows. It doesn't matter if it's home or fashion, I'm not entirely picky. There's something about the designing world that peaks my interest. Not sure what it is, but I love fashion and design shows.

Maybe it sets off the creative side of my brain.

HGTV is only my daily watch list, especially House Hunters and House Hunters International. Bravo's on the TV list, too, just because of shows like Kell on Earth, The Rachel Zoe Project, and my new favorite, 9 by Design. Seriously, I cannot even begin to explain how much I love the houses they've designed.

This are a few pictures from their new house in New York:




And they have 7 kids.

Oddly enough, I cannot stand Project Runway. I don't know why, but I think it has to do with the whole "getting voted off because you're just not good enough" thing. I feel the same way about Design Star. Yet, I have no issues with Top Chef. Go figure.
Those shows make me wish I had a bigger budget for design. And more time on my hands to do it. *le sigh*
