Rich Girls



I don't live in New York. I don't own a pair of Manolo Blanik shoes(in fact im not quite sure that I even spelled that correctly). I am actually quite the "poor girl", but I must say that I am totally infatuated with this brand new MTV Reality show.
Showing during the ten spot on MTV, Rich Girls is a reality television show that follows the life of New York heiresses Jamie Gleicher and Ally Hilfiger. The show's concept is quite simplistic and it makes for a very light hearted look into the lives of a more fortunate group of Teenagers. We see them go to prom, we see them graduate, we see them shop, and we see them cry about their problems. The end result of this show is that we are supposed to realize that Rich Girls are just as normal as we who are "less fortunate".
My husband dispises the show. In all actuality I should dispise the show. In all my materialism I should be green with envy at their romps through the many high end boutiques in New York. I should be sicked to see them swipe the visa for a brand new sony laptop and then ask if there is a Prada bag to match. I should even be sad that I was not fortunate enough to make it through life and not know the contents in the burrito that I eat well enough to make my own. Unfortunately im totally enthralled. I guess that my intrest in people is what draws me to all of these reality shows, I really don't know what it is to tell you the truth.
I have followed this show religiously throughout it's first season. I have even surfed along the MTV onair website that goes along with the show. The season ending episode is next tuesday. I am sure that I will pour myself into the couch and be wide eyed and possibly even a bit misty through the entire 30 minutes. Sad I know!
These two girls have me hooked. I originally thought that this was going to be a pathetic publicity stunt for Tommy Hilfiger. Then I realizedthat the show has actually pointed out more of his clothing line's flaws than to boost it's image and make it seem more chic. I hope that they are continuing to film this. I would really like to know if Ally's line for Tommy ever makes it off the drawing board, and I want to know if Jamie's novel ever makes it out.
I can't believe that such a superficial show actually has me concerned about these girls that I seemingly have nothing in common with, and I can't even begin to wonder why they have inspired me to reconnect with my inner princess, but it has truly changed me. When I get stressed out I stop and tap myself on the middle of my head 21 times. I do yoga 3 times a week, and well...I have always made my own burritos, but it doesn't quite stress me out as much.
