Manolos, Prada, & the BP Oil Disaster

VH1 has one again raised the level of Reality TV to a whole new level....of brain-dead weird?!  Was up in the attic putting away Nick's most awesome toy collection (basically the contents of Toys R Us) when I caught a few minutes of VH1's You're Cut Off.  Basically VH1 has taken some women, that no has heard of or cares about, put them in the house and expected them to get along.  Under normal circumstances this is tragedy, putting any bunch of pmsing hormonal woman under one tiny roof and all you are asking for one volcanic explosion of terror.  Plot twist, these are not just normal hormonal females, these females are "apparently" rich hormonal females!   This show is clear evidence that just because you are wealthy, does not mean you are cultured or even vaguely humanly appropriate.

The premise of the show:

"But for these nine spoiled rotten princesses, life has never been anything but a non-stop party, filled with power shopping, mani-pedis and bottle service. All thanks to their rich mommies, daddies and other benefactors who've indulged their every whim.

Well no more.

Their benefactors have decided that in these tough times, enough is enough. They think it's high time their princesses learn how to become productive members of society--not a endless drain on their finances. They've reached out to VH1 for help.

So when the ladies move into a house for what they think is a reality show called "The Good Life," they're actually about to be subjected to their worst nightmare: getting cut off. Completely cut off. As in stripped of all their cash and conveniences, and forced to learn how to live life the way normal people do."
(I am not in agreement with this clarification of "normal" that VH1 seems to be using.  Little lessons + prizes...does not equal "normal."  They should all go work at Walmart for a year and live on those salaries...in other words, pay rent, medical, food, and support a family.)

Oh No!   Oh what tragedy when they find out they have to sleep in single beds, sometimes bunk beds, they are forced to reduce their hoards of luggage to one "really gigantic" duffel bag, and they are only allowed $200 dollars a week for food.  Now I didn't watch a lot of this show, cuz I feared I might wake up stupider tomorrow, so I quickly switched to I'Carly.  But the bit I saw made me a tad bit pukey. 

Gia announces "joyfully that has never changed her baby's diaper or woken up to feed her in the middle of the night."  Then follows this up with well my husband hires people for this. Dude, I even believe Angelina Jolie changes her own diapers...Gia should not have been allowed to breed.  She makes woman look bad everywhere...from the Queen of England to the female Wookies in Star Wars.

Erica "can't imagine life without regular botox and lip injection," then she spends most of the episode criticizing everyone's wrinkles and normal facial expressions.  Frankly criticisms from a woman who can't even smile normally and has the look of someone who might be dead and preserved, kinda of creeps me out.  Give me Freddy Krueger movies any day over this plasticized blond nit-wit.  On the plus, she does make Michael Jackson's "supposed" plastic surgery look a little less creepy. 

Supposedly, at the end of the show, if the girls do not pass their "classes" they will be financially cut off.  Dude, screw the classes cut their sorry whiny asses off now!  If VH1 was smart, instead of having these rich unimportant hormonal woman go through "supposed" lessons, they should slap them all down south in the Gulf of Mexico along with a biggest bottle of Dawn ever, rags, and brushes and set them to work cleaning up BP chaos.  Seriously, these ladies have a lot of similarity to the BP problem, they both seem to be useless spills in the environment.  Trust me, if I could watch them clean up oil spilled creatures while teetering in their Manolos, Prada purse swung behind their tight knee high skirts, I would then so totally watch!
