We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

that is a prescription for me screaming at the tv and losing my faith in mankind.

Precisely. It segued right in from ANTM, and I recognized Tinsley Mortimer's name from the Fug Girls (I think) and then I was transfixed in horror for a few minutes, in which I saw cell phones and drinks thrown, bitching at service personnel, a beer chucked out a limo window, a spoiled rich boy whining to mommy for $50K from his trust fund, getting $25K, and doing his best to blow it all in one night. And backstabbing that makes the ANTM models look mature. Jaw. On. The ground.

And they were all at least 21.

Because books.

smonster, I saw the title of the show before and thought I was in Movies until you started describing it. I've never even heard of it. It sounds appalling.

I couldn't even make it through the commercials for that Tinsley Mortimer show. Gah. I mean, how old do you have to get before you can no longer be called a "socialite"? That fool was born in 1976. She's in her 30s. That kind of behavior is unacceptable at any age, but at her age? Just no. I refuse.

Actually, she was behaving much better than the others, from what little I saw. And there was behind the back snark about her age and newly-single status.

But why does she even have those others amongst her circle of friends? People who think it's acceptable to throw drinks out of limos, treat service people like shit, hit mommy up for more money than most people make in a year and then blow it all in one night, who actively campaign for white folks right to use the "n" word? There has to be a better class of rich, snooty people for her to hang out with.

True enough.

NY Mag's post about it is pretty funny, and has some more choice WTF lines and moments. [link]

You can be a socialite at any age; however, no true socialite would agree to be on a reality TV show.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

PR: I KNEW IT! The instant he a) called the hubby and b) made a suit I KNEW he was going home.

Consistency is the most important thing, Randy? Really? I thought it was song choice? Shut up, Dawg!

And oh my word. The black girl with the fake colored contacts and the goat voiced vibrato takes out Katelyn? Wow. That was a surprise. And what the hell, America?

Dear Il Divo, No one voted for you. Love, America.

So we have half of the top 12 already and not a good one in the bunch. Well, Siobahn's good. I take that back. One out of 6.

Now I see. Paige got through as an homage to the original goat voiced vibrato boy. And White Stevie is still rocking the serious fro and still can't sing.

Paige, Lacey and Katie in the Top 12? What is wrong with America? Look at what you've done.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

PR: I didn't know, or I forgot, how young Maya is. She's so polished for 21.

How weird that no one used any red for fire designs. I did really like Anthony's, though, and it was probably smart of him to stay away from bright colors. I didn't love the winning look, but I can see how accomplished it is.
