How come no one told me that crack resurfaced in a big way while I was in Brazil; and it resurfaced in the form a new "reality series" called The City. Now, I occasionally watched the Hills and although I enjoyed it, LC's incessant winy-ness and naivete really put me off. And don't even get me started on Spencer and Heidi's dysfunctional- dumbassedness. I think the problem with The Hills was that it lacked a true heroine; they were all superficial and stupid.
However The City has found a true heroine in sweet, smart and super trendy Whitney. That bitch has legs for days AND knows how to dress. I love that they foil her sweet nature with Olivia, the beautiful, uptown socialite (uptown girls= uptight girls). She makes the perfect, villainous, hater already scheming on Whitney's man from day one. Between the clothes, the lifestyle, the romances and being able to actually relate with Whitney's sweet & smart, no-nonsense personality, I'm totally hooked.
My only gripe: Why is Whitney in NYC, the center of the world and multi-culturality and she doesn't have not one token Asian, Black, Latina, non-white friend? FOR REAL??? The most diverse character on the show is Whitney's Australian boy toy. Not that he's not nice eye and ear candy, but if you've ever lived in NY, you know that there are plenty of fashionable Asians, mixed- race, purple people eaters in all of the NYC scenes. The Blipsters (black hipsters downtown), the OTB Asian Fashionistas (off the boat) just to name a few. Puhlease, MTV! You can do better than that!
However, I will continue to feed my addiction watching all the past episodes on mtv.com and salivating over the clothes and shoes, praying that someone at MTV comes to their senses and asks me to be the token in the beautiful "reality" TV world where no one worries about paying rent on their million dollar Tribeca loft or thinks twice about eating at the Meat Packing's newest restaurant for a $200 entree. We can dream.
