Real or Fake?

No this is not a post about BOOBS. This is a post about reality TV. I have been known to watch reality TV quite often, but recently something has been getting on my nerves...

Since I have been watching reality TV I have been well aware of the vast amount of editing that goes in to these programs, to make you love/hate/like particular characters in the show. I like to think that I take everything in these shows with a grain of salt and have learnt to question a lot of it, but recently, maybe after the whole Kim and Kris H thing, I have been a lot more sceptical, even annoyed by it all! I feel like the whole category "reality TV" is a lie in itself.

I'm sure by now you have all heard about the fake car scene, which was filmed for the recent Kim and Kourtney Take New York series, to make Kim appear more sympathetic?

Don't you just think this is rude to fans? It's sole purpose was to manipulate us and even after it was found out, they still included it in the episode!!

and this whole "cheating" or "lying" thing isn't unique to the Kardashian gang... even Bear Grillz has been caught in the past cheating..admitting to BBC that he wasn't really "isolated" in one of the episodes, but filming right near a motel that he was staying at.

Am I the only one annoyed at the fact that these reality stars are treating us, their fans, their lifeline, like imbosiles?

I watch movies all the time, know they are not real and enjoy them. If you want to present me something fake, call it a movie not reality TV.

TIP: How to spot a Faker - watch the stars food/drink, it is amazing how quickly one can go from a full slice of pizza to a bite or how a drink can all of a sudden fill to the top again.

Spoilt Rotten!

I have now returned from the Christmas/ New Years celebrations and I thought there was no better way to return to the blogging world then with a post about how much A spoilt me this Christmas!! He loves buying me presents and constantly tries to "beat" me when it comes to present buying. I know it sounds silly to compete over who spoilt the other one most, but I figure that in the end we both end up super happy, so what is the harm??? Anyways, A totally won this year and I was close to tears as we exchanged presents.

A got me this beautiful Mimco bag, that I had pointed out to him only a week before Christmas. I was in love with the bag, but did not expect to find it under the tree!

He also picked out these cute little Mimco earrings.

Kendra is my fav. reality star, so this book is perfect for me and was finished in a matter of days - such a good, humorous and eye opening read. I also want to practise criminal law one day and love reading the details of crimes, so both books were perfectly picked by A.

Another present from A were these Bethenny Frankel goodies, I love her attitude as well and can't wait to get stuck in to them...

A also got me a jewellery holder from Diva.
 All in all I was totally and utterly SPOILT ROTTEN!!

What was the favourite present you received or gave for Christmas??

I bought A a pair of Morrissey sunglasses and a keyboard/cover for his iPad.
