Reality Show Madness

If you don’t know what a Reality Show is in this decade, you have been living underneath a rock. A huge rock.

When I saw my first reality show I was a bit annoyed. One because I didn’t know why anyone would want to watch real events in peoples lives for fun. And two, because I was watching real eventsĀ  in people’s lives for fun.

Since my first time watching reality, there has been an explosion of them all over the damn place. From American Idol to The Bachelor, I have no clue what to do with my relax time.

Being a music lover, I find it a bit frustrating that MTV (short for Music Television) has so many reality shows that it’s lost itself in the process. Hello? Where’s the Music? The only drop of music I see now is that hillbilly from Rock of Love playing his “geetar” for the 30 not so classy ladies that are fighting for him….Which grosses me out. Have they seen him at all??

Nevermind the “find a spouse” reality shows, let’s head over to the clueless department. Clueless meaning this should be your state of mind when watching shows like Fantasia, Real Housewives, The Hills and even though Kim’s ass makes up for her brains – Keeping Up With The Kardashians. I can’t help but ponder to myself “Self, don’t you have anything better to do than Watch The guidos from Jersey Shore fight over hair gel and Lasagna?” And quite frankly the answer is “NO.”

Do you know why, America?

Because society is NUTS for these shows. And if you don’t know who Hugh Hefner is boinking these days, you are considered a loser.

America has officially gone mad for these reality shows. Do you ever find it strange that Breaking News now consists of Heidi Montag’s latest boob job? Or Snooki’s “Bumpit”?

I can’t help but wonder why people like Coolio, M C Hammer, and Hulk Hogan can bounce from “Who????” to having their own shows. Who comes up with these ideas?

Do you watch reality shows? Which ones?

Tweezing Children’s Eyebrows

My hubby and I both have pretty thick eyebrows… Mine I pluck or wax, while he decides to look like “The Count” from Sesame Street. “ONE…..ahh ahh ahh.” Sorry, I just can’t say “The Count” without imitating him.

Anywho, having 2 girls with our hairy genetics really scared me. There was a huge risk of giving birth to two “Counts”, or even worse…. Bert.

Yea that’s not cute.

I’ve always said Little Miss Spice resembles Madonna’s daughter, Lourdes. How cute is she, right? Shes got the same wavy brown hair, and I’m starting to worry that she may be headed in her direction with the brows as well. If you’ve never seen Lourdes’ brows, allow me to show you.

Now I understand that its completely superficial to care about things like eyebrows and such but shit. I don’t want my baby running around looking like a baby gorilla.!

I have heard of moms plucking as early as 4 yrs old, and that just grosses me out. I cry when I pluck my own eyebrows, and usually it’s because I’m watching a Lifetime movie….but a little because it FRIGGIN hurts!

I can’t imagine plucking my 5 1/2 year old’s brows anytime soon. But then it takes me to this question……

When is a child old enough to pluck their brows?
