MTV to Launch Hills 2.0

The Hills are back! But hopefully in a version I won’t be ashamed to tell people I watch. Turns out MTV is launching a new series this October called Heroine (the name is a bit much, the girl’s not saving the world, or Anna Wintour) about a Pittsburgh gal, Chelsea Settles,  who is moving to Los Angeles to make it in the fashion world. With similar aspirations as me, in a similarly unfashionable predicament (read:college in Pittsburgh) I know I will be tuning into the show. There’s no way I’ll be able to resist and who am I to ever turn down a MTV reality series?!

As long as there are no plastic surgery crazies or people with really annoying voices (still love you whit!) I think the show should could be pretty promising. I don’t think it’s over doing the fashion thing, because how much work did we really see LC do at teen vogue and People’s Rev?

Also, MTV isn’t placing Chelsea into a job so we’ll watch her  attempt to make it, at least partially, on her own. I think we can all use a little inspiration for our upcoming stunts into the read world. That in itself is reason enough to launch a realty show. Especially in the impossible-to-break-into fashion industry.

Let’s just hope she doesn’t turn down a trip to Paris… no one can live that down.

Are you going to watch?? Do you think we have TOO many shows about people trying to “make it”?


The Play(s) of My Life: The Bouncer, AND Another Failed Pickup Line

bouncer(SARA, 23, enters a dive bar with a small group of friends. She is the last one in.

The second she steps in, a middle-aged guy in a leather jacket, the bouncer, stops her at the door.)

MIDDLE-AGED GUY

ID.

(Our heroine is surprised surprised because this is a serious dive bar, and not a single one of her friends got carded before her.)

SARA

Just me?

BOUNCER

Yep.

Sara shows him her ID. He looks it at very carefully, gives it back, and then smiles and nods Sara in.

Once inside, Sara finds her friends.)

SARA

I can’t belive the bouncer carded me.

FRIEND

What bouncer?

(Sara turns to point at the bouncer, but now there’s no one standing at the door.

They leave soon after and Sara spots the “bouncer” drinking with his friends.) Read More »
