It’s been one hell of a week. Literally.

The mixture of heat and humidity outside is paralleled only in Satan’s world, and the frizz ball that is my head makes me think someone upstairs is very, very upset with me.  But, besides all that, I guess the week wasn’t too bad as we wrapped up July, CollegeCandy style.

Our party on Wednesday was nothing short of amazing, except that whole “waking up and going to work the next morning” thing.  (If you missed it, you can get jealous and pretend you were there by checkin out some hot pics here!)

We got some great shopping tips, like how to dress yourself thin (without the Spanx!) and how to get cute stuff without spending too much money. And, most important, how to shop for sex toys. Between a new wardrobe, the smoking hot fall makeup trends, and adding that 6 minute workout into your day (while listening to the awesome playlist, of course) you’ll be making a kick-ass impression and be sure to have all the frat boys drooling come Welcome Week.

TV always manages to surprise us and this week was no exception. Behind the scenes with Paris Hilton? A dating show for “real” people? The premier of The Real Housewives of Atlanta? It was like one big train wreck and I couldn’t stop watching. Those people made me feel a whole lot better about myself, even if I have a few…er…interesting secrets. (I may or may not be typing this very post from my bathroom….)

But it’s all over now and I’m resting comfortably on this (hot as balls) Friday afternoon.

Have a great weekend, ladies. Just be sure to pull up your pants, pull down your shirt, and wear a freakin bra!  Oh, and don’t be a third wheel, Not cool.

Last night I had a dilemma. A major dilemma. Involving TV.

You see, I wasn’t sure which I wanted – no, needed – to watch more: the Paris Hilton documentary on MTV, or More To Love, Fox’s newest dating show.

It was a tough call, but being that MTV shows everything 4,367 times, I went with More To Love.

Ever since I heard about this “Bachelor for real people” I was intrigued. Having grown up overweight (and not had my first kiss until the ripe age of 18!), I really got behind a show that didn’t focus on looks and really just gave everyone a chance at love. Or as much “love” as you can get by meeting someone through a reality show on Fox.

I settled in front of the TV with some (fat free!) frozen yogurt, excited for the “real” people that were about to find their soul mates. And what did I find? 60 minutes of sound bites for the likes of Chelsea Handler, Joel McHale and every blogger on the internet to rip into women with already questionable self esteem.

Seriously, even I couldn’t hold back on the jokes. And that’s bad.

There is so much wrong with this show that I don’t even know where to start. Lucky for you, I got really good at taking notes on my iPhone while watching, so here are some of my biggest issues with More To Love:

Reality shows: you either love ‘em or hate ‘em. Personally, I never liked “reality” television, and this summer’s lineup of shows gives me even more of a reason to stay away. The networks really seem to be scraping the bottom of the barrel with some of this stuff. Here’s just a handful of the trainwreck reality shows that will be gracing our TVs this season:

The Great American Road Trip
NBC, Mondays at 8/7c
What happens when you pit seven families representing different regional stereotypes against each other in a race for $100,000? The Great American Road Trip. Only there’s nothing great about it. In fact, it’s rather hard to watch. In the first episode, the families competed in an “end of the road” challenge in which they had to roll a Zorb containing one of their family members through an obstacle course. I felt so bad for the poor kids who were stuck rolling around in the giant Zorbs…although I couldn’t stop laughing through the whole thing! Does that make me a bad person? Read More »
