NYC Prep

Class day one: went to the premiere of "NYC Prep."Let's just say the highlight for me was seeing Andy Cohen of Real Housewives Reunion fame. The premiere was at the Paley Center for Media The kids were super superficial and the whole thing seemed really pre-meditated to me. The first episode centered pretty much on how privileged the "prep school" elite of Manhattan are. The first scene was between two seniors, Jessie and PC talking about how they wanted to get into college, but if they didn't get into the one they wanted, there were "alternative" ways to still getting into that school. Gew its called getting in on your own merit. Take notes.

After the show there was a question-answer portion to the premiere, and my favorite question came from a woman asking about the moral implications of having such young "actors" on the show (which is totally staged, PC even hinted to not really being friends with the other kidlets on the show, oops Bravo, get a better PR person). The response: Andy Cohen: "They are just living their lives, they are like 'mini adults'" How articulate, thank you for that response. 

Overall I was not impressed with how Bravo presented itself during this premiere. It was really a take it or leave it attitude that really rubbed me the wrong way. But I guess in one of the most wealthy areas in the US (Upper East Side, Manhattan, NY) what more can you expect. 

On a brighter note, it was reassuring to see that even with these limitless bank accounts I was still dressed better than the girls on stage. Money can't buy style I guess. 

Blister update: getting better, need more shoes.

Also went to Magnolia Bakery yesterday and have been craving a vanilla cupcake with chocolate icing all day.  I may just go get another tomorrow, you know, because my feet hurt :)
