The Hills

After Struggling to get through an episode of The Hills I started to realize the just by watching this show I am lowering my I.Q.. This "fake" reality show is really setting a bad example for young women in this society. First and most importantly we have Heidi. who has given up her friendship with long time best friend Lauren to be with her manipulating, unappreciative, asshole of a boyfriend, Spencer. Heidi continues to be with Spencer even after he tells her sister they want her to move out because she erased his Tivo shows. What kind of self- respecting women would still be with a guy that treats your family and friends so horribly? All of the people on this show just drive me crazy. They pretend to have these high profile jobs in fashion but we never see them working without hearing about the latest gossip. I don't know how anyone can believe this show is real life.

Heelarious Baby High Heels

I just watched a video online of a new product for babies called Heelarious. They are squishy high heels for babies 0-6 months old. Not only were these the ugliest shoes for babies i have ever seen but they are also such a stupid idea. Why are we trying to force little girls in to these gender roles at such a young age. So what is the point of having high heels on a baby that is only a month old and all she can do is eat, sleep and poop? I guess it is just another way for parents to dress their kids up for their own amusement of to save people from any confusion about the babies sex. It's like when a mom will dress the baby girl in pink from head to toe or tape a bow to their head so they are not, heaven forbid, mistaken for a boy. Mothers should not be playing dress up with their infants. If you want to put high heels on something buy a Barbie doll.

Transgender Woman on America's Next Top Model

Tyra Banks is raising the bar this year on America's Next Top Model by selecting a transgender woman as a contestant. While I feel that this is a positive thing most of her competitors feel otherwise. During the two hour premier some of the girls were put off by the situation using terms like "he/she" and expressing that "she (Isis) has no place in the competition". I really commend Isis for having the courage to come on T.V. and fight for her dream of becoming a model. The only downside to having a transgender contestant on the show is she has already become a spectacle. Every time she is on camera her "situation" is mentioned instead of her talent as a model. I think can only move our society forward in terms of opening our minds to different things. I'm rooting for you Isis and i hope you go far in the competition.
