The Real Housewives of Orange County

If you're not familiar with this one, it's another reality show, this time on Bravo (so you know, that means it a little classier than others - haha). I think this was conceived as some hybrid of Desperate Housewives/LB/The OC, etc. So I guess Jo would be the "Gabrielle" of the show since she's the young one. Apparently she's in her mid-20's (all the other housewives are older with older kids and stuff) which really surprised me b/c I actually would have guessed Jo was in her early 30's or something. Oh well. And her on/off boyfriend Slade (seriously, it's some weird name like that) is totally creepy to me.

But in the bit of this episode that I happened to catch, Jo was getting ready to go to the annual Midsummer Night's Dream party at the Playboy mansion - how exciting! But listen to how this works - since naturally only the "elite" can attend Playboy parties, I guess you have to submit photos of yourself in your skivvies to gain an invite. And apparently Hugh normally only likes the blondes (of course) so if you're a brunette, it's even tougher to get in. Unless as Jo says, "you're really good looking" which I guess Jo must be since she's a brunette and still managed to win a lucky ticket! So off she went in the classic Playboy outfit of corset, thong, and sheer robe. What a world they live in...


Law and Order: SVU

Normally, I'm happy to see the star duo from Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle - you know, good to see the underrepresented races get out there and stuff. But not this time. Last night's episode feature Kumar as a super-creepy serial rapist/murderer. Ack! He's ruined for me.
