Bonafide City Girl


You know you watched it. Fess up. Last night's two episode arc intro to The City was all I hoped it would be and more. Like, let's talk about how Olivia doesn't even try to hide/fight her bitchy condescending nature. And why on Earth does she care so much that Jay snubbed her dinner party? Who knew Whitney had such a sex kitten wardrobe all this time? Everything was short, backless and se-xy. Erin seems precious but I am curious how homegirl lives in such a fat apartment by herself. And how do she and Whitney know each other again? A little back story, MTV. And Jay. Showing some Justin Bobby tendencies with his "I do what ever I want whenever I want" mantra. And what is with the sudden vilification of Alex? Wasn't he just trying to be a good friend? I mean, if she dissed him for Jay and then Jay was cheating on her, he really owes her nothing. The fact that he tried to help showed me that maybe he is a nice guy. I don't know why he was edited to look like a potential ax murdering stalker. And who didn't love Kelly Cutrone's fairy godmother cameo. Not only is she "there" for Whitney during this big transition, she hated all up and down Olivia and vouched a little for Alex. Loved it. Can't wait for more. In fact...off to watch it again.

ps- old school Olivia dramz here.

I admit it, I didn't watch it...yet. I was much too tired last night from having too much fun Sunday night. It looks to be super juicy.

I totally loved it! I've reconciled with the fact that it's completely fake. I don't hold that against Gossip Girl, so why should I hold it against The City?

I predict that Olivia will be the new Lauren Conrad of hair. :)

I have it on Tivo, along with Bromance (shhh, don't tell!). I can't wait to have a free hour to watch 'em both!

I just watched my episodes and it feels like Santa paid a visit all over again. I LOVE IT! Although I was nervouswatching Whitney with those uber-short dresses. Who wears that to work?! And Olivia is a trip--something is def. going on with her fascination with Jay. And I can't wait to see what goes down with the whole Outsiders slant on the soshes and the greasers, er, I mean the Socialites and the Downtown folk.

Yay!

I. LOVED. IT. For all the reasons you mentioned and for being able to point and scream at the TV, "I've been there!" Although, to be honest, these chicks are hanging out in way different places than me and my peeps!! Still, loving the NYC backdrop.

I totally watched, even though I gave up on The Hills long ago. Did you know that Erin's dad is Cliff Williams, bass player for AC/DC?
