Entertained

I have a nasty, dirty little secret.

I have a morbid fascination with the E! Entertainment channel.  My excuse is that when Etienne is not around and I’ve seen the re-runs of all the news on Sky 6 times I need something mindless on in the background whilst I’m busy doing something else.

In reality I just love to cringe at the falseness that is American ‘Reality’ TV.  And the sheer desperateness of people who live a pretend life full of self-created and blown-up drama dressed like models at 07h00 in the morning.

I have wasted spent a fair amount of time engrossed in the Kardashian Sisters in all their puffed-up-over-made-up-fake-everything-lives.  To be honest, I still don’t know which one is which one and the one that had the accessory baby and her dysfunctional relationship with that horrific ‘insert disapproving inappropriate adjective here’ guy is just my end.  I mean really.  Just dump him already.  And don’t even get me started on the “royal” wedding.

But I noticed something last night that really made me think when I was watching Kendra. (Are you still reading?  You haven’t puked yet?)

It was some episode where she hadn’t seen her husband for ages and she was going to Minnesota and the baby was turning 1 and there was “GASP” a blizzard.  Anyhoo, every once in a while you get a glimpse of what life would probably be like if she weren’t being filmed constantly.  She was trying to put on mascara whilst the baby was playing at her feet.  Without a mirror.  And she looked preeeetty uncomfortable.

Does this mean that they told her to do it to look like a busy Mom or was it real?  Or has she just not applied her own mascara in the longest time?  Either way, she doesn’t treat her baby like an accessory.  According to the television.

And speaking of make up:  don’t they know real Moms like us do their mascara in the car?
