A Glossygirls Tale….

So I don’t know if anyone has seen this show on VH1, but I just have to put my two cents in on it. For those of you that don’t know what I am talking about, let me just give you a quick synopsis of the show. Cheezy(I say with a z) guy that used to be a major dork (still is in my mind) that supposedly figured out the beauty of the feminine mystique and has somehow gotten a show with two wing-men in tow, to teach seven other geeks (or maybe it was 8…) his womanly ways. I believe the beginning of the show included the line “with what I will teach you, you will get laid.” There are sooo many things wrong with this show that I don’t even want to go there. But where I do want to go is A) who the hell decided this bonehead named “Mystery” was the man and B) if you Google this guy and see his picture you might need to wonder how eyeliner, some black nail polish, long scraggly hair, and the occasional don of his pilots goggles (on top of his head mind you) make for a sexy man. Oh, no worries, he does switch it up and wear his cowboy hat sometimes. Now had they thrown a guy up there, say like George Clooney, whom although older, definitely has a certain quality, I might like to sit and watch awhile. This show, while not only belittling to women in my mind (portraying us to be little toys in which to play games of lust with), is a train wreck to watch. The object of each week is giving them a challenge to learn how to talk to, kiss, seduce, enthrall, entertain, etc in which they proceed out into a club with hidden cameras, while the amigo and his two side-kicks grade their “performances” from close by. Ladies, if you are wondering, this is the part that he especially likes to dress up for. After the geek squad bombs, the Amigos head into the bar and show them how it is really done.I must interject here that with the three losers that enter the club, I kind of wonder if the women that are being subjected to all of this stand to inherit a substantial fee for the trauma of what these men put them through. Of course, the end of the show is typical of any reality television show these days that use the same tried and true formula of survivor. elimination. with a little gold medallion in the hands of the geek squad, each one is eliminated weekly until last geek standing. Amazingly, the prizes weekly are a “private” session with the gaywod goggle-wearer. I must say that I would rather watch “Americas Next Top Model” a hundred times than sit through this tragedy of a television show.

It’s wrong. Just seriously wrong.
