The Hills: Stress and the City

Posted by Miss Jaime at Tuesday, October 30, 2007
If you didn't Tivo the episode, you can either wait for a rerun or catch it online.

This week's episode featured Spencer trying to kiss and make up with Brody while Whitney and Lauren headed to New York City to pitch the Teen Vogue Young Hollywood party. You'd think a bi-coastal episode would be fairly action packed. You'd think wrong. A common complain of the show now is that nothing happens. Lauren wears cute clothes, Spencer and Heidi incite nausea and everyone drinks without getting sloppy or hungover. Where's the fun in that?

Anyway, onto the episode:

Holding a Teen Vogue party in a Catholic church might just be the worst idea ever. Firstly, half the guests would immolate as they walked through the door and secondly, you know someone's going to get hammered and use the font in a completely in appropriate manner. And the suggestions of hiding the confessionals/using them as photobooths? I'm not religious in the least, but that just seems in bad taste. Speaking of the Catholic Church and bad taste, Ms. Spears is at it again. Pissing off the Catholics is a great way to sell records. Just ask Madonna -- she did it twenty years ago. Between the child molestation scandal and dwindling attendance, I think the church has got bigger fish to fry.

God, I want to live in New York. Every episode of Sex and the City, every movie with New York City as a backdrop (especially when the movie features a couple wandering around Manhattan at some ungodly hour) intensifies this desire even further. Then I realize that there's no way I'd be able to afford an apartment any bigger than a postage stamp and my dreams come crashing back to reality.

Judging by what I saw on the show, people involved in the fashion industry don't emote. Ever. And on the rare occasion that they do, it's creepy.

Which brings us to our Quote of the Week: Lauren gets this week's honor -- "I'm gonna go give Lisa Love a hug...and then run away because I'm afraid of what she'll do to me." Fashionistas are frightening. I guess a diet of coffee, cigarettes and vodka will do that to you.

And that leads us nicely into to this week's edition of You Look Like A Pratt! Usually, our weekly picks come straight from the show but since it's Halloween, I figured we'd go with something especially terrifying -- Douchebag Spidey (Speidi?).




I see a trick but am unsure where the treat would be in all this. Little hint, it's definitely not in his pants. Pratt-Daddy, I don't need to know what religion you are, so how's about throwing on a pair of boxers in public, huh? Thanks.

In one fell swoop, Pratt-Daddy has managed to completely desecrate one of the world's most beloved superheroes. Stan Lee, Steve Ditko and Tobey Maguire should get together and pummel this guy black and blue...or at least set Kraven the Hunter on his trail.

Next week: The Teen Vogue Young Hollywood party! Heidi's 21st birthday! Another half-an hour wrenched from my life that I will never get back!
