It's Vapid, But Still Kinda Sad

so last year i got into the "girl's next door" show on the e! network, which granted is a mindless, silly show. but very escapist, which is what i like.

the toughest things those girls have to do is pick out what they are going to wear on a daily basis. rest of the time, they are living rent-free, in a mansion with staff, going on amazing trips, planning costume parties, and tending to their pets. not a bad life other than having sex with ole hef.

anyway, i kinda liked holly and hef together. she was the main girlfriend, the one that has been with him the last six years. she was very much the alpha female of the house, the one that shares his bedroom, and actually seemed to be in love with him. granted she's kinda territorial and can't stand it if anyone else is actually getting attention or if something good happens for someone else, as she is very scarlett o'hara.

even so, it was sad to learn in my crack mag that they were having problems and then they actually broke up. i can't blame holly for wanting to get married and have kids, which is all she ever wanted. but hef wasn't getting divorced from wife #2 or having any more kids.

she could have spent the next 20 years or so with hef, essentially being the mistress of the manor, but she gave it up to go after what she really wanted.

i'm not sure why she threw away a total free ride, plus cash from the show, calendars, etc., but as weird as it sounds, it made me sad for her that things didn't work out for her.

no doubt the show will go on, as it always does. but it won't be the same.
