My new guilty pleasure

Last week I was flipping through my basic cable channels and came across this awesome new show called Fashion House. Why is it so awesome? Well, it’s an hour long cheesy soap opera, which airs nightly. Each episode's content is about 20% of flashback footage, so if I miss a day, I'm not lost. Modeled after Spanish novellas, the show will tape 65 episodes and last 13 weeks, when all stories lines will tie up. Fashion House stars Bo Derek (isn't that cheese right there? I mean, last time I saw her was on 7th Heaven.), Morgan Fairchild (whom I have only seen in two episodes so far) and a cast of other actors who I'm pretty sure were hired on to the show to serve as eye candy. The mediocrity of the acting can only be matched by the mediocrity of the writing. The story lines are typical soap opera fare... a woman who heads a fashion empire (Derek) is being courted by a much younger man whom she owes money. He tells her the debt will be forgiven if he marries her. BUT... he is somehow connected with Morgan Fairchild who is Bo Derek's nemesis. OH, the drama that ensues!

So, why do I watch? Not sure. Usually because I can't find anything else on TV that interests me in the early part of the week (I have to dump FH on Thursday's for Celebrity Duets). Also, because the 'actors' are pretty, the fashions are cutting edge, and, I know its only on for a short time, so I can get totally wrapped up and know that in 13 weeks I won't have to waste my time any more.

On the school front... nothing new. We are still in orientation and as of now I don't have any classes for this quarter. Great.
