New Favorite Show
Most of you may know that when it comes to television shows, I'm kind of an addict. Not that I sit down and channel surf (I rarely do that) but if I find a good show, I usually stick to it and feel obligated to watch most or all of the episodes. I don't even want to think about the amount of time I've wasted doing this... Anyways, my mother, being the Bravo addict that she is, recently discovered a new summer show called "Million Dollar Decorators." Needless to say, I'm now attached. The reason I like it so much is because unlike HGTV it's not a how-to show and you don't feel like you have to learn anything while watching it. Yes, obviously there is decorating (which I love considering these decorators have no spending limit and can pretty much do whatever the hell they want), but more than decorating, it focuses on the decorators lives and there relationships. It's centered around 5 decorators, all of whom are completely different and have different design techniques, but are all extremely talented and entertaining to watch. For instance, despite being the ones working for the millionaires, these decorators hold themselves to the highest standard and get mad if they're thought of as any different. One of them got mad when her client treated her like part of the staff....uhh yea...if you're getting a pay check from this woman, doesn't that mean that you're "part of the staff?" I don't know....it's like these people think that because the client asked them to do a room, it means that the designer is doing them a favor or something and they can do whatever they want. The funny thing is, that because their designs are so good, they basically can. Another designer says all the time that "People don't know what they want. I know what they want." which in a way I guess is true since they always end up liking her designs, but on the other hand is frustrating to me because if I was the client I'd want to know that since I'm paying this person, they should at least listen to what I have to say. I suppose I also feel this way because personally I've been really into decorating lately. Unfortunately, my family doesn't share the same enthusiasm I do when I bring home a new rug or lamp or whatever for my room in the G Phi house next year... I guess it's because right now my taste is still very girly. (Take a look at this cover of Hose Beautiful to get an idea). I guess they're right...meanwhile my mind always travels back to Paris Hilton and her pink out town house she owns while she's far from her teenage years. She's almost in her thirties! ...but then again she still acts like a teen so I guess that makes sense.
