Guilty Pleasure

I have a guilty pleasure. Actually my husband and I share it together. Now, get your minds out of the gutter it is absolutely NOT sexual. It may be hard to believe this, but it's a television show. I've come to look forward to it, make sure the tivo is set to record in case something else comes up, don't want the phone to ring or the kids to wake up and interrupt. I wish I could say it was Desparate Housewives or a cool new show premiering for Fall 2006. But, alas, it isn't. My guilty pleasure is . . . . . .(drum roll please) . . . . ."The Girls Next Door" on E! featuring Hugh Hefner and his 3, count them 3 live in girlfriends. I know, I know, it really goes against everything I'm learning in my Beth Moore Bible study, in Sunday School and generally everything I've ever read in the bible. But, God help me, I can't walk away from it.

For those of you that know nothing about it, the show is 30 minutes long and centers around the 3 girls that Hef has chosen to spend his golden years with... Before I get to the girlfriends, let me just say that I'm worried about Hef. He tries to stay hip and happening and keep up with these young girls. But, he looks like a dirty old man coppin one last feel. There's Holly, the main girlfriend. And then Bridget and Kendra the back-up girlfriends. Now, I don't care too much for Kendra. She's annoying and immature and her laugh makes me want to slap her across the face. Holly is somewhat delusional and actually believes that Hef will marry again and at 80 will be capable of producing more offspring with her. But Bridget......Bridget is my favorite. Bridget is everyone's friend. She never says anything mean about anyone. She listens to people and what they have to say. She's very upbeat and positive about everything. From her cat's dental hygiene to her carefully planned and thought out striptease busting out of a cake for Hef's 80th b'day, she takes pride in everything she does. And in a very limited way, I would like to be more like her.

Since there are only like 2 people reading this blog, I'm not too concerned that my sanity will be questioned across the masses. If you haven't checked it out, stear clear. It will suck you in as it has done me. There's nothing like 3 girls in a mansion, with anything they desire at their fingertips, trying discover their meaning of life to make me appreciate my real world so much more.
