My GUILTIEST pleasure!!!

NYC Prep

I can't stop watching NYC Prep (Bravo TV's real-life Gossip Girl) And especially can't stop watching PC and Jessie (mostly PC) and not in the way I couldn't stop watching The Hills and Heidi and Spencer.. Speidi was just cringe worthy, especially Spencer.... ugh Spencer is NOT a character you love to hate... just hate.

PC and Jessie on the other hand (who, by the way, were supposed to be to NYC Prep what Speidi is to The Hills) are fantastically real, spoiled, selfish, at times downright bitchy, upper east side rich kids. But they have honesty and ambition and heart, the 3 things missing from the Speidi combination.. plus their (potentially fag/hag) banter is fantastic.

Aaaand they know who they are! I think that's what I love most about PC. He is so self aware (if that's the right word to use here) He says things like "My biggest problem this week was that my tux wasn't tight enough. That's when you know things are good." (when talking about how good he has it compared to most people) Oh and the way they describe everything... PC doesn't simply say "I'm a little impatient" he says "I flush the toilet before I am done peeing. Maybe I am a little impatient."

In one episode PC is invited to a dinner party (hosted by the 16 year old Camille...) He calls everyone "children" all night even going as far as to joke "What do you guys do in your free time? Do you play in the sandbox?" Kelli's response to PC "So because you wear tight pants and say darling, that's maturity? I must have missed that memo." This is 16 year old Kelli who lives in the city BY HERSELF because her parents live in the Hamptons and she didn't want to change schools... who's trying to play adult here?

I think my love of PC comes mostly from his name Peter Carey. Well that and the fact that no one can quite figure out his sexuality and he couldn't care one way or the other. He is completely comfortable and confident in who he is. (could be a result of the amount of time he spends with a therapist "everyone around here has their therapist on speed dial, including myself")

Oh and I also should probably at least mention Sebastian (supposedly the resident hottie) He's only 15 and his opening introductions on the show were like this "Hey I'm Sebastian I live on the Upper East Side and yeah. I hook up a lot." Everyone on the show talks about his hair like he's freaking Zac Efron.. He's not.
