Welcome from The Reality Queen!

I, The Reality Queen, am mad.

Why? Because I just wrote a beautiful long blog about this column, Bravo's The Millionaire Matchmaker, and my thoughts and I was told it could not post b/c of an error. So I hit the back button and my entire post I was typing...deleted.... yuck

So as I think back to what I was going to post, I know I was talking about the Millionaire Matchmaker, a show on Bravo (one of my favorite channels). Patty, a matchmaker, takes Millionaires who have been highly successful in thier careers, but not in love, and tries to find thier perfect match. She takes two millionaires (usually men, but sometimes women) and selects a group of women (or men) to have a mixer with them. The two millionaires pick two of the matches each for a small date. They then pick on of two those for a master date. It is amazing what a good job Patty goes at pairing people together and teaching people how to approach the dating world.

On this past week's episode. There was a lady (and because I can't remember her name we'll just call her Lady), from the great and wonderful state of Minnesota (my home state!). Sadly, for MN, this lady was a terrible representation. She was only concerned with being youthful and was very superficial. She wanted a younger man with an extreme fashion sense. Patty confronted her on her faults and Lady stormed out of her office. A few days later, Lady agreed to meet with Patty again and Patty was able to find two younger men for Lady to go out with. Due to the fact Lady made me so mad, I turned off the show before it was over.

It seems there are many Lady's out there. People only concerend with looks, appearance, and youth. I think it is rather unforunate. All to often people judge other people just by how they look and they don't take a chance to get to know that person. There are too many people obsessed with trying to "fit in" with the Hollister clothes and fancy purses. I have never in my life bought anything from Hollister or have ever owned a designer bag. I have no desire to buy these things b/c I'm happy with my $10 dollar purse from Kohls or my clothes from JC Penny. People need to be comfortable with themselves and not focus on looks, b/c after all it really doesn't matter. Life's too short for those things.

Next week we will look at another Reality show and each week I'll keep you updated on previous shows!
