Reality: Boyfriend bought me these - I've been dying for them for three months (since we started dating). His store sold out of all of them, but he hid my size so I could have them for Christmas. I'm so keeping him!
Fantasy: For Boyfriend to propose. Though these shoes were also one of my fantasy presents :)
Okay, I love Snooki. I tried to avoid this show, kinda hate everything MTV's put out lately (save "Teen Moms") but the scenes wit her mom, and her inherent sweetness under all the guidette warpaint comes shining through. She's like a lil mini Christina Aguilera, no? Sassy!
Also she's a quote machine:
"Oh my gawwd, Baby Jesus".
"It wasn't sexual, it's house music" = awesome.
When people from the hills or the whatever (I don't watch any of these shows but I think it's the lauren conrad, spender pratt, audrina, etc--they're all from the same show I think?) are in interviews they aren't nearly as hilarious. In a good natured way. It's nice.
Okay, Snookie is cute as a button. I would totally hang out with her (I would be the nervous-looking relatively-sober chick in the corner, unless I was the relatively-sober chick going nuts on the dance floor; these are the only two options for me in clubs).
@Gonkette: That comment also rubbed me the wrong way. I don't understand the correlation between abuse and Latina women, but what bothered me even more was Lopez's suggestion that 'being able to take a punch' was a rite of passage to some sort of elevated womanhood.
I'm secretly fond of Young Girl in the City Finds Career and Falls on Her Face, Loses Job but Wins at Life. Nanny Diaries, Devil Wears Prada. I think it reflects the fear we all have of growing up, and shows us a fantasy world where you don't have to "be a grownup," at least not the kind of grownups we fear, who are represented as the antagonists (the bosses).
The girl gets out of her bad job, ie breaking free form the prescribed mold that we the audience secretly feel we're too smart, creative, and special for, and strikes out into her own fulfilling life. And doesn't have to worry about making a libing wage in Manhattan or health insurance and never moves back in with her parents. Basically it's the ultimate fantasy.

And wow, Wendy is a big lady! She makes those guys look kind of little. Also, I hate to say it, but Pauly D is not a bad-looking guy...
