Ladies of London

I didn't watch this show when it was new, but I happened to catch it in the summer reruns and have to admit that it is fascinating in the same way a train wreck holds one's attention. Anyone who has ever wondered why so many Europeans dislike Americans need only watch an episode of this dross to understand. The America expats in this series are loud, pretentious (as are some of the Brits) and without any useful purpose. All they have is money and artificial looks as the result of skillful surgeons. Convent-bred and elite (with a notable exception), these "ladies" ain't. Nevertheless the show is a masterclass in publicity seeking, self promotion and a demonstration of how far some people will go to embarrass themselves but still get attention. Bravo, Bravo!
