the biznisss
i've started watching unscripted on hbo. i've only seen a couple of episodes...and each and every time i get my panties in a bunch. each and every time.
maybe it's my disdain for the insidiouness of the "industry" in los angeles, the very thing that gave me pause upon my migration to the southland from my precious san francisco, and you can kind of smell it everywhere. over the last three years i've learned to do my best to sidestep the scene the best i can. filter out the writers, wannabe actors, grips (well except for that one very cute 24-year-old i couldn't resist...*blush*), directors and random west side star sightings i manage to navigate fairly well between and through the superficiality of living in los angeles.
but watching this show is like witnessing a train wreck...i just cannot seem to look away. i am perplexed by the flocks of people that flood into los angeles to be a part of an industry that is so blatantly brutal, vicious, backstabbing and tears apart the very people that are falling all over themselves just for the mere opportunity to stand on the sidelines.
totally perplexing.
