So, who do you go out with? Would you pick mom (Lisa)...or daughter (Brittny) ...or BOTH?

Gastineau Girls television show.

I've been watching this show and at first I just thought it was a silly show, although I did admire Lisa's chutzpah and sensibility.

I think it might be interesting to see what fellow MacNNers think.

[CollinG3G4]

YEAH!
Hey, i just got the Simple Life 2 on DVD.

Snaps for me!!!!

[Cody Dawg]

We're not talking about Paris and Nicole. We're talking about Lisa and Brittny...GASTINEAU.

[anthonyvthc]

The daughter is BANGIN'! Moms not too bad either.

**shudder**

Neither.

a) I prefer "my" women surgically unaltered - as in not like that:

• 

That old hag looks like a high school science experiment gone terribly wrong.

b) I prefer women with a natural smile - as in not like that:

• 

And the young hag looks like she is suffering from severe facial cramps - o'd on botox if you ask me.

Both of them are repulsive to the point where I'd rather go out with a guy. It is beyond me why any woman would do that to herself - let alone think that she looks better after whatever "procedure" she put herself through.

Imagine waking up next to something that in the morning and seeing her without make-up for the first time ... argh, I think I'm getting sick.

Gross.

[Cody Dawg]

You think they're, what did you call it, "hags?"

[effgee]

Yup, I absolutely do - artificial, uninspring, run-off-the-mill, surgically enhanced hags. Given the right doctor, visagist and wardrobe, almost any woman will look like identical to those two dolls - if not better. And I am not using the term "doll" in the same context one would usually refer to a "hot chick". Rather, imagine an assembly line at a Barbie manufacturing plant - plastic, artificial, one in a million - that's what I mean.

Too common for my personal taste. If I want to be bored out of my mind, I'll get me a copy of Cosmopolitan, Marie Claire or Shape - at least I don't have to see those ladies without make-up in the morning.



I'm not saying you should agree with me - after all, everybody has their own taste and set of demands.

  Would you please look at the facial skin of the blond chick? See it? Memorize its appearance for a second.
  
  Now, take a very, very good look at her hand. See the skin?
  
  Now look at the face again ... and compare the two.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with getting old - even "older" women can look very sexy. But (talking to the blond chick in the photo) for god's sake - have some fscking dignity and don't try to sell yourself as 28yr-old when you're actually closer to 58.

That is pathetic.

And now please excuse me while I go and throw up my lamb steak from 20mins ago.

(edit: here, found a photo of the blonde's brother, the family resemblance is uncanny.)

WTF? These two get a TV show on the basis of being the ex-wife and daughter of a former pro football player?
Anyhow, the mom looks strangely familiar...

[Apple Pro Underwear]

Milf does a body good

i like the idea of a woman who has more life experience than you submitting to "getting hit"


bling bling!!

[sugar_coated]

The is not about who I would go with, it is a question of who among them would go out with me! In any relationship, even if it may be transient it is important to understand that there are two individuals involved in coming together mentally first and then physically, without a good understanding of this you may as well take your dog out for a walk.

[demograph68]

Makes me wonder what other inspirational shows I'm missing.

Not just any football player, but a guy who made his name in New York. I guess that means something. Maybe Michael Strahan's kids will have a reality show in 20 years.

Anyway, here's an article about deal ol' Dad:

http://www.nfl.com/teams/story/NYJ/5823858

[Cody Dawg]

I happen to think that the show is funny and I think that Lisa Gastineau has good sensibilities.

The daughter is a princess...to her dad. Lisa is living off of investments that she wisely made. Anyway, the daughter goes out looking for an apartment and the ONLY one that will "do" is one that is $10,000 clams a month. She comes home and honestly expects her mother to pay for that apartment for her. Lisa says no - get a real job and pay for it yourself.

I happen to think that personality goes a long way when it comes to "beauty" and Lisa Gastineau is funny and self-deprecating. She pokes a lot of fun at herself.

Anyway, seriously, she is the mother of a 22-year old daughter.

How many of YOUR mothers look like Lisa Gastineau?

Thankfully my mother never felt it necessary to go under the surgeon's knife to pretend that she's younger than she is. Yet still my dad didn't divorce her.
As somebody said above, look at the hands, then look at the face. Urgh.

[d4nth3m4n]

though it makes me an evil person, i would do them both. at the same time. been waiting for a mother daughter duo for a while now, and these two with their mix of looks (i don't want to hear it), boy craziness and saving account balance are the ideal duo.

so, where do i sign up?

[analogika]

I concur with effgee.

Fantastic plastic has absolutely no appeal to me beyond the freak-show aspect.

Just like the inevitable airbrushed-to-hell magazine photographs of virtually everybody who's considered desirable.

Completely devoid of any semblance of humanity.

:shudders:

[Cody Dawg]

How do you know that they've had plastic surgery? Seriously?

I can't tell. I guess I'm stupid?

Agree 100% on personality. I've never seen the show so my impression was based on face value (quite literally). But I remain convinced that anyone (aside from accident victims or people suffering from conditions such as birth defects, etc.) who thinks that he/she needs surgery in order to improve their physical appearance has much more pressing issues that should be dealt with first.

It's sort of like with an old car - it's rusty, the engine doesn't run that well anymore and you're generally embarassed to be seen with it. And all you do is repaint it? That's doctoring around to relieve symptoms instead of finding and fixing what causes the problem(s) in the first place - it's bullshit.

In my book, that's a clear sign of a weak personality and low self-esteem. I have no time to waste going out with a basket case whose facial skin is so tight that you never know whether she's smiling or in severe pain.

She doesn't look anything like her - and thank the Lord for that, too. If she did, the first thing I'd do is to make sure that she sees a shrink ASAP.

Why the fsck is everybody afraid of getting old? Spineless bunch.

[effgee]

Look at the skin of the old hag's hand and face and compare the two, for crying out loud. Yeah, maybe she suffers from some exotic skin condition that makes the skin on her hands look 40yrs. older than that of her face?

Probability of that being the case? Below 0.0001%, if you ask me.

I'd just like to note that YOU were the one to suggest that.


In the photograph where mom (I assume the bonde is mom) is on the right, do as effgee suggested and look at her hand, and then look at the face.

Are you really *so* used to surgically deformed faces that you can't even *tell*!!???

That is rather frightening, iWrite.

Almost as frightening as those welded-into-permanent-plastic-smile faces.

My, aren't you witty today.



YOU'RE the one who obviously keeps those kinds of pictures handy.

[d4nth3m4n]

cody, you're vain and jealous that you didn't have the foresight to tag a football star before your looks dropped. oh well at least you can still go windsurfing on camera at BEAUTIFUL JUPITER INLET, FLA!!!!11!

yes they look amazing, but if you think that is unaided you're sadly mistaken. it's merely a mildly interesting show about rich people who needed more money so they figured they'd cash in on their opulent lifestyle.

can we lock this "discussion" already? before things get out of hand?

































































... but i'd still hit and run.

[Cody Dawg]

"Before my looks dropped?"



Honestly, I don't think my looks have "dropped" but if they have, fine with me. I don't need "looks" as you say.

As far as "bagging" a football player, I didn't need or want to. I have my own money, enough to own three houses, and have money left over. Besides, football players are not my type. I prefer guys who like to skydive. Ride motorcycles fast. Ski double black diamonds. Guys like my husband.

As far as windsurfing at "beautiful Jupiter Inlet," you sound jealous.

But, today I am going down to South Beach for a day of shopping, sunbathing at the beach, and having lunch at News Cafe, so there will be no windsurfing for me today.

[SamuraiDL]

love them older women...

Three, huh? Not two, not five but three. Seems like that's quite the important detail. Don't know how else to put it, so I'll just say it - that in itself (while I hope that it's not the case) sure does sound kinda sad.

What's with the fixation on looks and age . . . and motherhood?
Is there something you want to share with us?
Are you looking for some validation?

My Mom is a frumpy, dumpy, wacky 67-year-old widowed former nun.
How she LOOKS has nothing to do with how I feel about her or anything to do with what makes her important to those around her.

For the record, they aren't very hard to find...

[budster101]

I viewed about 5 minutes of the show... and came to the following conclusions both based on what I have read in this thread as well and my viewing experience.

This was the episode where the dog needed cloths...

Responses:

1. Gag.
2. Rich Beotches with too much time on their hands
3. Dumber than dumber'er
4. I'd hit it. (6 pack needed)

Commentary / Op-ed

What is it with all these bimbo reality shows?

- Growing up Gotti
- Gagnow girls
- Paris and Nicole (vomit)
- Anna Nicole Show
- Bachelorette - <cough>scripted<cough>

They all say the same thing and evoke the same pre-determined expected responses.

Hey look at us! We ain't bright but we got money and aren't afraid to flaunt it on television.

[Jim Paradise]

Under 'Goals' on the linked site: "Wants to reestablish a career in modeling and shack up with 10 or so dogs."

The Q and A on that site was abysmal. Why does a show like that need to air?

[the_glassman]

I'd hit it at least two times. Once for myself and once for all my MacNN Homiez. Maybe PIIDB?

[E's Lil Theorem]

I'd go out with both of them. It's not like we're talking marriage here. We're talking about going out a simple date, you know, maybe dinner and a movie or something like that. In my book, both of them qualify for that.

[Wiskedjak]

Originally posted by Jim Paradise:

Because it probably costs hardly anything to produce and people will watch it (and, more importantly, the ads that air with it). Case in point: the original poster

[Cody Dawg]

I do watch it. Why? Maybe because I'm shallow. Vapid. Superficial.



I admit it. It's a mindless show that I put on when I'm working on the computer or trying to file things and it's amusing to listen to their exploits, that's all. The news depresses me. I find it fascinating that they are the subject of a reality television tabloid show and I'd rather amuse myself with a nothingness television show than get depressed about Syria, Lebanon, the Italian reporter who says that we purposely tried to kill her at checkpoint Charlie, or some other dismal news.

[wdlove]

I'm already happily married, so its neither one of them. Not sure what kind of friends they would be.

[effgee]

The Italian reporter got shot in Berlin?
</cheap shot>





Sorry, couldn't help it - no evil thoughts involved, though. The opportunity to make a cheap joke was simply too tempting. I am terribly weak at times

Oh my god, I am totally in love with you! I wish my woman was like you. She can be a downer sometimes with all her "reality".

Sometimes I just wanna watch the Simple Life and jerk off, yet she can't seem to understand that.

Do you have any advice?

It's from Terry Gilliam's "Brazil", which comes highly recommended.
