I'm Keeping My Eye on Some College Girls

 Much to my surprise I am watching- and enjoying- "The Sex Lives of College Girls". Yeah. This is what happens when you don't have NFL channels because of the capitalist patriarchy. And you're cheap. But it's a good thing. I'm expanding my television horizons. 

I remembered seeing ads for it on HBO/MAX when I was bingeing "The Sopranos" and thinking it looked kinda stupid. If I had had to guess, I'd have thought it was like 'Sex in the City Goes to College', but I never watched "Sex in the City". I watch things like the Sopranos, so I don't know. 

I gave it a shot and I'm glad I did. It's clever, very funny and got a good amount of titties and bottoms in it. And I'd have to say, several episodes in, that it doesn't take itself too seriously. It's about four girls from different backgrounds, rooming together in their freshman year at a Vermont college. Naturally they are dealing with boys- and girls too- and sexual hijinks and hilarity ensues. This Ferrerman did not go to college, and if I did, I bet they didn't have official 'naked parties' in the 70's when I would have been eligible. I don't know if they do now either, but I must admit I have access to the "College Rules" genre of Pornhub and I can't say for sure if that is real or not. Are kids today filming orgies in their dorm rooms? The production values and 'casts' sure look like they pulled real coeds out of class, got them liquored up and had them go at each other without any regard that their dad's might be viewing. BTW, in the show, the naked parties weren't orgies, just get togethers where boys and girls were naked just to socialize in the buff, without any immediate sexual intentions. Really? OK. You tell me.

The four main girls are interesting and all good actresses. No spoilers here, but the Indian (Hindu) girl is a boy-crazy slut, the poor, small town gal has a generous helping of golden bozos and a bigger heart, the rich girl is a closeted lesbian, and the very attractive black soccer star round out the quartet of main characters. They all make poor romantic decisions. Don't we all, at any age? It's just more fun when we are young and desirable. Everybody knows that. 

I'm a sucker for stories of redemption and taking a stand, for yourself or a friend and self-discovery. This show delivers that. It's very watchable and I recommend it!


******UPDATE*****

It kinda dragged in the 3rd and final season, getting more predictable and redundant. This happens with many shows as the original writers move on to new projects and they are replaced with one's that seem to be told, "Stick to the formula". Two classic examples are, "Happy Days" and "That 70's Show". The first season of both shows were excellent! But there soon comes a time when writing is replaced by catch phrases and raucous applause when each character makes an entrance. Those showrunners and writers can "Sit on it, Potsie!" I stuck it out to see how it ends. You never know in the fickle world of entertainment if it is planned for a show to end or if the trumpian big wigs decide to just end it like they are tired of feeding poor children or something. I bet they figured on 4 seasons to match the 4 years of college, but they got into the sophomore year and it just sorta ended there. So, no "SERIES FINALE!" That's showbiz.

Molehills On the Battlefield

An odd exchange with a follower earlier. To another poster I added to his complaint about the recent trend of side-by-side reaction videos They are dumb and pretty much unnecessary. My addition was that I didn't like the ones where someone is telling a joke, and on the other side of the screen is a clip of someone laughing outrageously. Why? And perhaps worse, the split screen is used to tell a story, and the other side is some inexplicable B-roll of some unrelated product being made. Again- why? Are these first world problems? Yes. But I wasn't crying or praying to Trump that these 'creators' be deported to a Sudanese prison. I was just kinda bitching. Is that wrong? To one follower, it was! At first, I wondered if I was reading her wrong. Could someone read my post and take it so seriously? A quick perusal of my bio mentions something about me being a "gifted satirist and sarcasmist". Eh, who reads those things anyways. I also say that "DM's mean yo...

A Ferrerman Advisory Has Been Issued...

 The only people who read this blog are the fine folks at Blogger. They've seen fit to hang an advisory warning on two of my posts. As is the custom with media these days, no explanations are necessary. It's like being married and the wife is mad at you. "Well, if you don't know, I'm certainly not going to tell you!" So, I get that. Fair enough.

Her Soft Underbelly Exposed

One of the better interviewers you'll see on YouTube is Mark Laita of the "Soft, White Underbelly" channel. It's my understanding he is primarily a photographer whose interest has always been photographing the unseen segments of society- the street people, prostitutes, criminals and kinda freaks of life, that we generally ignore. Maybe it's all in the editing, but his success seems to be in letting his subjects talk without too much prompting from him. It's their story.  This episode was with a porn star- Addison Vodka. Well, that's what she goes by. Though I have seen my share of porn, I'm not on a first or last name basis with most of these people. So, I fired up the Pornhub to see what she what she was like in action. She does a good job for a girl with such a schpankable bottom. No doubt. But she was an enlightening interview. Twenty-five years old, super cute  and very engaging. Very pleasant. Just nice and very normal considering her path to porn...
