90210

90210

It’s one of life’s guilty little pleasures, the all new 90210. I really think it’s getting its act together. Starting out as a sappy family friendly show with well intentioned overall bad acting, I think we’re finally getting somewhere.

It helps that the focus is not completely on Annie anymore. She’s cute, but she’s so goody goody I hope that in good ol’ BH-90210 style, she’ll get addicted to something soon. Guess drugs are out after last episode, but hey, there’s always painkillers!

I loved the old show and that started out sappy too, and then from one day to the next they were all having sex (well, apart from Donna, but hey, she got addicted to pain killers!) and getting date raped and stuff. I think that’s just around the corner for the all new 90210. I’m glad they’ve moved with the times and are not advocating abstinence and carting everyone who ever has a drink off to rehab.

And they’re not all bad actors, Naomi (AnnaLynne McCord) for one is ok.  One of the biggest beefs I have with Naomi is not her acting, it’s her age. She’s only 20 in real life, but she looks a well preserved 40. She looks older than her mom and a lot less hot, and this is the local IT- girl?

Which brings me to the biggest flaw: the clothes, the godawful clothes! These girls, Naomi, Silver, Adriana, they are supposed to be incredibly wealthy and hip, then why on earth do they dress like THAT? Last episode, uberpopular bitchqueen Naomi dressed in some kind of home made dirndl dress and Adriana, the budding starlet, in something off the rack at Walmarts’. Where is the Fashion? The Louboutins, the Prada, the Rodeo Drive bling? So far, the girls mothers look way more fashionable than they do and the guidance councellor fgs wears better shoes! Don’t know where you went to school, but I sincerely hope I was more with it than my guidance councellor. Then again, he didn’t look much like Kelly Taylor…

Anyway, whoever is in charge of the outfits @ 90210 could learn a lot from watching Gossip Girl. Or HIMYM.
