Made In Chelsea

Usually a sentence like 'I am ashamed to admit, my guilty TV choice is 'Made In Chelsea', yet for me I have no guilt. I really enjoy it!

I feel drawn to programmes like these because of their desire for its demographic to endure an idea of ones lifestyle. We all desire to learn what is different from our own. Increasingly throughout the series, FINALLY the editing has got fairly better and some of the shots are beautifully captured.

Getting passed the conventions and structured scenes of 'Chelsea', I would like to focus on the particular lifestyles and attitudes shown within the programme. Of course we have to take everything with a pinch of salt, hours of endless editing exists to construct a storyline and exchanged glances across the table to create drama. All bitchiness aside, I find it interesting to examine the general attitudes across each character. 

Without mentioning names, I feel that though these people may be seen as to 'have it easy', a large part of me thinks they have their priorities in the right place. Their current day to day generally seems based on sourcing pleasure. They seek when to have the next best social event or together occasion. They thrive from being around others and enjoying themselves. Sure, we all assume that the rich are delusional towards what 'living' really is, though deep down we know that if there were a choice for ourselves-as if we would turn down the lavish lifestyle. 

To have a piece of 'what shall I do today, because I can', instead of 'what shall we do in two weeks because we have to save'...I am glad to see these people enjoying themselves and making the most of what they have got. If we saw people of the such moaning all the time (all personal dramas aside) and not going out at all-I am sure we would hold grudges about the programme even more!

Sex bonus

German salesman rewarded with sex. Please tell me if I am naive in saying this, but if that is what the men wanted-is it really that wrong? There is no mention of a general consensus taken for a reward party, towards what events would take place, is it right to assume they all knew of such things to take place.

I am still surprised how often the media writes about sex, articles like this always seem surprised that people have sex-for fun! Most of the time the media features stories about affairs, women looking like sluts or men rolling around with several females (mostly in their 20s). There seems to be a natural association to sex, as it being sordid or dramatically seen as...wrong. No wonder Britain still holds the notion of 'thou shan't talk about sex'. I am getting rather bored of it.  Perhaps finance companies have shot themselves in the foot in keeping up appearances. I find it all the more amusing, considering most of the time business men are faced with attractive women everyday-men are very bad at hiding sexual interest and for a prostitute reward to be seen as something that shouldn't happen again-well the article didn't voice that some were distraught by it! Once one is seen in a social environment, a little less formal and reserved than the daily norm, worry seems to kick in. Perhaps this article and the words spoken are a sort of 'back up' to ensure the company hasn't got their priorities mixed up...

"It was a mistake but we are very sure that it was a unique event."

Though in their response, 'unique' it definitely was (I am sure they had to bite their tongues in stopping them smirking or winking at the journalist.) Prostitues, oh shame. Sex on a plate...oh dear poor them...

Sex, coffee, a stroke?

To release an article to claim such extravagances towards our favourbles, when 'a lot more research needs to be carried out', understandably there is an importance to raise awareness of such factors which can deteriorate our health but isn't it wiser to have more solid facts in research than panicking us a little too early?

I think our judgements towards the British health service become more and more sceptical when items such as the above are released-what exactly is our money being put into?
