I’ll admit that I’ve watched every episode of the HBO series “Girls.” It’s a guilty pleasure and it dawned on me, vapid, shallow, horrible people being horrible to each other Girls is a fictional prequel to the Real Housewives of NY. In fact so much that I’d love to see a mashup with the other HBO series “True Detective” wherein the scene where Marty is given a flask to drink through watching a graphic crime, is swapped with scenes from Girls.

“Girls” or Life Imitates Art
Like the need to gawk at an accident, I’ve watched the HBO series “Girls” and as my fiancĂ© will attest I often comment on how ever character in show is a shallow, horrible person and I wonder if people like this really exist.
Today while reading a psychiatrist’s analysis of “Girls” it hit me, there are people truly this horrible and to find them all you have to do is watch any of the shows on Bravo. When Kelly watches an episode of the “The Real Housewives” and I’m in the room I have to do something that involves the use of headphones or leave the room entirely. The people on Bravo made me realize that “Girls” is life imitating art and there are people who are that horrible that deserve my visceral contempt.
