Reality TV: Hawaii Pet Photographer’s Background Noise

Friday, May 14th, 2010

Some in the blogosphere may wonder: WHAT DOES HAWAII’s PET PHOTOGRAPHER WATCH WHILE CREATING MAGIC?  If you are among those asking, then you may need help OR an answer.  The answer is hawaiipetphotos.com “watches” Reality TV.

OK, OK, we enjoy it, but the reality of Reality TV is that you can follow the lack of story-line on audio without looking at the video.  So, when reviewing proofs or touching up images, we have our shows on in the background.

Sunday… “Amazing Race” and “The Apprentice”

Monday… “The Bachelor” or “The Bachelorette”

Tuesday… “Biggest Loser”

Wednesday… “Top Chef”

Thursday… “Survivor”

Friday and Saturday……..well, it’s Friday and Saturday

We are waiting for “Big Brother,” our intial addiction.  This show hooked us with Dr. Will.  We became fascinated by the ability of one guy in a group of strangers manipulating the entire group to adhere to his will…literally and figuratively.  From that point, we compared all others to him.  We include Russell of Survivor to this.

NEWS BREAK: RUPERT SENT PACKING FROM SURVIVOR:HEROES VERSUS VILLAINS!!!!!!!!

The current “Survivor: Heroes versus Villains” has been particularly intriguing.  Russell is scheming and forming alliances with all the women.  Rupert and Sandra have discerned his intent, but they are powerless in the face of his machinations.  Parvati has proven that she may be the best Survivor ever, she manipulates with silent precision.  Russell could never match her looks and silent cunning.

Although we are fans of the Biggest Loser, the basis for choosing the contestants seems to reward a lifetime of food abuse.  These people are not just fat, they are morbidly obese.  Unfortunately, it seems that many of the contestants and even past champions return to their wicked ways.

While we like the Bachelor and the Bachelorette, the inclusion of Jake and even Melissa on the past two seasons of “Dancing With The Stars,” has sunk the latter to below Kathy Griffin’s D list.

We no longer watch “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition,” since the focus moved from the gadgets and furnishings to almost exclusively focusing on tugging heart strings.  And, what about the pets?  There are never pets!!

“American Idol” has too many seasoned pros with record contracts now.  Also, no Paula…no Deb McGuire Photography!  With Simon leaving, who will be forced to become the “bad cop?”

As to “Real House Wives,” what is “REAL” about them?

We like “Flipping Out,” because Jeff needs psychotherapy.  We also enjoy “Million Dollar Listing,” because all three of the boys are train wrecks.

Deb McGuire Photography would like to know one thing:  ”When Reality Show contestants are away from home for months at a time, who is watching their pets?”

Hawaii Pet Photographer: OMG Starla’s Seat at Chad’s Table

Thursday, May 13th, 2010

Starla in high chair on Hawaii Pet Photographer siteOahu Pet Photographer, Deb McGuire, was checking up with Starla (chihuahua…Chad Rogers…Bravo’s “Million Dollar Listing”).  We happened upon an item in the blogosphere: “Million Dollar Listing’s” Starla (the Chihuahua) is Sitting High.”   The article was written by Ann Brenoff and can be found at http://www.luxist.com/2010/04/20/million-dollar-listings-starla-the-chihuahua-is-sitting-hig/.

For those who do not want to read the article: STARLA HAS A SEAT AT THE TABLE.  Hammacher Schlemmer sells a “chair” that attaches to the edge of your dining room table.  While we long ago gave up our efforts to keep our cats from joining us at dinner time, most people would draw the line at giving their furry friends a seat at the table.

In fairness to Chad, the article does not specify whether Chad actually purchased the item or just allowed Starla to model the chair, we have to assume that any pet who has legal standing, probably has a seat at the table.

Rest assured, hawaiipetphotos.com will continue to follow Starla and her strangely coifed human Chad.

HAWAII PET PHOTOS ASKS: CAN YOU DO THAT?!

Tuesday, November 10th, 2009

I admit that I watch Bravo’s “Million Dollar Listing.”  Train wreck comes to mind. 

For those not familiar, three “interesting” young LA realtors are living the reality TV experience.  One, Chad, thinks he is a brand, and he spends each episode worrying about his hair. 

Why is this “interesting” young man the subject of a hawaiipetphotos.com blog?  This week, Chad decided that he and his girlfriend, Victoria, needed an ownership agreement…FOR THEIR DOG! 

Yes, Chad asked Victoria for a formal joint custody agreement for their dog…JUST IN CASE THEY BREAK UP!  Chad cannot commit to his girlfriend, but he wants to make certain that they share the dog.  He made it all better by taking Victoria to meet his life coach. 

You’ve got to love LA. 

Chad Rogers’s dog, Starla, is a long-haired chihuahua who often rides in Chad’s briefcase to client meetings.
