Welcome to
Super Skank Wednesday. This is where I celebrate the awesomely skanky people on the following shows:
I Love Money,
Charm School,
New York Goes to Hollywood, and
The Surreal Life. Basically, I'll discuss the skankalicious shows that make
VH1 the network it is today.
So no
I Love Money on Sunday night? Wha-what? Pshaw! How can I do my awesome picture books without a new episode?
Okay enough complaining. After the jump, I'm going to discuss a show that doesn't exist (yet) in the VH1 skanktastic line-up:
Charm School: The Men of I Love New York. I've got a list of my fantasy cast.

This Wednesday let's do another picture book fairy tale. I'm learning a lot from
I Love Money. How about you? After the jump, I have a piece I call "12 Pack's Destruction, A Tale of Hubris." I'm not a betting woman, but I don't think anyone on
ILM knows what the term "hubris" means.

After Sunday night's episode, I am reminded of the classic line from Steinbeck's novel, "The best laid plans of mice and men are often effed up by blondes with huge fake boobs and nasal voices." Or something like that. Or maybe it was from the Robert Burns' poem. But enough of this talk about low brow things like famous novels or poems. Let's get to
I Love Money.

There's been a lull in trashtastic programming lately. I'm stuck watching
So You Think You Can Dance (some of the those Latin ballroom costumes are a little slutty) and
Secret Diary of a Call Girl (scripted skankiness). I long for VH1 to start their summer of skanktacity. We got a little taste last night with the
I Love Money casting special. Check out my review after the jump.

Earlier this week I reported that
VH1 was adding to its already awesomely skanky line-up. (I told you that was Megan Hausermann with the question mark on her face!) Throughout the week, the network has been announcing the cast of
I Love Money, a competition show that will take all-stars from your favorite VH1 shows and let them compete for cold hard cash. The show premieres in July so that means this summer ... just. got. better.
After the jump, I've got the cast and some predictions. You can check out
VH1.com for full galleries of the cast members.

Welcome to
Super Skank Wednesday. This is where I celebrate the awesomely skanky people on the following shows:
Rock of Love,
Flavor of Love,
I Love New York (or whatever show Tiffany Pollard is making next),
The Surreal Life, and
Charm School. Basically, I'll discuss the skankalicious shows that make
VH1 the network it is today.
After the jump, I'm doing a
quick round-up of this Sunday's
Rock of Love 2 and Monday's
Flavor of Love 3 just in case any of
SSW readers didn't see the shows. Then it's on to the fun part. I call it
"And In This Corner." It's a series of match-ups between
Flavor of Love and
Rock of Love girls past and present.
