Seriously, who works at MTV and decides that this is good stuff? Lame. It pains me so much to see this girl Lauren (who is more boring than oatmeal), get everything handed to her. I grew up in Laguna Beach as well and met her once, ZERO personality. She doesn't even talk. WEIRD GIRL. I've moved to L.A. since then and attended FIDM (all before her seeing how I'm 26). But it kills me knowing how I (and so many others) have to struggle so much in this city, and bob and weave through the fashion industry on our own, while this boring broad gets it handed to her on a silver platter. Who is she, and what has she done that's so deserving of all of this? She has no fashion sense, and I'm sure she figured she would just go to fashion school because it seemed right and convenient.

fashion line, for which she has received, naturally, an undue amount of press attention, even though the clothes are sub-Old Navy in design."
- "
I have yet to hear any character on the show say something interesting or funny…or see anything that expands my sense of what it’s like to be a young person in Los Angeles."
- "But
The Hillsisn’t aiming to stimulate or inspire; I think people watch it mostly to figure out why they’re watching it. For younger viewers—who are the intended audience for the series—it may be a soothing fantasy about coming of age, and give them the sense that even after they leave their parents’ house they will still be the center of attention, the way these girls are.
