I can't believe they made Gloria Steinem share a scene with a flaccid dick pic. Also, Carrie's sensitivity about sharing a photo with someone with a walker, then seeming to mentally separate herself with the woman struggling to climb the stairs, seems very hypocritical from someone who, just last season, had her hip replaced. Charlotte's affinity for Harry's jizz seems a complete 180º from her previous effort to keep his bare ass off her furniture. Miranda following Che to California brings up memories of her chiding Carrie for giving up her life to follow the Russian to Paris. Very little about these characters seems familiar to me.

Abortion is possible. I didn't believe her, either. If it was a miscarriage, then, in the weeks leading up to the miscarriage, she obviously didn't care enough about the fetus to quit smoking. I wonder if Lindsay realizes that all her self-absorbed storytelling and excuse making means no one believes her when/if she's telling the truth. I keep flashing back to when Dina was on camera with the ghost writer. The paranoid way she acted really made it seem as if she's hiding something, which, of course, makes one think that there's little in her book that can be believed.

While I believe Lindsay's parents failed her (and continue to do so) completely. I don't believe they are fully to blame for all of Lindsay's problems. People rise above their upbringing everyday. There are plenty of quality men and women out there who grew up in situations much worse than Lindsay's and they were smart enough to recognize their situation, take control of their own paths and do well for themselves. Yes, Lindsay's parents failed her; then Lindsay failed herself.

The best part about this show is that they devote so much time to Lindsay and Dina trying to manipulate what the crew films. Dina is such a pro she can't figure out that just because she steps into the next room doesn't mean her mike isn't still on. Her brother kept saying he just wants her to be happy. The poor sap doesn't see that everyone letting Lindsay do what makes her "happy" is what has made her the way she is in the first place. The editing on this show is really bad and choppy as hell. I assume it's because they probably don't have much decent footage to use.

I think the dude she blew off was a record exec at Sony --still, not a smart move. I wish I could find something to like about this chick, but I can't. I think even Dina things she's a lost cause. You could hear her trying to convince Lindsay to take the money instead of more clothes. While I think Dina is her own special kind of train wreck, in the few times they've shown her, the expression on her face is one of resign. It's like looking at one of those parents on Intervention when they think their child will never recover.

Lindsay talking about wisdom. BWHaHhHAHAHahahahHAHAHAHA Also, enough with the boobs already. Knit horizontal stripes do not go well with big braless boobs.

I can't argue that Lindsay came from a messed up family. She was the bread winner and her parents seemed to be more interested in partying than raising their child. That said, it is always necessary to own one's problems. Tossing blame doesn't resolve anything. Fault aside, it is up to Lindsay alone to solve her problems, but that will never happen until she gains some self awareness. She sees herself as a victim. I spend a lot of time with high school athletes, and whenever they feel they are losing due to alleged bad officiating or some other factor, I always tell them that it's impossible to be a victim and a champion at the same time. You have to choose a mindset. You have to control what you can (one's performance), and adjust for what you can't (officiating, weather, etc.). Until Lindsay is able to see herself more objectively, she will never move forward in her life, let alone her career. It would also help for her to realize that the behavior she's displaying on this show won't make anyone rush to work with her.
