I am ridiculously and obscenely obsessed with The Only Way is Essex and I can't get enough of Amy's "How funnaaay" or Harry's "Shattaappp"! The English county that was once ridiculed for its tacky appearances and horrible accent is now being glorified and celebrated in this reality tv show. The stars of the show epitomize stupidity and the constant drama is obviously staged, so why do we love it so much? Because Amy and Joey's geographical knowledge make us feel a bit clever? Because Lauren and Mark's nine years of relationship problems seem like nothing in comparison to ours? Because our boyfriend isn't as fat as Arg? Or maybe just because it's so light hearted and easy to watch? Whatever it is, ITV's TOWIE has made everyone want to be from Essex. Whether it's realistic or not, its harmless and fun! The fake tans, fake eyelashes and fake boobs make us all a little bit more comfortable with embrasing our inner 'Essex'. There was a time when we used to laugh at Essex, but now we just laugh with Essex. Soon, everyone will be flooding to Essex to get in on the action. I'm going out with the girls tomorrow night and I know I'm going to try and pull off my best Essex-girl look... I'm gonna look reem! Shuuut up hunaaay!
