A Pretty Good Show

I consider The View a good show when I don't get ticked off about something a co-host has said or done. Today's show featured the most famous Kardashians: Kourtney, Kim and Kloé who are promoting their clothing line at Sears. I think the girls are cute and generally pleasing. I admire siblings who get along so well, and their mother is a marketing genius.

Many dedicated designers who have worked for years on their craft deserve a clothing line more than the Kardashians do. But welcome to the real world. I'll admit that their clothes are pretty tasteful, maybe even clever. I wish they weren't so tight. In my world of fashion, tight appears slutty. But these clothes aren't being marketed to me and my age group.

The View featured Marcy Borders, a young woman made famous by a photographer who snapped her photo as she ran from one of the Twin Towers on 9-11:

Marcy hadn't fared well during the last 10 years. She'd dealt with the pain of trauma with drugs, mainly crack. She says that the capture of Osama bin Laden removed much of her fear that she could be attacked again. She has been clean for 150 days.

In general I enjoyed the show.
