the many layers of "the hills"
Lauren Conrad was caught by photogs visiting a friends house in LA on April 18, looking like a little ray of sunshine in her vibrant sundress (from her own line?). For a similar frock, check out Shumaq's Coti Dress in Yellow. Lauren brought along one of her trademark Chanel bags for her day out and about, and further accessorized with a dainty charm necklace (like Maya Brenner Designs' World Peace Necklace in Silver) and a pair of square framed shades (similar to JeeVice Optics' Red Hot Sunglasses in Brown Fade). While it is no secret that much of "The Hills" is less than real, Lauren is speaking out about how drawing the line between real life and "reality television" can get a bit hazy. For instance, Conrad is not allowed to talk about what is coming up on the new season, even though media coverage is always heavy surrounding the starlet, and celebrity weeklies can't get enough "Hills" scoop. Lauren says, "We find ourselves in a situation where things are being reported months and months before they show up on the show. Media will report on our everyday lives, but the thing is, our everyday lives is the television show, so it gives away what's going to happen." What a tangled web Lauren lives! She continues, "That's the way the show's meant to be. It's meant to be an unscripted drama. [The Hills] does not address the celebrity that comes with it, and I probably would not be able to do [the Lauren Conrad Collection] without the celebrity that comes with the show. They chose not to include it and I didn't really want to include it because I try to separate the line and the show." This conversation is getting pretty deep.. what is your take on the show?
