8th & Ocean

So MTV Canada finally launched, so Canadians can finally watch My Sweet Sixteen. As I was perusing the brand-spanking new channel on a Saturday afternoon, I came across a little show called 8th and Ocean.

I am hooked.

Basically the show is about a bunch of models, both male and female, who live in Miami’s South Beach and work as new models for the Irene Marie agency.

Let’s start off with Irene Marie. Homegirl is hilarious. She is the momma bear of the group and has had so much plastic surgery that she is officially non-biodegradable. Parts of her face will be around long after the world has ended.

Then of course we have the twins. Kelly and Sabrina. Sabrina unfortunately was dealing with some skin issues and had a huge acne breakout in one of the shows. She was told to stay home until her skin cleared up, which totally made her cry. You’re a fucking model. You’re judged on your looks all the time. Get a grip.

The romance on the show is provided by Teddy (a budding lothario torn between love and lust) and Britt (a devout Christian with a bod for sin). These two are playing a cat and mouse game filled with sidelong glances and inane banter.

My favourite people on the show are the bookers, especially Suzy. She is fucking fierce. She is plain-looking but knows that she’s far smarter than these girls. She also knows that their looks will fade, but her hardass attitude will be paying her for the rest of her life. She doesn’t coddle the little darlings and often tells them bitches where to go.
