Tori & Dean

I went to see Tori Spelling at a book signing in Columbus Circle. I like her reality show because for most of it she's preggers or plump with baby weight, burping, complaining, ineptly cooking or otherwise being relatable. However when I when I saw her in person I was put off by her complete fakeness. Incredibly skinny, orange tan, bleached platinum blond, caked with make-up. There was very little that reminded me of her reality show "character." 

When she came out, the photogs went wild shouting "Tori! to the left, in the corner Tori! to the right! over here Tori! Tori!" and then for about ten seconds they shouted

 "Tori & Dean!" and then went right back to just "TORI!". They were so overwhelming and overpowering for a moment I really understood how paparazzi could interfere with your life and frighten you. 

Dean sat in the corner looking bored (but cute! and very similar to how he appears on the show). I don't know if I will like this season as much. Tori's completely manufactured appearance doesn't speak well for any pretense to reality. It reminded me too much of acting- broke the illusion.
