I hardly watch any television, because so little of what is out there manages to grab and hold on to my attention. This Slice(Canada)/Bravo (USA) channel show however has accomplished exactly that.
Oddly enough I am not pregnant, and in fact my pregnancy years are w-e-ll behind me. Also, even when I was pregnant I absolutely never wore heels, or even considered it (after all I was balance challenged in flats). Yet somehow, I find this show a total blast.
The pregnant women on the show are mostly totally whacked (entirely out of touch with the real world), however the "star" of the show, Rosie Pope the maternity concierge, is quite endearing and knowledgeable. It is interesting how she confidently rocks her clients' worlds with practical reality. The added interesting thing about her is she seems very intelligent, and is able to explain many medical issues with total clarity and accuracy. This is something precious few lay people manage to do, no matter who writes their scripts for them. I believe she is bright enough to genuinely understand the stuff she discusses (apparently she briefly studied neuroscience at Columbia). Her show also touches on a more somber side of her life, as she is amazingly candid about her own serious struggles to conceive her second child (failed IVF, ectopic pregnancy, etc). Entirely refreshing.
Thus the reason, I, a non-pregnant, rarely heel wearing, reluctant TV watching woman, am rather hooked on Rosie Pope and her Pregnant in Heels show. Worth at least a peek I think.
She also has an informative website (it includes a link to her blog) www.rosiepope.com
Enjoy :)
