love me, melinda...

i think i mentioned a while back [here, or at least elsewhere] that i've become entranced by the new season of real world (austin). i haven't watched the show since season 3 or 4, but i've totally gotten roped in this year. it's abundantly clear that mtv decided to young down the cast, realizing that 20 year olds have even less impulse control than 26 year olds. as a result i think one cast member this year is 23 (the virgin), and the rest are 19-21. anyway, the show is obviously pretty dumb, and only a couple of the cast members are truly likeable. [for the record, i'll take nehemiah and melinda]. but i enjoy it, and i'm going to keep watching it.

anyway, all this is just a rationalization for posting the picture of melinda seen above. apparently all the girls posed for stuff magazine. though jo is scorching, i may have to give melinda the nod as the best looking real worlder ever. and i generally prefer brunettes. enjoy.
