Secrets of Aspen
Everybody in Aspen keeps asking us about the VH1 docu-soap, SECRETS of ASPEN. We'll reserve judgement until we see it, but ....we're afraid....very afraid.
Everyone has their own relationship with Aspen, their own"Aspen Idea". MIND, BODY, SPIRIT. Aspen is a beautiful, magical place, a ski town with roots in mining. Secrets of Aspen will show that 'gold-digging' is a full-contact sport in Aspen --and compares it to the world's oldest profession. Secrets of Aspen is clearly not a true depiction of Aspen, it will show a small, vapid and superficial facet of our "life-style". Based on the 4 minute trailer we viewed on Facebook, we're concerned that the "actors" and Aspen will ultimately be embarrassed. It looks dirty, like you need a shower, dirty.

FULL DISCLOSURE: We attended a few of the the VH1 events. Two house parties last January---(click REALITY BITES for a re-cap) and we "sneaked" into Brooke's 25th Birthday bash where a cake fight "spontaneously" broke out and hilarity ensued. We also crashed The SEXY SINGLES AUCTION (stay classy, The Little Nell and The Buddy Program). A-Spin did not sign a waiver or release form, nor did we eat or drink anything at these scripted events for fear of the "roofie effect". Its true, we have a face "made for blogging" so we avoided the cameras and the big time, beanie wearing, walkie talkie carryin' folks from High Noon and VH1 who produced secrets of Aspen.

Secrets of Aspen may be a hit. If so A-Spin will be banned from the Emmy Awards. The first episode airs JANUARY 3, 2010 on VH1, the same high-class channel that brings you Flavor of Love, Tough Love, Sex Rehab and Basketball Wives. No one can resist gawlking at a train wreck---so we'll be tuned in. Click A-Spin's pre-season scouting report; Meet Laura, Brooke, Kat ,Star, Shana, Erin, Ben and more. Oy Vey.

It looks like a show that may have been more fun to make than it will be to watch but I bet the parties are a blast.
NIce turn of a phrase ~ a face "made for blogging" ~ I am going to steal that
Oldest Profession. That is exactly what I thought by the preview put out. Frankly even the blond doing the stripper bit by the window at the scripted party made me want to get out a dollar bill for a table dance. ;))))))
And frankly aren't they in the oldest profession guild by selling themselves for this show. They are an embarrasment to women that aspire to break that glass sealing. These woman want to reinforce it.
But I see the showing opening each and every time with a "Red Lamp" in the window.
I totally agree with you. I was only in Aspen for three months, but that was definitely long enough to understand and appreciate the beauty and magic of this amazing town. Its one of the most unique places I've ever been due to the combination of excellent skiing and an actual town full of culture. I will never forget it, and hope to come back many times. To see this tv show drag the place's reputation through the mud is very disappointing. Aspen is already very misconstrued by the rest of the country, and this will be a final blow, validating the idea that Aspen is just a place for uncultured, uneducated women to prostitute themselves. Quite a shame! Then again, we haven't actually seen the show yet so let's hope we are wrong. But based on the little previews, it is not looking good!
As a former Aspen local many moons ago this reality show is fake from the pretending locals to their implants. It does not show the true Aspen, or the Aspen spirit. It is 4 very fake women that are using this as a platform to be celebrity stars. Frankly the worlds oldest profession came to mind when watching the trailer.
Quite frankly I think VH1 would do better having a reality show about Andy doing his everyday gig. My goodness that would be very entertaining and show the TRUE ASPEN SPIRIT. They could call it: "Andy in Aspen" ;-)
What happened to the ski culture? That is the best and biggest part of Aspen. Why we are here. They need to view that more than anything. We are more known for sports than "gold-digging." This is a top notch mountain with world class athletes. VH-1 missed it completely. Summer is one facet but, winter is why we are all here. To have a good time and to ski some of the worlds most difficult terrain, not to find love and security. That is found through our friendships and the love of snow.
While the "Secrets of Aspen" is airing, several real Aspen girls will be in Mammoth competing at a Grand Prix.
Gretchen Bleiler, Jordie Karlinski, Kyla Sobieralski, and Molly Wilson are the REAL women of Aspen!!
As I know we have more then "few men" in Aspen,,,this show ,,,its a joke!!!
lol
all dumb stupid sluts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
