"Topshop is a turn off, high street is an absolute no no"

So I've just caught up with this weeks new reality drama 'Made In Chelsea'. I have to say I was very sceptical of another reality series being shown since the success of trash worthy 'The Only Way is Essex' and the upcoming take on Jersey Shore,  'Geordie Shore' to be shown on VIVA. I guess now we live in an age where real lives are so much more interesting than scripted soaps, although I'm sure that these people do not live with this much drama in their lives. Made In Chelsea seemed to be the complete opposite of everybodies perceptions of the Chelsea 'rah' lifestyle. I personally expected the Ugg Boots to be on the feet of Cheska rather than Joey Essex, but without an Ugg in sight the programme still seemed to follow on with peoples perceptions of the Jack Wills generation. I'm sure that even the middle and upper classes in Chelsea would turn their noses up at the way the young adults on the programme are portraying themselves. After all, speaking in the Queens' English, refering to your job title as being a 'socialite' and driving a Landrover is a dead cert' of wealth, right?
