Totally Obsessed-New show on VH1

[Livia]

Have any of y'all seen this yet? The Peter Pan dude? The woman who is trying to weigh 500 pounds, on purpose? The Miami Vice dude who had Tubbs at his wedding?

Discuss!

Yeah, those are some sick puppies on that show. The lady wanting to weigh 600 pounds, that is just insane. Not healthy, not smart, and most certainly, NOT SEXY!! EWWWW!!!

The Cabbage Patch Kid parents....yeah, they need therapy.

My dad said he saw the Munsters house people in the paper once. They're from Waxahachie...and unfortunately, not Waco (Wacko.).

The guy should have married Tubbs.

I'm not obsessed with anything, well, not like any of those people, anyways. I don't take out loans to fund my FM/LB "obsession".

I missed that episode, but how about that Kitten chick - everything she owns is pink! I almost peed when she dyed her white cat pink using Kool-Aid.

PS - I also caught the Cabbage Patch people - I'm speechless.

Something about the Cabbage Patch Doll people seemed... fake to me. I think it was the daughter's attitude. The mood was just too stilted to be real.

I did! For my first front row ticket this year. It's not as dramatic as it sounds, i was just broke and i had to get the ticket right then...

The extenuating circumstances were also that i was turning 30. I feel perfectly justified

I know her!!! When I saw the promo for the episode I freaked out, and I literally stopped breathing when her segment finally came on. How many times does the average person see someone they know being featured on TV, not to mention Vh1???

We worked together for several years in a Hasting's music store in west Houston. This was the early '90s, and she was going by "Pinky" at the time. She was obsessed with Annie Lennox/Eurythmics. She always wore a pink cowboy hat, pink blazer, pink lipstick, and carried around a pink "My Little Pony" lunchbox. Strangely enough, I can't remember her real name, and now she's changed it to "Kitten K. Sera".

She recorded a promising indie album under the name "Pinque" in 1993 or 1994 and had a loyal following around town, even performing a couple of showcases at a few prominent nightclubs. I always felt really sorry for her when Pink released her first album in the late '90s ... I had long since fallen out of touch with her, but I guessed it would be the doom of the "Pinky/Pinque" persona. How wrong I was!!!!

And yes, what you saw on the episode was really her -- obsessiveness, mood swings, and all. My fave part was her describing her pink coffin -- she had a depressed mood swing and started rocking back and forth a little. But she was fun and smart (really!) and could party with the best of them, in a good way.

Oh my gawd, did ya'll see the Ninja Turtle lady? She took out loans as well to buy the original Turtle costumes. When she had that fight in the front yard dressed up as as Michaelangelo I almost died. Jeez. Another flake was the lady who was obsessed with Lord of the Rings. How embarrassing to have a mother who takes cardboard cut-out figures to a restaurant, talks to them, mediates "fights" and orders freaking food for them. What is the world coming to?
BTW..I felt a little sorry for "Pink Lady", she seemed a little on the sad side, at least to me.
