If I were a rich girl (na, na, na, na, na...)

More specifically, if I were Ally Hilfiger and Jaime Gleicher, i would star in "Rich Girls 2" or at least put "Rich Girls" in syndication. What would be even more worth while, is if it came out on DVD, or if a kind stranger put it on youtube.com ( I already checked, no one has). Here are my home girls, Miss Ally and Jaime:

I miss this show. I miss this show as much as everyone misses pre-K-Fed Britney. When the first (and only) season ended on MTV, i felt like a part of me died. The theme song "This Town" by Lillix still rung in my head. Ally and Jaime gave me a taste of what being ridiculously wealthy in New York City felt like via reality television.

My Top 5 Favorite "Rich Girls" Moments:

1. Ally's Burrito Breakdown

The episode opens with Ally, at her swimming pool in the Hamptons, screaming into the phone "I NEVER HAD A CHILDHOOD!" Boohoo. I know I would cry if my dad was Tommy Hilfiger and everything in life was presented to me on a diamond encrusted platinum plate. Childhood, schmildhood. The most heart wrenching moment of the episode was when all Ally wanted was a burrito...and she couldn't get it. Her adventure to Whole Foods was excruciating, because the biggest challenge for Ally was "What's inside a burrito?"

2. Like, Cargo pants?

Ally and Jaime were known to have really deep philosophical conversations, especially when it came to clothing. While discussing cargo pants, Jaime made a thought provoking and completely true comment about the usage in the Midwest:

Jaime Gleicher: "People buy cargo pants in the Midwest not to say, I know, like, I can wear these stilettos and a really cool, sexy top, like I was gonna do tonight. They buy them because they have a lot of pockets and they work in the field and they need them."

Deep Jaime. Really deep. I know when I wear cargo pants, I not only think of how the large pockets conveniently fit my rhinestone studded Sidekick, but I also think of the people in the Midwest using them as they work in the field.

3. Lifesaver

"I returned my Prada bag, because if I had to have that bag or save a life, I'd rather save a life."- Jaime Gleicher

Jaime Gleicher, saving lives one designer handbag at a time.

4. All girls have image problems

Oh Michael V. You know females so well. The "Ryan Phillipe from 'Cruel Intentions'" of their school, consoles Jaime when she is upset.

Michael V.: "Even my girlfriend, who has a perfect, beautiful, ballerina body has image problems too." This translates to: "Jaime, you're a fat cow, but don't worry, even anorexic ballerinas get upset about their bodies too."

Thanks Michael. I'm all for female empowerment.

5. Prom

Who could forget Jaime's classy and flattering leopard print dress. To top it off, she accessorized with a peace sign necklace. Jaime was determined to lose her virginity that night, but when her prom date consumed too much coffee, the mission was, let's say, impossible. He ended up puking outside of their limo. Experts are not sure if it was due to the overconsumption of coffee...or the thought of deflowering Jaime Gleicher. So Jaime was left fuck buddy-less. (She later reportedly denied ever wanting to sleep with him.)

But that's okay! Marissa Cooper flew all the way from the O.C. to make an appearance!

For the sake of humanity, can we PLEASE petition for the return of "Rich Girls"
