Dr. Oz says that using olive oil lowers chances of a premature death. Does that mean Fio's fingernails, which she daily dips in olive oil, will live longer?

Fio thinks Trump's ideal world is one in which the men make loads of money and the women pose for nude photos. Notice that he hasn't blown up about those pictures of his wife. Fio suspects he may have released them himself to show her off--sort of a yada-yada-ya-ya, look what I have and you don't. Perhaps he thought they'd bring in more votes.

Fio used to watch The Little People until the Matt went meglomaniacal and all the right wing crazy stuff came out. She watches The Little Couple now, and hopes Bill Klein and Jen Arnold aren't as fake as the Roloffs turned out to be. And then there are the Duggars, but that's a bigger story--pun intended.

Enough Already!
As you know, Fiorella likes watching The Little Couple, the reality show starring dwarfs Bill Klein and Jennifer Arnold. She likes the sweet way Bill and Jen deal with each other and their adopted dwarf children. But every now and then she resents the wads of money that they throw around so easily.
Okay, Fio gets it that being a dwarf is expensive. Their homes, cars, clothes--everything they own or use has to be adjusted to their disabilities. Plus, they run up tremendous medical bills to treat various conditions caused by dwarfism. And they have to hire people to assist them in the house and with their children.
But buying a second home on the Houston beach to use on weekends is too much. And throwing a big birthday party involving pony rides and a petting zoo for a three-year-old was over the top,
Bill and Jen, Fiorella understands you have suffered and that you've worked hard and that you're good people. But a little less conspicuous consumption, please.

Television Snippets
Spoiler alert: Fio's noticed HGTV has a new gimmick going on with House Hunters. The chosen house is the one the buyers dis the most, as if it being unfurnished wasn't enough of a give-away.

Back to the old days, remember The Brady Bunch? Six kids--three blonde little girls to maintain the illusion that Florence Henderson's hair color was natural and three rowdy little boys to maintain the illusion that Robert Reed was heterosexual.
*
More info on Bill and Jen's dwarf baby. Apparently the new addition to The Little Couple is a boy, three years old, and from China, which makes Fio ponder circumstances--China will have finally reached its own stride when dwarf American-born babies are adopted over there.

Dwarf News (Revised)
Fiorella forgot to mention that she caught up with the Roloffs the other night. Amy and Zack were on an expedition to climb Mt. St. Helens while Matt was having a little red schoolhouse built for the Western town display at the Roloff farm. Jacob only appeared briefly, and Jeremy and Molly were nowhere to be seen.
Too bad. Matt, Amy, and Zachary (who practically ran up the mountain), were not enough to carry a one-hour show. Fiorella understands that climbing a mountain is tough, especially for a fifty-year-old female dwarf, but grunting gets boring after a while, and switching back and forth between the mountain climb and the construction of the schoolhouse didn't relieve the tedium. There was no real conflict--we knew Amy would reach the top, and we knew the schoolhouse would get built in time. In romance writer speak, the show had a sagging middle.
Especially dreary was Matt's constant prattle about how he was trying to please his wife with a surprise. Number one, he's used that line before to justify whatever he wants to do. Number two, it sounded like he was trying to soften the egomaniac image we all have of him. Amy also tried to polish up the family, casually mentioning that she has three kids in college now. Since Molly always took the academic high road, that must mean that Jeremy and Zack have finally gotten their heads together. Fio is happy for them, but she would have preferred a show with the old drama.
On to other dwarf news, Friend Paula told Fio that she's read that Jen and Bill have adopted a dwarf baby, just as Fio hoped. No sagging middle there.
Note to readers to rise early: This blog has been revised from an earlier version that was, unfortunately, edited last night when Fiorella's brain was fried.

Expecting and Anticipating?
Fio's heard that The Little Couple, the TV show featuring dwarf physician Jennifer Arnold and dwarf entrepreneur Bill Klein, is coming back to TLC in mid-April. Fio hopes there's a good reason the show has been MIA and its stars incommunicado for the past year and a half. Like maybe a dwarf baby?
