I thought the exact opposite. Seems to me that society conditions young women to see being ultra-girly as something to be ashamed of these days. Girls are expected to be adults when they're barely even into their teens, and then it's full speed ahead to binge drinking, ladette culture and aspiring to get yourself into Zoo or Nuts or whatever.

As for their vt, I thought it was hilarious and incredibly sweet. Literally every single person I've spoken to since has disagreed with me on that score though, but whatever ... But we don't know how much they were hyped-up before that was filmed either, of course. I think their excitement on entering the house was to be expected, too. All of the other new hm's would've been in isolation with nobody other than BB staff for company, whilst the twins would've been together all of that time with their happiness, excitement, nervousness, etc. bouncing off each other. It would've been a 'squeally' moment for anyone, but magnify that by ten at least when you're first in and accompanied by your best friend, sister and twin, all rolled into one.

I don't think clothing should be used as a yardstick for character or integrity, either. If they want to be girly, let them be girly. Wearing pink and having blonde hair doesn't automatically make them shallow, or deluded. If anything, they were conservatively dressed in comparison to the likes of Charley, for example. Time will tell of course, but they weren't looking for any opportunity to expose their breasts, either (sorry, Charley fans). They're both supposedly training to be social workers, too. Although of course that doesn't automatically mean that they're streetwise and have massive IQ's. But it certainly suggests that they're intelligent enough to win places on whatever course they're studying, and doubtless they'd have gone into that with their eyes wide open as to the seedier side of society they'll soon be required to encounter, too.

I think most girls/women dream of that "big stwong man [who] will look after them one day and make everything all right". We're all capable of romantic daydreams, but we're not gullible enough to believe that he actually exists. I've no time whatsoever for Paris Hilton, and pink is pretty scarce in my wardrobe, too. But I love Legally Blonde.
