Reality Show Idea - Extreme Ironing

I had another job interview today (it was a complete waste of time - good thing I didn't have to drive far to get there).

Instead of wearing my standard blue button-down interview shirt, I decided I was feeling girlie, and that meant wearing my white blouse with the pleated sleeves. I love that shirt. A lot.

Actually, I adore the style but I hate the material. The reason? Because I hate to iron. Probably because I'm so bad at it, but no matter what, I hate ironing.

I especially hate trying to iron the pleats on the sleeves of this blouse. No matter what I end up ironing in at least a couple wrinkles which of course I don't notice until I have the shirt on, and am in the process of the final animal hair removal before leaving the house.

That's another bad side to this blouse. The fabric is what I would describe as a stretch-linen, which attracts cat and dog hair like a magnet to metal.

Anyways, with the plethora of stupid reality TV shows around these days, why not have one called Extreme Ironing? It could show people who don't know how to iron attempting to iron something complicated. I don't know what the "payoff" for not getting voted off the show could be, maybe free dry cleaning including ironing for life? The catch being that you actually have to know how to iron to earn this...

Maybe it's time for me to start getting a little more sleep if this is the sort of thing I am actually going to consider in my spare time.
