So lately I've been loving Jezebel, a Gawker Media blog that touts itself as a website featuring "Celebrity, Sex, Fashion. Without The Airbrushing." Today, my love was cemented when they linked to this vintage Real World: Seattle clip. As someone who loved watching the Real World (well, until after the Vegas season) throughout my adolescence and young adulthood, seeing the sauciest moments again via the Internet is kind of the best thing ever.
So, check out that clip. For the uninitiated, some background: Irene has Lyme Disease, and side effects of this illness apparently include raging bitchiness. So, she pretty much picks fights with everyone, blames it on Lyme Disease, and then decides to leave the house. In the clip, she's leaving. She and Steven have a catty squabble before he slaps her (first physical confrontation on the Real World EVER!) and then tosses her teddy bear into the river.
