No woman in her right mind would consent to wearing a corset for a month. Especially a skinny-challenged woman like myself. But dreams of being debt-free danced in my head when I received the offer to appear on a reality TV show. A Month in the Life of a Victorian Duke is about real people -- like me -- pretending to live on an English estate, circa 1879. Sounds fun, no? Well, it wasn't all it was cracked up to be.
