FYI..Bella and boyfriend :-)

Thanks Yolanda and members here for all your tick/Lyme's discussions. No doubt the awareness gleaned from this forum and Yolanda's TV exposure has brought us to this point...yesterday hubby and I visited our doctor for deer tick bites. Hubby pulled out two and I had one. We were both infected already with dark red itchy spots with hard lumps underneath. The doctor told us we had to take two antibiotic capsules ( doxycycline hyclate, 100 mg) a day for 14-days. Our doc told us about his neighbor who had Lyme's and didn't take an antibiotic until a few weeks after the bite. His neighbor had all sorts of horrible symptoms including a heart infection. You can't fool around about this dreaded possible disease. Hopefully neither of us have Lyme's and if we do the antibiotic will help us fight it before it has a chance to take a hold. We're scheduled to have our property sprayed with a non-toxic garlic mixture this Thursday. Next year we'll start monthly spraying at the beginning of May. Hopefully that will cut down the number of ticks. Last year we sprayed every month (June to September) and were tick free. The deer population has increased due to hundreds of acres of woods being removed for a railroad terminal. Bought Elle magazine with Bella Hadid on the cover. Very nice article and photos about her. She really shows her personality with funny faces in a few of the photos. Both Gigi and Bella seem to be appreciated as nice people by those they work with. Yolanda is a good mom despite her health problems and subsequent treatment trials and tribulations. http://www.elle.com/culture/celebrities/news/a36242/bella-hadid-june-2016-cover-reveal/

Thanks STEWEDSQUASH. I've been drive-by reading lately. Good to read so many wonderful posts...lots of laughs here. Not so much with the HWs. Happy to see format improvements when posting with my iPad.

Here's Gigi headed to the Tonight Show a few hours ago. Excerpt: "Gigi worked a black and white bustier with black trousers, pumps, and finished it off with a choker necklace. Her eccentric bustier is from Rubin Singer's Spring/Summer 2016 collection."

On the way to the Tonight Show... Stunning in stripes! Gigi Hadid steps out in corset top and trousers as she heads to Tonight Show appearance By HEATHER WAUGH FOR DAILYMAIL.COM PUBLISHED: 17:28 EST, 16 May 2016 | UPDATED: 20:50 EST, 16 May 2016 Read more: http: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-3593708/Gigi-Hadid-steps-structured-corset-trousers-makes-way-Jimmy-Fallon-appearance.html

FYI: Model Gigi Hadid is a guest on the TONIGHT SHOW (Jimmy Fallon) at 11:30 EST tonight, NBC. Actor Andy Samberg is also a guest; the Kills perform. Guess I'll watch it, though I am kind of surprised to see her name there. More... http://www.nbc.com/the-tonight-show/guest/gigi-hadid/267881 GIGI HADID "Model Gigi Hadid kicked off her career as a child, appearing in campaigns for Guess Kids and Baby Kiss. In recent years, she has appeared on the international covers of Vogue, Elle and Harper's Bazaar, as well as on American Teen Vogue. Hadid, who is the daughter of THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF BEVERLY HILLS' Yolanda Hadid, has also walked the runway for Marc Jacobs, Chanel and Michael Kors and appeared in the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show."

After watching the season and three reunion shows, I'm feeling a seed change by Andy and the voices that be at Bravo. IMO only, I get the distinct feeling Bravo decision makers have taken a step back from LVP and Ken. It seems both she and Ken were put on the chopping block with scenes from past episodes highlighting that both are not nice people when it comes to interacting with housewife co-workers. Finally the way LisaR, Eileen, Erika and Yolanda were joined by Brandi seemed to signal the possible end of LVP's long RHOBH reign. It's as though Brandi was added to punctuate Bravos point of view. My opinion changed about LVP ever since Kyle's Eiffel Tower crying scenes and charges of LVP HW manipulation. I don't care for her and it looks like some at Bravo have given us more proof of her questionable ethics. Adding that my feelings are just that. LVP is a highly successful family and business woman and great supporter of many charities. RHOBH is no longer a plus for her or Ken. The way this year's episodes and reunion stack up against them is evident.

Happy the in-between advertising posts are gone! Love the new format and look...thanks PT.

ITA with your post. It appears Mo has put a distance between himself and good buddy LVP. In my opinion, LVP and Ken have lost a little of their shine, but increased their fame and finances thanks to RHOBH.

A memory of Prince...R.I.P. Prince plays a funky guitar solo at the end..."While My Guitar Gently Weeps."

What a bunch of laughs from the first reunion show. Hopefully, the other parts will be just as funny. The crying and walking out...they really brought it on. Loved coming here to catch the snark...thanks.

FYI... Statement From Tom Girardi and The Girardi|Keese Law Firm FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - March 31, 2016 http://www.girardikeese.com/Statement-From-Tom-Girardi/?dcmp=statement&gclid=CK-YgOLw7csCFYsehgodi_8NhA&_vsrefdom=p.6275

There was a document presented to Yolanda by Oz (his staff completed it). It was given to her at the end of the show. I wonder of it was constructed to show her medical inconsistencies without bringing each of them up before the TV audience. Does anyone remember what he gave her?

Yolanda only has her illnesses/cures and conflicting actions for her storyline. It has given the HW plenty of fodder and intrigue. The producers have relied heavily on this issue to drum up the negativity between the ladies this season and now the town drunk, Brandi, will be showing up to come to Yolanda's side. Personally I've had enough of this story arc. It's insulting to the viewers.
