'Oooo-la-la-Lisa'

Since Mauricio had just traveled to Dubai and Kyle got the royal suite, I'd guess that Mauricio footed the bill for that suite.

This documentary might address some of the questions you ask about the economy of Dubai and the crown prince. Personally I think the structure is sort of ugly but not as ugly as the building that looks like a giant phallic symbol in Beijing, China.

I think it was all the fault of her broken boobs. See? Bella thinks so too.

Lisa Vanderpump looked absolutely regal with her hair up-swept and wearing that gorgeous yellow caftan. I have seen her wear her hair up on rare occasions and it's a better look for her. Her long hair makes her almost horsey-long face appear even longer. The up-swept style really helps to lift the jowls and make her appear more youthful.

And LisaR keeps stirring the pot with Yolanda, does that make her a Master Baiter?

For anyone who just didn't get enough eye candy from Kyle's suite, here it is.

Those times when Photoshop comes in real handy

now we know

I never thought I'd get into this show because I'm about as far removed from their lifestyles as a duck is to a doughnut. But I did get into it when Kristen was still living with Tom Sandoval, so that's a while ago. There's been many relationship and hookups come and go which didn't surprise me, it's L.A. The thing that surprises me and shouldn't is how sealed off from the outside world they all are. They have no desire to know what's happening outside of their tight little emotional circle of hedonistic co-workers. Case in point is Sheana and Shay. Yes we know, Sheana did a tearful 'mia culpa' for everyone to see how sorry she is for being so uniformed about drug abuse and addiction. We saw her cry-face because she was ashamed and embarrassed about it. But Sheana, or any of them for that matter, aren't immature little teenagers anymore. She's 30 years old for cripes sake. Doesn't she ever watch the news or read something online other than twitter or Instagram? How are these people preparing to deal with the responsibilities that come with adulthood? Better question is how are these people preparing to face being a real adult, with real responsibilities and facing the fact that they're getting too old to continue on the fast track lifestyle they're living in now? Sooner or later, things will implode for a few of them. The hard life will exact it's toll on their lives. Hopefully the toll won't be a fatal one.

I have always thought James Kennedy was nothing but a stoner British dick, but at the reunion he at least looked a little more mature. All of the cast members are beginning to show the wear and tear of their swinging lives on their faces. James gets gets credit in my opinion for the funniest moment of the night. Tom Sandoval was addressing Kristen's emotional over enthusiasm, over-laughing at jokes, etc. Then James chimes and taps Tom on the back and says "and she does that wide one" as he opens his eyes and mouth wide mocking the way Kristen sometimes smiles. He looked like a psychopathic maniac at that moment. I had to replay that several times because his face made me laugh so hard. I wish I could find an animated gif of that. Is it disturbing to anyone else besides me that Lala's face and lips were purple as though she was lacking oxygen? I know they had stylists and professional makeup people preparing all of them and I just can't imagine a professional makeup artist saying to Lala "I have this awesome purple foundation which will just highlight your blue eyes". I completely agree with others who feel that Lisa Vanderpump should not be present at these reunions. Sure, she was singled out by Bravo as one of the 'special ladies' and given the opportunity to have a show featuring her naughty little servers at SUR, but really, that's as much visibility as she should have. She likes playing the Queen with her subjects and I'm sure it's a big ego trip for her. But there's enough of LisaV at the RHOBH franchise. The reunions in particular should be all about the 'kiddies' and their fucked up shenanigans without 'mamma Lisa' putting her two cents in. And yeah Lisa, the lighting in the studio wasn't complementary to your face at all. The blouse was vomit provoking. It may have been declined for sale by Walmart management because it was just too tacky for their customers and they knew it would gather dust on the shelves.

I don't know if this story has broken here on this forum or not so I apologize ahead of time if posting it is redundant. Court documents obtained by Radar state that the three Kardashian sisters are being sued for more than $180 million by Hillair Capital Management, for breach of contract, breach of covenant of good faith and fair dealing, breach of fiduciary duty, fraud and deceit, negligent misrepresentation and promissory estoppel. http://radaronline.com/celebrity-news/kardashians-sued-company-kim-kourtney-khloe-fraud-claims/

'How on earth' can any one of us 'know' anything regarding either Bruce Jenner or Caitlyn Jenner? The simple answer is that my own knowledge is based on evidence plus opinion. The indirectly evident gives some basis of claiming the directly evident to be the basis of my own knowledge. What has been indirectly evident in the past is that Caitlyn has had three unsuccessful marriages to women. What has been directly evident is the fact that Caitlyn herself has clearly stated that she would prefer to date men. With that being explained, I will stand by my opinion about Caitlyn's sexual proclivities. The fact that she faces cameras and essentially 'the entire world' with whatever she says or does on camera only complicates it further for Caitlyn Jenner. This is a person that has hid her true self for 65 years and just because she's had facial reconstruction, hormone supplementation and breast augmentation does not alter or change her brain one iota from what it has been since childhood.

When it comes to the Kardashian/Jenner family, I'm extremely suspect of everything. The appearance and 'support' of Kim and Kourtney are particularly suspicious to me. I know that this is a franchise, like Keeping Up With The Kardashians and they're probably compelled by a contract with Bravo to make appearances in I Am Cait. I'm not buying it that they're there to support Caitlyn. I believe they had little choice in the matter.

Here's one that will perhaps boggle the mind for a little while and I really didn't know where else to post it. Perhaps this has already been posted somewhere in this forum under another category. It's regarding Zackary Drucker. Most will agree that Zackary Drucker is the calm voice of reason in this group of 'bus-traveling transgender' people. She's calm, articulate and very knowledgeable. The relationship that Zackary has with Rhys Ernst is quite unique. Zackary was born to, in her own words, "two really fantastic, progressive, educated parents." It was to their credit that Zackary has been comfortable enough with her gender reassignment to retain her given birth name. Also to their credit is the fact that Zackary is very confident and comfortable with her gender reassignment. I like Zackary the best out of all the others. The first time Rhys Ernst saw Zackary Drucker was in 2005 at a bar in the East Village. At the time, they were both aspiring artists. But there was one clear impediment to romance: Rhys had never dated a man, and Zackary had never dated a woman. “I remember thinking,” Rhys said, “if I ever dated a boy, that’s the type of boy I’d date.” Today, that consideration is not an issue. Over the last five years, Zackary has transitioned from male to female, Rhys from female to male. So this all sort of takes my mind some time to assimilate and digest the fact Zackary and Rhys have both completed the transitioning of their birth sex assignment to that of the opposite sex and it is to that sex that they are naturally attracted to sexually. Since their sexual transition has been completed, does that make them a heterosexual couple since Zackary is now 'officially' sexually female and Rhys is 'officially' sexually male?

The 'continued sexual attraction to women' is and has always been disingenuous. That has been nothing more than affectation on her part for all these years. Her overwhelming need was not to be seen by the public as anything other than a very 'male-male'. She was never conflicted as to her sexual preference, just as she has no conflict now after her transition into female. The only difference is that the 'torn about conflict' is the struggle she's experiencing over whether to be honest about her sexual attraction to males, or to continue with the charade she's maintained all her life passing as a heterosexual male. She's always known who she is as far as both gender and sexual preference are concerned. The only thing that's different now is whether she's ready to disclose that fact or not and thereby risk the exposure all those years of pretense. She is very reluctant, to show the world that Bruce Jenner wasn't really the man who for most of his life had so aggressively had been driven to prove his masculinity.

And be twice as exciting to watch

I never laughed so hard as when I read this and you're so right, that's the hysterical part. This is another show about nothing. I would shove it in the same category as Kocktails With Khloe, They're both shows about nothing at all. What's next on the TLC agenda, a live webcam of mold growing in the shower of Miley Cyrus? I really don't get it. 'Counting On' is an accumulation of 'tee hees', 'oooh' and 'hahaha'. And wait, was that the infamous Duggar home where they were at one scene? Is that the same house that Michelle and Jim Bob still occupy? That's TC telling the viewers that those Duggars are still lurking around waiting to be re-introduced to America's viewers. NO! TLC, we didn't forget about all that crap NO! TLC, we don't want the Duggars back. NO! TLC the sad and sorrowful music you played while Anna teared up does not soften up my feelings at all for any Duggars. As 'flyingdi' has already wondered, where is real life here? Why not just name this show "The Cute Jessa Tee Hee' show? Most memorable quotes from the episode: Jessa: "we could easily spend $100 because we're feeding like over 20 people and so yeah, that wouldn't be out of our price range for tonight". Jessa: "my philosophy about butter is, the more the better. I don't get why people try to avoid butter, it's not bad for you or anything, it's good for you." I'm sure there were more quotes worth mentioning but I'll leave that job to anyone else who finished watching this calamitous show, I sure didn't.

Caitlyn still retains the mentality many rigid right-wing fundamentalist conservatives in that she supports a party that discriminates against the LGBT community. In her old life, she was in alignment with those conservatives that sought to limit the rights of people whose religious beliefs differed from their own. They live strictly by the rules set by a religious right. The incident that illustrated that in this episode was when the management of the restaurant in Tulsa, Oklahoma denied the filming with cameras only after management discovered it was for the show 'I Am Cait'. Prior to having that information, the manager was willing to accept the camera crew in the restaurant. This is an important moment in this episode and it's a prime example of conservative thinking, particularly in that part of the country, the 'bible belt'. I wonder if Caitlyn Jenner was there with the others if that restaurant manager would still deny them access to film in his restaurant or if Caitlyn's 'fame' would encourage him to accept the group? I think that for younger generations than the one that Caitlyn Jenner grew up with, it's very difficult to imagine that a man or a woman would make the choice to be miserable all their lives in order to hide what they really are. Sure, Caitlyn has come out and admitted to having the mind of a woman since she was a youngster, BUT (and this is a big but), Caitlyn Jenner has no wish to divulge the fact that she has always been attracted more to a male than a female sexually. The problem with her admitting that she has been a gay male all her life is that she has gone through great pains to conceal that fact including marrying 3 woman and being the father to 10 children, six of them being biological children. Let me say it this way. A person's mind, the 'ID' the self doesn't change from birth. It's not a choice to be attracted sexually to either a male or a female and that's something that doesn't suddenly become moderated or changed. As the saying goes. 'It is what it is'. If you really think about it, by Caitlyn admitting now that she has a sexual attraction to men would essentially let the cat out of the bag with all her children. It would take a minute for any of them to realize that fathering them and being married to several women was the way that Caitlyn covered up her own sexuality and presented to the world someone that wasn't the real her. I will use Caitlyn's own words in this episode to illustrate this exact point. In this one statement, Caitlyn Jenner summed up her entire life. Her biggest fear, her entire 66 years has been a lie. Admitting to being sexually attracted to men would certainly prove it in the eyes of her children. She had felt that the women, (all the women) in her life would shun her and not accept her. Since the the acceptance and respect of others in her life have been of paramount importance, having them regard her negatively and see her as a 'freak' would be devastating to her very core. "You don't grow up your whole life as being me and think that your biggest fear is that you would be thought of as an absolute freak and weirdo, and to be so welcome by not only by the trans community but uh, Glamour magazine....women in general." You believe; "Fundamentally, she seems very torn between her continued sexual attraction to women, a fact that did not change after she transitioned, her desire to be a traditional woman who dates men, and her overall desire not to rock the boat." I don't think that Caitlyn Jenner is torn in the least about who she is attracted to sexually, I only believe that she's torn about coming out and admitting it publicly.

I don't know why I keep watching 'I Am Cait' but I assume it's for the same reason that I watch 'KUWTK'. I don't like Cait and I don't like any of the Kardashian's. I think they're all shameful, vulgar, arrogant, ostentatious, shallow, selfish, egocentric, twats. (did I just exceed the max.adjectives?) I don't like any of them and I don't condone any of their indecent, distasteful behavior. Maybe I watch in the hope that they will either fail miserably and just go away from television forever, or that they'll suddenly have a 'come to Jesus' moment and see the fault of their narcissist ways and turn over a new, more spiritual leaf. Maybe I'm waiting for at least one of them to shun the cloaks of their decadent life and prove that at least one of them is a not a miserable, worthless human being. Maybe I'm waiting for the sky to turn a beautiful shade of purple and for rain to shower us with pink lemonade. Alright, I think you get the message. When she was Bruce, Caitlyn Jenner had spent more than 65 years of her life proving to the world that she was a superior man capable of just about any physical feat. In High School it was basketball, track, pole-vaulting, high-jumping. Each of those were sports in which it was possible that ONE PERSON be singled out to be the best. Later in life Olympic hero, water-skiing, golf, motorcycles and helicopters. Anything that was a physical single-person sport or contest, she HAD to be the best at. What Caitlyn as Bruce Jenner was busy proving to the world and herself back then was "look at me how masculine I am". 65 years later and Caitlyn has realized her lifelong dream to becoming a female. But inside her brain still lives the male egocentric side. Does she really believe that dancing with a man or dating a man would be any less traumatic to Kylie and Kendall than say finding her trying on Kris's clothes when they were very young? Would they be more hurt, shocked or whatever to find out their dad wanted a 'relationship' with a man? Kylie and Kendall aren't innocent babies and if both are mature enough to handle the fact that their father has transitioned to a woman then they're ready for the next step. I think the biggest fear for Caitlyn is that anyone, not only her children, but anyone would for even 2 seconds think that Bruce Jenner may have been gay all his life and just hid that fact behind the persona of a virile, rugged, super-masculine male. Caitlyn may be a female but she has no balls, and I meant that metaphorically. She is terrified that anyone would even remotely believe that she was a gay male all her life and protected herself and her reputation all her life. She's an 'old school Republican' and that's exactly what they did in 'his generation', they pretended and covered up for their homosexuality all the way to the end of their lives. Caitlyn just cannot get past that bump in the road.

Eileen can still get me to laugh with the very self-aware, “I’m gonna spend thousands of dollars on new luggage so Kathryn likes me! That's how shallow I am." She can be so brutally honest, I love that about her.
