Ooh. Fundie Wife Swap. The possibilities... Swap Michelle for one of the Housewives.

Don't you kids make me get out the desktop!I looked as closely as I could for just that reason and I think they are individually stringed balloons. I could easily be wrong. Ack. That venue, gosh, it looks almost like a convention center or theater complex type place. Say it isn't so!

What banner? I kid. Too small for me and not willing to fire up the desktop. If I did that I might be compelled to really watch The Prancerciser again. I was close to hypnotized. Please tell me that was some kind of performance art. Or ironic. At one point I thought I was watching SNL. And I still haven't seen the John Mayer one. Oh my. Back to the not-so-much party, I hate balloons. Scourge of the environment. Hope they didn't release them.

Very Special Episode? All I got.

I don't know that a peplum is anybody's friend! But the judges seem to like them. And one might have helped to cover up what I considered to be the really unfortunate silhouette of Candice's dropped studded and whatever-elsed skirt. It looked tortured, imho.

I think I'd wear a dead muppet before I'd wear that middy! Thanks for the pic, Ms Blue Jay. Poor Judy Garland, such enormous talent so enormously abused by the studios, et al. Might be time to drag out my copy of Meet me in St. Louis.

Absolutely! Compare that to the excesses the Giudice kids expected. And got! I'm going to have to rewatch the Season 1 Mapperton episode. I remember a variety of adult relations but not the kids. And of course I remember some boorish LoL behaviors. As usual.

I caught that. I assumed he was her son and I actually grinned at his happiness at, More socks! It seemed spontaneous and genuine to me. It's making me smile right now.

Had my first eyeroll with Candice's pronouncement about her peplum being edgy. Oops, no, first eyeroll with her mention of how "humbling" her previous win was. Uck. And another when she sent that bow-blouse sailor-middy mess down the runway. As she untied the lapels (?) all I could think of were those horrible bow-blouses of the 70s-80s. Then when they were undone about all I saw was a little girl at the turn of the 20th century rolling a hoop down the street. I think I would have considered sending both L & M home. Did get a chuckle out of Zac and his, Man-o-pause. I kind of like him. MK seemed such an ill-tempered participant towards the end of his reign. Nina? GO HOME! NOW!

Didn't Zac call something "momsy" this Make it Sell episode? Well, that's how my cc wrote it, anyway.

Oh gosh. Absolutely no offense was intended by my rather passionate opposition to new business uses of "library". I think it can leave potential customers in a quandary and it leaves readers with a pretty big, Huh? I think CarolineS enjoys playing at being a business owner. She doesn't appear to do much work. And she doesn't seem to care about her soon to be out of work employees.

I click on this thread thinking I will see a Kim RIP. Someone needs to proclaim RIP over any LVP property. How can they be bothered with tatty restaurant decor when there are 2- story swings to be hung! Jiggy needs to be clothed! And just think of Lisa's make-up and hairspray costs. Gorgonzola crab risotto. Lobster guacamole. No words.

Well, it bothers me! And now the hipsters are, to me, even more annoying. This is how I think of libraries. My first word impression was livre.

And how did Stallone break up with her? FedEx? Royal Mail? Hugh is more of a "get" but, she didn't. Imho, The Gift Library is up there with the all-time most worstest ever business names. I cannot imagine hearing, or reading, the word library and not thinking, BOOKS!

Just finished, and very much enjoyed Lorna Landvik's Best to Laugh. It's loaded with her usual cast of quirky characters though these populate a semi-historical old Hollywood apartment complex. Of course the protagonist is from MN. It was a really fun breezy read and I have since learned it is semi-autobiographical. It did seem to have a healthy helping of verisimilitude and that's probably why. Very fast very funny read. I was a little surprised how attached I had become to the characters and shed more than a couple of tears, happy and sad, though the ending came off a little too, I dunno, pat? ETA it takes place in the 60s and 70s. That era frequently appeals to me.

Oh no. Patsy and Edina. We might pretty much require Sophie for that. Ack.

Normally I would say that the jokes just write themselves but this, really, isn't funny. Not even in an ironic kind of way. Can't believe people/followers are defending the mistake! ETA and yet here I sit laughing. Kudos! Or Kadooz, depending on viewing habits.

Bolding mine Wow. This all sounds so familiar. Except that I'm in Florida but have become complacent about storm planning over the years. Have had not much of anything since 2014 (Charlie and lots of others) and 2015, the year they ran out of letters for names and went Greek for the extras.We gained a fur person the year of Charlie (2014) and I think because this kitty knew something was up. We later learned he had been abandoned many months previously over a half mile from us. As far as we can guess, he kept making ever enlarging tours of the 'hood looking for a place. Pretty interesting turning that into a housecat. But we love him completely and entirely. Be safe, everyone!

Massive PR opportunity is absolutely correct. But I think Mapperton is more than 3 hours away from London so that might present production difficulties.

I think that Michael Kors used to use "mumsy". I miss Michael. I don't think that the designations of Mother of the bride and bridesmaid are necessarily agesit. I don't think of age but instead mentally scroll through numerous weddings and see some real crap.

Isn't Whoopi the self-proclaimed pot smoker? I guess she needs better stuff. Asshole. Dealing with difficult people is part of everyone's jobs! What does she have on the producers?

I have to think that Julie's, Woe is me..., poor poor us, song is maybe just a way to create a narrative that might keep her on LoL. Those old piles are expensive to maintain but I'm not buying that the wolf is at their door. I know that Celebrity Net Worth is not always reliable but it seems to hit the target once in a while. I have to wonder if Julie is just plain not cut out for reality tv. She seems so fragile. And she also seems, to me, to be trying too hard. And I'm surprised that Luke et al are interested in participating. But, in the end, it has to help the business. Mapperton is gorgeous! Both Caroline S and her awful sil are becoming caricatures. Ugly ones.

Almost all of their hair seems to look like crap. I know that lighting can be blamed for the yellow hues but, don't they use shampoo? Use combs and/or brushes? That first Caroline F appearance I called her hair "shitty extensions" and now it looks like that's maybe really her hair. Not to belabor a point BUT did yoga give Julie those upper arms?

And, unfortunately, didn't Rinna's kids come off as privileged little shits on that trip to supposedly help their grandparents? I don't mind the Erika, or whoever's really, sexy shots but kinda' don't like that (semi)nudity is the HW entree. i admittedly have not checked her cv. To me, those pix kinda' say it all. I'll give them a go but wonder about the longevity of my interest.

If I had to choose I would pick Carolne S's shoe closet over Caroline F's. Did Julie get that bod using yoga? I might have to rethink my more aggresive exercise stance. Props to Annabelle for her mediation attempts. Though I'm not sure what she accomplished walking out of the party rather than stating her case then and there. Maybe she's playing both ends against the middle. Marissa didn't completely annoy me this go-round. Maybe because others were more annoying. Caroline S kinda' bugs. As does her sister. And Juliet needs to either grow up or get over her "bad" self. Shit happens. Oh, and, Gift Library? Doomed from day one. imho
