  1. That collection makes no damn sense: a shorts outfit, a pants outfit, two dresses, like five swim suits, and five gowns. Is this collection for women vacationing in Monaco? The woman going from the beach to the casino? There was basically no ready to wear. It was also so poorly fitted. Yeesh!
  2. It was this episode that reminded me of why I watched this show. I watch because I hate everyone. I hate Juliet because she's an ill-mannered 10 year old. I hate Marissa because she's a smug smuggerton who is as much a social climber as Juliet, but just a little bit more subtle. Caroline is condescending and a gleeful shit stirrer. Annabelle is a superior never was who cannot help but trumpet her tenuous relationships to people of actual note with talent. I like Julie so far, but she has a terrible fashion sense and her hair color is tragic. I also love CarFlem. She seems a lot more grounded than the other women.
  3. What the shit Meghan?!?!? By doubling down on trying to uncover Brooks' lies, she looks like an obsessed weirdo. When she talked about calling Brooks' doctor I was like slow your roll Captain Ahab.
  4. Both of my parents are naturalized Americans, Thanksgiving is hugely important to them and my siblings. I tend to find that first and second generation Americans believe Thanksgiving is more important than Americans whose families have been in the US longer. I think it's because Thanksgiving feels a lot like an old fashioned traditional ethnic celebration - just food and family. I'd like to believe that Juliet only made a stink Beverly they were filming and that most years she'd just stay home. Juliet's insistance that Caroline have another Thanksgiving at her house is bullshit.
  5. At the same time, Marissa's offer to host wasn't really gracious. The party was really about what Marissa wanted and not what Juliet wanted. A couple of my friends once took me out for a birthday brunch at a restaurant that I hated and they loved and they knew that. That's not really generous nor should I be particularly thankful. I find Juliet to be really annoying but on this, I completely understand her. Plus it was so obvious that Marissa was not willing to make any accommodations. I think if they weren't filming, Juliet wouldn't have made such a big deal. Some people feel really feel very strongly about Thanksgiving. My father is very much a Thanksgiving at home person. He's only recently forgiven my cousin for getting married on Thanksgiving five years ago. As always Juliet's wardrobe is so tragic. I cannot for the life of me figure out how she's a stylist. This is probably the most name droppy of all of the Bravo shows. And Caroline (not CaFle) loves herself some Jonathan Adler and has outsourced her life to a ridiculous degree. I cannot believe she was sending her nanny to her daughter's school assembly. Hooray! No Caprice or Noelle and very little Annabelle.
  6. It's so true. Heather coined the Singer Stinger, but hardly any of the wives and I'd speculate the viewers remember that. It's funny and witty in a way that Heather rarely is. Truly funny people need to be really unselfconscious and I don't think that Heather can be.
  7. I think that Heather laughs and she does have a sense of humor, but she's Just. Not. Funny. When she cracks a joke, I'm never inclined to laugh. She cracks terrible mom/dad jokes like "bye bye Felicia." My mom would try that joke and I would roll my eyes so hard they'd pop out of my head, come up as snake eyes in Vegas, and I'd be a millionaire.
  8. When she was on the Martha Stewart Apprentice, she created this cilantro lime dressing for a Wishbone Salad Dressing challenge. It won and was so damn delicious. It was a limited time product. When I realized they weren't going make it permanent, I maybe bought a case of it and stored it in my basement. I was super upset when I used up my last bottle. And by upset, I mean I acted like a fiend because I used it on salads and as a marinade.
  9. Ugh, she is such a sour humorless bint. It sort of works on Worst Cooks because the humor comes the sheer awfulness of the cooks and Anne as a straight man. Everywhere else she's an unpleasant condescending television presence.
  10. The original White Party was a circuit party for gay men that's been in existence since the 70s. The Diner en Blanc is a pop up banquet where everyone dresses up all in white and enjoy a sumptuous picnic in public. It's been in existence since the early 80s. I actually think Diddy (Sean Combs) was drawing from both events when he first started throwing his white parties in the late 90s. The White Party was a big deal in both NYC and Miami when Diddy's career was taking off. Diddy's party has callbacks to both: it has the fancy conspicuous exclusivity of the Diner en Blanc and the hedonism of The White Party. Everyone knew who did and did not get invited to Diddy's. It was covered by not only Hamptons and NY media, but national and international press. They knew who wore what and what happened at the party: diamond cufflinks, guests arriving via helicopter, Cristal fountains, and world renowned chefs making American comfort food. It's interesting because you can track the trajectory of the white party and it has moved to the mainstream the same way trends always move: from a minority group to a slightly bigger group to the mainstream. Jezebel had a piece about this maybe a week ago. http://jezebel.com/from-hip-hop-to-housewives-the-real-story-behind-the-h-1727279374
  11. Those prices are completely the norm in Austin, but there is a huge diverse well-known food truck scene in Austin. Some of the best restaurants in town either are or started as food trucks. It's also why last season (?) when they stopped in Austin, many of the trucks had a really difficult time because the market is super saturated.
  12. Dorinda apparently had been courted to be part of the show for quite a while. I can't remember in which reunion episode that they discussed that John was very desirous of the fame and publicity that went along with appearing on the show. I think Dorinda largely agreed to do the show for John. And lot of Dorinda's talk about sweet wonderful brilliant cultured Richard reaching out to Dorinda from beyond the grave is Dorinda's passive aggressive push back against John for wanting to be on this show because Richard wouldn't have wanted to be on this show and he wouldn't have asked me to be on it either .
  13. This season's experiment was supposed to be an exercise in inclusion, but I don't understand how we got such zeros. It just seems like if you threw out the height requirement, you should get a bunch of stunners. Hadassah , Dustin, and Bello are not models. Hadassah's face in pictures is like a beauty black hole. The laws of beauty and physics start to break down as you get closer and a woman that I can acknowledge is actually attractive in moving pictures looks so meh in still images. Bello needs to book a couple of glasses adds and bounce. In no way is he a model. Neither is my beloved Nyle, but I want him to stick around because he's normal and until I can figure out a way to pay him residuals for staring my dreams. Unfortunately, the odious Dikey are models. I wish Devin Zoolander would stop putting his hands in his damn mouth. At the very least, he could get bounced for pulling out the bird of paradise when they are shooting something extra butch. I think Mikey looks like a busted Ryan Gosling, but he's a model.
  14. It looked like the dress code was black tie and black dress, so that the focus would be on Kristen in her white wedding gown. But Kristen's shady maid of honor decided to upstage Kristen in red. That's really shitty behavior from an alleged friend. Maybe she should join the cast. I wish they would use the name that MTV uses for their extra footage show: The Shit They Should Have Shown. Though I feel like there have been some secrets revealed on NJ and BH on their extra footage shows.
  15. If I washed and blow dried my hair everyday, I'd be bald. Some hair is far too fragile to receive that type of daily treatment. I don't think Kristen is a hypocrite for getting a blow out. Her point was why would Ramona get a blow out when she knew that the activities where going to be in, on, or near water. Most people who are that concerned about preserving their blow out wouldn't have gotten in the pool at the spa or in the row boat. I have been that woman who has stayed out of the water because I didn't have the products I needed for my hair. And I can assure you that my actual afro is a lot harder to deal with than Ramona's hair.
  16. I abso-fucking-lutely believe that Candace would have joined the pile on had she not been called out. I think her comments about Laurie's outfit gave her away. Uh, I don't like culottes. Girl, really? Laurie made perfectly on trend clothes, but that outfit was not fashion. You could walk into the juniors section of nearly every department store and find that outfit. If Candace had said that, I would have believed her. Unfortunately, Candace was hell bent on protecting herself and her besties when it was her bossy leadership and her friends' shiteous fabric that got them in that situation.
  17. I'm not in love with Heather pipping up, but I honestly think Josh and Kristen are using Heather as their proxy. I think Kristen doesn't yet feel comfortable talking about it because she's leaning towards staying with him. I think Kristen knows she has the public's support, but that only goes so far. We've basically only seen Josh be a douchebag. If Kristen quickly comes out and says I'm staying with the douche, she would lose a lot of public support. And Josh needs to have someone vouch for him because we've only seen him be a disrespectful douche.
  18. Amanda was absolutely the correct person to go home only because anyone other than Amanda and Lindsay might have prompted Tim to use his save. We've got a lot more dead weight before Tim can bust that out. Amanda and the mean girls have no clue how odious they came across. When Amanda announced that she was auffed, her girls were upset and everyone else stood up to be polite. I really don't get Kelly's aesthetic. I always think that's she's younger than she is because who has such nostalgia for a decade you lived through. Half the fugly shit she wears and designs looks like it would be on Shop Jeen and that always makes me think that Kelly is 24. I think Swapnil's didn't win because it looked good from far away, but you really had to get in very close to notice all of the details. Whereas Edmond's was very good from far away and up close. It also looked like it had a certain lightness that Swapnil's lacked. I loved Swapnil's, but it looked a little overwrought until they pointed out the shirt turned into a pocket.
  19. That was Molly Sims. Calling her an actress is bit of a stretch. She's acted, but she's not much of an actress. I think of her more as a model turned TV show host. She's not even the same caliber as Rebecca Romijn.
  20. I actually liked this episode. Buddy's bullshit took a bit of back seat and instead focused on the church, including bingo, church business, recruiting new parishioners, and how Buddy is getting his sermons written.
  21. As speculated by everyone with working eyes and ears, Chris began turning on his cabal. Unfortunately for his lackeys, they were too stupid to notice it until they were underneath the tire treads. I didn't think Chris' tattoo was such a clear cut winner. It was super saturated and I liked how the grenade texture faded into the heart, but his had a bi-lobed grenade. I just thought it looked weird. Compositionally, I loved Craig's. And because every other "heart morph" tattoo looked weird except for the grenade, I think they reverse engineered this challenge to try to find things that wouldn't look too bizarre when morphed with a heart.
  22. It's doable, but probably dependant on the person, their diagnosis, and their circumstances. My aunt did it after being diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer. She worked full-time during her chemo as the head of trauma for a large hospital in a major American city. My former boss was full-time as the medical director for a state agency, but she was pretty crap at the time. She had stage 4 colon cancer. The chemo left her exhausted, but the massive amount of bowel and large intestine she lost in the surgery was probably the biggest driver as to why she was so bad at her job during her treatment. It left her with massive GI issues that were not conducive for work.
  23. As a person who lives in Austin, a complaint about property taxes isn't ridiculous. Though I think the bigger issue is that that area of downtown is overloaded with venues.
  24. Medical leeches are a real thing that are usually used when reattaching things where the circulation isn't great like fingers and ears. They sometimes use maggots for wound debridement too. I don't know about this stomach face vanity nonsense that Heather was up to.
  25. I watched that and realized that Michael is so much more mature than Vicki. I also liked how he chastised Vicki when she said she thought her mom would be sick. Michael just straight asked Vicki if she wanted her mom to suffer. Vicki is such a childish narcissist that she never considered her mother's comfort.
