Oh my goodness, what the FUCK was that blush?!

Right on to you and the Mr.! I am Kyle's age and I still wish I'd gotten a degree after a lot of years attending--and doing really well in--college. I do wish I'd finished (financial issues kept that from happening). BUT...I wish I'd finished then; that makes a difference, IMO, in whether it is a true regret that should be rectified now. I do not regret it enough to turn my current life upside-down (though not being in Kyle's income bracket plays a huge role in that decision, as does the fact that I have the job I want).

People can want more than one thing, yet still choose one over the other. Maybe I regret not buying one pair of boots a week ago and I say so, but it doesn't mean I am now running around completely unfulfilled and dissatisfied with my life because of the pair of (not gladiator) boots I did end up buying.

Just reading it makes me laugh.

"Is it a bee?" is probably my favorite AbFab moment.

I feel like I can kind of get why Kyle never seems to put her foot completely down as far as "enabling" Kim (in quotes because I am not even certain I think that's what she does). I have a sister who does not have a substance-abuse problem, but she does have some kind of depression issues and serious need for attention, to the point where she males awful decisions and acts in a disloyal fashion to the people who are always there for her. She also has chronic money issues and is not well-known for repaying what she borrows (yet will find ways to lend her own to recent friends and romantic pursuits (I am being so vague; I sound like I'm describing someone who is, quite simply, a jerk). She's recently done some shady shit to me and I do get very, very pissed. I vent to my BF and friends. I vow to just say "who cares?" to her woes. And then...I feel terrible and stifle it and/or actually help with money or support or whatever, even though it isn't good for me and I admittedly resent it. Oy, TMI...sorry. ETA: I think I made a Freudian slip in typing "males" when I meant "makes," as it seems that many of my sister's issues stem from her tendency to put male attention above all else.

ME TOO! Especially after the episode of a week or two ago with the kitten. I can't even...still!

I may have missed it, but was Kyle the planner of this event? I didn't watch WWHL. Either way, I am not of the mind that it was Kyle's responsibility (or that she did something sinister, even if it was). And maybe I missed something else too, but didn't the wine tasting/lunch wind up completely uneventful in terms of Kim's sobriety, unlike the poker party (or, more correctly, what Kim did to herself before the poker party--in her own home, at which Kyle has no control)? Comparatively, why would this wine event be such a terrible thing for Kyle to have planned plan (if she even did) considering all the boozy parties these people go to regularly?

During this week's Obsession, before I realized that a cop had arrived on the scene, I was like, "Who drives a car through someone's living room...and then politely knocks at the bedroom door?"

GUILTY (and I am not even what I'd call a hardcore smoker)! Something about the boredom of being home from work* recuperating that all of a sudden creeps up and makes one think it's a perfectly fine idea to have a smoke with a cup of coffee. Please note that I said "home from work recuperating" and not "attending a poker party"! * It's days like that the make me wonder what's the matter with me, not because I smoked with a chest cold, but because why am I not at least feeling relaxed during my day away from the office, sick or not? What the hell, man?

I think the saleslady (why am I remembering a saleslady? Was there a saleslady? Am I drunk or hopped up on Monty's pills?) was wearing them too, and I was not a fan.

Huh? I'm confused by the sentiment and the execution of this comment. I was just having a discussion--and not an impolite one--on a discussion forum. I shamed no one, have never expected anyone to "cater to" me (?), and I agree that Kyle's outfit was pretty unflattering. I have no strong opinions of you as a person one way or the other, and, wouldn't consider an option to "send [you] away"; you're part of this discussion as much as anyone else here and you said nothing "offensive" that I've seen today (though maybe a bit defensive?). I was responding with what I "feel"; we disagreed...really, so what? That's what happens in discussions sometimes. Also, I mentioned that the original post was hardly worded as a mere implication; I read it and responded to what the words actually conveyed. And at last we agree (maybe? I am not even sure what I just read at this point): I am indeed not Lisa Vanderpump.

But I do think she looks good--always have. And I thought she looked awesome a season or two ago when she was playing basketball with Mauricio (or at least standing nearby while he played basketball) in long, flared jeans and, I think, platform sandals.

Oh my goodness, it looks like he's wearing bigger shoes on top of his real shoes!

Well, you said: "Holy Shit Kyle get a stylist already. Walking beside Kim who many ways is just a slighter version of yourself as seen when you hug, in those sandals and that dress?" Perhaps I misinterpreted, but I am not sure how when the comment specifically compares Kyle's appearance directly to Kim's. And, in fashion, there is no one single "part" to look. However misguided viewers may find Kyle's impression of what "the part" is, that's her interpretation. Being "into fashion" doesn't limit Kyle (or anyone) to one specific type of fashion, and "ridiculous looking" is in the eye of the beholder. Also,being "into fashion" isn't necessarily synonymous with being aware of what flatters a body type. Like I said before, I might be ridiculous-looking to some, but not to others or myself. Same for Kyle, who maybe thought, "Gladiator boots are in fashion; I am up on what's trendy, therefore I will wear (unflattering and ugly) gladiator boots so as to be trendy." Oh, I don't think I'd forget either. But, you know, someone else might if it became routine or if they're airheads. Or drunk.

I picture a scene from Mad Men, where Harry was way in the background at his desk, and looked up at some dramatic goings-on in the hall--and he made a hilarious WTF? face. That's what I picture his response as if Lisa told him about the night's events. I wish I could find a picture of it.

I wouldn't be surprised if, after all this time with cameras being part of their day-to-day lives, many of the women sometimes forget about them, especially during alcohol-fueled parties (or pill-enhanced appearances).

Haha--I cannot fathom what people "want" with those horrid boots! But, on the other hand, wear what you want; life is too short--we have to get dressed every day (more or less) so make it fun. I am sure people look at me like I'm a crazed loon for my '70s vintage dresses that either graze the floor (and sometimes trip me up) or barely cover my bum. Kyle's on film, which I've heard adds girth or something, and she's among a few tall chicks. So, she's gonna look short and maybe even a bit squat no matter what she wears, even though she's got a good body from what I can see.

Maybe it was less about the camera than it was about keeping her sister where she, Kyle, was (that is, away from Brandi and away from an empty house). I mean, in the same situation, I'd probably just try to take my sister home with me, but I'm not under contract to attend parties I probably have no interest in, so... Either way, I think Kyle would also be raked across the coals if she hadn't acknowledged Kim's fucked-upness.

She also said she didn't smoke...right after she had herself a cigar, haha! Man, she was flipping back and forth at a rapid rate! She says goodbye to Kyle perfectly normally (well, "normally") and then, pow! While I agree that Kyle is probably not equipped to handle Kim's issues, I don't see her doing anything wrong or self-serving in her interactions with Kim (and I commend her for not completely flipping out or even slapping her, to be honest)--and I include the whole limo scene in this opinion; sometimes people are pushed too far and shit just pops out of their mouths (especially if they've been drinking). Kyle's imperfect (as everyone is) but I can't get on board the "Kyle is using Kim's illness for her own gain" train at all. I can't get over Brandi getting physical at the drop of a pin either. While I never know the timeframe of the HWs' interactions, it just seems like one day they're great friends and the next someone's getting physically pushed? I've had arguments with my friends before and no one, no matter how pissed they get at the moment, is, like, fighting the other. Also, I hate, hate, hate those gladiator "boots." But as for someone's comment that Kyle should style herself differently so as to look better standing next to Kim or whomever. I find that silly; if Kyle (or anyone) likes what's she's wearing--even dumb stupid strappy gladiator flat-soled boots--she should. She's short; who cares? So are a lot of people, myself included. My sister is five inches taller than I am; I'm not going to alter my wardrobe so I look better next to her.

Oh, no worries -- and I didn't want to go all "#notall" about it (perhaps my job has put me in a argumentative mood this morning--and by "perhaps," I mean there's no "perhaps" about it. And also, F.U., job; pay my bills but otherwise shut up and leave me alone. There, I said it). Carry on!

I hope you're kidding with this!

Yeah, let's see how much dough they save when the whole family in in the hospital for...whatever it is that someone might get from human waste wafting out of a toilet-adjacent basket.

Loud, wet chewing, gum-cracking that rings out through the entire office, and nonstop coughing (please take something or go home!).

I might maybe be able to suggest something, as a crazed maniac with a laundry list of mascara musts. But first, do you prefer thick/viscous coverage, or a thin consistency, and do you like subtle or obvious mascara (nothing wrong with either, though I generally tend to want it to look like I have nothing on them...which sounds like it doesn't make sense, but it does--my eyelashes are long but the ends are light-colored).
