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).

I don't like asymmetrical hems, whether they're side-to-side or front-to-back, I mean, if someone else wears them, I don't care (I'm pretty open-minded about everyone wearing what they like; I'm sure some people think I look like an ass regularly) but I won't wear them. I'm also not a big fan of cutouts in dresses. Also, I do not like embellished back pockets on jeans (especially on men). But, to be fair, I prefer basic Levi's so this pocket whickety-wack is easy enough to avoid. In a more shallow vein, I sometimes feel sort of pissy that skull and leopard motifs have become so, so mainstream! Yes, I am totally being "that guy" about it, I know...and it's just a tiny "pang" of annoyance. Back in my day, those things belonged to gin-soaked cigarette-smoking grandmas and punks, haha! That said, though, it is much easier now to replace my elbow-hole-riddled leopard cardigans than it used to be, so that's nice!

Haha--yeah, I just don't know... I am the last person to preach about being sensibly frugal regarding everyday expenses (I try, but if I need it, I buy it and go on with my life!), but these people, ironically, tend to seem "penny wise and pound foolish."

Agree; I didn't see anything strenuous there either. But I do feel like he's denied other things strenuously before. Reading The Andy Cohen Diaries now; he mentions VPR a few times (not often enough, in my opinion! I was hoping to get some dirt on Kristen) and does say that Jax and Stassi do seem to hate each other even outside of the show.

On Extreme Cheapskates (which, for some reason, I am obsessed with), there are people who use rags as toilet paper. They toss them in a basket next to the toilet and wash them later. Because, you know, savings...

OH MY GOODNESS, an eye infection! Blech and yikes! So far, so good, for me with the PF stuff (I like their mascara too but it goes on very wet at first, but I like very subtle lashes--just enough to color in the blond ends, so those thinner ones work well for me. And I love the BB powder, though it goes on heavy if you're not careful!). And don't feel bad about crazy Revlon; it was a surprise to me too, not too long ago and I admit that the China stuff is tough to decipher. It can be a real clusterfuck trying to figure it out, man--all we can do is try. Just to not go too far astray topic-wise, if you want to PM me, I have a few sources bookmarked that seem to really help in the sometimes-exhausting research part of it.

She seems smarter than the others, and maybe not really cut out for the so-called glamorous life.

"I know you got this," to me, seems only an appropriate remark if the kid were expressing doubts in her abilities. And I disagree that "you can always come home" implies anything of the kind. Also, it wasn't so long ago that many people were pissy that Kyle "forced" the one daughter to do that fashion show thing, which is kind of the opposite of "you can always come home."

Revlon has been sold in China for years, which means animal testing is mandatory (though I believe I read that they may be pulling out of the Chinese market). Almay tests "when required" (I have no idea what that means though). But there are quite a few inexpensive drugstore-sold brands that don't test on animals or contain any animal products, E.L.F. (though they may use animal hair in their makeup brushes*), Physician's Formula, and Wet & Wild (I think), to name a few. As for Carrie Underwood, the part in her hair in these commercials is so far to the side that it looks ridiculous and uncomfortable. * ETA: E.L.F.'s "essentials" line brushes are cut horse hair; the "studio" line is synthetic hair. As for inexpensive, I believe E.L.F. mascaras (which are pretty good!) run about $4.00.

Yup. I always wonder if showing success stories would serve these charities better; people may feel more confident donating to a cause that isn't constantly portrayed as futile. This is news to me too--and good news, at that! I find myself watching the now-outdated Forensic Files because so many of ID's shows are so bad at showing me real-deal crime-solving! I am wondering if A Crime to Remember is going to cover the Gertrude Baniszewski story. Ugh, that one just disgusts me beyond that of so many others.

Haha! My BF would love it, as he's actually angrier than I am about an at best ill-advised little tryst between my ex and my own sister (and my family's truly obnoxious reaction to it--i.e., I am the bad guy for being completely disgusted upon learning of this). There's some TV for you.

I think she has--maybe way back in S1 or 2? I'm just not taking that remark as anything but what it is--"don't feel like you have to stay there if you don't like it." If my parents (people who saw my college apartment once, and the dorms never) had said it, I'd have said, "Yes, thanks, I know that." I took Kyle's comment as she didn't want her daughter to feel like she had to stay because of the time and expense her parents gave to send her there.

I have a life too--a fairly busy one that includes the current (and final, because he's the best) BF--and I would totally watch a show about my ex, depending on which one. Though, no...I'd actually watch a show starring any of my exes, but I wouldn't even snark on the majority because I'm still friends with them. The one I'd snark on would not be much good for TV anyway, as I believe he actually does nothing.

Now I feel cheated--other than $125 per month for half a year (because sharing an apartment with three other people was cheaper than the dorms), my parents didn't give me any money when I was at school. Those dirty non-Kyles!

As soon as he gave her a cat, I knew I should have bailed out. Seriously, I cried...I mean, not like a huge blubbery mess, but there were tears and sniffles. If that girl--young or not--wasn't out of there when he hit her, she should have called 911 the second that fucker went into the bathroom with that cat. The "I hate you, Amy" was a season ago (I think?) and was about a woman (Amy) who bought an apartment next door to another woman who was a crazed loon in the most out-there ways (and appeared to wear an old-school gray sweatsuit); it almost made no sense, and the reenactments were bordering on mustache-twirling cartoon villain complete with Eastern European accent that may or may not have been exaggerated*. I am sure it was terrible for Amy and all, but I laughed and laughed at the whole display (and present-day Amy seemed OK). And, to this day, my BF and I use a faux accent to say, "I hate you, Amy!" when we're frustrated with the DVR, one of the cats, the internet connection, a food we don't like... * I do not mean to imply that Eastern Europeans are criminal stalkers; it's just what the reenactment sounded like! ETA: A-ha!

Well...there's always the chance that they did and it was even more boring than the rest of it? Or maybe they just wanted us to see this college-apartment lavishness and, in my case, become completely baffled. I didn't get "gunning for" out of that article. A "who cares?" vibe (though, to be fair, that was from me), yes; nastiness, no.

Probably because we saw less than 30 minutes' worth of a conversation between two people who were talking about other stuff? All I saw was mention of her stomach and some WTF? writing about some bland, innocuous pool party for her boyfriend. What a tramp!

I heard her on a radio commercial during Howard Stern for some abdomen belt that does the work for you, even if you're just sitting around! It was hot out, I assume, and she's a grown (for the most part) woman who may not subscribe to the "she was asking for it" philosophy.
