RealHousewife

Noella's constant raunch is too much. Heather gets a lot of grief for being pretentious, but I will take pretentious over trashy any day. I much prefer to watch a classy lady like Heather to the likes of Noella, Kelly, Tamra, Vicki, Braunwyn, etc. You could actually take her places!

I wouldn't say hideous, but definitely not cozy. I'm not a fan of museum-like houses. I like homes like Kyle Richards'. Yolanda and David Foster's house was gorgeous as well. Part of the appeal of the franchise has always been lifestyle porn. Maybe it's hard to get the right balance or please everyone. I'm a fan until it goes from "ooh must be nice" or maybe you just have to be really rich to find that kind of spending appropriate to spending money like it comes from tap. The Dubrows take their spending too far for my tastes. I know Terry is a really successful surgeon, but still. I enjoy seeing mansions, luxury cars, designer clothes, travel porn, etc. When I hear about things like Erika Jayne's $40,000 a month on glam alone or $30,000 for just a random party, I don't find it aspirational. I find it excessive. Speaking of spending and charity work, Joanna Krupa is one Housewife who was awesome in this regard. She enjoyed the fruits of her labor. I remember she had at least one gorgeous home and beautiful things, but also said in interviews she didn't have a favorite designer, that super high priced skin care was a waste of money, that she'd rather give back than spend on her money on things like shoes, etc. She was and I believe is very philanthropic with animal charities. She made her own at one point, not positive if she is still working that particular one. I like Shane too. What's refreshing about him is he seems like a normal dude, and I get his humor. I also love a confident little man!

Has anyone had luck dating lately? I'd love for someone to give me hope. :)

Usually is the keyword! DSW is probably the only legit mailer where reducing the number of emails in their preferences didn't work for me. I'm not sure if they're any better these days. We'll see. Correct, good advice. I try to be carful what I click on, but I appreciate the reminder. Some spammers are pretty skilled.

Curvier women who have a degree of body fat tend to look better without clothes, especially if they're trying to dress trendy. Think of those Old Hollywood actresses. They had great figures, but because they had bigger hips, fuller thighs and softer tummies, things like skinny jeans and bodycon dresses wouldn't do much for their figures. I'm a more petite person than Emily, and the way I dress when I'm a size 2 is very different from when I am a 4-6. When I'm naked, I don't look bad with the few extra pounds, but if I wear stuff that's skintight, it's not cute, and I have never been even close to plus size. I think Emily should look to Old Hollywood and Mad Men for fashion inspiration. She was blessed with beauty and has a great shape. She can show off her beautiful curves in a way that's flattering and comfortable. I'd love to see her in more outfits like this.

I have before and will do so again! I was hoping they got their emails under control so I wouldn't have to check my junk folder to get my coupons.

Maybe she was trying to make him famous? lol

DSW thinks I must buy shoes every day, multiple times. It's my favorite shoe store, but who the heck needs that many emails from them?!

Does anyone know why Shannon uses last names so frequently? Several seasons ago, she said if she knew multiple people with the same first name, she would include a last name, like Heather Dubrow. I also wondered if maybe it was something she did just because she was new and these women weren't her real friends. But I heard her say "John Jansen" about her serious partner in one of the last episodes I watched (season 16 I think). The only other person I've seen do that is Lisa Rinna about Harry Hamlin, but I figured Rinna did that because Harry is famous.

People being pushy with stuff they sell. I know a woman who insists she's not a pushy person but will ask what makeup I use and then suggest what she sells. She'll ask what my mother likes and then bring up what she sells. It's pretty routine. This exact attitude is part of why I avoid purchasing stuff like Mary Kay, Avon, Amway, etc. I'm sure some good people go that route for a side hustle, and I see nothing wrong with making money through sales. But there are so many pushy people who only care about money in their own wallets, it makes me want to avoid all those companies at all costs, not to mention the fact some people go that route and lose thousands of dollars because they're not aggressive. My heart goes out to them.

I’m so sorry. I’m on my phone and accidentally clicked report instead of quote! Never had that happen before. If a mod sees this, I did not mean to report the post above or anything else. When I say cast as a couple, I don’t mean Jo and Slade were individually cast to pretend to be together, but Slade was cast to be on the show with Jo.

The word boob. It's a funny sounding word. I use it because everyone else does, but boobs sounds like two years more mature than boobies to me.

Jennifer's face reminds me a bit of Brandi Glanville's.

Thanks so much for clearing that up! I was confused because Max Todd always seemed like a sweet young man.

My guess is fentanyl. A friend of mine had an overdose not too long ago. It’s heartbreaking and affecting so many people.

Are you guys talking about Lisa’s son?

Lauri has the looks for it, but I don’t remember hearing about a modeling career either.

That is right, so sad.

Is Lauri the first Housewife to lose a child?

Behind the Velvet Rope. Yes, they were a couple already.

Omg, how heartbreaking.

Seriously, perhaps they all have a problem. I found him amusing last season . . . I am a sarcastic person myself, so maybe that's why. A lot of people found it insensitive when Emily talked about always wanting another daughter and he said he always wanted to be six feet tall. Perhaps it was insensitive, but it did make me bust out laughing. I too was curious to see how Shannon would handle the rona! lol

lol same! I hope she addresses it in a future episode. 100% that was one of my favorite Braunwyn scenes.

Yes, that would have been perfect. Agree, I see both sides of the debate. It could have been harmless texting, but I can see talking to a friend about it. Like, hey Sean texted me this. Does it sound a little too familiar/friendly to you? I don't like to jump to negative conclusions about people based on a few sentence and a wink, but so many of us women have experienced men who start out just a little too friendly where we dismiss it, and suddenly they're hitting on you. However, I personally would never do this on camera because I wouldn't want to spread rumors over nothing. I'd hate for awkward texts of mine to be made public if I meant zero harm. I would never speak to my friend's father like that, but as much as I didn't love the language, I agree that I thought she was just trying to be playful and he enjoyed the attention he got from this much younger pretty woman. My favorite thing about Kelly is how she is with Jolie. I also noticed she makes a point to be warm to these women's parents. She was very friendly when she met Parry.

I wish Jeana lasted on the show longer. I find her more interesting than Vicki and Tamra. I believe Shannon about not saying Gina's house was sad. She has never been cruel about anyone.
