  1. I appreciate articulation in people, but the twins ARE affected and histrionic (sorry another armchair dx) Funny Shawn could not bother to dress professionally for a presentation, but yeah that bright lipstick is always on. As for PR's very diverse PC casting, in another vane, (I've caught the twins' disease!) "So You Think You Can Dance" once decided that urban street dancers were on the same plane as trained ballet dancers and ballroom dancers in terms of OVERALL dance skill. Many fell apart unable to do any traditional choreography, Some COULD do some contemporary. But it seemed silly when they are looking for the best dancer. Ballet dancers for the most part can do any other kind of dance. IMHO. Similarly, (I've caught the twins' disease!) the show casts people they really WANT to overcome handicap, misfortune, bullying, racism etc. BUT THEY DON'T. Sentell, a dancer, decides to became a designer and they so WANT him to succeed over the ones that can cut a pattern, fit, drape and sew. I once hired an inexperienced "urban" graphic designer, thinking he could do it maybe. Wanting to give him a chance. Wrong. Sentell seemed so clueless on top of tasteless. Yup. He was quickly auffed. There have got to be so many really talented (yet--sorry--white and comfortable) people out there that will never get this chance. The show would be richer and maybe even meaningful with more true fashion designers casted as opposed to quotas for skin colors, religions, quirks, and gender fluidity. Indeed. Indeed. Heh.
  2. TAMRA: As a Christian you need to forgive EVERYONE. All this obsession is consuming what's left of your parched, crinkled, dark soul. Christian. Happy. Hey--what happened to your Christian power woman personal trainer? SHE'D tell you to give up the obsession and move on. Eddie certainly will move on (baby) if you don't stop it. Either BE on the show or get your family back together. LYDIA: As a Christian woman, why do you love and covet so MANY luxury goods? Why do you try to generate envy? I used to sort of like you, but now you are a pompous arrogant materialistic bitch in hippy fairy clothing. Your truth is starting to show. And for God's sake, a 36th birthday deserves this opulence? WTF? Also, we know even if you lose NOBALLMEN Magazine you will be just fine. No drama. And btw photos in mag look super douchy. VICKI: Maybe it's YOU who needs a double mastectomy, cuz I've had enough of your saggy grandma boobs on display desperate for love. Every time you show up, it's down a drink or two, glance nervously around maybe say hello to Kelly and dip out. (or should I say waddle or hobble?) Gotta do what it takes for Bravo bucks. Everyone else....zzzzz Lastly, has anyone noticed that no one orders in a restaurant by saying "I would like" or "I will have"? EVERY TIME it's "I'll DO the..." or "what are we DOING tonight?" I dunno. Just annoying. As an OC resident (familiar with all the bumper shots) I still watch like it's my f***king civic duty! (Shame)
  3. I agree. They cast on eccentricity and sob stories more than portfolio. There are about 8 or 9 designers that should be on the bottom. Maybe more. It's torture waiting for them to get eliminated so we can see true competition, design and skill. I am married to, and work with many Asian people and (sorry for the stereotype) they are nuanced in classical music but not American idiom, euphemism or sarcasm. My Japanese mother-in-law called all Americans "German" which equated with "fat" "stubborn" "coarse" "ungracious." OK enough of that. Batani looks great in her own African get-ups, although I don't know how she can WORK in all that fabric and hat etc. I was shocked at how bad and tasteless and poorly crafted her gray dress of shame was. In recent years, the world has interpreted "tall and thin fashion model" to mean "YOU, YES YOU NEED TO LOOK JUST LIKE THIS, and if you don't, well then develop an effective eating disorder or cleanse that will take off more weight than you should." That is just ridiculous. Thus the sized models. Round and round we go. (no pun intended!) Lastly, I am actually NOT OFFENDED that fashion models are tall and thin usually. We aren't supposed to be looking at bodies, but beautiful/edgy CLOTHES. High fashion is ART. That is what I want to see. I can see the design ethic better on a tall thin model. Yes, real people come in all shapes and sizes. The fashion will EVENTUALLY be applied to everyone. This season, the model size differences are adding problems and complexity for the designers that aren't all that skilled to begin with.
  4. He got on this show by being very weird and very disturbing. That is all. Amy called it about his schtick. Is this show about designing clothes or sticking and gluing your personal expression on a "fat" body? Cha Cha needs to find a sugar daddy or mama or maybe just a girlfriend. Can he ever hope to support himself? Like doing ANYTHING? Nina and Zac didn't even PRETEND he was any sort of contender. Or even Heidi who is very generous. 0% of a Tim save. I like ADULTS on this show no matter their age. (e.g. Wunderkind Christian Siriano was an adult in my mind even though he was very young and pranced about-- and he was actually funny)
  5. The producers would ignore it because there is nothing "fabulous" about the subject. And I'm sure Whitney has no interest in bringing it up outside a therapists office. (if she goes) The original idea of the show was NOT to show a tearful sorry wounded soul, but a fabulous strong active woman who "happens" to be big and fat. The other "outrageous" stories like maybe being a lesbian are kinda in fashion now. No body shaming/size acceptance also in fashion. Maybe even eating disorder recovery is in fashion now (?????) Not that these arcs are even outrageous. Whatever. I still think IF there was sex abuse it remains the elephant in the room. (Pun intended? NO! that would be body shaming!)
  6. The producers are really reaching for Vicki's purpose other than punching bag. "Huh, what ees a 'punching bag?'" --Peggy. OK the "adorable" fake barf noises, the everyone owes ME the OG an APOLOGY, the see how cute I am with the grandkids. She was so forced into the Sip-N-See. Speaking of Millennials, quit dressing like one and get a decent bra, woman! And God, the heels on Vicki and these women. Can they maybe come down HALF an inch. No one can f***ing walk!
  7. Yes, the older white skilled women never make it very far. But in PR's defense, they are usually working designers. Lawd help us with what is/will be acceptable critique for all the gender ambiguity creations!
  8. I have mentioned this before. Intervention-Hoarders-My 600 Lb Life especially, you go back and find there was always trauma of some kind, and with massive obesity, it usually turns out to be sexual abuse or rape. Why is she the ONLY one in the family to be so massively heavy? As a "doctor on TV," I believe she has had an eating disorder or two from puberty and those were compounded by something sexually very WRONG. That neediness of hers and the wall of "protective" fat present a sexual abuse story even if TLC does not. PCOS. Not buying it. Never did.
  9. So NOW Lydia's kids know that if they bring up sex, it will just be weird and awkward and maybe waste good beach time in Hawaii. They will be on the DL from now on. Lydia if you exclaim "Yaaaaaaaay!!!!!!!" one more time... just please... Also, what producer told you to NOT actually use the word, "vasectomy"? Why? Because "balls cut off" would get a much better reaction from the audience? Heh. Vicki, where was your great retired detective boyfriend for the Lambo party? Now, when YOU are now FORCED to socialize, you look like your son Michael--looking for an exit--just get me outta here NOW! You are a dried up has been Bravo whore. And that COTO logo looks like "COO" from a distance. I guess that's better than sounding like "Kotex." When you die, Briana and Michael will sell ALL of your self important "Legacy" ASAP! And hey klassy award winning bizniswoman Vicki, a bit more--remember the days of going to "the river" (Lake Havasu area) and "whooping it up" with all the other sunburned drunk tattooed people, getting hit in the head with a football, and dying to purchase a boat along with your property there? (Family was thumbs down) Good times. You are not a Newport Beach or Laguna Beach type no matter how many Lamborghini unveilings you go to or Maseratis you drive. And you are STILL no MILF! Meghan, congratulations on being Planet Earth's first mother. It appears you are wearing outfits from your home planet. Every outfit was WTF? Tamra, I like you better without lashes and stilettos. You don't look evil and calculating that way. All the dressing up this show requires must be exhausting. As are the constant violent confrontations. Kelly, leave your mom ALONE! She is an ADULT seemingly without dementia. When she WANTS company or activities, she'll do them. YOU stay home, take up meditation and do yoga. STFU. Are you bipolar? I dunno. Peggy. Nice car. It's south OC. There are lots of nice cars and rich people here just like you. Also women watch this show and the car thing is not much of a draw. You seem nice enough, but I think this is your first and last season.
  10. Glenn looks shell-shocked. I think he knows all of his encouragement--whether for the cameras or not-- has gone unheard and unheeded, and will continue thus in the future. Babs has her standard Southern Belle Bless-Your-Heart smile mask on. Both of the parents have had/still have serious health issues. They look like they know they will never see their pride and joy slim, married, become a mother, maintain a career, or even just be plain old American overweight. (as opposed to super-obese) Brother, like many young adult males has detached because everything is awkward. Tal. (???) He puts on that Southern Belle face too. Underneath I think he knows Whitney is doomed on her current course. Show should be retitled "Go Big and Go Home." Whitney's parents will be forced to care for her until they become incapacitated or dead. Thus the look on Glenn's face.
  11. Y'know, I forgot a lot about what a dick Simon was. Tamra married him for money and dad-like material while he got a sexy OC Trophy Wife. She got to live in (less exclusive/more middle class) Ladera Ranch. She got all her procedures taken care of. Despite all, it did not go well. The marriage caused MORE pain and dysfunction. Resolved nothing. She was freaking out about turning 40. (How's 40 looking NOW, Tamra?) They had this ridiculous yacht party with a Rolex watch gift. (I think) Ryan, already lost and depressed, couldn't or wouldn't hold down a job at Fletcher Jones where Simon got him a job. He did seem to have plenty of money to blow on tattoos. Simon sniped at Tamra and always had little passive aggressive things to say to her. He seemed VERY conscious of the cameras. His redeeming aspects: Not wanting the kids exploited. Having a job. Oh wait---he quit or got fired and went into the "lucrative" tequila biz around the end of his time on RHOC. Tamra STILL has a ton of mental and emotional baggage, but at least she got rid of Simon and got to keep her looks. I hold that she sold her soul to Bravo.
  12. This show is so disjointed but there I sit.... (guilt) I do live in OC, so I watch to see how the world sees us (??) Anyhow: VICKI: Why oh why do you dress like you are skinny and 21? That outfit with the teal blazer, black lace up top with the boobs on display, ripped up skinny jeans, and stilletto "cruel shoes" Ow! I kept thinking when she met Peggy's daughter, the DAUGHTER was wearing an age appropriate dress for YOU!!! And you are SO damn phony and SO damn jealous of the Peggy family. MORE VICKI: So you were forced to go to the revagination with Kelly. That day you wore a TRANSPARENT top! Knock it off with the "hip" clothes! Anyway, remember way back when, when you had that "personal assistant" and there was lengthy discussion of PUBIC HAIR and BRAZILIAN WAXING and you forced her to get a Brazilian and LAUGHED AND SNORTED outside the door while she cried in pain? You are so full of shit pulling that grossed out virginal act. BRIANNA: Thank you for not going to the birthday party, Eeyore. Thank you for being absent from the episode. PEGGY: Why are you on this show? Is your daughter Stanford Medical School bound? Does Diko need a Learjet? You do not understand the evil American style of female administration of justice. You need to protect your health and sanity. TAMRA: You sold your soul (born again or not) to Bravo and gave up a semi decent husband (sorry I don't hate on Simon as much as you), and your precious Sidney. You talk the talk about family but certainly do not walk the walk. Now you have Eddie, a failing gym and a failing, lost, dependent adult son. And a copy of Nobleman magazine on your coffee table. LYDIA: Party was cute, but there's always lots of booze at kid's parties it seems. Always the booze. KELLY: I can't stop looking at her mouth. It is a cross between a horse's mouth and a blow-up doll. There's something pornographic about her. I think hubby liked that about her, but then they had kids and it was over. He seems bored. She makes no damn sense ever. She is a damaged person from childhood I think. And wear some damn PANTS with your SHIRT! MEGAN: Booooorrrrrrrring..... Didn't need to see you breastfeed. Go drop some more pant sizes or something. SHANNON: Yes! I get it! Going through the driving with my kids now. (Hold my breath the whole time) But in a sensible Toyota, not a Range Rover. Otherwise, just another straw on my camel's back.
  13. For someone who couldn't allow standard flooring and paint etc. in her home due to their "toxicity", Shannon has created a toxic mess of her body and mind with menopause thrown in. As "I play a doctor on TV" I recommend the following actions STAT (also it will keep her distracted from the hollering, crying, oversharing, overeating and overdrinking) THERAPY. WESTERN MEDICINE. YOGA. HORMONES. (or not-- depends) ANTI-DEPRESSANTS/MOOD STABILIZERS (or not-- depends) TAMRA'S LOW-CARB, HIGH PROTEIN, BOOZE-FREE DIET. EXERCISE DAILY. QUIT DRINKING. EXTRA WALKING IN ADDITION TO EXERCISE. Obviously all her other "hoodoo" consultants are not working. She really does seem to be in a physical, mental and emotional crisis. She is at a very good risk for high BP, heart disease, stroke and some cancers. Her mental stability is questionable. She can take comfort in that she would actually be one of the "normal" ones in my exercise class as she is at 170 lbs right here IN SOUTH ORANGE COUNTY! We are not all sticks with glued on lashes and nails and "fun bags." Also she is smaller than I dare say much of middle America. A few years ago, I looked down at a sudden paunch when I went through menopause. I worked hard to lose it. When she started RHOC, she was a most attractive middle aged affluent looking lady in the 110s. As for Lydia, Really? How can it be 2017 when print magazines are in a death spiral (Even men's magazines like Playboy) and giving themselves away (I have a basket full in my bathroom) and you think there is a MARKET for this "Nobleman?" Hahahaha. There are already many better magazines aimed at a high end market. There are even better OC "throwaway" magazines. I think the magazine was some producer's idea for beautiful photo ops for the Lydiot. And a non-pixie dust story. And Lydia, when Shannon does "come to Jesus" it WON'T be because of YOU. One more kinda snarky annoyance: When Lydia stands, she arches her back to show that she couldn't even FAKE having any sort of protruding tummy. Like "check me out-- see how I'm TRYING to have a stomach? But I just can't...I'm too thin and sinewy" Those big boobs are wrong on her too BTW. She should just be a sylph.
  14. Yes, Whitney is delusional about her mad dancing skills. In her defense, she IS a better dancer than Legend Diva Vegas Headliner, Mariah Carey these days! That's what they do--CARRY her G-forced-spanxed-sky-high-spiked-heeled considerably sized ass around the stage! Haha. Mind you, Whitney doing that same Vegas choreography would be like moving a major kitchen appliance around. One would need far more back up haulers dancers. Knowing Whitney, she'd at least try to get by on the arm wave, sass and wiggle factors!
