Baltimore Betty

For my son's most recent birthday (31, oy how did that happen?) I sent him a lobster roll kit from a company in Maine, it is the next best thing to being there!

We could start talking about pineapple on pizza next, talk about divisive!

I have a friend who is now 61 and she was a deb, (still has and fits in the dress she wore!), and it is a foreign to me as the Greek language. I would have expected Shannon to want to have her daughters be debutants if they were on the east coast or in a southern state but I just do not think of LA being the place for that tradition. Shannon's wedding dress could be altered to be a debutant dress, just add opera length pearls and over the elbow length gloves and there you have it! How funny Shannon talks about her wedding dress, gets her daughter to put it on (omg, stand up straight girl) and her boyfriend comes in, Shannon's past marriage plays front and center and this guy is not scared, kudooz to him. Shannon is crying over the lack of paper towel, just wait until she is on lockdown and the impending death count, that is something to cry about. Also, I thought she would be one for reuseable towels so she would not part of killing trees. Brawny and her screaming "LISTEN TO ME," shows the tip of her iceberg. Once again we have an on camera therapy session, why does the number of her children keep changing, tonight she has 9, is that the most recent count? I do not need to see her son's personal journey to drag or trans, it is hard enough to do in private which makes me wonder how sincere is his exploration. Why would she make her husband stop giving their anxiety ridden daughter a glimmer of hope about Covid, that just seemed cruel. Watching them pour expensive tequilla down the drain instead of giving it to a neighbor or Shannon, wow, that was like throwing money down the drain. Everyone caught the Shotski on the bar behind Brawny and her husband, right? Gina knows her house is a bit tight for 6 kids, if she can keep that organized, keep up with school work and laundry she is my hero. I am not hating her lately but I am hating her extensions.

Their snobby ways would make them question every ingredient on the plate, the stews could make up some bs about the crab's lineage and the the ground the lettuce was grown on was royal property and watered with the tears of angels if they could think fast on their feet, those posers would act like they could taste the angel tears. Presentation can distract from the taste of the food, if it looks fancy it will taste better,lol.

I knew something was up when Dr. Hair walked in to Karen's house with wigs on heads, not even in the packaging, like this was some sort of last minute Hail Mary pass for yet another business/story line about how busy the mogul Karen is these days. $700+, are they made of human hair? Most of the Orthodox women around here spend twice that at least and they are human hair, slightly less for a halo like wig. I know Porsha of Atl has wig line but never looked at the pricing, is $700 a competitive price?

Like most restrictive religions the woman will be blamed as the evil temptress and Yazan will be welcomed back in the fold.

I calls 'em like I sees 'em!

Honestly, if he is a devout Muslim he should stick to his own kind, there is nothing wrong with wanting to make a life with someone who shares the same upbringing and culture. Lot's of different religions encourage their congragants to find someone within their own kind within the religion.

See, that is exactly what I would be thinking if I were Gizelle, he cheated on you when you were married why would he not if you are long distance dating, why is G such a fool? I always say your ex is your ex for a reason, Jamal is not going to change.

I know a lot of the HW's wear wigs convincingly, I may take a page out of their book.

If Karen would have been honest and said she was caught between a rock and hard place and was caught off guard about what to say in reguards to Monique being invited or not...I think that would have been an honest response but instead she lied. Ashley could not wait to put Karen in the hot seat about her lie with all the ladies present. I have said it before and I will say again, Ashely's apartment looks cramped and oddly decorated, the walls are painted strangely, my hunch is that it was the model apartment for the building and we see the decorator's choices that were there when Michael moved in and does not care to change it, it does not look like Ashley's style is anywhere in that place. No. Karen's house looks rented, no personal touches anywhere, the walls are a blank slate, Karen seems like the type to want to have some big ridiculous portrait of herself somewhere prominatly hanging to greet her guests.

Baugher's is about 13 minutes up the road from me, I used to take my kids there when they were little, they have cherry trees and apple orchards too, I am a little bummed I did not know they were filming! It is interesting that they schlepped from Potomac to Westminster as in there was no other pumpkin patch closer to Potomac. Isn't it interesting that Wendy's mother went from telling her she is a spoiled brat to telling her do what makes you happy in the same breath. Wendy's mother kept saying she had no idea places like this existed in the US, was this really surprising to her? There is plenty of farm land around Potomac. Karen has a wig line now and Ray is fine with yet another (fake) venture that takes her away from him...I seriously doubt she is working 12 hours a day on this project. Why do I think we have seen Karen walking out of her own event in the past like this is not the first time it has happened. Jamal went to Ghana? The girls are more than okay with him not being anywhere near the photo shoot. I thought the blonde wig on Candiace looked really good, (I am seriously considering buying a wig, I am trying to grow out my hair from a very short cut and my hair is stuck in an ugly, awkward stage that seems to be eternal). Robin's wig was not bad either, maybe this product line will fair better than her perfume. Wouldn't it have been funny if Karen had all the ladies model wigs for her website then cut Robin out of it?!

The second she said it I thought she might use this as her "go to" move when one of her kids does something to displease her...Father Sumit did not bat an eye at that statement but maybe a thought bubble over his head would have said "Shit or get off the pot!" Sumit carries a cooler to the picnic, he gives Jenny a ring and she is delighted but will he wear the ring Jenny bought him? He declined wearing before when he was married but now he is divorced, will Jenny put a ring on it and will it stay on?

If there were to be a movie made based on the SLC HW's Owen Wilson would play Whitney's father.

I agree 100% about if your religion and culture is THAT important to you then why even trifle with anyone who does not follow your religion or culture because at some point you or your mate will decide that baptism or what ever is suddenly the most important thing or your family needs you to raise the baby in their religion, etc... Yes, that was my point.

https://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/93381037_countess-luann-de-lesseps-2017-randi-rahm-wedding I am hopelessly addicted to on line auction sites...a few celeb dresses on on this site as well.

Lu's wedding dress she wore when she married Tom is on the auction block, it is up to $250 with four days to go.

Like the baby version of the bald British actor who was Kristin Wiig's roommate in Bridesmaids.

That is frightening!

It is a traditional hair cut babies get before they are baptised, Bini did it himself. See what I mean by not asking questions prior to an event, if only there was a way to find out information about different cultures, sigh.

He has Angela's smile.

Yes, just go thru the motions, let the family enjoy the pageantry, etc...but my question is when there is a ceremony that will be a new experience for someone why don't the people in the know share the information about what to expect during that ceremony? Maybe a heads up about some holy man smashing a bible in your face or the fact you would not be able to see what was happening, etc...Why wouldn't Ari ask a million questions about the baptism from start to finish? In this day and age of enlightenment about all cultures and religions I am surprised that our free thinking Ari decided to draw the line baptism, after all she is a world traveller, immersing herself in all cultures she chose to raw dog a local and THIS is what she says "no" to? I would have said no to that awful haircut Bini gave the baby, lol.

Sean seems like he is just biding his time, maybe he is playing along just so Brawny has a story line. Shannon's boyfriend is at most her wrangler/handler, what does he see in her if this is a common occurance? Shannon's name should be Shannon "I'm not as think as you drunk I am" Storms-Beador. Side note to her handler, keep her away from any and all kids that are not hers, cringe is not a strong enough word. My new life goal is to get really tanked then find a Hispanic person so I can blather on about the cube of queso in Spanish (side note to self, learn Spanish). Brawny inviting Emily and Gina to AA seems odd, shouldn't those two be going to Alanon instead of being a pair of looky lu's to what should be a private or anonymous gathering? I have never known an alcoholic to only drink one thing and nothing else, Brawny liking tequilla more than wine, vodka, etc...wouldn't she just drink the next available if there were no tequilla available? Elizabeth is sort of all over the map about her life, we will never get the fact from fiction and her boyfriend looks like a very tall toddler. Her dress at the renewal was bad as was Emily's and to add insult to injury she topped it off with a headband and bad earrings. Gina dipped in to her 1989 New Jersey wardrobe box and pulled out that lumpy sweater dress and then something fell out of Betsy Johnson's hair! We got a little of everything from our time spent in that very low ceilinged claustraphobic event space, didn't we? Back in the day when I was just starting to date after my multi million dollar divorce settlement (not, lol), I dated a guy who took me to NYC for a long weekend and we stayed at The Parker Meridian over looking Central Park, it was devine, now I want to someday go to Palm Springs and stay at the Parker just to have room service delivered via tricycle. Kelly pushing Elizabeth in the pool was an odd thing to do, I wonder if Elizabeth's phone was ruined?

If you ever get a Cornish Rex at your rescue please let me know! I am surprised how someone as normal as that interpreter came to be on this show.

We are three episodes in and we can check off some boxes already. Over blown birthday party, check. Roaring Twenties party, check. White party, check. Glam Squad, check. The Roaring Twenties party was the usual, a few guests that just do not get the concept as in that one who wore a suit but that jewelry...OMG, it was stunning art deco or would that have been Belle Epoch? The HW Shah had to have her GS do a trial hair and makeup (for a party that she was not even hosting), only to put on a dress that did not fit the time period and it looked as though she cut up her bedspread to make it. The baby shower was strange, The Beefy Blonde HW makes a speech about how young the mothers to be are? In a culture where marrying young is the norm why even mention how young they are? What was the point of starting shower games if you were just going to walk away? I know, it is all for show. White parties are a bit "done," aren't they? That squeaky voiced blonde HW going to the holy roller church with her father, I could have watched it on mute, the father's hair and facial expressions were nuts. The Preacher Woman HW has the worst wigs, bad condition, bad colors, worse than Kim Zolciak's first season wigs. Oh and that Tequilla HW, her son is hella annoying, nobody put their V in your face (is doing high kicks a thing at parties?), he rules the roost but not with his fabulousness but with his holier than thou shitty attitude. The daughter seemed normal. Wait, she is not the Tequilla HW, it is the other one that looks just like her but you know who I mean.
