Baltimore Betty

We all agree that Kim was not sober for that Poker party and my guess is that Monty probably left her house if she ended her sobriety, it is a very common thing for people to disengage from the user till they get help in their sobriety also, Kim making Monte's cancer all about her is typical in the manipulative, self centered behavior of an addict. My other thought was Kim had taken a bit too much of her anti anxiety meds ala game night at Dana's house and perhaps all of the Paris trip. I see the cycle starting with Kim, she gets mad because others are suspecting or asking her about her drinking, pills etc... but not being able to see that she is fooling no one. Kyle should attend ALANON to learn how to cope and not enable.

I could not wait to read all the posts this morning! A few things stuck in my mind (and it seems like a few other minds too) Porsha and her lingerie at the beach sex toy party, wtf? That was awful! And what is her fascination with the head bands? Worn straight across her forehead looks terrible. Pheadra please burn that mesh cover up, it is not covering up anything! Ackulades, (that could have been a drinking game and the same with "clit", please stop with that! What is it with those women and their stunted mental growth and strange attitudes about sex? It seems like they are clueless about their bodies. It will be to soon if Kandi ever plans another toy party, the 12 year old mentality is shameful. I did love it when Kandi asked the ladies the question about sex and Porsha was the only one to answer and it was a very telling answer about wanting to be called names, (but Nene did not call her a whore). So all the women were late for the show, Demetria sang well imo, her costume was not flattering at all...I had no issue with the back up dancer's. I wonder if any of the ladies show up late for Nene's debut will she give them a pass? Remember when the gang showed up late for a party at her LA house, she would not let them in but she shows up late to the other ladies events. Honestly, Demetria invited/hosted/paid for the gang to PR and the one thing they had to do is simply show up and they were late but Demetria was not pissed at all, I don't get it?

Speaking as a person who has climbed that sort of floating staircase numerous times, I always moved slowly up and down, no running! Each riser is cantilevered and imbedded in the wall so well that I never thought they would break off but I always stayed close to the wall, they are made of cement and steel. Carole's house is not child friendly but why should it be, she has no children.

I am not grooving on the pink cape thing Kyle is wearing, it smacks of Joan Crawford/Mommy Dearest to me. And yes, zoeysmom...Faye meet bra indeed!

I could have sworn that there was an outside shot of an apartment building with a sub title that said, "Gigi's first apartment" did she move? All the time and trouble Yolanda put in to decorating it and after one year Gigi moved to another apartment? So why didn't Yo pester her friends to paint tiles for Bella? That shaggy white rug will be red wine stained with cigarette burns soon enough I am sure! When my daughter started college she was in a dorm and it was mandatory that all freshman buy the meal plan, about $3000 for the year. Since her sophomore year she has been in apartments so between the rent, food, Starbucks, gas and electric etc...it is about $1800 a month, sometimes more depending on school expenses. I am in no way in the same financial boat as Kyle but I make it work. My daughter graduates this May but I think back to that day I left her in the dorm room...I smiled the whole way back down Interstate 95, I left behind a very self sufficient young lady who quickly learned to navigate her way thru the city of Philadelphia and excel in school, (I am quite sure I will fall apart at graduation). Mauricio really has a way about him, very calming, Kyle is lucky to have him be there for her but she needs to get a grip! I felt second hand shame for Max when he had to talk about his financial standings on camera, shame on Ken and Lisa for doing that. But honestly, not having insurance for your car is shameful, I wonder if his girlfriend knows he is driving her car with insurance? We have to get emissions testing done here, don't do it and it leads to a fine then more trouble, not getting your registration renewed etc...which costs more in the long run, Max will wind up paying more money now to fix things, that speaks volumes about him, lazy or the "rules don't apply to me" attitude. Sadly Ken and Lisa have probably been down this road a few times with him. Brandi is a nitwit. Because Eddie and Leanne mention her name on TV she thinks she is something but doesn't she mention them on her show a lot too? The check Brandi held up was for $1000 and she was complaining about it, am I wrong in thinking the check was child support and not an alimony check? So Eddie is taking care of his children and not obligated to give Brandi money, so take the money, make sure the kids have food, clothing and an education and learn to fend for yourself. Was Kim there? Good lord she blends in to the furniture, no story line, nothing to say at all. Jennifer and the rest of them...paid friends?

A little part of me wanted a girl fight between Mrs. Babyface and Brandi after the crack about the ring, maybe that would have taught Brandi a lesson.

I still maintain that if I were Cynthia I would not invest any more money in Peter's ventures until he took some business classes and worked for a large chain bar/restaurant to get some knowledge of how to be profitable in the hospitality industry.

I just spent a week with some Aussies, they never even heard of the Real Housewives of Melbourne! I clued them in to what a train wreck it is to watch and threw out some of the names of the women, they never heard of any of them or their husbands but were familiar with Silver chair to which they said that band had been long over with. Maybe RHOM does not interest their homeland.

I want to keep hitting "like!"

For the record, my swans are well behaved. Did anyone else catch the scene in Palm Springs when Lisa Rinna got out of the limo and waived to the crowd? I heard crickets. When Kim said that Monty would come and go from her house from time to time it made me think there might have been a substance abuse issue with him.

My thought exactly. Shades of Adrienne and Paul.

While the rest of us know the correct usage, Nene and her strange way of not understanding the rules of plural usage made us notice it when she would refer to "Greg kids" or "bridemaid." I was being snarky.

Wouldn't that be "I will never be FRIEND with ...

Isn't the first line of defense (especially by the crowd with money) rehab? Seems as though anyone on the A - D list runs to some kind of rehab once they are caught (doing something they shouldn't be doing) by the police or spouse. I am surprised Bella skipped the trip to Betty Ford.

Isn't Toukie Smith the girlfriend of Robert Di Nero?

Laser hair removal left her face numb? Never heard of it happening. I had 3 rounds of laser treatment to get rid of tiny broken veins, sun spots and other things and was never numb from it, swollen and red yes but numb, never. Love this description!

Brandi is so short sighted it frustrates me. I noticed when she was talking to the radio guy her speech was funky like it was at the end of last season, like her tongue is too big for her mouth. It didn't seem like that during the first two episodes of this season, wonder if she got a tune up of what ever "it" was. Did she say she could keep her radio show family friendly then followed it up with "bitches?" Ugh. I actually have been lusting for a Range Rover Evoque but would never spend that much money on a car for a number of reasons, one is my daughter is graduating from college in May but plans to get her masters so my money is not quite my own yet, lol. It was interesting that Yolanda spent only to weeks with her ailing mother but agreed to do a bit of yachting with Kyle and family. Either way it is time away from her king, how could he function with out her?

I am stumped by Brandi's stupidity, her kids were going to be excited to see half their college fund in the driveway? She does not have a pot to piss in but, plastic surgery, yes, a closet full of overpriced clothing, yes, renting houses and uprooting her two children every time a lease is up and leasing cars means nothing is permanent or stable for those kids she professes to move heaven and earth for. I thought Kyle's description of Kim's MOB dress was spot on but I liked it and I liked her hair (from what we saw in the preview). Secretly, I was hoping for the boat in Spain to be the Ohana, that would have been great, bitchy resting face and all!

That is funny, I too were waiting for my cruise packet the other day and I thought how different it was from waiting for a prison packet. Sucks to be Tre. My first thought of Tre going off to prison was all the free time Joe will have now so he chase the ladies, my second was how in the world can they afford a nanny?

I thought it was art imitating life or visa versa when they showed the clip of Lisa and Eileen from the soap then cut back to the lunch, they seemed like strangers in the clip and in real life, sort of like a cold reading. I finally saw the airplane scene with Yo and her king, yowsa, now that is flying private! I feel like such a peasant.

The diamond/crystal thing reminds me of the Gypsy girls always referring to the bling on the awful dresses as diamonds, they have got to know they are not really diamonds, right?

Just in case you were in Beverly Hills looking for a Target, there is one at the Beverly Center! I actually love the peek in to the amazing closets, trips etc...that is what I watch for, that and the petty first world bull crap these women heap on each other, lol. Portia is adorable, much more watchable and less cringe worthy than the Real Milania of New Jersey.

What ever happened to Kyle's clothing boutique?

Wasn't that the same bridal salon that Tamra went to for her gown?

I would love to know what exactly would be the collaborative between Obama and Kandi anyway? Maybe Todd meant Mr. President as in Phaedra's kid.
