ITA. I guess she thinks of herself as cute and amusing but I find her so bloody affected all the time. I wonder if Terry ever says "enough" or has been emasculated to the point of nothing more than 24/7 of "Yes, dear."  

He’s a wuss if I ever saw one.  No say.  A real “yes” man.

My long lost sister, I have found you! My DR table is covered in medical supplies that need to be sorted, just cleaned off a kitchen counter so I could make bread, and threw a science experiment out of my fridge. There is a card table in my LR that once had a jigsaw puzzle on it that is now covered with mail, mags, salt and pepper, and a computer. That's how I roll.

?

Now that’s living.  Salt and pepper is a must, and tissues.  Constantly blowing my nose.  Allergies.

I always thought Terry's "yes dear" attitude was a complete act for the show. He gave her the silent treatment until she agreed to do the show. He also threatened to divorce her when she was unhappy doing the show and wanted to quit. 

I mean they are both phonies - Heather clutching her pearls because Kelly called her the C-word only to find out that word is her favorite swear word - and that she had the dirtiest mouth of all of the women on the show at the time (and this is from Heather's own mouth in a video I saw online). But, Terry always struck me as the driving force of the way things need to be in the marriage because he was so willing to threaten divorce over a stupid reality show that his wife had no interest in appearing on.

I am shocked. Here I thought he was a wimp.  And her. So she’s a phony from Westchester that everyone thinks she’s the boss.  Interesting.

Handbag, purse, suitcase, backpack, tote bag, chefs roll...so many to peruse. ;-)

The best ones are those where it's a spur of the moment purse dump. You get to see a snippit of their life in objects. 

Sometimes you come across "logo/name loving strivers" trying to out glam each other. 

One of the best searches is Nathalie Leroc's watercolors of what people carry. Once she hits 1000 she's gonna publish a book. I've been waiting a long long time for that book.

Kate Spade also put out a purse dump book a while back. I had to buy it. I also bought one on chef's refrigerator contents.

I'd be curious to see housewive's purse dump. The closest we ever got was when Lisa V. got Kyle's purse wet on a plane and she had to dump.

I don't peek into cabinets, iceboxes or purses just to snoop because it's a terrible invasion of privacy but I will look if they post it online or they expose it in front of me.

Purse boogers.

I made it a thing long ago, and stand by my principles.  Run those nasty fake claws along the lining of any bag you carry & see what they pick up ...

I know this was the official Dubrow line but I ... just don't buy it.  Heather joined HWs in 2012; prior to this her last scripted role was 2009. I'm not denigrating her career -- she clearly was a working actor, mostly in sitcoms. But by 2012 she was also a middle-aged woman with 4 kids (the youngest wasn't even school age yet I don't think) and a husband who'd already established himself in reality TV, so it's reasonable to wonder if she really could jet off to location for a film or spend days in H'wood taping a TV show. I guess a live-in nanny could have cared for the kids during the week but I can't see that happening. My guess is the conversation went like this:

H-- Terry, I want to talk to you. Terry, listen to me.

T- I'm listening.

H- The Real HWs is holding another casting call at South Coast Plaza. Maybe I should go? No, I'll have my agent make a call. I have an agent because I am a serious actress.

T- How much does it pay?

H- That doesn't matter. I can bring a new dynamic to the series. I'm different, so very different from the usual women they cast. I drink champs. We've never filed bankruptcy. I have exacting tastes and expectations. And I am a serious actress.

T- It would be good exposure for my practice. I want to be on, too! I like being on camera -- it takes me to my happy place.

H- All right, I'll investigate. But we must agree that this is your idea -- I am a serious actress and I don't want to be marginalized as a reality-tv star. Do you agree that we go with the line that you wanted to do the show and I gave in under duress? We can say you threatened to divorce me! That will keep them talking about us!

T- Do you think we can pull it off?

H- Of course we can -- I am a serious actress.

Ironically, since joining in 2012 Heather has been on 5 scripted shows; conversely, she's been on 25 shows as herself. Looks like reality tv hasn't marginalized her but has given her huge exposure.

My end table .. a gigantic red backscratcher, cough drops, nose spray, lotion, eye mask ( in case I fall asleep to keep forehead warm)  and water.  Also, in our bedroom, I have two sound machines going on full blast, and have to have my little pillow to rest my arm on while sleeping.  I told the husband if I die first, bury all my things with me as I might need them.  You never know.  LMAO   Hahahahahaha.

I am fastidious about my purse being clean and organized all because of my mother. Her purse was a mess inside and I refused to ever go in it. I'd just hand it to her to get sonething out. 

Mine, I can tell you exactly where you will find something but they are just regular purses. I hate organizer purses with a pocket or place for each & every little friggin thing. 

Highly recommend a paint brush & tooth brush to dust inside. Turn it inside out of it's soft enough.

My purse is actually a tote I got "free" with Virginia Slims UPC codes decades ago - and looks like new despite being used & abused to this day.  The only time it has been "turnt" is when I had to hit the brakes hard, and it went flying off my passenger seat.  ;-)

My favorite purse is about 10 to years old. I have 2 of them and take them to my leather guy to keep them in shape. Twice a year I get all my bags down, get out the shoes and anything else thats leather and give them some tlc. 

The title character on Netflix's "Rita", a Danish show about a teacher (highly recommend it), has always carried a Kaiser's cotton grocery bag as her handbag. I Iiked that about her.  It suited her character.

Terry really really really wants to be on television. Maybe he didn't have to talk Heather into it as much as they claim, but I can easily believe that he was the one of the driving forces behind them being on the show. I think the clearest evidence of that is if you compare his IMDB with Paul's. I'm ignoring all of their joint Botched! related interviews or any that they might have had to do to promote their respective Real Housewives shows.

Terry was on the Swan, Bridalplasty, the plastic surgery talk show that he co-hosted with RuPaul (Good Work), the celebrity edition of Who Wants to be a Millionaire, and that's not even getting to RHoOC, Botched, and Botched by Nature.

While Paul had done 1 episode of Dr. 90210, 2 episodes of a show about plastic surgery before & after for Discovery Health, 2 documentaries about bad plastic surgery outcomes one of which was for HBO documentary films, an interview with 20/20 about Charlie Sheen who was was a friend and because someone at Sheen's house called as Sheen was overdosing, which forced Paul to call 911, RHoBH, Botched, Botched by Nature, and an episode of Hollywood Medium.

Terry clearly comes across as the bigger fame whore. I think that the most one could credibly accuse Heather of is wanting RHoOC as much as Terry did, but it's clear that Terry really likes being on tv because the Swan and Bridalplasty were condemned by television and cultural critics and the medical community.

I get a feeling she might be coming back. Her YouTube channel keeps getting pushed in "recommendations" 

No, that's just a sign that the algorithm sees that you might be watching either a bunch of Real Housewives, Bravo, reality tv, or lifestyle porn videos on YouTube. The recommended videos are also informed by the rest of your googling and Chrome use. If it's featured or sponsored, she paid to promote it. Otherwise, you probably got Heather's YouTube channel recommendations based on your own YouTube viewing, Google searches, and Chrome use.

Paul also has a skin care product line that he shills on HSN.

And Terry has his Consult Beaute line that he shills on Evine. Much like their joint appearances, I think this kind of thing is a wash.

Furthermore much like high fashion (they use perfume, makeup, and accessories to derive most of their income), many plastic surgeons have realized that there are huge amounts of money to be made at the lower end. "Can't afford a tummy tuck or liposuction, well I have this serum with skin tightening compounds." Next thing you know, you're spending $50 a bottle for something that has negligible effect and only lasts 3 months. Suddenly you're spending $200 a year and in a decade you've freely given them $2000 for no material or permanent improvement.

I think Heather's fridge looks sterile, and not in a good modern way. It's as if one wouldn't dare pour themselves a glass of whatever was in the decanters lest the hostess blow a gasket over the uneveness of liquid levels. All I see is the first part of Sleeping with the Enemy.

At least Yolanda's fake fridge looked inviting.

To me Heather's second fridge was much more interesting.

Yes I'm one of those who pauses the TV just to take inventory of what is in the refrigerators, pantrys and cabinets of housewives and others.

Here's the video

It's colder than I would choose, but the etched window is nicer and more heartfelt than the brief glimpse we saw on the show.

However, those onyx panels are the actual most insufferable thing in the home. It's 40 feet up. No one can get up close to see that it's real onyx. She could have easily had glass, Lexan, or acrylic panels credibly faux painted to look like onyx rather than suspending 1.5 tons of stone over people's heads. Even worse is the fact is that a number of companies make lightweight onyx or faux onyx materials to avoid the precise predicament that we saw Heather's builder have to grapple with.

Here is the next chapter in the adventures of Heather's House Tours.

It's so hard for me to watch these and not see them as a parody. I mean, really? What does she need that ladder for? What the hell is up there?

 The empty photo frames are so very "Heather".

https://www.reddit.com/r/BravoRealHousewives/comments/9reu1h/everyone_hated_the_entryway_now_you_can_see/

Honestly, my little home office is so much sweeter, with all of my books, and photo frames with real family photos and meaningful mementos. Cozy little armchair with ottoman and blanket. Only aesthetically non personal objects are my laptop and mini bluetooth speaker, but the laptop takes me to my favorite places and the little speaker brings me so much joy through my music. 

Also, I don't have to worry about curtains, the only eyes looking in on me through my window are the birds, squirrels, raccoons and the occasional skunk.

I am envious of her little bar and personal bathroom.

I think that Heather is very happy with her life, her home, her family. 

She does seem to be very proud of her children, her husband and their accomplishments, which she should be.

I guess it's just her home that appears so sterile, so cold and well, not home like. Every time I see photos, in my mind I hear cool echoing footsteps and voices and don't feel warm inside or happy fuzzy family vibes. 

To me, that house is just void of any real feeling, it's a decent setting for American Horror Story, Profits of Plastic.

Starring: Terror and Pleather Dubrow.

Of course the shelves/cubbies in her office have a lot of tchotchkes instead of books. 

If I sat down at her desk, the first thing I would do was toss that giant pillow out of the chair! Why is that even there???

That was concerning to me.  I would walk very quickly through that foyer knowing that there was that much weight above my head!  I wonder how many people it takes in order to keep that place clean.   I do like the dumb waiter she had installed.  That is very practical and helpful with a home that size.   It's hard to fathom having the kind of money that would allow one to indulge one's every wish when building a house.  I don't begrudge them anything, but having a "champagne button" seems a little pretentious to me.  If I was the hired help  and I saw that light come on, I'd just have to say "get it your own damn self."

So in the last 48 hours Heather & Terry have had 4 things posted on the Bravo site, 1 just a few hours ago (go to the "Latest News" column on the right). This much coverage makes me wonder if they're either stumping for their own Let-us-show-you-how-to-live-your-most-authentic-self-and-lifestyle show or Heather wants back on HWs. If it's the latter I imagine she's trying to arrange an LVP or Bethenny deal where she'll get more input in the production end of things. I don't care if she comes back but, please, Bravo, do not give another HW any role other than show up, say her lines and shut up.

Heather is insufferable in her own way but I thought she brought an interesting presence to the show.  I loved the contradiction of the pristine image she tried to project against the tawdry nature of getting dragged into the mud with the likes of Tamra and Kelly Dodd.  It was fun watching her try to juggle the two, and I'd love to have her back.  The show has had two seasons to find a worthy replacement, and they've failed miserably.

If I want to revel in the Dubrow aesthetic, I’ll go to the nearest high-end luxury mall. Marble & onyx & towering ceilings for miles. 

If i  want to be home, give me cozy & accessible, as so many have already said. Bingo bango bongo — Terror & Pleather are interesting but I’m glad I lack whatever it is that gives a person the drive to ACHIEVE! OWN! EXCEL!!! like that.

Enough to brag about, of course.  

I do like the dumb waiter, though. Being able to deliver groceries etc. straight to the kitchen from the car would be very convenient in such a huge home. Other than that, I wouldn't care to live there. Even the "champs" button is a silly idea. Like there is an actual person just sitting on the other end of that button waiting for the summons to deliver champagne?

Now we have crystals falling to the floor to worry about.
