RHoSLC in the Media: So Salty!

[SweetieDarling]

It's the Christmas gift we've waited for!

Britani has released a Christmas EP!

Quote

Now she’s released Britani’s Holiday EP. It has three songs, Oh Holy Night, Jingle Bells, and What Child is This? One can only hope her next album will contain original hits like I Have an Announcement, High Body Count Hair, and What About Me?

Whitney's dress is not good.

I really like Angie's dress.

[snarts]

I like the simplicity of both Whitney's & Lisa's dresses. Heather's dress is nice as well but she looks uncomfortable in it.

Angie's dress reminds me of my larte 80s Jessica McClintock homecoming gown, replete with hoop skirt. 

WTF is Bronwyn wearing?

I do not get her fascination with ruffles. I think that dress is the cousin to the one she wears on her TH's.

I really like the color of Angie's dress, it can look a little prom like but I like the drama of it.

One thing I noticed was we are not looking at everyone's boobs, under boob, side boob, jumping out of their tops boobs, thankfully.

lol! I noticed that too. I was going to say, at least the Salt Lake women are dress tastefully. I see nothing wrong with showing some cleavage, but sometimes the reunions are like this massive display of boobies.

Not too bad for a HW reunion. 

Bronwyn's dress is a Carolina Herrera from the archives of the fashion house. It was worn by Karlie Kloss at The Met Gala. Bronwyn bought it for the reunion and her personal collection. Is the Bravo reunion that important to wear a dress like this (meaning to take it out of the CH archives)? 

I like the color of Angie's dress, as well.

When Whitney was on WWHL last week Andy asked her what her favorite (Heather) and least favorite (Lisa) reunion looks were?  I know she had to be lying to slam Lisa, because there's no way Lisa was worst dress, especially with Bronwyn in the mix! 😄

Ironically, Whitney' dress was awful, I'd say the worst. It looked cheap, too much leg and you know that slit was going to ride up the second she sat down.

She wasted her money. It hurts me to say that because I really like most of what Carolina Herrera designs, (she has a few bags I would kill to own), I think Lu said it best when she said to Alex, Even, (in this case C. Herrera) makes mistakes.

[ZettaK]

Whitney also said on Watch What Happens Live which aired just after the reunion that all the women went to dinner after filming it, except for Bronwyn. 

ETA: Does it mean Bronwyn is kind of isolated from the other women if she didn't go to dinner with them after the reunion? Whitney didn't say Bronwyn was busy, or something similar.

Edited January 12 by ZettaK

[Starlight925]

I think they all look great except for Bronwyn.  As usual, her insecurities cause her to overdo everything, so much "look at me" it's painful.

And yes, Whitney definitely said they all went to dinner without her.  I hope at the reunion, we see more of what caused the major rift.

My favorite is Mary's.  Clean, classic, with that gorgeous gold trim on the sleeves and hem.  Plus, it's the best dress for sitting, which these ladies never seem to do while trying on.

[Juneau Gal]

I think Bronwyn believes that all the neck ruffles and odd shoulder details frame her face in a flattering way. She is wrong. 
Her taste in clothing, make up, jewelry, interior design is really quite atrocious. Taste is subjective, I know, just please don’t subject me to Bronwyn’s “taste”. My eyes! My eyes!

Maybe it's my tiny screen, but aren't they very similar bridesmaid-y dresses? Nothing against bridesmaid-y dresses; after all, I like Meredith's dress (without the jacket) the best.

I think the problem with Bronwyn's dress is it was designed for a 6'2" svelte model attending the Met Gala.  Tailoring it to Bronwyn's frame kinda ruined the effect.  I think that is the problem with many of Bronwyn's looks--they wear her; she isn't wearing them, if that makes sense.

Since she has a lot of $$$, I think she would be more successful with her looks if she wore understated clothing designs and showed off incredible jewelry and her collection of purses.

To paraphrase Nina Garcia (Project Runway), it really its a question of taste with her.

To paraphrase the Friends quote that I always think of when I see her:  "She's not even good looking enough to be on tv!"  😄

Angie's dress is an Oscar De La Renta with a price of $10,990.

Lisa's dress is a dark purple Herve Leger.

Meredith's Dress was designed by Brooks Marks (her son).

Edited January 12 by ZettaK

[Baltimore Betty]

Brooks made something for his mother without his name all over the seams, remarkable, the dress is really good.

[Ms.Lulu]

Whiney's Monot is $1398

 

[CharlizeCat]

I like Lisa, Mary, and Meredith's dresses the best.

I hate the 'slit' on Whitneys dress. So not sexy. Just looks like someone made a mistake with the scissors.

Like a hoochie mama prom dress and looks cheap.  It looks like it does not have any lining or boning or anything that makes it look like a haute couture dress, that slit is going to ride up the second she sits down.

I have a said for years that, with these reunion dresses, spend more time on how it looks sitting down than standing.  Almost no time is spent on one’s feet at these things.

Every HW cast, every reunion, they either have to tug their dresses up or down!

Yes - Meredith will win on the "seated" look since she won't have to do either!  Maybe Brooks Marks has learned a few things since the name-tape years!

Whitney has to be careful her dress doesn't exploit her vagina.

She can't help herself. She wants to look sexy.

Jenn Shah's sentence has been reduced, again.

[dmeets]

If Lisa and Heather (Bad Leather) manage to talk Andy and Bravo into rehiring Jenn after her release, which I'm convinced they want, I'll probably quit the RH franchise altogether.

Jenn Shah's sentence has been reduced, again.

She defrauded people of millions of dollars for decades, but she stashed some money to hire competent attorneys, and she attended all the proper programs in prison in order to reduce her term to a little more than 4 years....

I don't blame you, but that would be low even for Bravo standards. With the Guidice and Girardi scandals, it's tricky to tell just how involved the wives were. Jen is a different beast.

I will quit Bravo and cancel my Peacock premium streaming subscription. There's no need to see that!

Ditto Mary, but they just love having her around for some reason.

[snarts]

Mary explains why she agreed to film & let air the conversation with Robert Jr a tabloid threatened to expose it.

Not a Mary fan but I understand & support her decision here. Better to own the story than let someone else write & tell it.

So it worked out well for them - yay.  It does not change the fact that she waited for a camera crew to arrive before having the discussion with him 🙄

You are assuming this was the first time they had that conversation...like a lot of things that play out on these HW shows sometimes it takes multiple takes.

Mary is not my favorite, but I'm sure this was not the first time they had the conversation. I understand the mixed thoughts about filming something so personal. I don't want anyone vulnerable exploited, but as someone who recently lost a friend to an overdose, I think being more open about these struggles can lead to less stigma and more people having conversations and getting their loved ones help. Some parents don't even want to admit their kids have a problem.

I am so sorry for your loss.  The drug problem is real and beyond sad and yes, people should talk more about it, Mary has a very public platform and she should use it to help make a difference. Hopefully Robert Jr. gets sober and does the work to stay sober, I just do not think he needs to be on camera, I do not think he was in his right mind to make that decision.

Mary should also go to Alanon, there is a lot to know about how to deal with somebody who is an addict.

Thank you. It really is a huge problem. I know we all have different opinions on filming. I have wondered myself if it is wrong and if Robert Jr. was not in his right mind to consent. I really do see both sides.  I still believe Mary about where she was coming from as a public figure with rumors swirling and know we all wish Robert Jr. well. He's so young and has his whole life ahead of him. 

Agree.

I'm assuming it because Mary acted shocked to hear what he had been up to. If they had already talked then she's a better actor than I'd given her credit for.
