I really have very little taste, but I do have a beautiful Jimmy Choo that I am afraid to carry. Lol

Ha.  I will never  not ruin purses which is why I rarely spend a lot of money.  I was just thinking, for four of her purses, she could buy Sutton's new car.  I wish I could get a new car for four of my $!30 purses.  

[which btw, is durable, unique and gets soooo many compliments.]

Only Garcelle could make a joke about waiting until someone died without seeming awful. 

This was totally a filler episode.  Some nice parts but nothing as juicy as previous weeks.

So I guess Erica will show up at the end of this episode. Frankly Bravo is no better than Tom Girardi. Always promising to give us something and then making us wait forever.

I don't expect an octogenarian to deliver, but seriously Bravo? That was very anticlimactic.

Garcelle is just the best.

That bag was literally nothing special and looked like an art project! Huh?

Why are there so many repeat fashions on this show? Lol 

Both NY and BH felt like filler episodes this week.

I have a thousand purses most of which are Coach. My choo was a gift from my NY boss to bring  a little of my New York back to Iowa...and like my NY, it sits in the dark closet being mean never seeing the light of day. Lol

Boring episode.  I thought Erika was dressed in her "Mrs. Tom Girardi" costume for Sutton's party!  Also, if we're gonna have to see the same old Kyle's old house with different furniture.... This does not pass the house porn test.  Neither does Rinna's back yard. What's up with that? I don't think Rinna's EVER HAD AN INDOOR PARTY????

You know, with over the top flowers, the good china, the chef, the bar, the candles, the FIREWORKS!!!

So contradictory the way Erica walks around as if she is a Viking Warrior. First she  let Tom Girardi use her as a front of a wife, and now she is letting Bravo pimp out her misery for more viewers.

Eh, Rinna's probably telling the truth, TMI as it is. Anytime I don't get how someone who has options is with somebody crazy, I figure they must be great in the sack. 

I don’t think Rinna ever tells the truth so there must be another reason.  Loved her sharing Amelia’s eating disorder.  Unfortunately, she left out the part that she’s responsible for it.

I was wondering about that above ground pool - any chance that is just their personal water resevoir for fire emergencies?

she shows up in a hideous fucking dress at that 

And, being Erika, she entered Sutton's Kyle's house with such a dramatic flair - I almost thought I was watching Joan Crawford or Bette Davis on Turner Classic Movies!!!  

Just by watching those last few seconds of the episode, Erika could definitely get a job on whatever soap opera Eileen Davidson is currently on.  (If she doesn't go to jail, that is.)  She's a quick study- I guess she learned a lot when she had that little walk-on part.

Oh Kyle, Door-it knows what your “friendship” is worth. It’s why she’s not groveling at your gnarly feet for it.

Sutton doing a boutique party reminds me of every home sales party I’ve been invited to. Inflated prices, check. Overdressed harpies, check. Blue pleated wrap, check. Too little seating, check. Food offered after shopping, check.

I am a big Sex and the City fan, and Kyle’s outfit—at Sutton’s Paris-inspired party—reminds me of what one of the DVD commentators (when you watch SATC with commentary on) said about Carrie’s outfit in Paris, in the finale.  The outfit looks chic at first, but as Kyle’s confidence (or Carrie’s on SATC) decreases, the outfit starts to look clownish.  The wardrobe people did that on purpose for Carrie, but I don’t think Kyle was going for that.  She did start to look foolish wearing it, while speaking her Kyle-isms.  
 

I was reminded of Carrie, because of that stupid hat.  I don’t find it chic on either woman, no matter what words they speak.  It’s ugly, IMO.

Kyle and Rinna are both so basic, they would show up in the same dress.  I like how Rinna says “Who knows, there could be another!”  I’m sure the dress is high-end and not cheap, but to me it looks like a dress you would wear after you found it by typing “Parisian theme dress” on Amazon Prime.

 

And I wonder if Kim is going to be mad at Kyle for mentioning the “goddamn house”.

🤷🏻‍♀️

Kyle is really feeling herself this season. She is taking her queen bitch role quite seriously right down to her silly hats and telling Dorit how to be a friend.  God i despise her. 
 

It will be interesting to see if Mr and Mrs Ghiradi will actually have to pay for their sins with jail time (yes oh please) or if they’ll skate. Stealing from widows and orphans trumps juicy Joe’s tax scams. Teresa had to pay ( not a Teresa supporter) for Joe’s wrong doings. I always felt they made an example of her bc she was a housewife. Why do I get the feeling Erika and Tom will slither out of it.

Sutton is always so aghast when people ask or talk about how much things cost but she just so gauchely dropped to Kyle and Kathy that she spent $35k on that party. 

Who wore it better Kyle or Rinna? Loathe as I am to admit it - Kyle.  I love that sorta 80s rich bitch dynasty vibe so that dress was serving to me, but was Kyle's bra showing in the back?

I love Kyle's present and past home. The decorating choices (by the morally bankrupt Faye Resnick) in her present home are a bit questionable though. 

I was kinda annoyed with all Kyle's references to Sutton's rental being her house and the 'you stole my g-damn house' reference.  If Sutton is late on the rent or leaves scuff marks on the walls, Kyle would most definitely throw that shit in her face.

I hate excessive logos so I hate what Dorit wore to Sutton's party.

Erika's entrance was way too dramatic.

Crystal's style reads very NYC chic to me. Mature, monied, lots of black and neutrals. Very classy and classic. I like her house. 

That Birkin was ugly as hell to me.  I can honestly I don't salivate over those bags. period.

Rinna shut up. Amelia talking about get eating disorder didn’t help anyone. 

How Erika entered into the room at the end made me laugh. What a dramatic loser. Her and Tom are horrible ppl. I think she’s divorcing him to hide assets. I mean he is a good lawyer he knows all the tricks.

Not even a Dorit fan but kind of agreed with her in that Kyle argument. Kyle needs to chill.

I hate that pink neon sign at the entrance of Kyles house. So tacky and it would annoy me.

Still liking Kathy lol.

How much money did Sutton get in her divorce because she seems like she spends a lot but I’ve tried googling it and never find a large number. Maybe it’s all private.

Wait $35K for Sutton’s party? Lol what..there’s no way.

35k for Sutton's party. (I smell a tax write off as well as her wardrobe, rental, car ect.)

I'm sure a lot of these women on all of the franchises play fast and loose to write off parties, meals, liquor, vacay rentals, wardrobe, shoes, jewelry,make-up, hair, cars, housing, plastic surgery, ect. as filming expenses for their "acting jobs".

Look out ladies, some actuary will come calling at some point.

I love Dorit is on to and not taking any of Kyle’s snotty BS.  Kyle looked like Mary Poppins and who would wear a dress with an open back then wear a bra, who wants to see that hardware, she is such a twit.  In case you didn’t already know that is her house not Sutton’s.  How dare she suggest Crystals bag should go in a separate car when she’s wearing that stupid polkadot froufrou dress with bra out the back.

I just wrote a long rant… now I’ve got that off my chest I have erased it. I was rather harsh about people who use language in a pretentious way.

Rinna and her stupid BJ comment,

she thinks she is just so funny. I would have loved to see her stick that fire hose down her thirsty throat and for "Harry Hamlin" to tell her to stick his "small 🥔's" into her dried up air fryer. Does this woman even eat even a french fry every few months?

From what I’ve seen of the inside of Rinna’s house it is not good either.

Hmmmmm.

I quite liked that dress.  Interesting that Kyle wore it with what looked like a bra strap showing—only it had a buckle?  Very weird—while Rinna wore it barebacked.  It looked better on Rinna.

I loved the way Sutton decorated the house she's renting from Kyle, too.

And the Hermes bag!  And the Bentleys.  And the garden(s) at Chez Hamlin-Rinna.  (I went to UC Berkeley with Harry Hamlin.  It's quite possible he does his own gardening.) And Garcelle's tasteless joke.

What I didn't like were Kyle's breasts in that leopard thing she was wearing for her confessionals.  They really jolted me.  Like someone had Photoshopped Kyle's head on to some rando porn star's body.

I just read Brian Moylan's Housewives book, so was watching Crystal from the perspective of Housewifely Developmental Psychology—let's see:  First, she was overly aggressive, then she had a meltdown over nothing, now she is oversharing...  It'll take her a year to find her Housewife Groove.

Well.  It could have been a passionate love match when it first happened.

I mean—here's what they looked like early on in their relationship.  (I've never tried to upload a photo here before!  Fingers crossed it works.)

He has that vigerous look to him.  She's almost unrecognizeable.  

If I'm remembering correctly, her father walked out on her when she was one year old, so, you know.  Daddy issues.

I detest dog dumper Dorit, but was so on her side in the Kyle fight. Being "friends" with Kyle would be exhausting. No wonder morally bankrupt Faye Resnisck is her BFF.  I liked Crystal again last night overall, so leaving her in the "undecided" lane for now.  Putting Sutton back there too, because she seems at least self aware enough to realize she overreacted In Tahoe and is trying to do better. The 4 veteran witches on this show couldn't come up with an ounce of self awareness between them, much less admit they behaved badly, if their lives depended on it. Overall, last night was boring, they better deliver some Erika dirt because that is totally the main reason people are watching.

Boy, I'd say she looked a lot better before the surgery and without the makeup.  😊

But, of course, that was 20-whatever years ago, so okay:  Maybe some makeup.  😊

I really HATE that Kyle keeps referring to Sutton's house as HER house.  YES, we know she's renting it from you.  YES we also know she's PAYING you $25k a month for it.  Just STFU and let the woman have the dignity of having her own post-divorce place.  Jesus Kyle, you're exhausting.  Oh and Rinna wore it better....way better, you're too short for all that puffery and pattern. 

300k a year to live in "Kyle's" house lord baby Jesus... this woman is spending close to a million this year alone on the rental and car and parties not to mention whatever she pays for her "couture" ... No wonder so many file for bankruptcy that's fucking ridiculous

I always thought the best part of Rinna's house was always the backyard. The house itself was ok-ish...not huge like some of the other BH homes but still cozy. Keeping it clean and well maintained shouldn't be that hard.

That’s what some of the Uber-rich pay for an apartment in New York. For the extremely wealthy that is not out of line at all. 

Her settlement must have been huge and invested wisely the income could be enough to pay those bills.

The super wealthy are different than us. That’s why we watch the Housewives. Not for lectures and teachable moments.
