It reminds me of when an actor in a movie is supposed to convey a general sense of fancy or pompous or worldly or something, but without any real details as to that character's actual origin.

Most women who dye their hair blond are not going through the process as often as needed to not have black roots, because if you did you'd lose more of your natural hair from the chemical stripping process. Hair growth is constant so even after a week or two - those roots are coming in - and no one dyes their hair every week.

Wigs such as toppers in blond - have the dark roots as they are meant to fall over and blend with your real hair/part. It is also more natural looking to your scalp so that the cap isn't obvious. A flesh colored cap is easier to detect

 

Aren’t dark roots why highlights were invented?

I think it started 10-20 years ago with some lazy stars who made it fashionable to have dark roots; Heather Locklear at the top of the list! I bleached my hair for a good 5 years and it's taken it's toll; esp. where I placed my ponytail! I was going every 2-3 weeks to keep it up! It's been devastating to my hairline! lol! ;-)

Yes but the damage done by excessive dying especially a natural brunette to blond can be extreme. I've never dyed my hair blond but from my friends that have - they have to strip your hair first so that the blond can "take". The process thins your hair and over time the hair is brittle. It breaks off, lots of bald spots, and receding hair lines.

[zoeysmom]

Look at the wigs on RHOA-all dark rooted blonde wigs.  I don't get it I think it is a trend like ombre.  Erika doesn't do it-thank you, but it is a trend.  RHOC, the original bleached blondes don't do it. Dorit's Dutch Boy wig was way too severe.  The only two with somewhat natural hair are Kyle and Rinna and now Rinna is sporting extensions.  I believe the extensions flattered Rinna as the detracted from her over blown lips.   Last season Kyle cut her hair and put highlights in and she said it damaged her hair.

Teddi is new.  Next time she will text,  "Hi Dorit.  I just parked my car at the restaurant"

Two minutes later... "Hi Dorit,  i just sat down at the restaurant where we agreed to meet at 4pm PST. Sorry to be late.  It is now 4:02pm. PST"

 

Damn,  just realized Teddi was the one who was late.

It is hard because her “accent” is all over the place!  I do some accent modification for fun and I live in Dubai so I’m around people from all over the world. I work with Brits and it isn’t a British accent. It also seems to have changed between last season and this season (of course, I’m remembering last season off of memory so I should find a video clip to confirm).  Now it is really just weird stress patterns, elongations, and distorted vowels.  The main thing to get down those is to be a coked up, heinous witch.  She is truly awful this season and I didn’t like her last season!

That's all I thought it was last year!

That's what Charmian Carr said the kids in The Sound of Music were taught (in her book Forever Leisl):

"Pamela Danova was responsible for teaching us what she called a mid-Atlantic accent.  Though we were playing Austrians, we were to speak in a cross between a British accent and an American one.  We had to sound educated and aristocratic.  I made careful notes on my copy of the script, notes that are still there in the margins and among the lines of dialogue.  'Father' was to be pronounced "Fatha'.  'France' became 'Frahnce'"

I guess it's harder for Dorit without coaching and script notes :D

[Shopgirl406]

If Dorit wants to be British so very badly she needs to take an lesson from The Queen. During a palace dinner a visiting foreigner drank from the finger bowl. Eyes went to The Queen to see what she would do. She reached for her finger bowl and drank from hers. That's is graciousness.

I heard the story was at the Russian court and a well decorated and successful general who had come from simple origins mistakenly drank from the finger bowl. Everyone looked at the czar expecting him to ridicule the rough general. The czar, without a word, picked up his finger bowl and drank from it. All the courtiers followed suit.
I think your story and mine are made up.

Dorit looked like a mental patient from an old movie with that haircut/wig     The bob was way too short    

 

I don’t like the way Teddy waves her hands around when she talks in her talking heads    And she has some kind of clenched mouth/thick body builder neck thing going on that annoys me, but damn if her body didn’t look awesome in that white gauzy two piece outfit she wore to her party      Wtf pants did Camille show up in?   They were terrible

Yes. I have been trying to figure out what it is about her interviews that is so distracting to me. It is the way she moves her hands. She has a lovely body, and I think she is really pretty, but something about the way she moves her hands and her shoulders distracts me tremendously.

I don't know if it's her hands or the way she moves them, but her talking heads always remind me of the Man Hands episode of Seinfeld.  They have a kind of "meatiness" about them, imo.

I've said this in previous threads, but Teddi's hand gestured remind me very much of Kate Gosselin. It makes it hard for me to watch her, even though I don't dislike her. 

[bravofan27]

So Kylie. She said in her talking head re Dorit, "There is Dorit on her own and Dorit with a couple of shots of tequila in her. It's like her talkative evil twin." But then when Camille references Dorit's drinking that night, Kyle said she would never talk about someone's drinking. But she totally did! Super casually. She's sooooo phoney sometimes. 

Teddi looks like her dad likes to buy real estate. I read somewhere that her current home is owned through a trust she's associated with. http://variety.com/2018/dirt/real-estalker/john-mellencamp-live-work-lower-manhattan-1202667534/

Word to above about Kyle's double-talk. I get that substance abuse is a painful topic to talk about, especially when it strikes close to home. I know because it's happened in my own family. However, there is a huge difference between making an honest statement that somebody had too much to drink vs. saying something directly about specific person's drinking/drug problem, behavior, etc. to either them or a close friend or family member. Camille* just made an honest and accurate statement about Dorit's behavior at Kyle's dinner party. For Kyle to then joke about Dorit's drinking after the fact is hypocritical. I know that the THs are filmed out of sequence. Also, was Kyle serious when she naively said that Dorit had "a lot energy?" She, of all people, should recognize that it wasn't drinking rose' from a champagne glass that had Dor-twit so wound up. That bird was about to spin off her axis. I am not going to speculate what she'd taken because I have no idea.

*I wasn't watching during the years that Camille was on but is she always that mellow? I thought she was way to easy on Dor-twit.  That wasn't even an apology. It was just a bunch of double-talk, fake amnesia and deflection.

I don't necessarily dislike PK based on his looks. It's the whole package -- manners, pompous behavior, pretentiousness, overly involved in his wife's social life, etc.  I can't believe he has a twin. Dear God ...

I am tired of late-gate and not sure if I'm liking Teddy or not. It's too bad that Andy can't do some show-swapping because I think a Teddy and Tinsley (from RHoNYC) would be a good swap. I'd also love for Drunk Dorinda to drop in at one of the dinner parties and lay out Dorit. Dorit wouldn't know what hit her and I can see her blinking and hear her stammering. Luann and LVP can size each other up all evening without exchanging a single word.

Always thinking of on-camera PR, Harry idly ponders whether his girls are safe on their own in NYC. But is apparently footing the bill. Lisa cools her mania long enough to acknowledge Harry's concerns, then rushes pell mell into "they're adults, what are you gonna do, it's life" and so on. If she had to row a boat across the desert to get the girls in front of agents and a TV, she'd do it. They should require that the girls attend college and get decent grades in exchange for footing the bill.

Kyle is constantly sending mixed messages about her mother. One moment wistfully remembering old times, another moment reminding us that she had a Mommie Dearest Lite. She's trying to re-write history with her TV shows.

It's weird that Dorit's behavior is making PK look good.

Erika is annoyed she's having to slow down in her shopping and hanging with her glam squad long enough to peek in on her injured hubby.

Thank you.

What type of meds are issued for OCD?  100% serious -- a few years ago, there was a huge rise in ADD diagnoses, the meds for which are often effective in suppressing the appetite.

Is there a reliable source on this?  The only thing I've seen regarding actual illegal activities is a website that looked like it was made by a conspiracy theory wackjob.  Normally I'm into that sort of thing -- I spent days reading about the Denver airport, but instead of being awesome it was a shitty Power Point presentation full of unsubstantiated rants.  It is a fact that PK filed for bankruptcy and his company went under partially because he thought Lehman Brothers wouldn't fail, but I think a lot of people were in the same boat and it isn't illegal. 

It seems like on these boards his main sins are being overweight, not conventionally attractive, and talking some shit about Erika.  If that's all it takes to be heinous and a terrible person who is irredeemably ugly inside and out then I think a lot of people would qualify.
