I am sort of glad to see fanny packs are making a comeback, they are practical even though they frequently need socks and sandals to complete the look.

What!  There is nothing wrong with socks and sandals!  It's called LAYERING people.

That doesn’t make the other person feel better. It makes the other person feel less understood and respected.

I’ve said before, that’s no apology.

7 minutes ago, Mrs peel said:

I view that "apology" as the person doesn't really think they need to apologize for anything, but for the sake of the friendship/whatever, wants to make the other person feel better.  So, I still believe what I said, but I am actually sorry you took it badly.  Yeah, not an apology, but the best you can do under those circumstances since at least you're acknowledging the other person feels differently.

[SunnyBeBe]

I"m late to the party. Can someone please tell why Erika went off on Teddy at the table? I came in when she was laying her low, telling her NOT to do that to her and repeatedly saying it.  Teddy looked stunned and just nodded like ok.......What had Teddy said.  You can PM if you like. Tks.

Did she seriously say she doesn't wear wigs??? Oh, she is so full of shit. I thought she was Teddi when she came to lunch, before she spoke. That long hair ain't hers. Or the short hair isn't. 

Dorit said she wears extensions-never wigs.  She didn't deny using extra hair.  I get the impression she clips something on to her noggin and as long as some of her hair shows it isn't a wig.

I've been writing this in a million different threads for years now, but yet again, I feel we need to have a discussion about apologies. How to give, receive, and what's expected afterward. This episode demonstrated that the concept is lost on these women in all aspects.

1. When someone apologies - doesn't matter if it's in a written letter, an e-mail, a text, on the phone, in person, in private, in public, via skywriting, or an edible arrangement basket - if "I'm sorry" has been given, that's the apology. You have two choices. Accept and move forward, or acknowledge its existence but tell the person you can't move past it. You DO NOT get to ask for a better apology, a second apology, a different apology, etc. You also don't get to keep bringing up the issue that's been killed through the apology.

 

 I  have to disagree. I'm sorry, followed by the  word YOU is not an apology IE, "I'm sorry you were upset."  An apology should be left with just "I'm sorry" with no qualifications, or,  be followed by a first person  pronoun as in "I'm sorry that  "I" upset you." The former takes no responsibility for the actions which caused offense, the latter does.

Portia and her friend run to where Kyle and Rebecca are.

Kyle gushes that Portia has been bothering her for months because Portia has been dying to ask Rebecca questions.

Rebecca says I have a client who is 4 years old. So your kids are not my youngest clients. Who is going to break it to Rebecca that only one of those girls was birthed by Kyle?

WHY DOES KYLE DRESS LIKE MRS ROPER ? 

 

She was probably wearing clip in extensions at lunch. I find it hard to believe she never wears wigs though!

She wears wigs. I saw her wig cap clearly at the Teddi Spa Day event.

It was when they had their private talk on the outside sofa.

I also saw the pony tail sticking out of her wig cap at the Kyle store event.

I'm just mad that Erika is "hosting" the big trip of the season.  That means we'll be subjected to all her Erika Jayne glam squad scenes and crappy performance.  There's no getting away from it if she's hosting the trip.  That alone is gonna make this entire season suck ass.

[nexxie]

Just making my way through the thread, so I’m not sure if it’s been mentioned - a caller to WWHL asked Erika whatever happened to the Erika Girardi of her first season, why is it always Erika Jayne now. Great question!

She answered with nonsensical bullshit.

So, Erika jokingly says she's going to give a BJ to all of the husbands, but heaven forbid whenever she wears a dress without underwear and someone gets a  looky-loo at said puss, well, pearls are suddenly clutched and it becomes a huge shit storm.  This is what I'm referring to when I say that I don't understand her.

RHOBH scene:

Rebecca: And there's also the name Frannie in here or Francis

Rinna: Well Francis would maybe be my dad, I mean...

Rebecca: Oh, his name is Francis

Rinna: Well it's Frank, but Francis is what they called him.

Rebecca: He's right here next to us. (pat corner of the table)

Rinna: Oh My God!

Rebecca: He wants to be acknowledged. He's shouting it out to me. He's a little pushy here

Rinna: Hi Dad!

Rebecca: He's adamant to get here for you Lisa. He loves to come sit in the room by the big window and he always talks to you. He's very strong.

KFB: He wants to be acknowledged. He's shouting it out to me. He's a little pushy here

Rinna: Hi Dad!

KFB: He's adamant to get here for you Lisa. He's shouting and pointing to some sort of seating by a bay window...like maybe a kitchen nook? Yes, he's pointing and wants you to know that the rat family is nesting under the wooden bench. Call the exterminator!

Apparently she spends 40K a month on her makeup/hair & wardrobe... which is 39900 too much cause she still looks like shit. Why would you even mention what is spent, especially when most people barely make that in a year and have to purchase food, housing and necessity clothing, not some poorly bedazzled overpriced track suits. clown makeup and goul squad.

I was trying to figure out that accent/affect Erika was using during the GC interview. It seemed to come out of nowhere, I don’t think I’ve heard her speak that way before. It was very bizarre and actually off-putting, bordering on offensive IMO.

Then again I thought tearful Teddi saying Erika shouldn't speak if she didn't remember.  Didn't Teddi ask her a question.

More stupid fights:  Meghan McCain vs. Teddi  https://pagesix.com/2018/03/21/meghan-mccain-if-teddi-wants-to-catfight-lets-f-king-catfight/  I tend to agree these women need to stop with the empowerment chatter.  Just who does this Meghan McCain think she is?  ;-)

[WordsWordsWords]

I'm finally watching this, and, of course, I have a few things to say.

Dorit. Lord help me, I'm starting with Dorit again. Yes, Miss Lady of the Manor, a person can apologise by frellin' phone. You'd know this if you'd ever offered an actual apology. Dorit's elaborate eye-rolls and shrugs are going to bite her when these episodes air. Does she think she's taking these calls in private? Is she that unaware? Or does she think she's just that cute? She's not.  Bless her, she thinks letting someone else design some swimwear is like being pregnant and giving birth? Oh, puh-lease. The only thing worse than Dorit's jaw drop face is her loud, obnoxious GASP!

Erika. No, honey, you don't empower women. And your Mikey is a creep. To me, frankly, an empowering woman is Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Sally Ride, all the women who have worked in NASA, all the women I work with as an editor. Not someone who trades on flashy sexuality. "Stay out of the drama." Have you met yourself? And you think it's too hard to be friends with Teddi -- I rather think it'd be too hard to be friends with you. But that's just me, maybe. You can claim "it's not cold, it's diamonds" all you want to, but you're just icy.

LVP. One thing we all know about LisaV and Ken is that they love animals in general and their animals in particular. Their grief over Pink Dog was so real I cried along with them. (One thing I like about this iteration of the Howives in general is that they have pets and are shown interacting with them. These pets are members of the family, not decorative objects.)

LisaR. I've always kinda liked her. I like her mother, too. I hope I have that much energy in a few years when I hit 89.

Psychics. I've spoken with two in my life. One told me, right out of the blue, first words out of his mouth without any hint from me a totally true thing about me which he couldn't possibly have known. The rest of the things he had to say weren't nearly as accurate, however. The second one, bless her heart. told me a load of codswallop which was completely inaccurate -- and insulting to boot.

[RedheadZombie]

Brown urine means your kidneys are working well?  Where do they find these ignorant morons?  Go to a different vet!

Kimora lee Simmons and Tyra Banks are "new young cool edgy girls"?  They're in their 40's, Mikey, and while there's no shame in that age group, they're hardly cool, young, new, or edgy.

Okay, I'm stuck on all of the bullshit with the psychic. I'm glad that LVP and Teddi at least made it clear that they weren't buying what this charlatan is trying to sell. It makes me sad that Kyle wastes her money but I guess there's no harm in it if it makes her feel better about her mother's death.

Still, giving this lady a platform on this show is making it seem like she's okay or somehow legit. I'm uncomfortable with the idea of people spending money on something so bogus and being taken in by scam artists like Rebecca because they see affluent people who seem to think that they are the real deal. 

Dorit at least seemed skeptical so I'll give her credit for that. How is though that the majority of the women seemed to be in awe of this fake faker? How was it not painfully obvious that she was just throwing things out there and waiting for someone to take the bait? 

I love that LisaV called her out a couple of times. She wasn't rude about it, she just made it clear that her claims about having a direct line to heaven sound completely ridiculous. (Btw, does this lady only have a direct line to heaven or is she able to take calls from hell too? I admit, I wish someone had asked.)

It reminds me of Dolly Parton always joking that it takes a lot of money to look this cheap. At least Dolly has a sense of humor about her style and doesn't behave as though her fashion choices are what give her depth as a person. 

Meanwhile Erika is happy to say that women who wear flat shoes are "quitters" in her book. I work 55 to 60 hours every week on my feet, in flats, so I'm no quitter, lady. Gah, of all the comments she's made lately that one really rankles. So much for lifting up other women.

YES! It's like the whole panty-gate thing. Kyle and LVP were goofing around about underwear and LVP joking asked to borrow a pair. Instead of playing along, she sucks all of the air out of the room by declaring that she isn't wearing any. Or, like when PK and Dorit were making fun of how old LVP was and Dorit said something about British humor. Erika, sucks all of the air out of the conversation by declaring that Dorit is an American from Connecticut (Did she think Dorit didn't know where she was from?). Or, when Dorit was complimenting Erika and talking about how women come into their own once they hit their 40's - Erika blurts out "you just turned 40." 

Or, when Eileen tries to get everyone to calm down and stop attacking Dorit all at once by saying "It's not like she killed your child"... and we all know how that went. Erika is the Beverly Hills version of Kelly Bensimon from NY. If the group conversation is not about how awesome she is, she will do what she needs to to bring it back to her even if it makes everyone else completely uncomfortable.

According to the clip Teddi has doubts about her apology citing over the phone and perhaps it lacked sincerity.  She also feels pretty comfortable she can smooth things over with Dorit.  I am thinking if Teddi questioned her apology there might be something to it being half assed.

[MatildaMoody]

I hope I am posting this in the correct thread. I love to read recaps of this particular show. I was so disappointed when Previously.TV stopped recapping this show. But, I got over it. The ones that I read now (in order) are:

• Vulture (Usually my favorite -  but there is bias because of the Erika Jayne book connection)
• RealityTea (Love the recaps but don't read the comments because they are way too mean)
• TrashTalkTV (I used to write for them and I just can't quit them)
• Tamara Tattles (not my favorite because spelling and grammar is important)

So far three of the recaps have been posted. Of those three, the two that actually recapped the death of LVP and Ken's dog (Vulture and RealityTea) have been very flip about it. Or, they have described it as LVP begging for sympathy. Is that a thing now? I'm not a dog person, but I was inconsolable for weeks after my first ever cat died. Is it weird that I think that Vulture and RealityTea's recappers were especially callous when describing Ken and LVP's reactions to losing a member of their pet family? Or, am I just being extra sensitive? I honestly can't tell. I was honestly in tears watching their reactions, but I have weird emotional reactions to pets in general, so I don't know if I am  taking it all too seriously.

 JMO, this indicates to me that Teddi has some degree of self awareness.

I can't believe I am starting to defend Teddi!

Also, her blog shows me that she is learning the RH strategies. Teddi is brighter than I originally thought.

First.  A hug  for you MatildaMoody.  I cry every time Pippet the lab doesn't come out of the water in Jaws right before the kid on the raft dies.  I know the dogs name.  I do not know the kids name.  Mmmmm hmm.

Second.  You are not overly sensitive. YOU have been blessed with the love of a pet (because some people love snakes, not me, but....).  Unconditional love.

People who are flippant about the death of a non human family member have never experienced that joy and blessing.

Feel bothered.  But don't feel bothered about you.  Feel bothered for those people who have lacked that particular kind of love.

Because no dog has EVER greeted me with, "What's for dinner?".  But EVERY dog has met me at the door with a tail wagging and "OH MY GOD YOU ARE FINALLY HOME AND I'VE MISSED YOU SO MUCH. HERE LET ME LICK YOU AND RUB UP AGAINST YOU.  AND OH BOY I'M GLAD YOU'RE HOME!"

Those people are totally missing out.  Or they dislike LVP so much that they refuse to see she is human.  And not just the Queen.

The psychic reminded me of the John Lovitz SNL character - Yeah yeah yeah that's the ticket!

Rebecca to Teddi: Do you have a patio or deck area?

Teddi: Yes at my beach house

Rebecca: Yeah, she likes to hang out there looking at the ocean.

I was SO bummed Teddi fed her any info. I would have loved to see her stick with “yes” or “no” and make that charlatan work for her bullshit.

 

But, YOU GUYS! I bridged the gap between the present and the future with technology! Papa God doesn’t call me to tell me about the presence of the spirit of someone whose name starts with J or M: he updates me directly in writing about the future, right on my phone’s home screen.

He sends me little pop-up messages all day long about all of the important things that are going to happen in the world that day, and I KNOW it’s Papa God contacting me about the future, accurately, because they tell, like, totally the same stuff on TV, but not for three or even nine hours later. Like, just today, he told me all sorts of stuff at 4:00 about what Mark Zuckerberg was gonna say about how he sold our Internet spirits to Russian bots, or maybe something that starts with an F, and almost two hours later, it happened on TV!

My pet name for Papa God is “News,” though, ‘cause that’s the name he puts on the alerts he sends me. I think he likes it better because he’s telling me something “new” that the rest of the world that hasn’t bridged that future gap won’t know until the end of the day. 

It’s kind of annoying that a lot of times, he doesn’t give me a way to respond to him, but when he does, Papa God likes me to use our other cute name, “Comment.” And when he leaves that line open to him, a lot of spirits often respond, too! But (sssshhhh) I think we actually bridge the gap between present earth, heaven, and HELL, because a lot of the spirits say things that no one from heaven would EVER say. (I think he let a poor demon spirit that died as a child even use the U.S. president’s name to communicate through the hell-technology bridge!). 

I used to think that Papa God should filter some of those demon spirits’ responses to me, but I guess that, when you have a gift like mine, it’s just hard to keep all the spirits from congregating All Around Me, just like Rebecca has Marilyn Monroe and John Lennon and Teddi’s friend from elementary school with her, rather than their chilling near their loved ones or anyone else who is seeing a psychic and needs someone whose name begins with an M or a J or some acquaintance who died young. Papa God News Comments can be sooooo silly sometimes!

But maybe if I had more rooms in my apartment, or my own party planner to set my table-that-could-fit-four-if-we-squeezed-in-and-skimped-on-the-superfluous-crystals, he’d also send me reincarnated spirits in person, like that of a kidnapped Spanish prince who chose to come back as a deeply superficial woman who needs an entourage because he never had anyone to do his hair and make-up or kiss his ass at the bottom of the ship until that knight came around but then he got killed and reincarnated as a grown man named Mikey, or an American chick from the tri-state area who reincarnated herself as a Britishish killjoy who gives birth to thong bikini collections (and also needs HER OWN entourage because she can totally create her swim line but, when she was just a lowly peon from Connecticut, she couldn’t glue shit on her head herself).

That dear, sweet Papa God, I never realized how thoughtful he was, keeping the spirits confined to my phone, because it would be way too crowded in here for anyone more than me and my cat and maaaaaaybe a solo-riding spirit, and there wouldn't even be room for any spirits or their ego squads to pass each other in what alleges to be a full-sized kitchen in this dump (if I were a spirit, I’d go stay in one of those closets in Beverly Hills, too, since they’re roomier); if they showed up here, I’d have to return my Givenchy china I store in my oven just to find a place to stash Dorit.

 

PS: Papa God just let me know that five more people replied here, before I could even see their replies. I bet at least one of them comes from a Username that starts with M!

I hope I am posting this in the correct thread. I love to read recaps of this particular show. I was so disappointed when Previously.TV stopped recapping this show. But, I got over it. The ones that I read now (in order) are:

• Vulture (Usually my favorite -  but there is bias because of the Erika Jayne book connection)
• RealityTea (Love the recaps but don't read the comments because they are way too mean)
• TrashTalkTV (I used to write for them and I just can't quit them)
• Tamara Tattles (not my favorite because spelling and grammar is important)

So far three of the recaps have been posted. Of those three, the two that actually recapped the death of LVP and Ken's dog (Vulture and RealityTea) have been very flip about it. Or, they have described it as LVP begging for sympathy. Is that a thing now? I'm not a dog person, but I was inconsolable for weeks after my first ever cat died. Is it weird that I think that Vulture and RealityTea's recappers were especially callous when describing Ken and LVP's reactions to losing a member of their pet family? Or, am I just being extra sensitive? I honestly can't tell. I was honestly in tears watching their reactions, but I have weird emotional reactions to pets in general, so I don't know if I am  taking it all too seriously.

Thanks for posting this. I only read the Vulture recap, and he went on and on sort of ripping on them about the name of the dog, Lisa demanding sympathy, etc. It was not what I took away from the episode at all. I took away people who loved their pet dearly and were devastated when it was taken from them. When my dog died (and when my cat dies I will be the same, I am sure) I was a mess for quite a while. It took a long, long time for me to be able to talk about him without crying. He's still my screensaver, but he makes me smile now when I see him. As far as this episode goes, I cried, too, watching Ken and Lisa. It brought it all back for me. You have this pet that loves you unconditionally and is part of your life every day for years. I really hated that part of the Vulture recap, to be honest. It was incredibly insensitive.

spelling. ugh

If ErICKa said she would blow my husband, I'd smack her upside her empty head! That was absolutely disrespectful. What a nasty witch!

I just can't take Ken being so sad. He and Lisa broke my heart. Ericka is  her usual assy self in her reaction to the news. 

I wonder if Vulture bring nasty over Pink Dog's passing has to do with Moylan being firmly in ErICKa's camp. How horrible!

My dogs act like that even if I'm outside for 90 seconds to take out the trash.  I've tricked them before by coming in the back door instead of coming back in the front door and one of them sat with her nose under the front door for a good 30 minutes waiting for me.  Now I'm worried that that's what she does whenever I'm gone no matter how long.  I know when I go out of town and leave her with a sitter or in boarding she spends the entire time staring at the door/through the fence/whatever looking for me.   

 

I avoid most of the recaps like a plague because it seems like in general they are too mean.  There's being snarky and then there's being mean and most of them tend to veer towards mean.  I especially find Brian Moylan to be an unfunny asshole that could possibly be funny but he doesn't know when to quit and takes it too far.  I know I'm a party of one on that.
