Pic Of The Day - 07.08.15 - Slap!

I love Carole Radziwill. And, I can just hear her saying this to someone and really meaning it!

Pic(s) Of The Day - 04.07.15 - They're Baaaaack!

I would have taken a picture of the show while it was on the telly but those normally turn out kind of warped so instead, I captured this photos which summarizes what I did on Tuesday evening.

I nestled in The Calvinator's Crib and watched Real Housewives of New York. This is the only show of the franchise that I watch. At one point I was watching the Atlanta show but I kind of got turned off when the hair pulling started.

To that point you might ask, "Didn't Aviva's leg toss bother you?" and to that I would answer, "No, because she is an attention whore and watching the Countesses reaction made it even better AND she did it at Le Cirque!"

So...I love me some Carole Radziwill and I really appreciate the Countess. Ramona, eh. Sonja, ugh. Heather I like she has street cred. Kristin, eh. Dorinda, I might like (but why does she need a housekeeper for such a small apartment and where does her daughter sleep?. I'm not real thrilled to see the return of Bethenny. How many shows is this girl going to be on? She's like the bad penny that keeps showing up. And seriously, when she was whining about being homeless all I could think of was "Rich People Problems".

There's Team Bethenny and there's Team Jason and I'm on his side. She may have had the concept but who helped her negotiate the contracts? And who was her cheerleader? So yes, the shoe is on the other foot and this time it is the wife who made the millions with the support of the husband. As I like to say, "That knife cuts both ways."

I guess I'll have to wait to see if Bethenny whines for a whole season? And will Sonja try to one-up with her own set of problems. It's going to be a bumpy ride.

(not the) Pic Of The Day - 07.22.14 - Le Leg, Le Cirque

I can't let the day end without commenting about last night's episode of The Real Housewives of New York City.  It was by far one of the funniest episodes ever.

I found it funny that Team Sonja consists of a psychic, a gossipy massage therapist and an entourage of people that we really don't know what they do but hey, they're Team Sonja.

I also find it funny that Aviva: 1) Carried around her x-rays (with her name on them); 2) She handed out her doctor's business cards for the women to call and verify that she has asthma...uh, it's called HIPPA; and 3) The leg being put on the table.

OK.  I've never been to Le Cirque in New York but I have been to Le Cirque in Las Vegas and they have high standards.  Taking off your leg and putting it on the table and then picking it up and throwing it probably isn't their good public decorum rules for the restaurant.  Granted, Team Sonja et al were in a private dining room but still, whatever happened to good manners?  I was just waiting for Countess LuAnn to say, "Money can't buy you class."

All of this reminds me of a postcard that I have somewhere in a box in my kitchen that has the saying, "In my family, homosexuality, schizophrenia, and alcoholism were a small price to pay for good manners and good public decorum."  Trust me, no one in my would be taking off their leg and throwing it.  This makes the table flipping and wig pulling look like an everyday occurrence.

Carole Radziwill said it best, "It ain't over 'til the fat lady sings . . or the crazy bitch throws her leg."

Pic Of The Day - 07.01.14 - Tuesday Night Pleasure

My Tuesday night pleasure is watching The Real Housewives Of New York City.  And...my favorite housewife is Carole Radziwill.  If she lived in Houston, we'd be best buds!  I can't afford to live in NYC so she would have to move here.
