Does anyone else watch Real Housewives?
I often get sucked in while putting Frisco to sleep. (The TV is the only thing that keeps me from falling asleep myself.) It's a tacky show but it's hard not to watch in a train-wreck sort of way.
Whatever happened to the still beating heart of a virgin? No one has any standards anymore.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Well, the first one was Real Housewives of Orange County, which started soon after the show The OC did, so they were "real" in the sense of "not actors."

The status is NOT quo.
I am definitely sick with Drew's F2F cold. Sleep aids did nsm aid, and now I feel like death warmed over. Must perk up for brunch with uncle and then plan to slounge around in bed all day.

It's also a play on "Desperate Housewives"

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Like I said, I might just be cranky.
I will say that I *loved* the RH of Atlanta. They seemed more real to me than any other group.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

I must confess that, not having seen the show, the title had made me assume that it was a docusoap type show about real people from the same rich-bitch social background as the characters on Desperate Housewives, rather than a show about typical, or normal housewives.

It is and I'm sure that reasonable, rational, intelligent people (such as Buffistas) know that it's not really honest true housewives, but I'm cranky and have chosen this as my thing today.
Down with rich housewives! A pox on their Prada!

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I think a lot of shows give a distorted picture of what "real" life is. I mean, how many of them show people having to actually work at a job (not something exciting, but the boring kind most of us have), deal with finances, cope with commutes, deal with children who have meltdowns and aren't constantly spouting off sassy one-liners, etc.? Going by a lot of them, you either have an exciting job with life-or-death situations all the time or an office where you wander in and schmooze, with an occasional gesture to work. That job pays enough that you can live in a nice place with spiffy furniture and, when your friends drop by, you always have food and drink handy. grr
