As someone who’s always been cautious and risk-averse (apparently since birth — my mom said I took my sweet time to hit my developmental milestones), I marvel at people like Simone Biles who can get into the headspace to even attempt this stuff, much less accomplish it so brilliantly.

This is tough for me. I’m an adoptee, from one of her orphanages. So, this idea of her as a saint was a huge foundational belief throughout my childhood/teenage years. My parents still lay my survival (abandoned at a MofC chapter house in Western India) squarely at her feet.

Yes. Back in 1988, Julissa Gomez had a horrific accident while attempting a Yurchenko vault, and was instantly rendered quadriplegic. (Women’s gymnastics subsequently made some crucial changes for safety reasons, including the addition of a U-shaped mat and replacing the traditional horse with the bigger vaulting…

I’d be less worried about her life and more worried about paralysis, horrible compound fractures, etc.  

All of these people are unrecognizable from their first seasons! I haven’t watched Bravo in years and I didn’t know that was Dorit. Eventually they all look like the Madam Tussaud version of themselves.

100% Would love to see the Westwood brand come out and publicly state that it’s a fake and Dorit squirm.

You’re totally correct.

The Real Housewives haven’t worn their own clothes in years. They all have stylists who bring in racks and racks of clothing for them to borrow for the show. Dorit probably owns 5% of what she wears. That corset, if real, would be loaned. And I am highly doubtful it’s real by the cut alone, never mind the intense…

No. That corset does not belong on someone that....IDK, basic? but with money? There’s gotta be someone with the style to pull it off and the cash to buy it.

Oh, Joan.  I’m sure Dorit’s corset is as real as her face.

I guess I’ll just never understand the mindset by people worth this much continuing to work? Like, isn’t the point to just be able to take your money and chill forever after? If I had a financial advisor tell me “congrats, you’re worth $1billion!” (or even, like, a minute fraction of that) I’d be like okaaaay byeeeee—I…

TWO drinks a night? Someone call the Temperance League, I can’t unclutch my pearls.

I don’t really remember the show at all (other than it was way better than the Trump version because Martha is amazing), but I do vividly remember her seeing her audition video for the show on youtube or something, which was her explaining how to make peanut butter toast. 

I’m so excited about LaVar Burton hosting Jeopardy! I hope he becomes the permanent host, and I finally get on Jeopardy to meet him. I’ll have to come up with a different Jeopardy story though, something about books.

I am ready to be thrown into a pit of fire, but I like Bethenny? She not only made a ton of money, but she donates a ton too. I think she is respectable on that front.

It’s not even part of the show or its description; that’s all Jezebel’s addition

Does nobody but me remember that before Real Housewives, she was a contestant The Apprentice: Martha Stewart edition?  Just me? Cool, cool, cool. 

Wonder if Sonja will be on there trying to sell her toaster ovens.

Paris Hilton’s Pivot to NFT Influencer

My partner asked “what’s new?” the other day and my immediate thought was “you have been with me all goddamn week, there is nothing new!”... I need a lot of solo time and he prefers my place to his, so he basically lives here. I like having him around, but damn do I love the nights he spends at his own damn apartment.
