I have no doubt that the opioid crisis is real and terrifying, but is this “fixing the opioid crisis” the new “sent to the cornfield”? Is this the new political wilderness? Granted, Jared’s been tasked with it as well when he’s not “fixing the Middle East” or selling diamonds in a mall, but still...

They are the handwash-only plastic mug with the company logo.
Great article! I commented earlier that this book is in the grand tradition of books that are written and sold exclusively for corporate HR and sales managers to distribute to their staff as part of some kind of mandatory seminar. No one reads them, no one opens them, they’re basically props.
You’re right, I forgot about the great Skinnygirl logo fiasco! I have to retch Season 1. I used to love RHONY so much but every season it just seems to get duller and duller. They’re still nut jobs, just not in an interesting or entertaining way.
From what I remember she worked in graphic design in relation to marketing, branding materials. I remember an episode where Bethenny took her up on an offer to design the Skinnygirl logo. Bethenny ended up scrapping it and going with another without telling Alex until the new logo was already in production. I…
It never fails to confuse me when they do/say things on camera and then either deny it or avoid copping to it. Dude, you’re on film! Same when one party claims “I told you that in confidence!” but they did it with a hot mic on.
Except that the very first time we see Alex is gojng to the Met Opera in superfancy dress. The couple stands alone in the lobby, because it is obvious they are not part of that crowd. Rather ominous beginning.
My grandmother used to practically bathe in something called Tabu. The name used to crack me up, the smell not so much.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That would actually be a really good explanation for why she couldn’t come up with a more convincing explanation than “I made a rash decision.” They never break the 4th wall on this show and acknowledge that there’s external intervention. And the more I watch Andy Cohen, the more sure I am…
But look at her forehead. Look in the mirror and raise your eyebrows like that. How many lines pop up on your forehead? At least one or two? They all need to take a break.
TBH, I’m surprised there haven’t been more complete breakdowns from cast members like with Kelly on Scary Island. (Looking at you and counting the minutes, Kelly Dodd...). Production can be merciless in the pursuit of stirring up drama, including depriving sleep, water and food. Those three right there would push me…
Was it Alex? It was Alex wasn’t it.
I need a name. Not that I don’t believe you. Every. single. time. you get a cast member who all of a sudden clams up about her source, you can almost guarantee a Producer was behind it (*cough*Bethenny getting pics of Tom cheating on Luann and opening with, “I will never reveal my source” even before she has said…
I still can’t entirely tell if it’s fake or from Botox/procedures but SO MANY real housewives make cry face at the reunion and produce ZERO tears.
I used to work with one of the original cast members of Real Housewives New York—when she signed on, it was to be on a show about working moms. Then the OC Real Housewives took off like wildfire, and they switched the NY premise after they had started filming and everything. (It was a little weird, because she wasn’t…
I’m trying to think of a worse scheme that has ever been perpetuated, across the entire franchise,than accusing a costar of plotting to drug and rape a fellow cast member. That is just FOUL.
My newest body wash smells like old lady. It’s some Olay something or other I got in a discount Christmas gift set. My spouse’s Old Spice Bearglove smells like wonderful cucumber Mellon. The Olay has been neglected to the back of the shower never to be used again.
Once upon a time, pop culture was fascinated with two things: Desperate Housewives and Orange County, CA. An enterprising reality TV show producer wanted to capture life “behind the gates” of an exclusive OC community (Coto de Caza). When Bravo picked it up, they renamed the show to The Real Housewives of Orange County…
