Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Recap – 12/29/15

As we inch closer to the last day of this year – or towards the first day of a brand new year, depending upon your levels of optimism – it’s hard not to contemplate everything that’s come before. After all, something new often walks hand in hand with some type of ending, doesn’t it? There have definitely been some years where I felt a true thudding inside at the awareness that so much is over while other years it’s just a bittersweet kind of twinge that takes over whenever I catch a glimpse of a calendar that tells me it’s December 29th. But this year? Well, I feel completely at peace. What’s gone is in the past and the present feels breezy and bright and I think that the very best is yet to come and the greatest part of all of it is that I haven’t even tried to convince myself of such a thing.

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Recap – 12/22/15

Here’s the thing: so far on this season of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, a lot of things have almost happened.

Luckily, the rest of them were happy to talk about her in her absence so it was like she was there. The new Housewife, Erika, almost made a full impression on me, but the truth is that I’m still remarkably confused by her.

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Recap – 12/15/15

There’s really nothing better than jetting off to Europe on a wonderfully glamorous family excursion. There’s so much togetherness when you’re all cramped together on a luxurious yacht! Plus, once you dock, you get to steep yourself in genuine world history just by walking the same old streets the people who lived before us once wandered down. I think if our ancestors could come back today, they would be very excited by the Yelp app and positively flabbergasted by what constitutes entertainment at this moment in history. Let’s put it this way: just trying to imagine my sweet and departed grandmother’s face as she stumbles across the rapist with the steel dildo on American Horror Story (or a Kardashian in any of their incarnations) gives me a gigantic headache and, while I miss her, I think it’s probably a good thing that she’s long gone. I don’t think she would appreciate the Real Housewives franchise either, but Kyle Richards could care less that my Nana wouldn’t like her. Kyle, you see, simply does not have … Continue reading
