I feel like we need to talk about some of the stuff that’s happened on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills recently. First of all, I enjoy that, not a month ago, everyone was all, “WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO ABOUT THIS SEASON?!?!” in the light of Russell Armstrong’s suicide and now Bravo is promoting it by calling it, like, “the most shocking season ever.”  So that’s a speedy PR turnaround. Speaking of, you should probably read this Daily Beast piece about Russell and Taylor: It casts a wholly different light on Lisa’s take on Taylor (namely, Lisa — I think — thinks Taylor might be a bit of a grifter, and Lisa might not be entirely wrong, and I say that as somehow with sympathy for Taylor). But let’s talk about what they’ve all decided to wear in their interviews.

    Yay! So glad you took my recommendation and are featuring the Real Housewives. Also, I kind of like Adrienne’s necklace here. Not everyone can pull it off but I think she can. Ummm…and I don’t care for the Vanderpump, she comes off as very snotty.

    Is it really possible to spend $25,000 on a pair of sunglasses? This is a serious question. Maybe all I need to do to justify those prescription Chanel bifocals is compare them to the right alternative.

    Somebody make Entertainment Tonight stop working with Taylor, either helping her with money or trying to make a dignified journalist out of her. I cannot look at that weird duck mouth anymore!

    Brandi seems really crass and trashy to me, and Dana with her stripperesque “wedding dress” and her “$25,00″ sunglasses is the epitome of Boughetto.

    You say that there is a lot to talk about in the last frame, but then you don’t talk about her clothes at all.

    Oh, she is totally crass and trashy, but that’s why I think she seems like she would be the entertaining one to sit next to, if forced at gunpoint to appear on RHoBH.

    I’M SORRY I CAN’T HEAR YOU OVER THE PLASTIC SURGERY

    *insert lament about societal standards of beauty that compel women to think a wrinkle makes them look OMG HIDEOUS instead of experienced, mature, content, and interesting.*

    I’m with you, LG. If you wanted to do a slideshow on how too much plastic surgery actually makes you look freakish instead of appealing, these pictures would be the ideal first frames.

    THANK YOU for this because … Well, as far as Adrienne’s gold … wispy … whatevers go, I spent this entire episode not sure whether they really happened. AND THEN the whole Brandi bra mess, which, wouldn’t that strap be SO uncomfortable? Holy crap, I have gone so CAPS and excited with this… Guess I’m not missing another episode…

    So are these ladies dressed for work, or going out to lunch, or running errands?

    @vandalfan, Lunch! HAhahahahaaaa. Lunch. Aharheheh ahem. Do you mean “three almonds”? ‘Cause that’s what “lunch” means to women in Beverly Hills.

    I don’t know what they’re dressed for either (don’t watch the show), but I’m intrigued by anyone who can wear underwear and licorice whips in place of clothing. Who knows? Any kind of funhouse logic could come flying out of that Glanville woman’s head.

    To me, the creepy one is Kim. I’m not seeing meth in that shot, ladies. No: worse.

    I’m seeing a chick who grave-robbed my dead fourth-grade math teacher and is wearing her blouse.

      So that makes it a zombie Halloween costume? I have never watched RHoBH, but I would if one were a zombie wife!

    I never watch this show, but my husband and I did introduce our kids to a movie we both loved as kids: Escape to Witch Mountain. My daughter wanted to know what the cute little girl in the movie looked like now. My husband and I googled her and our jaws dropped. Yes, that cute little girl from Escape to Witch Mountain is Kim from Real Housewives.

    We did not show our daughter the pictures we found. And I wouldn’t show her this one either.

      THAT’S Kim “Escape to Witch Mountain” Richards? Dear Lord In Heaven – thank goodness you didn’t show your daughter these pictures, I may need years in therapy myself.

      @ Anne B “…underwear and licorice whips in place of clothing…” Bwa-ha-ha-ha!

    They look like a bunch of women who are trying to look like Lindsay Lohan.

    (Giggling at ‘Vanderpump.’ Maybe that’s what they used to perform all the plastic surgery.)

    I love that Lisa starred in the “Poison Arrow” video: http://new.music.yahoo.com/blogs/realityrocks/422744/lisa-vanderpumps-80s-video-past-makes-her-the-raddest-real-housewife-ever/

    Licorice whips—thank you! I was mesmerized by them but couldn’t figure out exactly what they looked like (other than trashy). Why in the world would one wear a bra like that esp. on television? It boggles.

    Vanderpump is a hilarious last name…is that her real name?

    The Kim person looks how I think I would feel like I looked if I wore anything with a neckbow.

    Brandi Glanville’s outfit reminds of that scene in Beaches* where Bette Midler sings that Over the Should Boulder Holder song.

    *Yes, I realize how sappy that movie is. No, I will not stop watching it, even if I am a bit younger than it’s target demo.
