Does This Ankh Make My Butt Look Huge?

With all the craziness in the world why don't we take some time today to simply breathe. Ready set, exhale, release, exhale, release. OK, back to our regularly scheduled scuttlebutt - you know you want it -

Congrats to Lori Lightfoot the first Female Lesbian African-American Mayor ever in Chicago. Say that three times fast!

Is it just me or does anyone else think of the Cow on Pee Wee's Playhouse whenever anyone refers to Luann de Lesseps as "The Countess" 

The Bearded Lady has spoken

When buying real estate I often take into consideration that the Devil might be coming over 

Crazy Boxing Guy is real

Umami's Truffle Burger is da bomb, and so are their Cheesy Tots!!!

Listen to the wind blow

Go caulk a sky roof

For some reason I watched the 1980 Prom Night with Jamie Lee Curtis on YouTube  - Yeah, there's that...

A shout out to Lynn Tejada  thanks for the invite to the groovy kick off party for The Montalban's Summer movie series up on the roof - what a blast!

If at first you don't succeed - figure it out

#GloryCurtain - discuss

When in a quandary I think to myself, what would Jason Statham do? Then engage accordingly...

And then there were Nun

Just Because...RHONY Season 11 Taglines

Absolutely Fabulous
The Real Housewives of New York City

With season 11 of The Real Housewives of New York City approaching on Wednesday March 6 on Bravo I thought I would get silly on Sunday. (say that three times fast)

The new opening taglines have been revealed. Normally I would not post about such nonsense, but there is one in particular I LOVE!!! However to play fair I will post them all and save the best for last.

Here we go...

Luann de Lesseps: "I plead guilty…to being fabulous."

Ramona Singer: "The only thing I'll settle for is more."

Tinsley Mortimer: "Game, set, now, I need a match."

Bethenny Frankel: "When life gives me limes, I make margaritas."

Dorinda Medley: "If you've got a problem with me, it's your problem!"

And my favorite goes to, drum roll please...Sonja Morgan! 

Sonja Morgan: "People call me over the top, but lately I prefer being a bottom."

Leave it to Sonja to make a gay joke, and an astute one at that. Say what you will about her, but she's fearless!

You've Got To Have Friends

Friendship
Luann de Lesseps & Lance Bass

After the tumultuous past couple of years - a quickie marriage/divorce, getting arrested for a DUI, assaulting a Police officer, entering rehab, relapsing and re-entering rehab and to top it all off being sued by her ex-husband and children, Luann de Lesseps of The Real Housewives of New York City has had quite the bumpy ride.

Lucky for her she's got friends, and lots of them as she takes to the stage in her cabaret show #CountessAndFriends - Look who dropped by while she was performing at The Borgata in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Why it's none other than NSYNC singer Lance Bass!

Honestly I kind of like Luann, mainly because she owns her mistakes. She does not blame everyone else for her problems. While her reactions to them may be less than ideal, we've all been there and done that. 

It's nice to see her having a good time and taking her act on the road. She, like all of us, deserves to have something on our lives that makes our soul happy.

Most importantly she has a great support system of, well, friends.

C'est la vie!

New York State of Mind

10 Years Old
l-r
Ramona Singer, Dorinda Medley & Carole Radziwill

Tis Monday peeps and I'm feeling an East Coast kind of vibe. You know that take no prisoners, no BS feeling?

Perhaps it's because I just watched the Season 10 premiere of The Real Housewives of New York City. 

Nobody does it better than these bitches when it comes to putting it all out there and giving zero f#cks. They make The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills look like rank amateurs in the drama department.

I especially love that the season premiere had a Halloween party in it thrown by the Queen of making it nice Dorinda Medley that will go down in infamy. Why? Because Luann de Lesseps showed up in costume and um, slightly darker skin, as the legendary Diana Ross. Yeah, she got some major cajones! 

Also I must confess, I really like Bethenny Frankel, even though she can get on my nerves from time to time, she is my spirit animal.

To all my fellow RHONY fans I know what you will be doing Wednesday night!
