Strong

Garcelle Beauvais

Tonight is the night when the ladies of Beverly Hills go at it! That's correct The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills airs tonight on Bravo.

I spied this portrait of Garcelle Beauvais straight outta her Instagram page and loved it. 

Thus I thought I would post it in honor of Black History Month and RHOBH day.

While all of the adjectives apply to Ms. Beauvais I felt the one that encompasses her the most was: Strong.

Being a Black Woman in the Entertainment Industry who is successful takes a lot of strength. 

I will extrapolate no further as I can not speak to her life experience past this piece of knowledge. 

This being stated I will be tuning in tonight for RHOBH, "yes" it's my Tuesday evening "thing"

Nothing Shocking

‘RHOBH’ Star Dorit Kemsley and Husband PK Kemsley Are Taking Time Apart After 9 Years of Marriage

If you are a RHOBH fan this is not a suprise. I mean c'mon you didn't see this coming all last season?

Well I guess this headline will bring the ever out of touch with reality Dorit back for season fourteen.

Call it: Saved by the separation...

Hump Day & Chill

The Women of Beverly Hills

OK, I'll admit it! I watch The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Hey, we all have guilty pleasures and tonight is Part II of the reunion. For those out of the loop this is when all the women have watched the current season that just aired and get together to discuss, relive and go for the jugular with one another.

Thus, in case you haven't guessed I (and anyone who cares to join me) am going to Hump Day & Chill to the women and them being reunited and see who calls out who for what transpired during their 13th season.

FYI Beverly Hills is the only Housewives show I actually watch, I didn't want to leave the impression I was a Houwewives connoisseur after all.

Yep, it's a self indulgent Hump Day & Chill and you know what?!

I've earned it!

#RHOBH

The first part of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Reunion has aired and my favorite well of online sarcasm Wrex Weed nailed this image from it brilliantly with his witty caption above.

"Yes" I follow Wrex on Twitter (I'm never not going to call it that) and other gems regarding BRAVO shows, and you should too!

Happy March 1st and TGIF Minions!!!

The Name Game

Sutton Stracke

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills fans know this is Sutton Stracke's go to quote when unlike Baby she is put in a corner.

Thus when I saw this meme of Sutton with her infamous "Name 'Em" defense mechanism quote behind her in pink neon,well I knew it was bound to be featured on Entertain Me.

Now here's the real trick to bending Sutton's trademark quote like Ms. Stracke herself. You must repeat it over and over as many times as you can possibly insert it into the conversation you are having where you are deflecting from yourself.

I believe Sutton's personal record (on the show, perhps not IRL) is five or six times in one continuous loop.

"Yes" it's as obnoxious as it sounds and, well we wouldn't have our Lady of Stracke any other way! 

Now pull yourself up by your panties or briefs and sally fourth playing the name game today! 

Be your own Sutton Minions!!!

Hump Day & Chill

Tonight I'm doing my usual Hump Day & Chill go to and watching The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. I know we are a mere two episodes in, but Daddy wants some meat, here's hoping tonight's third episode gets the party started.

Seriously watching Kyle and Mauricio act like a couple who haven't separated and are on their way to Splitsville is like watching paint dry. This being said Kyle so far this season has been really divisive among my friends. Some think she's the worst they've ever seen her, I like this new version of Kyle personally she isn't taking anyone's guff, you go girl!!!

Of course how can we forget the collective yawn heard round the world known as Dorit and PK?! Honestly it doesn't get any more white bread than that.

And what of Erika Jayne? Her therapist had to teach her how to have empathy at 52 years old!!!

So here we go, another Hump Day & Chill ride on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills rollercoaster tonight on BRAVO...woot!

Ding Dong

Well as most of you RHOBH (The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills) fans have heard Lisa Rinna is out for season thirteen. 

"Yes" I know LVP (Lisa Vanderpump) posted my "ding dong" byline on Social Media, and it's accurate, not to mention funny!

Once upon a time Rinna was a agent of chaos in a loveable, F#ck Up type of way. Somewhere along the trail of breadcrumbs she left she evolved into someone quite malevolent and increasingly problematic. 

Let's face it Minions she was downright uncomfortable and despicable to watch for a few years now. Especially this past season.

While I am sure some are sorry to see her go, I for one am not.

Hey Rinna, don't forget your broomstick on the way out...!!!

Hump Day & Chill

Join Us?
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills

After a trying 2020 things are slowly progressing back to something resembling our new normal. One of those things is the premiere of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills tonight on Bravo.

How nice it will be to Hump Day & Chill with the ladies of the BH, it will feel like, well business as usual and that brings me a certain comfort. Beverly Hills is my favorite in the real housewives franchise, which truly isn't saying too much since the only other one I watch is the New York women. 

While I am bummed that Denise Richards has exited I am happy to see the familiar group reunite. Plus there's a new housewife in the zip code, Crystal Kung Minkoff, she is the first Asian RHOBH cast member and from the looks of the season 11 preview she brings it!

Personally I am quivering with anticipation to bear witness to the drama that is sure to be Erika Jayne this season. With her shall we say, "current situation?" we shall!

You now know how I am going to Hump Day & Chill, join me? Or not...

Hump Day & Chill

When In Rome...
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills

After a month of having endured repeat episodes with cast commentary, we have made it to Hump Day & Chill again with (finally) a brand new episode of  The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills airing tonight, Yay! 

The reason for the month long gap? Well the 411 is because of the current pandemic they were behind on filming the confessionals. Which makes sense, because they would not be able to shoot them until after the show is completely edited and in the can as the women of BH don't really know what footage has been used until the final cut.

So, the women are jet setting off to Rome soon, as the photo above shows. Lets cross our fingers that when in Rome they do as the Romans do. Which means be more of a lover than a fighter. I know wishful thinking, right?!

Personally I am just glad that my Hump Day & Chill guilty pleasure is back, times are tough enough without having to endure repeat episodes with cast commentary.

Say Hello To My Quarantine Friend..

Oh, so what did I think of Hollywood on Netflix? Did I like it or not? Computer says: NO

Who else wants to show Sutton Stracke on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills the proverbial door and hopes it hits her on the way out?

Dylan McDemott just ran naked through my mind (if only he'd done that in Hollywood, but we'll always have the first season of American Horror Story)

This weeks episode of As The Quarantine Turns clearly has me doing something many of you have more than likely done too. That's correct minions, it's called going through all of your old photos as you can see by this weeks image of myself, I have clearly been doing just that.

Once upon a time I used to bleach what was left of my hair blonde. I did have more fun, and it looked groovy, onward with this weeks tomfoolery buttercups.

It's Purple Monkey Time, woot!

Florida beaches are now open. I'll  just leave that here.

In this weeks episode of As The Quarantine Turns I got stimulated yesterday. "Yes" that's correct minions, my stimulus check got deposited directly into my bank account. Thanks Nancy Pelosi!

What's that? Yeah, it's time to move sideways, as the world is these days...

Hello from Quarantine, hope everyone is doing well and not going too stir crazy. I plan on staying in today all day. That's correct I will only exit my abode to collect my mail. That's it.

Obviously I am having my weekly period, not my weekly exclamation point. That is all.

Today would have been Kurt Cobain's 53 Birthday. "Yes" I am a Nirvana fan. It took me a while to get on board, but when I did I was hooked. Translation: when I actually took the time to really listen to their music, rather than sort of engage, I then discovered it's brilliance.

I'm glad that I'm still around to enjoy them, time to sound off minions!

Current Mood

Can't Fight This Feeling!
Lisa Rinna 

This photo of Lisa Rinna motoring to a yoga class with a T-Shirt slogan that reads "Good Vibes" is my post Labor Day Current Mood.

I feel very zen at present as I sit at the computer in the home stretch of my recovery from surgery. 

Lisa is currently embroiled in shooting Season 10 of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. We shall see how the show does post the hemorrhaging of ruling Queen Bee, the other Lisa, Lisa Vanderpump. 

They've added two newcomers instead of one to replace LVP, Garcelle Beauvis & Rinna friend and ally Sutton Stracke. Which is leading to speculation that Erika Jayne may be out this season or demoted to friend of the show via a recent cast announcement for the upcoming season minus her name.

Oh the drama! Season 10 has barely begun shooting and woot there it is! 

Honestly I'll take a yoga mat and some "Good Vibes" over drama any day.

Namaste.

The Return of Lindsey Wallace

Lindsey Wallace All Grown Up
Kyle Richards

With the announcement that Anthony Michael Hall will be portraying Tommy Doyle in the upcoming Halloween sequel, Halloween Kills I didn't think there was anything more that they could do to make me eager for October 2020. I was wrong...

Kyle Richards most known for The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills will be reprising her role of Lindsey Wallace from the 1978 original. For those feeling a tad lost Lindsey and Tommy were the two children that Jamie Lee Curtis' Laurie Strode was babysitting on Halloween night (Yes, I know Annie was actually Lindsey's sitter, but honestly she really didn't do a good job of it now, did she?!) 

David Gordon Green really knows how to pay fan service and make a good movie as witnessed in Halloween 2018. He knew bringing Richards back to play the adult version of the character she portrayed as a kid would send us Halloween Geeks into a nerd frenzy. Mission accomplished Sir!

This Fan Boy is counting down the days until October 16, 2020...!!!

Would You Like A (Cock)tail?
Lisa Vanderpump & The Chippendales Dancers 

With all of the buzz about tonight's episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, you know the one where Lisa Vanderpump and Kyle Richards have a screaming match and Lisa's husband Ken joins the chorus. I thought a happy image of Lisa Vanderpump was in order today. The woman has been through a lot this past year people cut her some slack!

It's no surprise that Vanderpump is quite happy at the opening of her latest venture Vanderpump Cocktail Garden in Vega$ being as she certainly is surrounded by some cock & tail. "Yes" Lisa V. is flanked by Chippendales Dancers. You know those guys who strip, can I get an Hallelujah and a fist bump? Of course I can!

Not only that, but the fact that it's home is the world famous Caesar's Palace also must be putting some pep in her step.

Cheers to a diamonds and rose' sort of day, the calm before tonight's RHOBH sh!t storm if you will. "Yes" we will and thank you very much, Michael has left the building -

Many of my friends who are fans of the show The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills have posed this question to me since episode one: "Why is Denise Richards on the show?" 

Then a along came Penis-gate, and her giving zero F#cks attitude about her wedding to Aaron Phypers. That's correct minions Denise is on the show to make the rest of the women look trivial and annoying IMHO. Denise is there to teach them, not to mention the rest of us, life is too short to accentuate the negative have fun and let the good times roll! So, what are we waiting for, time to roll and rock...!!!

Life is a parade of absurdities and pain, and then we die, alone, in filth. So, yes, little girl I shall buy a box of Thin Mints.
