KEEPING IT REAL

The Real Housewives of New Jersey and New York City is keeping me wildly entertained right now. I am writing this post on the eve of 6 years of this blog! Can't believe I still have things to say about all things camp and to be honest, it's not getting camper than these two "reality" series.

The premise is this, take 5 or 6 rich bitch housewives in New Jersey and New York City, mix the personalities up and cause mayhem as they all eventually hate each other all the while wearing bizarre outfits and have cameras rolling. The New York City cycle of women are in two camps really. Luann DeLesseps was a countess but is getting divorced and is definitely Queen Bee. Then there is Jill Zarin who is really Joy Behar from The View, Alex gets stressed a lot, Betheny sleeps around, Ramona has crazy eyes, Sonja gets drunk and Kelly gets crazy. The new housewife Jill has it down pat when she asks if Luann knows how bad her new boyfriend's hair is and the fact that he's gay.

It's TV gold when the producers build up a moment at an art gallery when Alex told Jill that Betheny was "done" with her. The next episode Luann asked Alex "Who made you God?" The tension built and built and then Kelly went mental on a cruise ship - I think she may be leaving the show with Betheny as these housewives are nuts.

Not as nuts as the women of New Jersey. They are full on crazy. Sisters, Dina and Caroline with sister in law Jacqueline and best friend Teresa get their toes stepped on by crazy cougar ex con Danielle. Danielle is devious and dangerous and was engaged 19 times - she says things like "I wish Caroline love and light" but you know she actually is envisioning murdering Caroline in a gruesome Mob hit style death. Last season, Teresa went mental at Danielle who is actually called Beverly and she flipped a table at her.

This season, Caroline and Teresa are bitches just now - I don't really like Caroline but I do like the haircut Dina gave her cat Ladybug. You really have to get immersed in the show, the slightest argument is expanded to 15 minutes of reality tv dissection and I lap it up like a dog with two dicks!

So on the eve of my 6th anniversary of blogging, I wish you love and light and keep it real!
