Real Housewives of Atlanta

Head Back to Atlanta! (click here for a preview of season 3)

For all of you lovely ladies who read my blog, you know, from my title, I'm from Atlanta. And if you read my blog you know how much I love Bravo and all the Real Housewives Shows. So of course I am pumped about RHOA until I saw the cast.

I am not racists, I have lots of African American friends, but I am very upset about the cast for this show! Few, if any of these ladies live ITP (inside the perimeter), none of them like in Buckhead, the elite neighborhood of Atlanta, and if for some reason you don't think Buckhead is the elite neighborhood to live in your just jealous because you don't live there and all but one of the women in the show are black. The Atlanta I know and love is nothing like this!

The Atlanta I know is primarily white, well to do, classy, catholic families. These women do not represent the Atlanta I know and love and it really disappoints me to see this. I want a show to show the true southern bells of the south, not these catty, rude, loud women!

When RHOA first premiered, I was pumped! I was living in south Georgia and all my friends knew I was from Atlanta, but many of them had never been. I was excited for them to watch the show and get a glimpse into my life when I went home. Boy was I in for a shock. We were all gathered in my living room for the premier and let me say the reaction of the girls was less then stellar. They couldn't believe Atlanta was like that and many of them said they never wanted to go if those were the kind of women who ruled the city. I was embarrassed and ashamed that my wonderful home had been portrayed so. I am sure many residence of NJ and NYC had the same feeling when they wanted their respective house wive shows.

I realize that the Atlanta I know may not be the same one as other natives know, and that's OK. You have your life and I have mine, but I want to see a show on Bravo or another channel about strong, southern, catholic women because those are the people I look up to and admire and want to know more about.

I hope they do a show like the real house wives of Nashville or Memphis or even Dallas, where they showcase true southern women, women who wear pears and Lilly, are a part of Junior League and send their children to private school.

Mid Week Laughs

 

I believe this weeks topic is about pets, and sadly I don't have one unless you could JAB. 

so right now what makes me laugh is reality TV

I lived for a year with out BRAVO, not sure how but I did, and now that  I have it I am OBSESSED! I have my TV tuned to 50 all day every day. I watch reruns and repeats, and I yell at the screen like these people can hear me. Top Chef always inspires me to go whip up something in the kitchen even though I really cant afford to. RHNJ makes my blood boil because of that major B**** Danielle. I am trying to get into RHDC but its on the same time as Project Runway so that comes first DUH!

Flipping out makes me want to organize my house, not sure why, but as soon as I decide to do it, I look around, get discouraged and go back to watching TV. Rachel Zoe's saying have gotten into my every day speech so "I Die" at everything and I am "bananas" for cute stuff! I need to incorporate "shut the front door" but I haven't picked it up yet. 

now the question is, what makes you laugh?
