From the photo you posted of her, I see how she spent her first paycheck from the show.

Thanks Robyn for keeping us posted.

I mentioned the original NJ housewives today in my college classroom. I was trying to impress them. But not a one knew of the series, or any of its locations. Maybe its audience is only people in their 30s and 40s, like you.

Guess I can add Robert Garcia to the names of Democratic lawmakers who have distinguished themselves this week - Jared Moskowitz, Jasmine Crockett, and Jamie Raskin.

Do you think Rep Garcia watches RHOSLC? And do you think he was inspired by having the same last name? I just can’t get enough of this. I want to know more! Please Robyn write a Bravo Substack because I just did a search and could not find one.

What the fuck was that? (not Rep Garcia’s intervention.)

If I'm going to watch people yelling at each other, I'd much rather it be Jasmine Crockett in a congressional hearing.

I'm still waiting for "Real Housecats of Salt Lake City/Beverly Hills/Lawn Guyland."

Robyn, thanks for watching so we don't have to.

Since “Receipts! Proof! Timeline! Screenshots!” is going to be an internet meme it's good to have an explanation where it came from. It also proves that never watching "The Real Fishwives of whereever" was a good idea.

How does civic deep thinker Robyn keep up with "Housewives?"

We all need a little fluff, right? It's like a candy bar for your brain instead of your mouth! Personally, I love stupid drama that I am 0% invested in. My go-to show was 'Say Yes To Dress'. Such low stakes, such fun drama, so many brides!

Do you think the cruel mothers on that show were encouraged to be mean? Or what? Or the awful grooms? If I'd thought they were genuine and then they were scolded-- I'd have been absorbed too. But I thought it must be fake. When I was young (50's and 60's) for some reason sales women always stood and stared at you when you came out of the fitting room and pretended to think you looked great. Nobody wanted to be stared at while they decided, or cared what these women thought, but they supposed they were experts. That's why millions of people hate to shop. I used to think of that always when I saw that show, and how nice it doesn't happen anymore.

So...Jared Kushner is a Real Housewife of Where Now?

I tried, but I'm a Project Runway fan.

Make it work.

Davos? He could disguise himself as a woman in Davos. As a "housewife" he might finally go to jail.
