I love a short week! Then the Real Housewives of New York comes on sooner. That makes sense right? I’m watching too much reality TV, obviously. It’s making me dumb (so my husband says). Anyway, this week’s episode opens back at Dorinda’s house in the Berkshires (in case you forgot LuMann and Bethenny were going at it over Skinny Girl). Now stay alert because this week’s episode is like watching a game of ping pong.
For the past I’d say 3 years I have noticed my neck starting to go – as in sagging. Ug. I have tried using neck creams, tightening creams and basically ANYTHING that promises a tighter neck. They don’t really work. I may I feel a slight tightening, but I needed something a little more drastic and going under the knife to have my neck pulled back, especially at my age is not really appealing. Yet when I think back to John Cage’s “neck waddle” obsession on Ally McBeal I want to punch something. It’s not funny.
Seriously. What the hell has happened to swimwear this season? More specifically the usually over 35 friendly one-piece bathing suit. While searching for flattering patterned one-piece swimsuits my eyes were assaulted by unflattering cut-outs, tacky mesh inserts and hippy-dippy macrame. I do NOT want a bathing suit that cuts out at the areas I don’t want exposed or one so low cut, my boobs could flop out and my belly button be exposed. A string leading from the bandeau top to a low-cut thong bottom constitute a one-piece. It’s a damn bikini with a string! Nor do I feel it’s appropriate for a women to wear a Baywatch cut Speedo with major side-boob that reads “Birthday Suit” or “On Fleek.” Has everyone gone mad?
The Real Housewives of New York City is the gift that keeps on giving. This week’s episode opens with Dorinda and Jules shopping at the Jonathan Adler store presumably on Madison Ave on the Upper East Side. Dorinda admits she got her secret Santa, Bethenny, a vibrating thigh master. Jules has Ramoaner so obviously the events of the last evening (the scene at the designer party) come up. Jules left to protect her face (?) as she hates loud voices and confrontation. When they see each other tonight, Dorinda’s plan is to just stay away from Ramoner. She has written her off. “Maybe Ramoaner just wants to sleep with John.” (I spit my drink out on that one). NOBODY. WANTS. TO. SLEEP. WITH. JOHN!
This summer if you want to rock the hottest jewelry trend you literally have to get rocks. Raw stones are this summer’s statement jewelry. From sculptured druzy to sliced geodes these earthy elements add drama that’s all glam and not the least bit crunchy. Look for pieces that resonate with you. You can find pieces in every price range. In fact, I spent a lot of time on Etsy finding some beauties for under $50. So rock out this summer! Take a look at just some of the jewelry I found.
