Before I get into it, thanks for all the replies on my previous post about Kimi’s style! I have quite a few ideas, and have a few Pink City Print dresses saved to purchase before my next cruise in December! AND, thanks for the poster on the three part series about Kimi’s history. She’s my fav as well as Martha!

I finished LoL today for the umpteenth time and it rolled over to RHoL. I was cleaning my house and figured oh why not.

Holy hell, how obnoxious is RHoL?!! I’m not even half way thru the introductions, and I rolled my eyes. All the women want to talk about how rich and fabulous they are. They clearly feel the need to prove something. In contrast, I remember LoL, Marc and Kimi lead with how fabulous London is, and why they call summer the season. I love how Misse and Martha talk about how hard it is to live in London on limited finances. Obviously Emma doesn’t have to expound on her situation, given her station, and Myka talks about how she’s settled, but it’s a sacrifice with Marco being away so much. Marc and Kimi just simply mention where they live, and anyone can extrapolate that they’re both financially well off. Margo is the only one who feels the need to talk about her budget, clothes, etc, so I totally buy that she became a different person after she married into money. Lotte was very upfront about her family, and my guess is that Joshua comes from some sort of wealth (the family home where they did the gender reveal), but he clearly works hard at his craft.

But they’re all very real about their standings. I don’t think I’m going to be able to tolerate RHoL. At. All. It’s so ridiculous. It’s a bunch of women who clearly married for money with blokes 20+ years older than them. It’s gross.

At least there isn’t one dull episode on LoL, save for some of the Margo bits because she grates on my nerves.

I’m actually 47, and generally a size 2-4. But I love Kimi’s style. I always have short nails, my hair is a fussy mess of red hair, but I would love to have similar dresses as she has when I’m in Florida and sweating to death. Help a sista out?!

It was a rainy day today, so I put on LoL per usual. I always laugh on the polo episode where Martha yells “horses!” And I adored the conversation Kimi has with her when Martha says “I want it all to be beautiful.” And Kimi says well it isn’t, but it’s about enjoying the moments that are. And it’s those real moments you cannot manufacture out of fame-hungry, social-climbing, nouveau riche housewives.

Having watched this season a few times, and I missed out on the chatter when it originally aired, I just thought I’d share my thoughts.

1. I was really surprised to see the group embrace Myka. The first episode I thought she would be the one picked on because she seemed a little OTT, but I think the Dara angle made everyone embrace her more. Dara was horrible, and I’m glad she made an ass of herself and left.

Production was genius showing her saunter into the restaurant; her exit looked like a pouty child in an oversized coat walking out. I also loved how production would rewind to moments before showing the lies.

2. I think Margo was certainly full of herself, and it was obvious she thought her body was banging enough for the attention. I think she was jealous of Kimi and Marc being born into money, whereas she clearly had to marry for it. I personally think she gave up alcohol to help her keep her figure; I’ve known people like me this.

She was also horrible talking about her budget to her “best friend” who was clearly struggling financially and emotionally.

3. Kimi saying that Margo made a really bad chess move made a lot of sense as the season went on. Tye scene with her at Marc’s house… I think there was a lot left in the editing floor.

Overall I found Martha, Kimi, and Missy the most entertaining. Emma was entertaining, but she seemed very reserved and rightfully so, given her station in life. Marc was a lot of fun as well.

Don’t get me wrong, I adore Lotte and Joshua. But she said they dated for less than a year after snogging at the Box nightclub where they presumably met, after she mistook him for Johnny Depp. They got married quickly so her dad could walk her down the aisle, three years married with a baby on the way.

But she said after she met Joshua, he said you’re walking in my show. And she remarked she had walked in his shows for 15 years.

Either way, I don’t truly give a rats arse… but I was thinking something isn’t stirring the koolaid?

I have watched the season maybe three times now. I love all of it, aside from Margo. But I adore Martha. The whole “I’m a gay Arab man trapped in a white straight woman’s body” is hilarious!!!

And I love Lotte and Joshua. Some called them boring, but I think they’re lovely.
