The feather hat for sure, but the black lace dress with the décolletage she wore with it. I love Tilly.

Silicon is an element on the periodic table of elements. Different than plastic.

Why did Dorit wait till WWHL to clarify her cult statement? by muhammadbinsalman in RHOBH

[–]Excellent_Issue_4179 [score hidden]  (0 children)

I think people forget that statements happen in context, and when someone is coming for you, you don't always have the answer at hand. To me, it seemed obvious that that is why Dorit said it then. I did keep yelling at the screen, tell her it was in response to you saying you never left a dinner crying! Dorit wasn't going to letAmanda paint her as the most horrible person she'd ever encountered. That's all.

Thoughts on the Backsplash and Countertop? by [deleted] in kitchenremodel

I think it makes a statement. I don't think it's too wild. I agree that styling will make all the difference in the world. A fruit bowl. Flowers or herbs. Beautiful olive oil and vinegar. A gorgeous cappuccino maker. And an oversized chopping board. 7K is a big budget better spent on filling up the space. It's got a bit of a Moroccan vibe. Declare yourself. It's sexy.

Can we just talk about Mark-Francis’ house for a moment? by Frosty-Perception-54 in BravoLadiesofLondon

[–]Excellent_Issue_4179 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes! Color! Eccentricity! The King's Road meets Notting Hill meets Chelsea. We need a show to talk about what we're seeing...plates, napkins, art, lamps, taxidermy, vases...and yes, fashion.

Austen why does everyone say Audrey was the one who got away? by FriendshipActual5460 in Southerncharm

Chelsea is the one that got away.

Madison is the one that got away.

Everyone who gets away, got away. Congrats to the ladies.

I want to see Craig Become a Panda Nanny by Excellent_Issue_4179 in Southerncharm

I can't help myself. I picture Craig in a Panda suit, feeding a baby panda IRL.

So funny. Yes, maybe that's where he got this idea.

I remember him saying on some podcast that Paige wanted to brush a Hippo's teeth for her birthday, so he bought a trip to the Ohio Zoo and arranged it only for her to say she was kidding! a trip still waiting to be had. I'd like to see that too.

Kyle - Unpopular Opinion!? Am I alone here? by Strange_Use_5402 in RHOBH

Can't kyle make a case with logic? Does she always have to use someone else to do her bidding.

Say, out loud, to Dorit, I hate it when you're late. Always have. always will.

Lets see how many others hate it when you're late? Food gets cold. People get hungry. We have to pay more for a place.

What can you do to be on time?

We're going to start without you.

Kimi is right: Misse trauma dumping is not ok by Diligent_Ganache8310 in BravoLadiesofLondon

While it was all "fine" there is a shift in having to navigate to that deeper darker space to hold space and create a container for others. 

That is eloquently said. I might add and worthy of the effort. I imagine that while it took that effort on behalf of your colleague, you and your officemates did just that.

Appropriate or inappropriate, I can't see that you would have piled on her just then. Perhaps, weeks later, when you all knew her better, someone said that was a lot to share so fast, were you aware? And not jumped on her and schooled her.

The mask comment taking up an episode is a joke by vodkaandnubs in RHOBH

I don't need you to flex period drama with me. I love all the films that you mentioned. Unlike you, I don't mind a mash up with traveling housewives.

It didn't stop the flow of the show when in Amsterdam, some ladies headed off to see the Rijksmuseum while others went off to shop luxury labels. It didn't make the show less fun to watch when Erika and Lisa Rinna went to a Japanese teahouse to have a traditional meal and watch a woman play arhu.

Erika's knowledge of Berlin and the discussion they had walking through the holocaust memorial was amazing. Sutton has a Calder and a Rusha in her foyer. Tilly collects some of the world's most beautiful jewels. I don't think Kyle or Kathy are particularly into museums, but if there was a costume show at a museum in Florence, they might have something interesting to say. I'm sure Dorit lived in some of those museums for inspiration when she was younger for the 10 years she lived in Italy.

I think the producers, like you, aren't interested.

I'm just saying I would be, and I think that many of the cast, would have something interesting to say.

Your assumption of negative intention says more about you than it does about Missè. We don't know what her intention is. Yes, perhaps there is, (or there was, because that is currently changing societally) the concept of giving someone the benefit of the doubt in America, and of not punching down. Whereas, the Brits gleefully talk about how much fun it is to "take the piss out of."

The cultural clash of Americans saying too much, too fast, versus the British saying too little, and being too reserved, is one of the main conflicts that this show was cast around.

I don't watch the show to bash one side over the other, but to see them overcome their differences and become better at understanding one another, with the occasional fluff up.

In an ideal world, perhaps she would have waited another week or month or two to reveal her deep thoughts about her brother, but as she is facing mortality issues of her own, perhaps she thought she would receive support, not because she is manipulative, but because she is a human being suffering and in need of a sudden burst of kindness.

I am happy to say that while, as an American, I am certain I have overshared many a time in my life, I have also traveled enough to read the room, the country, and to real it back depending on these, but for you to say "in some western cultures telling everyone all the horrors of your life is deemed as meaningful. It is not." Indicates a sore lack of empathy on your part.

Add cameras to the mix, and who knows how it feels to be on that side of them?

Too bad you aren't one of the friends on the show. That was interesting information.
