So, I think Mama Kat is checking out my posts beforehand. I’m not sure how she does it but, it’s a little creepy. I totally wrote a post about being a “Real Housewife” to publish tomorrow. Now that’s being moved up to today thanks to a certain “mama”. Why, you ask? Well, the great “mama” released her writing prompts for the week and one of them is “10 reasons why you could not be a real housewife from any county”. You guessed it, this was totally the topic of my post! Mama Kat is a mind reader. So here goes my TOP 10:
10 – I don’t fake being rich. You have to admit after the Beverly Hills Housewives showed up the other women just seemed broke! So many women from the other shows have filed bankruptcy, lost their home, had their cars repo’d all while living the “glamorous” life.
9 – I’m actually married. I continue to be confused about a show being called “Real Housewives” with barely any wives…
8 – I actually like my husband. Some of these women have really odd relationships with their husbands. They don’t want them around or they don’t want them to touch them. Totally not me.
7 – I don’t have a nanny. I’m sure this would come in handy sometimes. Like for our non-existent date night but yeah, that chick ain’t in the budget.
6 – I don’t wear make up at ALL TIMES. To the gym, to bed, to the bath. At. All. Times. Actually, I don’t wear it at all.
5 – I don’t like being followed. These people are followed for months. Just random production peeps hanging in your kitchen while you cook or in your bathroom while you do whatever. It’s creepy.
4 – I don’t like petty fighting. I don’t like fighting at all. Much less, petty fighting about why I didn’t invite you to my party, if i said you live in your husband’s shadow, if your mama is psychic. (seriously, i couldn’t make this stuff up)
3 – I don’t wear expensive heels all the time. I don’t wear them at all. They cost too much! Plus, it seems crazy to walk around in 6 inch heels at ALL times!
2 – I work. They don’t work inside the home or outside the home. I don’t even buy the argument of them being SAHM’s because they have nannies! Multiple nannies. The SAHM’s I know WORK! The teach their kids, they play with their kids, they take them places, the cook, they clean… you know, WORK.
1 – The number one reason I couldn’t be a Real Housewife is because I don’t have a stripper, hooker, mafia past! Gotta love New Jersey! Keep it coming Bravo…I’ll be watching! Are you “Housewife” material?
Yep me neither. They’d kick me out with two feet!
LOVE LOVE LOVE your reasons! Every single one hit the nail on the head. And yes, I too am a housewives addict. Not ashamed to say it. Lots of times it makes me grateful that I have what really counts — happiness and love from and for my family! 🙂
totally agree!
I wear heals to the gym with full make up and nanny to help my child work out by my side. But I really like my ex husband so I guess I fail there.
Just kidding, I don’t go to the gym. Years of striping have left me with a perfect body.
stripping is the ultimate workout, right? 😉
I am loving reading these Top Ten Posts! I swear I don’t know what makes these people real at all. Unless it’s real as in real fake.
Great List!
Visiting from Mama Kats =)
real fake indeed…
You are right. Most of them are not married. What’s up with that?:)
i know! the show should just be called. “these crazy peeps from blah blah county”
Wha? You don’t wear makeup and heels at all times?
shocking… i know.
I’m definitely not Real Housewife material either. All ten of your things would be on my list as well except I’d have to adapt the part about expensive heels – I don’t even own any heels! I really need to do some shopping and get out more! 🙂
i have like 3 pairs of heels. At 6’1″… i don’t think I really need more than that!
Number one was hilarious. If you did have any of those things in your past we would need to see pictures.
I’m going to write my Real Housewives post for next week because I had to write a post today for something else.
I LOVE your list! Those are awesome! I’m a huge housewives fan too!
And you are so right, after BH showed up everyone else just looks poor!
can’t wait to read yours! do it!
I wonder who came up with the name real housewives anyways? Couldn’t they have come up with a more appropriate title, like the rich, crazy ladies of wherever?
Love your list.
um… i like your title much better!
My favorite is #9 — seriously, how many of them are no longer married?
Also, this is random but, i love your blog layout!
Too funny! I so agree with #9!! It seems like more and more of the “housewives” aren’t even married.
guess that’s just a technicality, huh?
Wow…now I’m convinced I’ve nailed the show without watching it..but I had no idea most of them weren’t married! Crazy.
crazy how on point you were!
