Atlanta may be too rich for me
I’m watching a preview of The Real Housewives of Atlanta. Have you ever seen these Housewives shows on Bravo. It started with Orange County Housewives. Then they added New York Housewives. I’ve heard rumors of New Jersey Housewives. And now Atlanta Housewives. Basically, each series is about a group of women with way too much money.
In this episode one of the housewives just wrote a check for $68,000 and some change for a Cadillac Escalade. She just bought an almost $70,000 car like I buy a gallon of milk. Just plucked it up off the shelf and slapped it down on the conveyor belt. I’m pretty sure my checkbook would have a coronary, dry up and die a slow and painful death if I tried to write a $70,000. Heck my checkbook dry heaves if I write a $70 check.
From what I’ve seen it looks like the Atlanta women are going to be the most extravagant housewives to date. These woman are stay-at-home moms with full entourages. They have chefs, a full cleaning staff, personal assistants and PR people. PR people for crying out loud. For a stay-at-home mom. Granted these aren’t normal stay-at-home moms. These moms aren’t driving minivans to soccer games and baking cookies for PTO events. These women are drowning themselves in fine silks and diamonds to make appearances at parties or store openings or wherever else camera are flashing so they can show off their wealth. But seriously? PR people?
One of the housewives had her personal assistant call her dad and ask him what he needed for his upcoming stay at her house. Who does that? Who has their personal assistant call their parents to ask them for a list of demands? Who is her dad? J. Lo.? You know what my mom gets when she comes to my house? A glass of water. And she’s happy about it.
I love Orange County. New York was mildly entertaining. But I’m not sure I’ll be able to stomach Atlanta. What do you think? Did you catch the preview on Bravo too?
Aren’t you going to feel bad when it turns out that her dad IS J. Lo?
*snort*
I can’t watch this show or Sweet Sixteen anymore. I just want to smack them and rob them all.

Oh sure, your mom gives your family a whole swimming pool of water when you go to her house and all you give her is one lousy glass of water. Can you say UN - GRATE - FUL?! hahahehe

Well “happy” might be caring it too far … maybe “satisfied”. Of course, when I get ice with the glass of water, then I am “ecstatic”.
