Ladies of London

I just saw a promo for this show on. Bravo. I am so excited! Combining my shameful love of Bravo with my Anglophile tendencies!

Is this supposed to be like Real Housewives? I'm quite sure it will be just as inaccurate and unreal as all the US shows. Just like here, anyone with a ounce of actual class would never do a reality show.

I just looked. Half of them are actually American.

When does it start up?

Actually, 4 out of 6.

I'm psyched. I love when people use fancy words to be bitchy to other people. I will have a tvgasm if they have a loud, fat Texan woman on the show.

I have never watched Real Housewives, but I figure they have to pick unreal housewives. No offense to any SAHM, but I'n not sure I'd watch a show that depicted the important but highly repetitive tasks that they do. Can you imagine watching some do the following?

Read The Cat in the Hat twice. Stop to talk about the Fish a lot

Sort laundry and start a load

Stop sorting laundry to stop children from squabbling

Restart sorting laundry, get interrupted by dog wanting to go outside

Finish sorting laundry

Let dog back in

Serve a snack of carrot sticks and guacamole. Try not to laugh when child uses carrot sticks like bunny ears.

Clean guacamole out of kids' hair

Remind 4 year old 17 times to put on their shoes so you can walk to the bus stop to pick up her sister

It's got meaning when you're doing it because it's profoundly important and because of how much you love the people you're doing it for, but it's not exactly exciting entertainment.

I just don't understand these shows. All these women do on these shows is drink and fight. Who spends their days fighting with other women?

I don't watch these shows either, but I doubt very much that these ladies actually do these tasks. I imagine they have an army of maids and nannies. Plus a team of beauticians, hair dressers, stylists, make up artists, personal chefs and trainers, and plastic surgeons to keep them looking fabulous.

The DCUM crowd?

When I first saw the thread title I thought it said Ladies of Loudoun. Now that would be a show.

For $250k an episode, I would!
