I will be the first to snark on the show but it is real housewives of beverly hills not real volunteers of the red cross.

+1.

It's supposed to be guilt-free aspirational programming. We are supposed to want to live the life of excess.

Honestly the biggest thing I am embarrassed about is not the conspicuous consumption (you can, after all, tell the pretenders) but is watching grown women fight. I avoid that crap IRL so there's a lot of fast-forwarding. My 6 yr old dd walked in one night when I was watching and when I realized she was out of bed and watching over my shoulder I paused it and she croaked out in her whiskey voice "THESE ARE HORRIBLE WOMEN! WHY CAN'T THEY GET ALONG?" and I was like "I know, right??"

TBH, you really do describe items by the designer- especially when working with the gays. The designer is a big part of the feeling/look.

Stop it with "the gays." This isn't the early 2000s, they aren't your pets, they are people. You aren't so wonderfully open-minded because you collect "gays."

Ugh, thank you. I think the people who use "the gays" are much worse than people who don't even accept homosexuality.

Thank you right back! I totally agree. Both people who are homophobic and faux-liberal people who use terms like "the gays" are guilty of the same things--treating homosexuals as interchangeable oddities, not as individual human beings, and lumping them into stereotypes. Whether you call someone a "f*g" and paint them as good decorators/effeminate/fashionistas or call someone "a gay" and characterize them the same way, you are taking away their humanity, their agency and their individuality. It's not cute, it's not edgy, JUST STOP.

ur preaching to the choir and I'm the one who initially said 'the gays'.

I've reiterated your point of view so many times with people and never realized how annoying I sounded. So. Stop. It. With your faux pearl-clutching. Which is actually worse. Done.

I'm the one you quoted. I understand. I don't collect people but when the gays refer to themselves as the gays I don't argue, either. I don't call anyone that if they don't already say it.
