The Real Housewives of... OMG!

In the last couple of weeks, quite by accident, I caught two or threee episodes of different "housewives" reality television shows. This is where I say (pretend I'm being nasal), "OMG!"

Do these women not know how superficial and greedy they appear to be. I don't know where their abodes are located, but they are not in the real world.

Amazingly, they must have an audience, because new housewives shows keep coming. Could it be that some Americans believe this stuff? Or is America laughing and pointing fingers?

Give me five minutes alone with some of these women, and I'll be happy to tell them what I think of their little worlds. They are bitchy, and they whine. They actually believe in their own false sincerity. I probably still have some cousins in the hills of Tennessee (think Deliverance), and I'm sure they'd welcome these so-called ladies as summer guests.

If my Grandma was alive, it would be perfect. Though she descended from French aristocracy, she embraced being a southen woman with all her heart. She wouldn't even have to be in the hills to teach them about being a real person. She'd keep them in line, too. My grandmother carried a gun in her bra. As a girl, she split her foot with an axe while chopping wood. She tied it up with a rag, and kept on chopping. She also was an amazing horsewoman, and did her share of sharp-shooting. Yet, should she choose, she could out-snob these so-called reality celebrities any day.

I actually lived in Manhattan for four years in my youth. I socialized with the movers and shakers, the rich and famous, and the regular folk as well. How is it that I don't remember living in the New York of Sex In The City, or The Real Housewives of New York?

*Ladies, if you're listening... Nobody with true style, sophistication, and panache would be caught dead watching your shows. I'm pretty sure they'd ostricize you guys, too!

*I use the term ladies very loosely.
