Kim and Alaska rev up their fast-paced lives after a wild seven-year courtship and rejoice in their new status – but Kim’s vision of a slim bridal party causes serious beef with her closest not-so-skinny friends.
I can see WWHL having huge ratings with Ms. Stewart….cause we all wanted to know what the hell happened? But I will bet, should she ever return, the ratings will plummet….the girl is hopeless.
Personally, and correct me if I’m wrong, but every time a “Christian” housewife comes on a show everyone knocks her down. They mock her choices – like the strip club. I don’t go to strip clubs. It’s out of respect for my husband, and I don’t really enjoy them in the 1st place. I find it odd that when someone has a different opinion on life, or a belief system that the others don’t agree with, they find a way to knock that person down – constantly. Just because a wife doesn’t do exactly what they want her to do, or act a certain way – it’s said she’s controlled, or that she should do whatever she wants. Sorry – that’s not true. Not one person who is married, and married for quite a while will tell you, it’s not about doing whatever you want – you consider what your husband wants as well. If he’s opposed to it for a good reason, and there usually is, then you don’t go down that road. However, it works for him as well. There have been many times I’ve suggested to my husband that a certain choice isn’t a good one. He re-evaluated it – and agreed.
Just my two cents…that’s all I can spare today.
I am confounded as heck as to why Gretchen or anyone else would want a future, complicated or otherwise with Slade?
I just don’t see the attraction of Slade. Neither now, nor in the past. Maybe there’s ‘something’ about him that we don’t see – maybe off camera?
I don’t agree with rhe comments that state that Porsha is hopeless… I think that she is young and inexperienced and hopeful. I think she could benefit from being around these women, while she grows. Her wide-eyed wonder is refreshing.
