I’m not sure how this happened but I’m just having an I don’t give a fuck day. I’m moderating comments and doing the bare (bear?)minimum to keep the blog going, but I am probably not even going to watch whatever I am supposed to be blogging tonight. I’m in the BEST MOOD EVER!
And drinking.
So what better time for y’all to ask me questions. Grab a drink and hit me with your best shot. What little filter I have is gone. Who is first?
Okay that may not be my pic, but this is how I picture the haters and it amuses me.
What is your real name? (first only of course)??????
Worst question ever! LOL sorry couldn’t help myself.
I love how Jim-weenie thought he was so sleuth super spy for giving out your name when it’s easily googlable from you court case with Sheree.
Which leads to my question(s) – for those of us that weren’t around when you went through the whole Sheree ordeal – what can you tell us about the experience? Like…what was it like being in the same room as her? What did you wear? How did you first receive noticed about it all (like if her attorney contacted you through the blog, etc.) Is it the camera that makes her face have such “harsh features” ala manly? Was it hard for her to articulate a sentence? Did you regret going to the will-forever-be-a-construction-site?
I didn’t know about it for the longest time so it was really cool going back through your archives reading about it.
She blogged about, remember? Well, someone guest blogged, the Sherrif came and summoned her.
Sheree is a fucking idiot by the way.
It really was a dumb question IF you are not on Twitter. You have to realize most normal people do not know or care about Twitter. Everyone thinks it is the end of the world who is on it , but it’s not.
I thought Jim was such a pussy when he deliberately posts my “full name” and changed a letter to protect his ass. lol.
On to Sheree .. you can read it all here in real time. http://s17948.p858.sites.pressdns.com/?s=sheree+court
You have to understand, I was still really having panic attacks when this went on. I only left my house for therapy appointments. So one night late, in the dark there is a loud knock on my door. I don’t know why I looked to see who it was, but I did. It was the PO PO! I assumed they were coming to tell me someone was dead. But no! It was a subpoena. The cop said something like, it seems like you got into some trouble or something… I’m like here? Sitting on my couch? WTF?
The most surprising thing about the whole case was that Sheree was claiming I was stalking her and she was in fear for her life. But she had no idea what I looked like because I’d never had any contact with her whatsoever. So she hires this guy, Jason Lapene to stalk me and find out what I look like. I left the house ONCE during that time to shop for court clothes as I continue to increase in size. While I was at the mall my keys were stolen. Coincidence? Then in court Sheree’s atty suddenly recognized me and called me by name as I sat in the back while the REAL TRO cases were called. (they were sad and serious and Sheree should have been ashamed but she waited outside during all that.)
I’d never been a participant in court before so I expected that Sheree would tell the truth. OMG. She made up all this shit about me stalking her and her and her kids being in fear for their lives and how they can’t “play at the house(read construction site)” anymore. It was jaw droppingly shocking.
I mean I get people lie, but to bring a case before a judge and then make shit up? EVERYONE who reads here knows I talk all the time about being OUT IN THE WORLD for like five minutes.
It was crazy. And we had to go through mediation and she kept saying she would drop everything if I would just stop blogging that the house was never built.
And absolutely no regrets. It was a great way for my site to get noticed. I’m hoping Jim Marchese sues me next. That would be even better! I’ll love to bring all his frivolous cases out to a GEORGIA judge. lol We don’t play here.
Crap I over answered. sorry.
If you’re gonna say worst question ever, I gotta call you out on “How did you first receive noticed about it all (like if her attorney contacted you through the blog, etc.)”
You can’t get served through a bkog, my dear.
Tamara of course. And people who are intimidated by my success post my full name and address on twitter every day. I’m not hard to find or hiding behind an alias. 🙂
LOL! Renember that was Sheree’s opening line,
People are intimidated by my success
Maybe I am just ODD…..I signed up for Twitter, literally in the first few months it came out/was in existence. I think I sent like 2 tweets, then decided it was way too much fucking work. I still have my account, but I do not use it much at all. The reason I asked was that I have seen people who posted your alleged real name out there in the world and just wondered if they were lying. Honestly, I have better things to do then to “research” the person whose blog I frequent. Which Jim gave out your name, not the Jim from RHONJ????
yeah it was that Jim. Want his home phone number?

@Lawstangel, yes that Jim.
Definitely not over sharing! I was embarrassingly giddy reading that – thanks for the deets!
What a crazy time that was! All of us who followed your blog back then thought she had just lost her damn mind. And didn’t she want her older daughter (name escapes me) to file a restraining order against you too then?
Lawstangel, I read that Ms. TT’s first name is actually Tamara. ☺
If you could bring back any former Housewives to their respected franchise, who would it be?
I dunno that I would bring anyone back. I am team Caroline Manzo all day long. But she has her own show and does have to be arsed by the #RHONJ idiots anymore. Sadly Jac will be on that show but it will hopefully be counterbalanced by a Greggy Bennett appearance.
If I had to put someone back on a show it would be Joyce Giraud. I think she was undervalued and not given a fair shake.
Caroline is my fave, too! (Kenya, next.) Both are smart and passionate, and would much rather get along, but if challenged, they can be remarkable forces to be reckoned with.
Totally agree about Joyce. She was a good addition and never really got a chance to integrate outside of the Brandi foolishness
Ewwwwwwwwwwwwww!
But to each his own. I mean, I liked Gretchen.
I think I’d bring back Camille.
I really believe Brandi was behind that.
Soooo, what are you drinking?
Do you think Sarah Palin faked her pregnancy with TriG? (I’ve done lots of research and am pretty certain she did)
Do you think Beyoncé faked her pregnancy too? (Jury is still out for me, I saw the folding tummy video and it looks like it deflated…)
Miller Lite.
I’m torn on both pregnancy things. The fact that it is disputed at all seems suspect. Amirite?
With all the traveling you’ve done I’m curious – what was your favorite trip and why and which place would you never ever go to again even if you got an all expense paid trip? And bring it back around – if you could take one housewife with you who would it be?

My first (and second) trip solo as an adult to Paris was my favorite. I was drinking (shocker) watching The Hills and those bitches were in Paris and it pissed me off. So I drunk booked a trip. I woke up the next morning REALLY freaked out. The trip itself was under 2k. I could afford it. I was working. But for some reason it seemed like such a HUGE THING. I went. I cried most of the time I was there, just out of sheer happiness and remembering my childhood there. I was literally crying all the time and sweet people would come up to me and I would SOB “THIS IS THE HAPPIEST I’VE EVER BEEN IN MY WHOLE LIFE” and they would slowly back away. 🙂 Paris is unimaginable perfection.
Worst trip. well oddly I mostly remember the worst parts of traveling Europe as a kid. Paris was NOT a fond memory, I remember my parents were pissed because the could not find the Eiffel Tower. We were traveling based on a book call Europe on Five Dollars a day. There was an update to like $25 a day but we were not using that. so we must have been in some exterior arrondissement because if you can’t fine the Eiffel tower…
But the worst was Pompeii. My mother used to make my clothes when we lived in Libya. Not all just enough to make me miserable. She had made me a POLYESTER jumper that was shorts. It was cute but like HEAVY polyester and there is no overcoming that. We were going to Pompeii with luggage on a train for reasons I still don’t understand. We got off at the wrong stop and wandered through the heat for HOURS. Did I mention Polyester? No desire to go back.
Oh and if I could take a housewife it would be Alexia Echevarria when her son was here in Shepherd Spinal Center we talked a bit online. I really like her.
That damn picture Tamara, what on earth did you search for to find that photo? LOL! Goodness gracious.
Is that a question? I search for Jim Marchese and this is the only pic that showed up!
Goddam that was sooo funny.
Is Andy Cohen dating that soccer player?
Do you get along with Funky Dineva and Michelle?
Has a Housewife ever supplied you with tea? You don’t have to name names.
I dunno.
Yes of course. Funky and Michelle are good people. I never really chatted with Funky D outside of court but I wish him well and Michelle is so busy I haven’t gotten to talk to her for a bit either, I’m a hermit and she is a social butterfly. Her RHOA is the real deal though. And she has been very kind to me.
Lots of them. 🙂
Ok, you knew I couldn’t resist, really I would like to know if Cynthia’s agency is real and if you or someone you know have been to Bar One? Modeling agencies in Houston supply models for some regional ads and local events but I don’t think they send models to NY fashion week that’s why I am asking. Plus, I know it would never happen, but what do you think would happen if the cast of Married to Medicine merged with Rhoa? Who would Miriah kill first NeNe or Kenya?
I used to drive Cynthia’s agency in Grant park multiple times a week, when it was located near her townhouse. It was always open during business hours but never had more than a few people in there.
Bar One is located on Memorial Dr. down the street from a few popular restaurants. It looks big but only has a handful of cars in the parking lot during the day. Never driven by it at night.
I know the neighborhood planning unit hates it because it can attract a ghetto crowd.
Thank you for your response! It does give me some insight!
Of course Cynthia’s Agency is real. I don’t understand why you would think anything else. She’s hugely successful model who runs her own agency. She doesn’t get the credit she deserves IMO.
I don’t watch M2M.
I wasn’t being evil or anything, I just imagine it would hard to start one. I’m glad to hear it’s legit because, in the housewife world, you never know! Thanks TT for the response and I hope you don’t have a headache in the morning!
Oh, are you the one always asking about M2M? Awful show.
Cynthia is absolutely gorgeous.
I can disagree with others, but I’m glad there are a great number of people here who recognize Kenya’s intelligence, etc.
i took my ex-boyfriend to Bar One for his birthday last year. I thought it was a restaurant. On saturdays it is more like a club. Food was awful. Not a bad place but not for me.
I’m curious why you would think it was a restaurant when the name is BAR One.
Are you and teecee the same person, with “her” being just your somewhat repressed alter-ego?
Yeah. She’s super repressed.
Are you and my turd the same person? Because you are amazingly similar only my turd is less repressed.
Funny, one of Sally Field’s personalities said the same thing in the movie, “Sybil”.
Your parents are related to each other, right?
I love you captain, but no good can come from this. TeeCee and I were raised on the same Internet teat many years ago. We’ve hated each other much longer than we have tolerated each other. I have friends that are not impressed by out tentative alliance. She’s good for ratings. 🙂
I asked Tamara a question and teecee replies. I think that answers the question I asked. Hmmmm.
oh for fucks sake I was answering questions

Actually, she’s taught me A LOT. Learning to say, do , think what you want without influence is perhaps my greatest life lesson. Don’t tell her that though. She’s a retarded cunt and would not get it 🙂
“She’s good for ratings”
I’ve always thought of her of as the Kim D/Victoria Gotti of the blog even before you said that.
Haha, love the question and the answer! I have wondered as well.
What makes TeeCee’s psersonality so endearing is the fact that Her turds are not stuck up her ass. Everything flows freely and fluidly.
Nothing repressed going on there.
Captain Eel: shut up! You sound dumb! Teecee isn’t bothered by people like you, yet you obsess over her. Teecee does have good points, gotta say so!
Totally agree with you. I always laugh at those who get pissed at TeeCee yet are always mentioning her when she’s not around.
Do you think Phaedra will be at the trial tomorrow?
No trial tomorrow. Or ever probably,
If you’re at liberty to say, has the case been thrown out, settled or withdrawn?
sorry. clearing out emails. if you are asking about Parks v Stanton it will never go to trial she will settle with a confidentiality clausel

Do you see yourself being Bestie’s with Jim Marchese anytime soon?
(don’t beat me)
Where did you find TeeCee?

What kind of dog is Banjo?
What do you prefer;
bottle wine or box wine
What do you drink while blogging?
You can give us your tips on how to travel first class as cheap as you do. Im sure it has something to do with off peak times, but more to it.
Do you see yourself being Bestie’s with Jim Marchese anytime soon?
(don’t beat me)
No, he really does need to die. He is a waste of resources.
Where did you find TeeCee?
Please don’t poke the bear, then she gets all the attention. This is my moment.
Whats the strangest place you got it on? (me: In a car, i know, bleh)
Golf course, broad daily, people played around us. True story.
What kind of dog is Banjo?
He’s Sharpei mixed with something HUGE.
What do you prefer;
bottle wine or box wine
Normally this would be a blasphemous question. But wineries are moving to boxed. It hard because of the stigma but the whole bottle thing is so 17th century. That said I don’t like expensive wine, unless it is champagne. I love a really cheap Merlot from Chile.
What do you drink while blogging?
Usually Black Box Merlot it’s really good. But lately I am backsliding to beer. I really do need to lighten up on both for obvious reasons. 🙂

I could but they have fixed most of the loopholes. I will say USE THE SELF SERVE KIOSK! Many times when I check in to Delta on the self screen it says wanna upgrade to first for 50 bucks? um duh. But I have a good Amex card that is attached. I’ve had the same experience with AA I asked an agent for an uprgrade after a bad day and he said he could only give me full price. Went to the self serve Kiosk and it was 80 bucks.
Let’s just keep this between you and me though. And BTW I was really upset on that flight MIA to ATL because of a really hard customs interrogation. I was the only person in First and they did everything but massage my feet. Totally worth the 80 bucks for a short flight. #warmnutsandchampange
Re: upgrading to first class:
A.) I read a very interesting article in a major paper (can I say NY Times?) about a woman who always dresses up a ton when she flies. She wears her furs, a tailored classy feminine suit, beautiful jewelry and professional (or at least incredibly well done) hair and makeup. She almost goes vintage, with gloves and appropriately sized, quality luggage.
She arrives early, is polite, in no way provocative, and is almost ALWAYS offered an upgrade! Rarely has to even ask. This happens most often on international flights.
The theory is that the airlines do like first (and business) class to look exclusive–a real treat, and group you want to be a part of.
This was a legitimate article in a very reputable source.
(So think twice before you wear your yoga pants on the plane, at least if you want an upgrade! (But my sister is in the industry, so I am lucky!!!)
B.) AmEx cards are the shit!!! The concierge service, etc. Yup, awesome.
Long story, but I found it fascinating. I wish I could find that article again.
Which hole?
It’s been a long time since our last Ask Tamara thread. Thanks for the opportunity and glad your having a great day!
Did you have other online attempts at entrepreneurship, what were they and how successful were they?
What kept you plugging away until you hit on the successful formula that is TamaraTattles?
Did you know in your bones you would be successful and how did you overcome the inevitability of occasionally being discouraged.
Sorry I have no idea why this went into moderation…
I really wasn’t thinking about making a living at TT at first as you can go back and see, I was trying to get myself out into THE WORLD and thought I might report on the celebs in the ATL. Then I started talking about RHOA to like a thousand followers… Then I broke the Nene Leakes story after someone close to her told me about Glee. It was all sort of accidental.
I was just bored. I didn’t really set out to be a successful blogger. It just happened. Serious. I just blather on about shit, A LOT. I have no idea why any of you pay attention to me.
Nope! I won’t accept that. We follow you because of reasons I have listed before (reputable, accurate, don’t jump on the hype, etc.) You are hilarious, your recaps are so much better than the shows, and I know it’s not like a HUGE honor, but I do not follow any other blog. I don’t ever comment on things, but here I do because of the quality of your posts and your readers (in general).
Those are my reasons in a nutshell. Ask the others and you’ll get even more.
So give yourself a little credit!
Oh, and coming from Washington State, I love the little “peek” into the South from a REAL person. Fascinating! Cultures differ so much around the country, not just the world.
kind of a boring question but who are your top 3 fav housewives and who are your bottom 3
also I remember you met jill z before but have you met any others.
Hi vanessa!
I try not to meet the HWs. The only time I ever considered it was when Alexia from RHOM was in town dealing with her son’s issues. I really wanted to take her a blanket or a casserole or something. It’s a southern thing But her husband is fabulous. And my intentions would have been misinterpreted as stalkerish.
I don’t really have a top or bottom three. It changes every season. Clearly Caroline and Alexia are favorties. I like REAL people.
Aww I love alexia, she is gorgeous, makes me sad rhom isn’t coming back. Her and Leah were my hands down favs from that show.
For me the HWs I hate changes but my top 3 remain the same, although sometimes I have to hide in my corner while rooting for them : )
Have you ever day dreamed about getting revenge on the administration of your school days?
Once again I find myself in agreement with TeeCee.
I’m glad you can find yourself.
I am a ass kisser and adore TeeCee
When I was teaching? OH YES ALL THE TIME. The only decent admin is now finally a principal after doing all the work for the male figureheads for years. Her Vice principal is one of the best teachers I’ve ever known.
You could not pay me a million bucks to work for either of them. Mostly because both will rigorously enforce the district bullshit. The new VP was teacher of the year, young,smart, extremely talented teacher. But she never left the building, she has OCD, everything is perfect. And she spends 24 hours a day making it that way. And she’s nice and will help and advise you and she’s pretty and she will stay up all night make shit for your class room and she’s fucking perfect. I mean in her world there must be 48 hrs in a day.
I’ll vote for her for School Superintendent when the time comes but Jesus be a beer.
I enjoy your blog because of your insightful, non filtered comments, I chuckle often and I love this post. I wondered the same thing as captain eel, is tee cee your alter personality? What is your gut reaction, quick, jail or no jail for Teresa ? I see an end to the RHWV franchise, it is so obviously scripted and going down hill fast, how long to go you think it will last. Don’t drink too much!
Well hello there Beth, long time no see!
Y’all are really gonna poke the bear with this line of questioning. NO WE ARE NOT THE SAME PERSON and if y’all don’t stop asking she will kill me. I have dear friend that don’t comment here because she is here. It’s all a huge mess. Let’s move on.
As for Teresa her attorney is everywhere acting like probation or home arrest is an option. they have VERY effective attorneys. If you live in Jersey and need an attorney call them first. The judge is female though and I hope will make her wear orange for a few days at least. She needs to understand there are consequences.
As for reality TV I am glad my blog doesn’t have reality in the title. I think it is phasing out. I am hoping to drag you all with me to the next thing.
We’ll follow you anywhere, Tamara!
Do you think Tyler Perry got his baby mama preggers the old fashioned way or surrogate?
Did you like Blacklist last night? Not asking for recap here just
Tyler Perry is a known homosexual. His ‘girlfriend’ is 8 months pregnant. Said to be having a boy.
I do not believe anyone’s sexuality defines them but I do feel sorry for grown adults that feel they have to live a lie.
He will be an excellent provider and the child should have a wonderful life. I just wonder how he will teach ‘him’ self-confidence and to walk in his truth.
Who are you and why are you talking about “KNOWN HOMOSEXUALS” as if that is a crime or something. Get the fuck out of here. known homosexuals? Has that phrase been used since 1963? You are annoying me and harassing my mellow. My brow is furrowed and I am going to need botox. Please hit the botox button fund on your way out the door.
OMG! “A known homosexual” who “lives a lie”! If he knows and accepts that he’s gay, that’s good enough. If he keeps it to himself and to a few close friends, contrary to your accusation, he isn’t “living a lie”. (What a god damn awful, intolerant thing to say about one whose view differs from yours.) He practices personal discretion, which is wholly acceptable. His business IS HIS BUSINESS.
Coming out no doubt has proven to be an effective political option/action/stance to promote gay agenda issues. However, in many cases, coming out also has forced hearers to take a stance about a person’s sexuality, which some may take as an imposition. Why should it reasonably be important that I or anyone else approve of who you choose to love, or whose personals you like to diddle?
So, if Perry or anyone else chooses to keep his business his business, anyone who is sympathetic to lesbian and gay people, should respect him/her and his her choice to remain discreet.
I get your point and actually took a time out and went to twitter after the “known homosexual” comment. But the commenter is gay and if I recall correctly you are not. So you sure do have a lot of righteous indignation on behalf of “the gays.”
As a general rule, people who rabidly defend other groups online make whoever they defend seem like defenseless victims.

There are so many RT shows shot in ATL, so have you seen any these shows being filmed?
How and why did you get into the RT blogging?
If you could have a drink and conversation with any of HW who would you choose?
How old were you when you said your first curse word?
Besides Apollo,Tre and Joe who will be charged with a crime next?

How and why did you get into the RT blogging?
It was an accident. I thought I would just blog about Atlanta. And the celebs that come here. I knew people who knew where they ate and stuff. I was just fucking around. Then I broke the story about Nene Leakes being on Glee. I had like ten posts. lol. And from there…. everyday I get more inside contacts. I’d love to thank that person close to Nene… but..
If you could have a drink and conversation with any of HW who would you choose?
I want to eat a Caroline Manzo’s house. She is a lot like my sister.
How old were you when you said your first curse word?
I dunno but my love of offensive language started in Tripoli. I remember we were going of a field trip somewhere and it was like my first school bus ride. Someone told me (I was six) that if you said God Damn you would go to hell. it’s one of the earliest memories of my life. I laughed. And said you can’t go to hell for saying words.
Besides Apollo,Tre and Joe who will be charged with a crime next?
Marchese.
PS I am drinking too 😉
I’m late to this party but have to ask… If Caroline invited you to dinner but only with the bravo cameras around, would you go?
no

Oh no, I’ve said too much.
Naa: nailed it.
That should be obvious. I’m long past the stage of having to point that out.
How do you feel about TMZ and RO being financed by PR firms? RO is flagrant with their Kardashian, Bravo and RNC dealings.
Why would I have feelings about such obvious things?

I kinda like it. TO me it is Jim Marchese…
Still funny.
Did you ever read Richard Lawson’s Housewives reviews on Gawker? NY and NJ reviews were the most brilliantly worded posts in internet history.
Um, seriously, have some respect and read the rules. For real.

I’ll never go back sadly. The hotels I stayed in and went out of business and no longer have a relationship with Blue Bay beach or wherever it was l enjoyed getting drunk, swimming and watching the 70 yr old Dutch women parade about topless as if it was normal as the day is long. I want to be that 70 year old Dutch woman one day.
Tamara what is your Credit Score?
I dunno. I don’t use credit much. I do know you though so I could send you my digits and you can let me know how I am doing. I just put everything on my AMEX and pay it off every month for the skymiles. 🙂 Delta has new direct service from ATL to St Croix… it’s all a matter of time. Maybe Christmas.
Can I have your social security number? Apollo and I have been talking and he said he can teach me some “get rich quick” tricks!
TT, I see the ‘reply’ button to your reply to me is missing. I’m a gay man living in Atlanta. I didn’t mean it as a nod to ‘1963.’ Maybe I should have written ‘known gay man.’
Atlanta is small. I have friends that work for his studio and a few he fired because he refused to pay union scale for writing. He doesn’t hide that he’s gay around friends and a select group. It’s an open secret. It just irritates me when he does media promos stating that he’s looking for a good woman. It’s not true.
Let me know if I’m not welcome to comment on your blog anymore. I would like to be welcome. Misunderstanding?
That’s cool that you’re gay and explained what you meant. You had everyone wondering for awhile. I thought you were channeling Anita Bryant.
You had me at Gay man living in Atlanta. 🙂
And yes baby we know Tyler is in the closet, but if that is his choice, it is his choice. why must we cast that spotlight. Dude, he has made millions dressed in drag. I totally dislike the man because he is obnoxious and rude and plays the race card when he gets pulled over.
But I mean it is clear as day. Let him live in a river in Egypt if he wants.
And don’t be such a pussy. I may rattle your cage from time to time. But gay men always get a pass from me. All the good looks without all the relationship issues? I’m all in. 🙂
This comment is why I love you, TT. 🙂
Also, I will read the comment rules and pledge allegiance.
gay male Atlantans start out with 10 tamara tattles tokens, so you will be fine unless you are my gabor who I am currently hoping dies with his mother during meth induced incest. Um nevermind. Don’t ask welcome.

Why do people like Dina from Housewives of NJ so much? She is so two faced! How do you feel about Teresa downsizing? Does this mean she is going to jail?
Love your Blog 🙂
Dina is Caroline’s sister. We all want them both to do well and reconcile.
Teresa is a felon.
Yes, we hope so.
I don’t like Dina. She’s boring. Looking at her shoes and all “namaste bitches”!
She needs to chill on telling everyone she’s so protective of Teresa. WE GET IT!!! Perhaps she should have protected Teresa from committing like 44,000 felonies?
Can’t answer your question below, there’s no reply button so I’ll answer it here. How To Get Away With Murder starts tonight.
Tt, I remember being inspired by how you have your own house and live simply and comfortably. When did you retire from teaching? I’m assuming you don’t want to share your age, what age group did you teach and what subject did you teach? Also what did you study in school?
hi Normal!
I may need to answer your questions in reverse order. sorry.
I did not “retire” from teaching. I was essentially pushed out. I was literally leaving work for the ER. It happened twice. I have a history of heart problems and it scared me. Turns out it was panic attacks. I could no longer deal with the pressure.
As weird as this sounds, I was raised as sort of a “rule follower” I kinda feared breaking rules and am the kid that would be TERRIFIED of being in trouble. To be honest, today is somehow the day that I figured out I am never going to be “in trouble” again. Because no one has authority over me. No one. That is the most fantastic thing ever. I’m totally free to be me.
Today is what my therapist will call a breakthrough!
I had a bit of help with the whole ghetto shack thing. I lived here on my Father’s request . I was a Daddy’s girl and was living on Saint Simons and he asked me to come home. I had a job offer in Tampa and suddenly was asked to teach public school at the place right next door to this house. Mama was dead, Daddy wanted me home and so I came back and taught at the elementary school.
I hated it so much that I applied for and received national certification, When I told my illiterate principal I received it he said “so maybe you will start using it” as if it was not an assessment of my abilities. He begrudgingly gave me the obligatory good review every year but he was very upset that I was smarter, better educated and totally aware of his deficiencies. I think he was eventually fired. But too late for me.
I’ve taught everything from first grade to college. I prefer college freshmen and second grade. I may pick up an adjunct class soon. I kind of miss it.
Congratulations for having a personal breakthrough, and realizing you are not under anyone’s authority and embracing the fact you have the freedom to be who you are!!! I sympathize with you and I wish you all the best as you continue on the road to self discovery. 🙂
Same as golden indigo! Congrats!
Funny you prefer teaching college freshmen… I so prefer teaching sophomores and juniors; seeing them start to really grasp something and the dots start connecting and it starts clicking! Love it.
Any update on the Real Housewives of Atlanta? Will the current season of RHONJ AND RHOA overlap?
You should read my blog! It will all be answered.
What do you consider your biggest success and alternatively your biggest failure? And what kind of music do you like?
My biggest success is the impact I had on the kids/adults I taught. It was a privilege you will never understand. I knew my students like the back of my hand.
Funny thought. I just thought of the college kid who I was basically buying food and clothes for. I was working at a HBC and my mother was FURIOUS with me constantly saying “you did not take ‘these people’ to raise!”
So he is in my office (his name was Angel. I wish I remembered his last name, he was practically my son for a year) and he is sharing with me that he has decided to become Muslim. So I listen, in the best office I ever had, btw I was brought in as Department head and it was pretty awesome. I was making $19,000 a year (no I did not miss a number) then they school was reported for pocketing our pay and lost their Title funding. One would think we would have been paid back, but no.
Anyway kid says he has found religion. It’s a spiritual moment… I listen and then ask if he is hungry. Because I am literally buying the kid whatever he needs because he has nobody.
So yeah, he is hungry. I suggest we order a pizza. I’m hungry and stuck at work.
He says, Pepperoni.
I explain that now that he is Muslim, and doesn’t eat pork we can’t order Pepperoni anymore.
He said? Pepperoni is PORK? okay no fucking way I am doing this shit. Dayum.
I ordered a large pepperoni.
One of the best days of my life. 🙂
Great story! And I’m totally enjoying this whole post. 🙂
Except for that fucking baby!! Nightmare inducing, and oddly fascinating at the same time.
Sorry I got off track. My biggest failures are all with relationships. I am not very good at them. It’s all black and white to me. I love you or I hate you and if you hurt me I never ever forgive even if I am wrong.
And I don’t listen to music since I got the crazy that much. I’ve always been so HUGELY affected by music that I hate when it is forced on me. I’m the same way with art. Which is why I always cry my eyes out in Paris.
Man, its tough to give up pepperoni for spirituality! Great story! And hey, as far as relationships go, I don’t think I’m very good at them either despite being married for years and years. I remember now you said you didn’t listen to much music but if you ever wanna get drunk and spin some records I’ll be there in a heartbeat!
thanks eastjames the meatlovers pizza is on me!

Which current scripted/non reality shows do you watch? Faithfully.
Also, are you heading towards or maybe going to be sprinkling in some blogs on these types?? ☺
Obviously, we aren’t completely over our Housewives and and all that…yet!
Ps. That pic is creepy as FUCK! LoL
I LOVE The Blacklist and Madam Secretary recently. I am very purposely trying to lead you to those shows. But I’ve disappointed many today by not giving the promised Blacklist recap. Real show are hard work to recap. I love the reality ones because I can knock some crap out and have it up during the end credits and all the trolls will descend to tell me I did not spell something correctly. SCORE.
I love and recap SCANDAL I am looking forward to How to Get away with Murder. I’ve watched Under the Dome and Extant on Demand when bored…
I like watching TV and am thankful that y’all read here and I’m finally doing it for a living!
I just downloaded Madam Secretary to watch when I’m in the gym next. I was hoping it was good.
oooh when does How to Get Away With Murder start?
Have you watched The Following? I watched it on Netflix and it was really good. I LOVE Scandal and The Blacklist. Where have I been, I don’t know about Madam Secretary. I will look for it. Do you ever go to the movies, or watch them? What kind of movies do you like? And who is your favorite author?
I really need to start watching The Blacklist. I’ve had a crush on James Spader since Pretty in Pink, even though he played an asshole. He was brilliant in Boston Legal, too.
Hey T,
I’m late to the party here, so you may be done. I am glad you like Kenya. I think Bravo has chosen her for the crazy bitch role, but I don’t get all the love for Caroline. What is it about her that appeals to you?
I live in town with her, and although I don’t know her, she GRATES on me. Dina on the other hand, is very sweet. I’ve seen her around, and even had a conversation in CVS with her…. but her sister, mi fa schifo. I feel she is the type of Italian that makes others laugh at us (my parents are Italian immigrants).
I can’t help you with your personal vitriol to Caroline. Um, What’s not to love? You sound like a cunt.
LOL! I guess I should love her… After all, I love you!
Ooh ooh can I play? I apologize if you’ve addressed these questions previously, but —
1. You mentioned the other day you thought Obama wasn’t doing a good job as president. Why do you feel that way? Is there another politician who’s views you feel are more aligned with your own?
2. Do you have a husband/boyfriend or any children?
3. As popular as your blog is, is it at all lucrative? Or is this just something you do for fun/little extra money on the side?
I know these are all really personal questions so I’ll understand if you don’t want to answer!
1. You mentioned the other day you thought Obama wasn’t doing a good job as president. Why do you feel that way? Is there another politician who’s views you feel are more aligned with your own?
As a Georgian, my favorite president has always been Jimmy Carter. I Adore him and his politics in the Middle East. I hate how he gets tagged as a bad president. I’m grateful to Obama for taking over the role.
I think all politicians are imperfect. But we may not make it through his term without terrorist action in this country.
2. Do you have a husband/boyfriend or any children?
No Know anyone? I’d just like a weekly visit where they fuck the shit out out me an leave. I can’t witlh all the bullshit at this point.
3. As popular as your blog is, is it at all lucrative? Or is this just something you do for fun/little extra money on the side?
lol Do you really think I would be here all day if it was not my job? This is my first day off in EONS. I’m having an upswing because people think I want Marchese dead. It’s like a huge thing. As in I don’t have to write today because my views were met three days ago. 🙂
Is it at all lucrative? LOL nah. Millions of views a month doesn’t make much.
I know these are all really personal questions so I’ll understand if you don’t want to answer!
I always answer!
Isn’t there like a straight people Grindr app you could use? The times I spend with my single friends is usually dominated with discussions on which dick pic is the most artistic, and then they disappear on me for an hour.
Micheal:
Yeah, it’s called Tinder.
Not that I’ve ever used it myself or anything.
Do you think Joe Guidice will get deported?
I was drinking coffee and opening my eyes when i heard on the news, a NJ man was attacked by a bear. I was hoping it was Jim Marchese. I was really sorry that it was a young college student and he died. That was terrible. But i was still sorry it wasn’t Jim.
Joe will not get deported.
And people will now start saying you are threatening to kill Marchese.
People need to get a grip. A death THREAT is a threat to kill someone. No one could be bothered to do that.
Many of us would smile while reading his (or her) obituary though.
No I would never threaten Jim Marchese’s life. Come to think about it the poor bear would get food poisoning from eating said person.
He’s such a little shitweasel.
It goes to show what women are willing to do for money.

I know you said you don’t go out much, but when you do where is your favorite place to drink in Atlanta? Anywhere in the Smyrna/Vinings area?
Any predictions for the next season of RHBH in regards to alliances?
You should look into adjunct teaching online.
Thanks for your blog. I love it.
I live in Smynings. lol Heavy on the Smyrna part. I am a huge fan of South City Kitchen Vinings all thing Fifth group.
I never go out “drinking” unless I have a driver. Thus when I do get drunk I do it here. It’s safer.
I think RHOBH will be the season of BRANDI SUCKS and she will not handle it well.
I have not desire to teach online. I ADORE my students and if I can’t interact with them there is no point.
Thank you so much for answering my questions! I can walk to that South City from where I live…and I’m with you, can’t drink without a driver. And I’m a Brit, so when I drink I really drink. Always interested in where people like to hang out. I hope you are right about Brandi. So. Over. Her. Def understand what you mean about online teaching. That’s my job and I would rather be on ground too, but just thought as I know you don’t go out much that it might work for you. Selfishly would rather you just blog though!!! Thanks again for all you do.
I could almost stumble to SCK Vinings myself. We should meet for drinks. Do you have a good ins… oh nevermind. We should meet we could have ONE or maybe 2 drinks as SCK. Three if we eat. Four is we have a heavy dinner… lol.

I would love to go out for drinks….as long as a) I am paying and b) you are okay with the fact that I will be having at least 4. I think you have my e mail. Message me!!!
I’m so jealous. I want to go too.
I’m super jealous, too. I feel like I really am trying to be part of the cool kids, but I love on the wrong side of the tracks (or opposite corner of the country), so just just comment a lot and hope people might notice me… that was a pity party and no one was invited!
BH Wannabe, now that you’ve explained your modus operandi and the logic of your motivations so elequently, I doubt that’s there anyone who does not pity you.
GEEEEEZZZZ! Jim’s picture still keeps giving me the creeps when I come here for updates! Before teecee can say it, I know I should stop comming here if it freaks me out BUT I CAN’T HELP IT! Here’s 2 tokens back for just making a comment and not asking a question!
With whom (use pseudonym if necessary) did you end a relationship and later regret it?
No one. I always fight to the bitter end trying to save it.
I do feel bad about the one relationship I did have to end. He did not get it. He’s gay. If anyone knows gay it’s me. He denied while saying people always tell him that. It was sad in so many ways, I loved hanging out with him but neither of us was into the sex.
I don’t have an issue with running off with a gay man, but you better be Jolly Green Giant rich.
Jolly gay giant.
Have you read the recent stories (I’m guessing fake) about Phaedra trying to attack Kenya? And speaking of altercations has there been an IT fight that you may have heard of on the new RHOA season? Like Anguilla in S5 or Pillow Talk in S6…
Would be weird without one.
Please stop bringing up shit from other sites. Phaedra doesn’t leave her house.
And the big event will be Claudia slaying Nene in Puerto Rico. SO FAR.
Tamara –
Do you think you might go back to blogging RHoNY next season?
Now that Aviva has finally been
fired“not picked up” it shouldn’t bring up anyone’s “kicking a lame dog” issues.It’s my favorite edition of the RH franchise and I’ve missed reading your take on it!
I dunno. I am sort of irked about how they treated Aviva. But if she really is on Marriage Boot Camp… I have to be done defending her.
Yay! I didn’t mind Aviva and missed your viewpoint on the series. Someone has to agree with me that Carole is a boring shrew.
I agree that you’re a boring shrew.
I’m with you, Michael!
Who are your favorite fiction and non fiction writers? If we locked all the dance moms in a closet with all of the past and present house wives, for example Jill would be inincluded, which set would come out alive? Dance moms includes the moms of both teams, Peyton’ s mother, Leslie, plus the candy apple moms. Abby and Cathy would be bystanders.
I really like Maya Angelou. I went through this whole Female African American Writers kick when I got my Masters and a job at an HBC as “department chair” I wanted to be well versed in whatever literature discussions came my way. Um No one there was familiar. I swear half my library is signed works by AA females and porn.
But if I had to pick the most influential author on my life, It’s Flannery O’Conner.
If I had to bet money on the above scenario everyone’s head would be on a spike and Kenya would be covered in blood laughing her ass off.
Have you read Nora Neale Hurston’s autobiography? She is amazing. Now I have to go back and reread her fiction.
I could never get into Zora Neale Hurston. I don’t like all the dialect, I find it distracting.

Apollo. No question. I’m sure he’d be a good fuck, he would just need to triple wrap it. He got around in ATL, and Philly, ALLEGEDLY.

So what’s your secret tv/cable pleasure watching, that you don’t blog about? (I’m digging on outlander)
What’s your favorite nonblogging activity? (mine is playing taps at military funerals, gardening and seeing)
I know you’ve said that you live in the ghetto, are you planning on moving anytime soon?
Not to be too noisy, but I’m curious about your travels as a child. Where your parents in the military or scholars or missionaries or some occupation that allowed them to travel? Also I noticed you mentioned you lived in Libya once, are you of North African descent? My husband is from Sudan, Dafar more specifically, and hopefully one day I will get to go.
Gosh, it’s after midnight! Am I too late to be a part of the slumber party’esque Q & A session? There’s only one way to find out, ask the Q. 🙂
T.T. when’s your b-day, or what’s your sun sign? If you know your moon and ASC too, do share. I’ll give you a free mini-reading, if you like.
Happy New Moon in Libra, y’all. <3
So Andy has first right of refusal for Teresa’s post-sentencing first interview, right? Do you think it will even be worth watching? I can’t imagine that anything she says will be true. I’d love an interview with her under some sort of truth serum sedation. That would be amazing. As it is I just figure she’ll play the victim. Thoughts?
P.S. I love sending people to your blog! They always write me back and say “HOLY CRAP how does she KNOW all of this stuff??” 😀
After she is sentenced, she wont need to be so careful about her words, so maybe she will be a bit honest and discuss the details she is avoiding now. However, this is unlikely and someone who struggles to communicate at times like Tre will probably just answer the easy questions.
Why am I always in agreement with you?
She won’t need to be careful so she will just lie more.
Her lawyer will continue to tell her to keep her mouth shut. She isnt off the hook even with the deal and sentencing.
Morning y’all. It was fun to take the day off and hang out and drink a beer or six with y’all yesterday, but today it is back to work. I won’t be able to answer any more questions. Save them until next time. We do these sorts of posts from time to time. 🙂 Thanks for all the fun questions!

4. If you could get rid of one state (remove from the Union), which state would you remove and why?
5. If you could eliminate one person from this world (besides Jim), who would you get rid of?
6. If you won $10 million in the lottery, how would you spend it?
7. Last question: If you could eliminate one disease, which would you eliminate and why?
Aghhh, I thought of one more questions. Do you like Nancy Grace (random, I know)?
I am way late to this party but here goes…….Have you spent any time in Prague? I have a special relationship to that city, a magical place I once lived in.
Is law school still on?
Am I your favourite gay aussie?
Will you let me get drunk at your house on boxed wine if I ever manage to make it to Atlanta?
Is it time I replace my twitter picture with something less cute?
(I hope you enjoyed your night, I’m sad I missed the party).
Are you me or am I you? Big shout out to everyone not commenting because I’m here. ATCV!!!! Hahahah.
I love when you’re here, you’re the baddest, funniest cunt in the satchel!
I’m a teecee fan. Love those she so easily provokes!
I realize the window may already be closed, but: I’ve not seen an explanation as to why Jim Marchese was awarded custody of his son from a previous marriage.
My question is just a simple request kinda…. Can you venture to savannah so we can drink some boxed wine?
How do you become so close with Asa?
I just read you are closed down but may I suggest a show Rectify. it is on Sundance. I do not get that channel but the first season is on netflix. It is amazing and takes place in GA. I think you would love it it would be a fictional sidebar recap.
No question Lady T, just wanted to show you some love. I don’t post often but whenever I do you always show me love and I appreciate it. Even if I ask questions or post “tea” you already posted! LOL
Thanks for being so cool and sharing your wit and fabulousness with us all
(Peace)
