Obsessed with Pretty Wicked Moms

Oh this show! This show this show this show! A dear friend texted me a couple of weeks ago and told me about this new show on Lifetime; Pretty Wicked Moms. Now, this same friend is the oracle of awesome shows and she is the one who originally turned me onto Real Housewives. For a few years this franchise was my crack. It showed women in different cities living a life of luxury, rocking rock hard bodies, wearing to die for couture and every once in a while, having meltdowns and/or flipping tables and it was good... so very good. But the past few seasons (the Real Housewives of O.C., Beverly Hills and New Jersey)  have lost their appeal. Suddenly they all went to a dark place; bankruptcy, divorce, suicide, addiction and friendships and families being torn apart. No bueno. Not good. No thank you. Nein danke. See, the thing about the Real Housewives when it first came out was that it was like this portal into another world; into a world of luxury and canary diamonds. It was an escape for me and it was fun. Now in every city, it is just a bunch of women acting like harpies and being well, for lack of better term, bitches. I'm officially done. And so I burn sage within my soul and say buh bye Real Housewives. It was fun but you've changed. (I reserve the right to still watch Real Housewives of Miami off and on because Mama Elsa is awesome).

So where does that leave me now? A blog dedicated to looking like a Real Housewife? Has it lost its purpose? Oh non non, mon frere. Pretty Wicked Moms has now filled that spot and I am ecstatic. And now I have a Southern accent everytime I watch an episode. Bless my heart.

The show takes place in Atlanta, Georgia and the cast is:

The Queen Bee - Emily
The Doggy Mom - Nicole
The Southern Belle - Miranda
The Alpha Mom - Nicole B.
The Newbie - Meredith
The Divorcee - Marci



They are all moms save for Nicole the Doggy Mom and it is epic. I love this show because a) these ladies are hilarious b) I can use them as my litmus test for parenting and c) I have a total crush on the South. Also, what I like about the show is that it isn't dark. There's some cattiness off screen but for the most part, they are all pretty polite to each other and that just seems a whole lot more normal. My two faves are Nicole and Emily (the so-called villains) because they are absolutely laugh out loud funny. I'm kind of smitten, to be honest. I just hope it gets picked up for a second season!

A Key Word Post

I didn't have anything specific to post tonight because nothing terribly exciting happened over the weekend. Which is actually a good thing. That means it was a chillaxed weekend with no need to look up divorce lawyers or boarding schools for toddlers. So, that means that I will write things based on some key words... long story short, lots of short stories. So here we go! The daycare: This morning was my morning to bring the Kid. By 8 he was in his coat and shoes and I was in my fake fur vest and heels. We headed out and rounded the corner and walked through the front gate. He jumped out of his stroller and headed to the front door. It was locked. I tried a couple times to open it and the Kid started to whine. One of the providers came to the door and explained the daycare was closed for the day. Apparently it was staff development day and someone (the Husband) did not see the signs up last week that they were closed today. I apologized and tried to call the Husband while tryi

A Tova Movie Re-cap: Bram Stoker's Dracula

You all like that I am reviewing films that are over 20 years old, right? I'm like Grandpa Simpson. Today's post is a re-cap of one of my all time favourite Halloween movies EVER. And it isn't just a Halloween movie.. it is so much more. It is Francis Ford Coppola's Bram Stoker's Dracula. I remember exactly when I saw this film for the first time. We were at my Godmother's cottage in Quebec and my parents and I and my brother headed to the video store. I stood in front of this VHS cover and stared and stared (that's how I would let my parents know I wanted something back in the day. I was not allowed to beg for toys so in my brilliant infantile wisdom, I concocted a full proof plan. I would stand in front of a toy (probably a My Little Pony) and stare and stare and stare. I was subtle. I still do this today at jewelry stores.) I was 12 years old at the time and had graduated from being fascinated with witches to vampires. Puberty, guys. I was OBSESSED wi

The Way Some People Find my Blog and a Challenge

Image
Now, I am not sure why people read my blog. O.k., there are some reasons that people read my blog... they are interested in autism, they like my use of gifs, they are my friends and want to support me, sometimes I make them laugh, they want to see if they are mentioned in it, they live in Vienna and want to know where I go so they can avoid bumping into me... I don't have a sophisticated stat counter on my blog. The only thing I can really see is the number of page views, which countries those page views are coming from and what people search for and somehow end up on my blog. So I decided today to post the most common terms that bring people to my page. And some of them are amusing. Pros and cons to living in Vienna : This one is pretty understandable. I did a whole "pros vs. cons" post a while ago. I think if I had to move to a new city I would most likely type in the same thing. As well as, "average price of alcohol".
