The latest episode of
The Real Housewives of New York City had some amusingly weird moments.
Alex and Simon (aka Silex) sitting on their stoop, I think that's what you call your front porch in New York City, was very strange as they stabbed at pumpkins with dangerously large knives, with there malnourished looking children, Francoise and Johann, helping.
Previous to the pumpkin carving, with the forewarning, from Alex, that she and Simon have no fear when it comes to fashion, we saw Alex get fitted with a burlap feed bag that she plans to wear to the opening of the opera. A very scary looking woman with blonde hair waxed poetic about the burlap bag. It all somehow reminded me of an
I Love Lucy episode set in Paris.
The majority of this episode focused on Halloween. And costumes. Or lack of costumes, in the case of Kelly and her paid escort, Max. I'll get to that later.
In the meantime, back to Silex. I have to retract something. Previously I said I thought they were creepy. I'm not thinking that so much anymore. I'll go with 'different.' I think a lot of their antics are done on purpose, because they know it's making good TV. They really are not stupid people, just 'different,' But, I still think they need to change those kid's names before they get beat up in school.
So, Kelly, who it is increasingly becoming clear has some serious mental health issues going on and it's equally clear that it was totally obvious to the producers of this show that Kelly would provide a lot of good material, was really over the top ridiculous this episode.
This episode Kelly hosted a really, really tacky Halloween Party, to which she was willing to attach her name, unlike Jill's arthritis charity. Apparently pretty much anyone could get an invite to Kelly's Halloween Party. Indian Countess Luann remarked, well, I think it was her, that the party group looked like a bunch of "frat boys."
All the Housewives were appalled, with the most appalled seeming to be Bethenny. Who was on roller blades, due to being Roller Blade Girl. I think from the movie, Boogie Nights. What Roller Girl seemed most annoyed and appalled about was that Kelly's cheap party had a cash bar.
But the thing that got the Housewives most wound up was the fact that Kelly was not there at her own party to greet them. The Housewives showed up slightly fashionable late. An hour later, still no Kelly.
They were feeling uncomfortable being among the strange crowd, none of whom they knew. And so the Housewives left, with Bethenny leading the way and doing a very funny dismissing dissection of Kelly's latest bad behavior. And then rolled down the street on her roller blades.
Did Bethenny roller blade all the way home. She seems very good at saving money. Taxis are expensive in New York City.
Simon and Alex came to the Kelly Party as Sarah Palin and a moose. Bethenny did not get it til later. She thought Silex was being some sort of Bullwinkle thing, I guess with Alex being Natasha. Alex made a pretty good Sarah Palin.
Here we see Roller Girl and Luann in full umbrage mode over Kelly's bad manners. Luann did not come to the Halloween Party in a costume. She came as a Native American. Since Luann is an American Indian, I did not think her dressing as one qualified as a costume. Had she come as a Countess that would have seem more Halloweeny to me.
But, coming as a Native American was a much much better plan than Kelly's costume. I've been embarrassed for this girl before, but this was the worst.
On the last day of October, on what had to be a cold night in New York City, Kelly and her paid escort, Max were mostly naked. I don't know what they were supposed to be. Tarzan and Jane? Kelly said she would have been less conservative, but she has kids, so she has to tone it down. The disturbing thing about mostly naked Max was this huge scar he has on his abdominal zone. He is Argentinian. Did he get gored in a bullfight?
According to the Bravo website, the New York Housewives taped their reunion show this past week. The taping went on for hours and apparently the majority of it was yelling at Kelly. It airs in early May. Should make for some good train wreck TV entertainment.
The Housewive's Blogs are funny, as usual, this week, with Kelly's, predictably, seeming delusional.
Last night I watched the Obama news conference and then turned off the TV. I let the DVR take care of watching American Idol and LOST for me.
