Over at Sheree's, there's a band! Lisa tells us that it's a Hollywood party. There's also someone I'm pretty sure is a pimp. I am not kidding you, full on pimp gear. Lisa's very interested in seeing what Sheree's wearing. Lisa's definitely on Team Sheree. Good to know. DeShawn also tells us that Sheree is very well connected, but DeShawn seems like the nice girl who's friends with everyone. "I'm just working the room," Sheree tell us. Good for you, Ms. Big Pants. At my parties, I let them to come to me, but perhaps at the talk of the town party, things are done differently.
Then, one of Sheree's paid gay guy friends offers to sing her a song. It pretty much follows the paid party line of "Sheree, you're so fucking fabulous with amazing style and an amazing booty." One of her friends sobs. Sheree interjects to tell us that she wanted her divorce so that she wouldn't be unhappy. Funny, cause I think Sheree's the most unhappy person I've ever seen on a reality show, and that's saying a whole lot.
Just here to collect my percent.
Over in Kimmie's Range Rover, she and NeNe are headed over to Sheree's from the Shell Station, and they're "fashionably late"....like an hour an a half. Sounds like an on time arrival to me. Told you I'd mesh with them. They get to the party, they get to the lady at the door with the guest list, Kimmie breezes in...but NeNe's name is nowhere to be found on the list. "Is there another page?" Kimmie asks faux-concerned. Really, there's nothing like a little scheadenfraude at the expense of a bestie, is there?
But no, there's no other page. And as we cut to commercial, a security guard asks for NeNe by name, and then asks her to come with him. Very ominous.
When we return from break, Kimmie tells us she's mortified for NeNe, which I may or may not believe. And then NeNe is out! She immediately starts yelling for the valet. "Valet, I'd like my car," she huffs. And on the cue of the Bravo executive producer, here comes PR Tiffany. "There's trouble at the door," she warns Sheree. What are the odds that it would be NeNe's name not on the list, Sheree faux-sighs. Meanwhile, out at the valet stand, NeNe yells about how she is sure that the omission was intentional.
PR Tiff sort of tries to shuttle Sheree outside to handle the NeNe crisis, but before that happens, Sheree must stop to compliment PR Tiff on her fake lashes. Priorities, dears. Off topic, but has anyone seem the Viktor & Rolf / Shu Uemura fake lashes in the cool case? Not for every day, but possible must haves. Anyway.
But we'll talk about my hair later.
Outside at the valet stand, NeNe doesn't know what's going on, but PR Tiff manages to escape Sheree's fake lash commemoration to tell NeNe that it was all one big oversight, and she is really wanted inside the hallowed doors of the talk of the town party. But NeNe isn't having it. NeNe was harassed, she tells us indignantly! PR Tiff is appropriately apologetic, but NeNe's done. Sheree is downstairs pretending to not be bothered by the drama outside, while secretly loving every minute of it. Lisa sucks up to Sheree. Interesting. Sheree says cattily that she heard there was yelling and cursing outside, but that's not what she wants for her talk of the town party. Sounds like it's bordering on riff-raff, and we know where Sheree stands on that.
Lisa says that while you hate that you have a friend who's having a hard time at the door of the talk of the town party, said party must nonetheless go on. NeNe stands outside at the valet dissing Sheree's security, talking about how Sheree's gates don't even work. Who's up for a road trip to Sheree's to test this theory out? Let me know.
"That's the whole point of having a staff and a team," sniffs governess connoisseur DeShawn. Kimmie reminds us that she always has NeNe's back. You better doll, NeNe is the one who introduced you to Sheree, remember? NeNe sure does. Nice girl DeShawn hopes that Sheree and NeNe can "get past this" - for the sake of the recaps, I've got to go the other way on that one.
And NeNe's with me. "There's no forgiveness," NeNe declares with finality. Right on! "I know this was done on purpose," NeNe continues. I hope this feud lasts forever.
So, final consensus from the family?

I'm a long-time fan, first time poster. Great recap! I was wondering if anyone was going to take on this hot mess!
I live in Atlanta and other than athletes, I don't know of many mainstream big-name celebrities living here besides Jermaine Dupree and Janet Jackson. Tyler Perry lives here too, but I'm not sure he really counts much yet, athough he's getting there. I'm sure I'm forgetting someone, and there are probably some that I'm not familiar with b/c I'm not too in tune with the Rap/R&B scene.
Thought I would also mention that Lisa's "unhappy marriage" was to none other than R&B singer Keith Sweat. Don't think he's had a hit in about 15-20 years, but again, R&B isn't really my thing. I think that was a pretty messy divorce, so I guess Lisa and Sheree have something to bond over.

oh man, I was praying that someone would recap this show.
Every time a new city/season comes on I swear I won't watch it and then I become addicted.
Fab recap, I'll look forward to the rest of the season even more now!

ChickBomb!! Thanks for recapping this show... I think I am in love with Nene already, even though it's only been 1 date. I will keep you posted on our progress.
Also, I think Big Papa could be Arthur Blank- he is ancient, he founded Home Depot and he is a gazillionaire. It could also be Larry King. (lol/gag)

Chickbomb I truly love you. New York Jews I can manage, but Atlanta is way out of my league. That being said, I'm going to love reading these.
Hugs,
Yenta

I live south of Atlanta. I have never been to one of Sheree's talk of the town parties. The last time I went thru Atlanta proper I was flipped off by a homeless guy. Thanks for showing me the humor in these crazy bitches cause when I first watched I was just irritated by them. Thats why I love reading recaps, they usually give me a "different" insight into the shows lol. Great recap chickbomb!

Does Sheree remind anyone else of The Lady Chablis from the movie "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil"?

These women are ridiculous. Sheree makes me want to kill myself, I will stick up for her though and say that her hair is not a weave, that's all her. Also Kim hair isn't technically a weave either, its a "piece," basically half a wig. The front is her hair while the wig starts a few inches back.
Anyways, besides Sheree I kind of like these women, in a "you don't make me claw my eyeballs out" kind of way. But, we'll see how I feel by the end of the season.

Oh my lord, Kim's dress looked like it was from a Scottish pimps & ho's party. I love how none of these women have an ounce of taste.

The word on the net is that Big Poppa is a guy named Lee Najjar who is a big commercial real estate developer. Apparently, he did all of the big outlet shopping malls in the southeast. And he's married too.

Chick,
First, thank you for making me smile about this show. I live in Atlanta, and have been nothing but pissed off since watching the first episode! Long story short, these ignant heffas don't represent me or my friends, and certainly not the Atlanta I have come to know and love. But you helped me find the beauty in such ignance! (And, no, I'm not misspelling that!)
Oh, and for the record, none of them actually lives in Atlanta; they all live north of Atlanta in the rich-rich suburbs.

I spent a 1/3 of my childhood in North ATL suburbs. There are plenty of celebs that live around there, but I don't know if they'd be well-known outside of the black community (we'll call 'em black-famous). Let's put it like this, most black celebs have at least one home in the metro ATL area. And I can't visit family there without running into a celeb, especially at this one particular high-end mall.
