(I just posted this under last week's comments by accident... it refers to some snarky comments about your modeling career and your audacious tiptoeing into controversial politics. Harumph.)

Oh Leia where've you been all my life? I was an intermittant viewer of Housewives until I stumbled upon this site. I've now read all your recaps and may even have to start watching the damn show just so I don't miss a silly little millimeter of your nuanced wit.

I was gonna tell you about my real-life NFL boyfriend (wayyy back in the day), but I'm afraid it will make everyone too jealous. I know YOU can handle being jealous but I'm worried about some of your readers.

So tell me, are you still thin and gorgeous? If so, you can count me in with all the other haters.... but if not, then my nascent love for you can continue to blossom.

One more thing, please don't ever hesitate to mention vile right-wing homophobic Christian nutcases. I need it, just to keep me on track. Otherwise I might find myself slipping into right-wing homophobic Christian nuttiness. (I hear it's going around.) You're performing a public service.

I like NeNe’s new hard-nosed line with her kid. However, I feel it’s too little, too late stating "He's been given too much,” considering last year, she asked the dorm advisor if she could re-decorate the dorm for her son and told him to buy whatever he wanted.

I love when Kim arrived, the designer went into full on hoover mode i.e. complimenting K’s circa 1980s outfit. towards Clearly, this woman knows it’s the parent’s vanity and not the child’s likes that sells her clothes.

Why is kandi working on the song for Kim (as opposed to Kim herself), especially since she had not heard Kim’s voice? Who leaked the remake of Tardy for the summer?

Finally, I feel Kim is channeling NeNe’s unintentional irony from last week. In one scene, she claims her " girlfriends wanna be" her, but in the next she admits NeNe mocked her. In fact, didn’t she admit in interviews that all of the housewives mocked her wigs? And, sure, last year, NeNe rocked the hairpiece, but this year, she’s toning down.

Although I don’t understand why people without talent, let alone fame, want to convince us to dress like them, based on the photo I saw at AccessAtlanta's Fashion Project site with a page featuring screenshots from the show, I liked what Lisa’s designer did and the models looked fierce, so, what is up with Sheree. Note: She created a website for her designs. Unsurprisingly, the site is under construction.

Oh, Sheree. What a bitter, jealous woman. Coming to the fashion show after it was over was SOOOooo obviously done out of spite. And I remember being surprised at what she wore. What was it? Corduroy pants and a zip up sweater jacket? Sheree's outfit was appropriate for running errands, not for a school concert OR a fashion show.

And NeNe's behavior at Kim's was embarrassing to watch. The looks on all the other women's face were priceless. She tried to cover it up, but even NeNe knew she had gone too far!

Why do I find these women so much more interesting than the "Housewives" from other cities/states? For one thing, it seems to me that they do more interesting things.

Oh, and Ed, of course. Please, more than ONE picture next time!

Okay - I've only read the 1st paragraph of this, but I am cracking up - did you add extra bolded words because of the comment someone made on your Melrose recap? If so, I love you even more!

Good Job as always Leia, I swear I be waiting ainxiously for for your housewives recaps.

I never really watched any Housewives but this one really caught my attention and now I can't stop watching it. Sheree knows she did that on purpose saying she had to go to her son's recital. Besides the 1st episode Sheree hasn't even mentioned her children at least the other housewives actually talk about them.

Yes I still love Nene - I think Nene cause she was the favorite last season she is getting a little big headed but she's still my favorite next to Kandi. Nene's husband Gregg and son Bricen are so cool and calm wonders how they handle crazy ass Nene on a daily basis.

LL, Your Kim-captions are The Best!!

It seems like Kim has gotten even more vulgar this season; how is that humanly possible? Her poor kids. Was she really a nurse, or did she just play one in some amateur porn vid?

NeNe seems to be taking herself (and faux-celebrity) too seriously, and/or taking direction from the producers too readily. I'll love her as long as she keeps slamming Kim, though.

Sheree is entirely unlikable. Why do I watch this show??

Hey Leia, I'm with you on the "what's up with the Dwight unsolicited fashion advice". You know he's bucking for a show, and Bravo being Bravo, will bite.

And wasn't that Kim's alleged bff, Cory(Kori?) in the Sally Kirkland photo? Did you see the dress she had on, with her surgery free tittay's drooping all about? This must be where Kim gets the idea that her gf's want to be her.

I'm digging Kandi too! If she can do something with Kim's song, lawd chile, she should get a Grammy.

Can't wait for your recap next week of those delicious looking fudge pops.

By the by, Sheree just came out with a new line which dlisted featured. I guess Lisa's success gave her a kick in the pants -

Love you Leia!! Your picture captions kill me. What is up with Kim's boobs? Have they gotten bigger since last season? I didn't think that would be possible, but it sure looks like it to me. Her daughter is going to be a spoiled monster to rival Theresa's kids (from RHONJ)

I'm glad to see Lisa & Sheree mix it up now. It was getting a little tedious just watching everyone hate Kim. Been there, done that, Real Housewives. And what is with Lisa saying "she" has a clothing line? It is really the designer's, isn't it? And by the way, why don't these "designers" like Sheree and Lisa have all the clothes made FIRST, then plan the show??? Why all this rushing at the last minute?

Dwight is nauseating. STFU and watch the show. Good for Lisa for standing up to him. I do agree with Sheree's mean friend though, Lisa needs a hairstyle bad. It looked terrible. WTF was going on the back of her head?

I just bought Tardy for the Party on iTunes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I thought Kim's daughter was cute when shopping, yes spoiled ridiculous, but she's charming!
She said she didn't want to look like the 1900's - and she wasn't lyin'. Did you see the dress, very prarie(?)-like.

If Kim was ever a nurse, then I’m definitely a former NASA rocket scientist. This stupid bitch went to the ‘Beauty Academy’ to learn about wigs, and could not understand how the curling iron works, nor how to hold it. After the explanation from the instructor which an idiot would comprehend, she declared she was CONFUSED by the whole incredible engineering complexity of the time-space curving event known as hair curling.
Now she wants us to believe anyone would allow her near patients with sharp objects? I’d worry she’d puncture her balloons and flood the hospital each time she tried to handle a syringe, as she might start looking it over, up and down, trying to figure out what to do with it and where to stick it (I might have a comment on that too, but even my tongue has limits to the nastiness it will spew in public). I think I figured it out finally: she probably worked as a ‘waitress’ or maybe a cleaning lady (I do not believe she could ever swing being a nurse’s aid let alone an RN) at some HOSPICE, where she was hunting for some early elderly Big Poppa to take care of her and her kids. Actually I do not see how she could have ever even finished high school. Understand – I have nothing against people not finishing HS. It’s everyone’s right to choose how to harden your life for yourself, but be fricking honest about it. Hey, Kim: SHUT THE F*&K UP YOU STUPID BITCH!!! Nurse my a*s!!!

Now on to Sheree and her suffocating jealousy of Lisa and her ‘fashion line’....Actually, I just need a minute,.... ROTFLMAO, LOLOLOLOLOLO. OK, sorry, had to get that out of my system.
When She by S said that Mercedes wanted ‘the hottest fashion designer in Atlanta – ME!!!!!’ I honestly choked on just air. I might have died. That bitch would have finally killed someone for real! Thank God I remembered that if Kim can be a nurse, I can definitely give myself a Heimlich maneuver and dislodge the obstruction. I realized it was not ordinary air at all – it was the hot air Sheree’s so full of. Why on earth she sees any difference between her way of ‘designing’ clothes and Lisa’s? I must be not fashionable enough to understand. I’m sure it’s some sophisticated shit only goddess Sheree can produce. Lord, she is one truly DELUSIONAL Bitch!!!

Nene – you’re so proud of saying everything like it is. So, if you are size 10 then I must be negative 7 or maybe 293 degrees (sic) . I had no idea she had so much hatred in her which she’s shown at Kim’s party. That was so, so out of line. I think Nene’s behavior that night trumps anything Kim might have said about her last season. Let’s see if she’s as forthcoming with an apology to Kim, as she was with the demand of it herself last year.

I love how Kim thinks that the money grows on trees and will just start dropping off and falling at her feet the moment she has a new wig line! Hahahahahahahahaa. She made me cry when she said “I’ll get a new wig on, walk (wha ???) around Atlanta, people will FRICK OUT, and I won’t even have to advertise’. Yeah, like every stupid ho out there just needs to find some more stupid hos who want to look like her, and her road to riches will be paved in gold...Oh, and did you catch the PRICE of the wig the ‘boy/girlfriend’ was showing Kim - $ 1500 !!!!! Who in their right mind would spend this amount on a hair piece?!?!?!? Is Atlanta in some parallel universe where $ 1500 is an acceptable sum to pay for such crap????? Oh, boy! This Dumbo should be the winner of the BIGGEST (snicker!) MORON on RealityTV Ever Award.
As to her child, Ariana, I hate to hate on kids, but for the love of God, cut out the crappy fast food. Same goes to the older one, Brielle. The kids are already spoiled rotten, so they can’t depend on their ‘personality’ to find their own Big Poppas any time soon, and now you’re robbing them of any external beauty they might be able to use to that effect. You’re HANDICAPPING them!!! Seriously, they don’t need to be overweight by the time they’re 10, and diabetic at 12! This bitch of a mother should be shot for damaging her kids so badly – thru horrible food habits, no respect for hard, ZERO respect for money, and for teaching them by example how to earn your upkeep by sticking to the bottom of a shoe of some rich guy, no matter how temporarily.

She by Sheree gives me the creeps! This woman is so vile, so dirty, so hateful and condescending, when she opens her mouth nothing but filth comes out, every other word is ‘Motherfuc$@r’ this or that. I can’t imagine how her husband could stand being married to her for however long it was. It is painfully clear that she is a USER, she knows only how to TAKE, and her opinion of herself is SO DELUSIONAL she should really be in the loony asylum. Oh, well, one can always hope...

I almost got busted reading this at work becuz I could not hold in my guffaws at the following:

Your screencap with the Flashdance comment

The comment about Sheree's party planner coming out of the big closet at the fashion show LMAO

I also noticed Kim smoking in that pic where she's holding the wig - I sure hope the ones she wears aren't synthetic becuz with the amt of smoking she does while drinking her wine & waving that thing all over the place her head is going to go up in flames!!!

On another note - if Lisa & Sheree would just treat each other like the true friends they are supposed to be maybe the would have come up with the idea to do a line together - with Lisa's supposed business sense & Sheree's supposed "designing talents" they may have come up with one "good" line.

So, wait Leia, you were a model, right??? You crack me up!! I always have so save the real housewives recaps for work so I can take a break from the reality of my job and laugh!!

No one has answered my question from last week yet.... who is the father of Kim's daughters??? Were is he when it comes to her awesome eating habits??? We should be happy she just doesn't feed the girls wine for dinner yet.

OMG and I have to mention Kims barely nipple covering shirt in her interviews this week. I was mesmorized by them and had to rewind that portion I don't know how many times. How does she not tip over when walking? Nene is always wearing the shirts that show a bit much. Kim appearantly felt she needed to up the competition on that! Wow!

Hah! Renata pretty much summed it all up for me. Except, I also that Nene's hatoraide towards Kim was horrible - oh, and she has the same attitude towards Candy - always talking shit about her.

I'm sorry to all you Nene lovers, but she is acting extremely jealous of the other wives this year too.

Honestly, Kim is the only one who isn't just plain ugly when she's talking about the other housewives. Of course, why should she hate anyone, when she has her hot ass husband to make her feel better. Out of all the wives, she has it the SWEETEST.

With friends like them, who the hell needs enemies.

Great recap Leia, you have such a great gift for captioning, I'm sure it comes to you much easier than it does to me. I dunno if anybody else already saw this or not, but apparently Kandi and the Baba-Mama-Drama-Magnet-AJ are already dunzo! She claims "hiatus" in an interview with Essence magazine! And she's stuck taking care of two of HIS kids! Girl, that ain't right, y'all.

love, J-Mo :)

These comments are killing me! lol Ohionancy, that would be a good idea if Lisa and Sheree came together to work on a fashion line but seriously these women are not good friends and this is Sheree were talking about it should be called "Me by Sheree!"

Renata pretty much said it all and I agree with you on Kim's daughter Ariana. I'm not trying to talk about her but considering how Ariana looks she needs to lay off the fast food.

J-Mo, I did hear about Kandi calling it off with AJ and raising his kids. As awesome as Kandi is that's not right and I don't know if anyone else would've done that especially not the other housewives. Well at least Kandi for sure will be back with all this baby mama drama and Kandi ain't even the baby mama and she taking care of his babies!

Oh my, Kandi. Her meanie of a mom was right afterall. Welcome to a lifetime of I told ya so's. You will never hear the end of it from your momma.

I can not believe the woman who WROTE "No Scrubs" (a classic, by the way) - stuck herself with the King of Scrubs.

Kandi - I wanted better for you!

Leia, I hope you see this post. Dang it! I can't post the link! But, if you go to the Bravo site, go to videos, there's a webisode that centers around Ed - getting fitted for his white linen suit. You will LOVE it. And, wait for the end - you'll never look at an elephant the same way.
