The Milwaukee trip continues with Laverne and Shirley being heavily referenced. Heather presents monogrammed sweaters to Whitney.
Still think they should have gone with Bridesmaids instead of Laverne and Shirley from 100 years ago.
Yes, some of Bridesmaids was shot in Milwaukee. I doubt if any of Laverne and Shirley was actually filmed there. So there!!
A tour of the Miller Brewing Factory is on tap for today. Ha ha get it??
Followed by dinner at the Harley Davidson Museum, which sounds strange that they serve dinner there. Probably a Housewives exception.
Whitney has decided for this episode that she’s a biker chick. When did that happen?
And then, of course, followed by the drag show. Which spoiler alert, but I’m sure you’ve must’ve seen it by now since I’m like a year behind Lisa does not get all weirded like last year. Production probably told her to knock it off. She sort of looks like she has a fake smile plastered on her face.
I want to make a comment about the ladies bringing glam on the trip, not that you asked.
I don’t consider the ones that bring glam versus the ones that don’t bring as the ladies with more money than the non-glam people. I kind of look at it that the self-glammers could afford it but think it’s a waste of money.
Bravo does not pay for their glam. So they’re paying for two sometimes three people fly to the destinations and pay their accommodations just to do their make up and hair to go to casual events.
They’re going to a beer factory and a Harley Museum but you need your makeup and hair professionally done? I think the non-glam people look at that as a complete and total waste of time money and resources when they can easily do their own hair and make up. Also, I’ve noticed that the glam people are usually the ladies that have a need to keep up certain appearance as the non-glam crewers don’t really give a fuck.
Anyway, back to this. My mind wondered because this scene was a yawn fest of Lisa getting her makeup done as she lounges casually leaning in a chair similar to how Bronwyn was chilling while her ladies-in-waiting fussed over her hair and face. I’ve never seen them sit this before.
She and Meredith gossip about things Angie and Whitney said.
So we’re talking about Whitney‘s buying her jewelry for her site off of a chintzy wholesale site. I just don’t get why this is a thing and why anybody is surprised. Did we think Whitney was down in her basement with her tools crafting custom jewelry?
No, she simply hired people to buy shit off of this horrible ‘Alibaba,’ which is a chintzy wholesale site that sells absolutely anything you can even imagine, and she’s slapping her name on it. It’s the Housewife way.
Here is her site if you wanted to take a look. Also I recall her introducing some ‘designer’ last season when she had the stupid ‘launch’ event they always have. So now she’s admitted she’s just buying it from factories in India and China??
Sounds like a scam. What happened to her skin care line? She doesn’t even talk about it anymore. It was probably purchased from Alibaba as well. They have what looks like the Retinol and Collage creams in TJ Maxx for $6.99.
I was cracking up because she has a little blurb on all of the product listings about how they’re ‘curated’ and made in China.
“Designed and Made in China – Our Fashion Jewelry is a curated collection (not designed in house) of classic basics and current trends, made from stainless steel.”
She probably added those blurbs right after that episode aired.
Heather struggles whether she should tell Whitney about how it’s been discovered that her so-called designs” are from a cheap Chinese wholesale website. She had to know it would be discovered at some point. I just don’t really think she cares because it’s not like this is any type of passionate endeavor. It’s just a way to make more money out of being a Housewife. We have no morals, we have no enthusiasm, we have no talent, we have no work ethic. We just have ‘here you go buy it, because I’m Whitney bitch.’
I’m not wrong.
Heather is making it this huge drama which is so excruciatingly annoying. “Should I tell her?? This is going to ruiiiiiiiiiiiiiin her!”
What ever shall we do? She seems like she’s enjoying this.
Lisa declines on the Miller Beer trip. Whitney is mad. She’s made other plans and has enlisted Merile and Britany as her posse
Housewives no like it when someone dares to deflect from the strict schedule of planned activities on a Housewife trip.
“I’m gonna pass” Lisa smugly tells her as glam girl continues to dab blush on her cheek that looks like already has plenty of blush. Her makeup looks no further along then when she was talking to Meredith.
She won’t even look Whitney in the eye.
******
Angie complains in the van about Lisa.
Lisa’s activity is kind of lame. The guy there tells Lisa the beer caves were probably the better choice.
The beer caves are actual caves that were made before refrigeration to keep the beer cold.
Mary claims to never have had a beer in her entire life. The dude repeats the ‘Champagne of Beers’ slogan and Mary seems impressed by that and really thinks Miller is an upscale bougie beer.
Britani makes excuses for this fucking lurch potato head dude explaining that they were on a break when he was sending suggestive messages to ‘the brow girl.’
Lisa calls him a ‘D-list Osmond, like who the fuck cares!” A to the men Lisa Barlow!
Not Mary telling the Jeffrey Dahmer story to two 25-year-old’s in the Miller cave.
\Heather and Whitney stay behind the group and Heather promptly brings up the jewelry discovery.
Whitney gets all worked up over this as we might have expected. Really don’t think Meredith is “jealous of her jewelry business.”
Perhaps Meredith is being a little messy for the purpose of the show by calling her out on her products being fucking overpriced cheap generic shit. All of which are true so she should lose this shock factor.
Whitney decides to bring up the “you’re talking about my business” on the way to the Harley Davidson dinner.
I feel like it’s a joke and even saying “my business” seems exaggerated.
Not sure how she’s denying the Alibaba thing when there’s the exact very unique necklace shown as being sold on the site wholesale for a song.
I suppose it’s possible that the wholesaler she bought it off bought it from this dreaded site. I didn’t even know this site existed, and now I’ve said it like 13 times. Who cares where she gets her crappy jewelry? I’m not planning on buying it, are you? Didn’t think so.
Whitney accuses Meredith of talking to all of the girls about it when she really just mentioned it to Heather.
They tour the Harley factory and meet an actual Davidson descendant. Whitney of course acts all fake star struck and has to give this dude a hug. She’s such a ho.
You can cut the tension with a knife as they sit down to break bread in the Harley museum.
She hands out ‘her’ jewelry to everybody calling them custom designs. Well, this is awkward. I thought they were not custom designs. I thought they were from ‘curated suppliers’ or whatever the hell.
\Whitney scolds Meredith, about not calling her immediately about the jewelry chatter.
Lisa and Angie get into it all riled up, and Lisa starts screaming like a lunatic as per usual and pointing her long bony finger at everyone.
Okay that’s done I guess. The SLC ladies, I’m starting to feel are the kookiest of all of the franchises. The way they dress, the way they act is so off.
This fucking Britani ding dong clinks her glass and makes yet another ‘announcement.’
I don’t know why every time she talks about potato head she has to make it like a formal announcement. It’s so bizarre. Who cares – we don’t even know her nor Lurch. So claims they’re now ‘officially’ broken up even though they were never officially a couple.
She claimed she had an epiphany, but apparently she has a lot of those. It’s so funny how since she’s been ignoring him, he’s calling her nonstop. So typical of a certain type of person.
They joke about how he likes to ride the Osmond train and make sure everybody knows it. What’s he do? Can he sing?? Is he getting allowance like Southern Charm Shep and someone else I know?
I don’t know that I knew the Osmonds were Mormons.
Bronwyn wants her to admit she’s just into them because of the name, and she tells her to worry about her own relationship.
A valid question, although is Bronwyn one that should be asking it? She married a big money successful guy that is 30 years older. Did his extreme nerdiness turn you on or did his bank account turn you on?
She asks her if she’s still attracted to him. Who asks a woman that?
Britani accusing Bronwyn of being a gold digger is kind of funny, and seems like a little bit of projection.
Whitney has to get in on this because she loves to brag how much younger she is than Justin and “his oldest is five years younger than her…” Apparently Justin had a few dollars when they got together from his MLM schemey company he worked for, so Whitney has to make this about her and AGAIN announce their age difference.
Bronwyn and her husband have no prenup and I don’t really know if that’s interesting. I’m assuming they’re going to probably break up at some point here if she remains a housewife and I don’t really care who gets what.
They head to the drag show and Lisa is as I mentioned earlier doing a really good job of acting like she’ into it when we know she’s not. Whatever, I’d rather see her pretending over the way she acted last season.
Like get the stick out of your asshole Lisa, it’s not that big of a deal.
Bronwyn dresses like a hot dog and makes sure she lets us know that it’s couture.
Despite the cold Whitney toughs it out and walks into the sprinter van and a very short strapless dress because she’s Whitney and that’s what she does.
It’s a little disturbing that she was into drag queens when she was a little kid. But she’s Whitney.
