<\/p>\n
This is So Chic, Very Chic, <\/em>PAPER\u2019s examination of Bravo\u2019s sprawling cohort of fashion obsessives. From haute couture to TJ Maxx, they\u2019ve literally worn it all. Sometimes they stunt, sometimes they turn the look, and sometimes they burn holes in retinas my ophthalmologist says might never heal.<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Does Beverly Hills have a Bed Bath & Beyond? Does it have a Bath & Body Works? I bring it up, if anyone\u2019s curious, because Kathy Hilton asked a mammogram technician if she was wearing \u201cBed, Bath and Beauty\u201d body spray while getting her boob smashed this week. The question was so ludicrous I spit my kombucha out, and then rewound, just to make sure I wasn\u2019t hallucinating from the Manic Panic vampire red dye setting in my hair.<\/p>\n Clearly, Kathy Hilton knows what Bed Bath & Beyond is. The weird trinkets around her house and infinitely growing mumu collection say as much. But she also knows Bath & Body Works enough to know what their body sprays smell like. Perhaps she even has a few of her own. I can imagine her sending some poor assistant out into the dark and stormy night to get the seasonal kind that smells like gingerbread pussies infused with vanilla and rainbow sprinkle cupcakes. What makes it funnier is the addition of the mammogram technician. Like to be smelling the nurse while she clinches your boob is a level of nosy petty rich bitch we watch the The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills<\/em> for. There\u2019s a lot of them this week!<\/p>\n Shall we?<\/p>\n Erika Jayne<\/strong><\/p>\n Little Miss Puss Puss is back, back, back again! Sorry, I\u2019ll stop talking like a RuPaul\u2019s Drag Race<\/em> random word generator. Like the last confessional we saw from her with the big gloves and tight little updo, this is about as fierce as it gets for Erika Jayne. And while that threshold has drastically plummeted since the cost to be her went down post-divorce, she\u2019s managed this new budget nicely! The hair is big, she\u2019s got claws on, the animal print is fun, and I like the corseting detail even if it\u2019s slightly off-kilter. She\u2019s doing Erika Jayne drag, a facsimile of her old self filtered through a bank account about a tenth of its original size.<\/p>\n As I pointed out earlier in the season, she\u2019s really leaned into daytime drag everywhere but the confessional booth. When she\u2019s sat in front of that green screen, out comes the corseting and sequins and big hoops and bigger hair. Out of the confessional booth, don\u2019t be surprised to see some roots showing, a sensible pantsuit, a blouse and maybe even a collared shirt with matte makeup setting spray. It\u2019s slightly jarring! And only adds to the realization that the illusion has been shattered. That said, I think I like her more like this?<\/p>\n Jennifer Tilly<\/strong><\/p>\n Jennifer has served camp fabulosity all season, so I\u2019m inclined to forgive this Lady Gothica misstep. It\u2019s totally fine for a cameo in a direct-to-streaming Beetlejuice 3<\/em>. Threetlejuice<\/em>, if I may. But it is not fine for this confessional booth as a \u201cfriend of\u201d with more money than God, or more money than Kathy Hilton has Bath & Body Works candles. I love you Jennifer! Maybe if there was a mink stole or crown or mask. <\/p>\n Bozoma Saint John<\/strong><\/p>\n I\u2019m slightly confused about this look, even if I somewhat like whatever it is I\u2019m looking at. Maybe it\u2019s a top or even a dress, but does it only cover one boob? Is there a big ruffle in the center that shifted right and her hair luckily covered up the now exposed tit? Was it designed to only cover one tit? Is there a teensy little strap covering the other tit obscured by her hair? And is the lace or mesh underlay part of the dress or layered? I like it! Maybe?<\/p>\n Later in the episode, she dons a big fur coat and makes Sutton question her entire life and choices. The tinsel in the coat makes it look cheap, even though I\u2019m sure it\u2019s worth more than I made while calculating the distance from Kathy Hilton\u2019s house to the nearest Bed Bath & Beyond.<\/p>\n Dorit Kemsley<\/strong><\/p>\n The red dye in my hair is breaching through my cranium now and corroding my logic processing center. That\u2019s probably not a real part of the brain either, which illustrates how close I was to photoshopping her into a picture of David Byrne and his big suit. Also, when did the women of the The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills<\/em> start wearing stiletto nails specifically? Well, women like Dorit specifically.<\/p>\n Also, trend alert! The Real Housewives<\/em>‘ next big thing is black ruched clothing. From Lady Gaga\u2019s Mayhem<\/em> to Boz\u2019s titty bib, here comes Dorit with a 5-foot wingspan and Prince Albert piercing earrings.<\/p>\n No, seriously! She\u2019s wearing Prince Albert piercings as earrings in just about every scene post-divorce. Where could she possibly have found them? Is there some poor troupe of Pottery Barn and FedEx employees out and about in WeHo that she robbed for them?<\/p>\n Garcelle Beauvais<\/strong><\/p>\n There\u2019s a very specific cut of the shoulder that women on The Real Housewives<\/em> love. Well, a few: cold shoulders, puffy sleeves and padded-shoulders without pads. Garcelle especially loves the latter, almost exclusively appearing in the most severely tailored dresses I\u2019ve ever seen in my entire life. This color is radiant on her, and the hair color really works. (It always really works.) Her glam is soft and radiant, and her titties are sitting in the ways titties generally sit. But in the background are the damn shoulders on this dress, looming over both of us like the towering stack of Bed Bath & Beyond coupons Kathy Hilton was nearly crushed under last week. Do you see the way the cut is so severe that the sleeve actually pulls underneath the shoulder itself? I could honestly die if I think about it a moment longer.<\/p>\n Kathy Hilton<\/strong><\/p>\n Speaking of Kathy Hilton, the brand ambassador for vanilla jasmine cotton laundry peppermint sea breeze Bath & Body Works body sprays wore the other kind of shoulder cut this week: puffy sleeves. And let\u2019s not ignore that it\u2019s also a gauzy button-up in a strange color with a questionable amount of clashing accessories and a half bundle clipped into the back of her head. <\/p>\n Remember how she\u2019s supposed to be the richest one on this show? Yeah, the 1 percent are not rocking archival Dolce & Gabbana from the \u201890s or leather catsuits or couture in the confessional booth. They\u2019re wearing this, and they bought it for $16.99 from TJ Maxx.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Photos courtesy of Bravo\/NBCUniversal<\/em><\/p>\n <\/br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This is So Chic, Very Chic, PAPER\u2019s examination of Bravo\u2019s sprawling cohort of fashion obsessives….<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":674,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[12],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/prosperitywithory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/676"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/prosperitywithory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/prosperitywithory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/prosperitywithory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/prosperitywithory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=676"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/prosperitywithory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/676\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":696,"href":"https:\/\/prosperitywithory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/676\/revisions\/696"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/prosperitywithory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/674"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/prosperitywithory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=676"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/prosperitywithory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=676"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/prosperitywithory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=676"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}<\/h3>\n
