So, who's watching besides me and oh yvonne? Re: your questions in the Housewives thread: I have never heard of burying the whiskey bottle. I find those pants for children to be horrific, but they are very popular! I understand not wanting to dress your daughter like a mini-adult, but a clown? No thanks!

I've watched her. I think it's hysterical how she rolls her eyes at the cultural differences between the friends and herself. I think those pants are crazy - but, she does like the attention she gets!

I'm watching. I Jamie (that is her name; right?) She reminds me of some people I know and I actually LOL watching the show. I must have have missed something thought because I don't know what pants you are talking about??

I love this show! It seems like everyone really likes each other and they aren't all backstabby and stuff. It's just a nice show about a fish out of water. I really hope they don't make drama filled like the real housewives of ALL the cities. Jaime is funny and loves to tease her friends, but you can tell she really truly cares for them all.

Especially the one that got married.

I have never heard of burying the whiskey bottle. I find those pants for children to be horrific, but they are very popular! I understand not wanting to dress your daughter like a mini-adult, but a clown? No thanks! I've never heard of the whiskey bottle thing either. And - those pants make me twitchy! I would never put my daughter in those. I love the show and love the friends. I just wish Jamie would get her brows waxed.

I'll try to find a pic for the pants and link if. My FB friends have plenty, but I don't want to go there. lol

Ahh those pants! Well, some of them are ok and the outfit Jamie's little girl picked wasn't that garish..but yeah. Mostly I think it's cute and age appropriate.the thing that kills me is, Jaime refuses to put her kids in "clown pants" but then what is the excuse for the Jersey WOMEN dressing like clowns as adults? Mob Wives, Jersey Shore, RHWNJ anyone? Some how, I think if Jersey kids got to dress up and have a little more fun as kids, they'd be over it as adults...<wink>
Okay I looked up the whiskey bottle thing and I guess it is a thing, but maybe not so common.
Okay so two things stood out to me..
Jamie's Husband. Good looking..but in an adorable, Herman Muenster Fred Gwynne sorta way. Anyone else think they are somehow related. LoL
and two...the single mom friend, the boy crazy one with the gassy son..
what do you think her real story is? I'm not buying that all she did was divorce her husband and like, the whole town turned on her a la Harper Valley PTA, do you? There had to be a reason. People split up every damn day...I wonder if she had a salacious affair? Stole a husband? It's gotta be something..the stories she told of how she had been treated seemed way too over the top for someone who simply got a divorce.
I'm thinking it was either that, or she made the mistake of making all her exes friends her only friends...and they chose sides?

I think you are on to something with your theory about Luci Beavers (and, no, I've never heard that last name. lol). I totally FB stalked her thinking we would have at least one mutual friend. I was wrong'! Maybe Mountain Brooke really is its own little kingdom.

Yeah, there has to be more to it. I can see a certain group of people maybe treating you that way, but I would attribute that behavior to the 60+ country club crowd. Totally stereotyping on my part there, I admit it. I know Southern women, but I don't know rich Southern women so maybe there is a difference. I'm from a very traditional, conservative area but the people are working class and very down to Earth (IME) for the most part.

All the little girls wear those pants here and I'm not in jersey....I thought they were pretty normal.
Little boys wear similar ones - one print for the main part and another print for the cuff area - the same idea as those girl pants just without the ruffle.

Just watched the first episode today (I have 3 or 4 more on the DVR) and I loved it! I love the Housewives, but this was a breath of fresh air.
My daughter has some of those pants...they are fun, but too fussy for how we dress for day to day.

I was wrong'! Maybe Mountain Brooke really is its own little kingdom. Oh Goodness-I have never heard of this show before but...um...I grew-up right outside of Mountain Brook. When I saw the pictures for the pants I was like "wait...I saw a little girl at The Summit (that's a shopping center right outside Mountain Brook) on Sunday when I was home for the weekend, with some of those on and I thought they were kinda cute on her, then the next post or two down I see Mountain Brooke (there is no e in the name and I was "UH OH"...
I guess I will have to DVR this and see how badly they are misrepresenting my hometown. Is it as bad as I imagine it is???

The show really doesn't paint that town in a bad light at all. It's more about the story of Jaime & how she's "surviving" in Alabama (being from New Jersey). I don't really see it lasting too long because it's not drama-filled enough like the stupid housewives.
