  • eek

    The picture made me choke a little. I think I have to get a root canal while that one is on.

  • SoFla Kate

    no difference, except the Hamptons whores are the wives, and as such will not end up seeking medical care for AIDS at a free clinic on a bus. Also the children of the Rich Witches will go to private schools and be debutantes, instead of dropping out of school, being beaten/raped by mom's clients/boyfriends, becoming hookers themselves at the age of 12, etc. etc. etc.

    In other words, all the difference in the world, and none.

  • Wharton without the eyestrain

    Any fans of Wharton or Austen MUST check out the NY Housewives. The first episode was just silly, but by week 2 it was getting seriously interesting in the interplay of personalities and class aspirations. Seriously, this show is amazing in what it says about NYC culture and quite entertaining, in a schadenfreude way.

  • I actually am retired

    Have been since 2000 (horrid new internet money, dahling). I surf a lot, look after my kid and bless every moment I dont have to work. They should do "House Husbands of San Francisco" - we're really boring nice people.

    Must go check the home-made baked beans.

    Joe
