Brooks is creepy and controlling. I haven't watched part 2 yet, but I think he was picking a fight with the evil eye thing to put distance between Tamara and Vicki.

That was the best reunion yet! As much as it pains me to say I agree with Tamara. Brooks is creepy!

Yup! If EVERYONE questions the motives of your SO, you need to take a step back. I said the same thing they concluded...it sounds like Brooks watched RHOC to study what would attract Vicki. A lot of things he said and did could be gathered by watching the show. I agree with all of them. His last girlfriend said that she told him a lot of the same things he told Vicki. He apparently disappeared on her. That is probably when he made his move on Vicki. She did not find him. Friends called her when he showed up on RHOC. I wonder if Vicki has him living in one of her properties when he is in town. Apparently, he is always in town. I did not like Vicki telling Brianna to "shut up". If Vicki was not being a hypocrite, Brianna would not have let her business slip. So now we know that Vicki is a cheater. I am not surprised. When people are always calling out others, it is usually because they are trying to distract from their own sh__.

Yes! That is the first chapter in "How To Control Women"...separate them from friends and family so they only have you to turn to for support.

what color for this jacket [express.com]? i finally got them and am not sure! ordered xs and s bc the reviews were so weird on sizing. i'm currently trying on the xs. it's snug but i think it's supposed to be. fwiw, the reviews made the jacket seem like it was made for me. it doesn't make my shoulders look bigger bc i already have big shoulders so it fits pretty well there. i also have long arms so the arms are the right length.

i fell in love with the red, but feel this style with the felt-like fabric (it feels like a wool-ish felt fabric) might be best in black, white, or camel. i love the white but know from experience that i don't wear my white jackets as much. for some reason i don't like camel as much. as of now it looks like ivory and navy are oos in xs and s, which makes my decision easier. but should i keep red or black?

red and wild orchid in my wish list. i may be ending up with the wild orchid.

Out of those two, I 'd go with the Orchid. Unless you have too many red tops, but if it were me, I'd buy both for different occasions. Red to dress up and wild orchid to dress down.

I think it looks better in the darker colors. Camel is my winter color, but I would not purchase this jacket in that color. I would order it in Black.

black would be easiest to wear. but if you already have many blacks, i'll get red.

i'm the opposite - i actually think it looks better in the lighter colors. love the ivory. usually love camel but not in this style for some reason.

that is exactly what i think. haha i will have to model it in front of the mirror at home later.

i do love the red but black is such a winter staple. i think most of my short dressy coats are black or navy blue. i don't really have a lot of them tho. my favorite short wool jacket is a black plaid pattern. i wore that almost daily last winter. (long coats don't get worn bc 1. i'm in so cal where it just doesn't get that cold and 2. i can't sit in my long coats and i'm mostly sitting in my office chair)

Absolutely he did..... and to get camera time. It was just so high school, and by high school I mean something you would see between two GIRLS not a grown man!

He is just so icky. That whole episode when he was out to dinner with Vicky talking about wanting to "bed her" while they were at the table ....

What I don't get is, after what was revealed about her marriage, why the vow renewal? Oh I know makes great tv! We found out what a hypocrite she is. She wasn't one of my faves anyway so I enjoyed watching her squirm when Gretchen called her out on her bs and when Tamara dropped that other bomb about her in Cabo. You could tell by the look on her face Tamara was not lying either. Not that I like Tamara or anything... and btw what was up with Tamara's hair?

hehe it's always fun to win when you gamble. i usually go in thinking i'm going to lose whatever i start with - and that it's just entertainment money. it's safer that way. it was fun, and my friend and i got free drinks.

my friends made me wear the wig. it was so bright, and paired with my teal dress and hot pink boa, i was soooo colorful - i loved it! the wig started to come off by the end of the night tho - my head's too big, i think. :lol :

My DH considers gambling his entertainment money also. I'm not a gambler. When we went to Vegas, I got a roll of nickles & gambled on that all week.

I love that you wore the wig. It sounds like you all had a blast. We need to see some pics.

Whoa! I am not calling anyone old. I am not saying anyone is too old to wear Express. I am saying in my area that I see ladies as young as high schoolers and as old as their 40s wearing/shopping at Express. That means there is a larger chance for me to see women in the same clothing as me if I began shopping there. My point is I do not like seeing women wearing my clothing. I REALLY do not like it!

I was just kidding.

My age doesn't bother me. My mind still feels young, even if my body doesn't.

does the free seamless panty code stack with the 10 off dream angels bra code?

What's the codes? I still have my $10 off certificates.

Quote from PordaPoddy

:

the older I get, the younger everyone else seems. Now now, my mom has been wearing polyester pants with an elastic waist since she turned 40, maybe even 35. Most of age is in the head :bulb :
With the accessories~ could you keep one to give as a gift? If you're having a hard time pairing it up with something now, maybe you won't wear it much.

Age is definitely mental. I don't intend to get old, until I'm forced to. It helps that my DH & all my sisters are older. I'll always be the youngest.

I may give the blue set to my niece. When she was here, she had on a bracelet that had a rebel flag on it. She told me 2 ladies saw her in the elevator, then wouldn't get on. She was kind of hurt that they wouldn't ride with her. I told her it was probably because she was wearing that bracelet. She had no idea how some people view the rebel flag. She didn't realize it could be considered racist. For her, it was the flag of the south & nothing more. Poor girl is as blond as I am.

Needless to say, she needs some new bracelets.

Quote from Tizzylicious

:

When I went they had the B1G1 50% off and I think there was a coupon stacked like $15/$30 or something like that so their stock was wiped out. The sales guy told me it was because of the sale and I would have better luck finding my size on a non sale day. So next time they aren't on sale I'm going to try my luck. I like figuring out what size I am and what I like and then waiting for the sale and buying online. :nod :

You picked some nice pieces! I like all of them. I'm not good with the jewelry either. Mostly because I hate wearing it. Usually I'm just wearing my wedding ring.

I went to the store, because the jeans I wanted were sold out online. Naturally, they were out in the store also. I wish I'd had time to try on some of the dresses.

The only jewelry I wear all the time is my wedding rings & a ring my DH bought me for my first birthday we were together. Occasionally, I wear a 14K or 18K gold necklace & earrings. All my "dress jewelry" is silver with different gemstones.

I thought it was time I changed things up a bit. Convincing myself I like it is the problem. I do really like the bronze set of bracelets.

I've been debating on ordering that coat too. The only coat I have is black though. I hate to order another one. I should have ordered, when ivory was still in stock.
