Beeker's Words

I don’t know if you have ever watched Real Housewives on Bravo but it is like watching a Discovery channel documentary that Gucci threw up all over.  I don’t have cable television but when I travel or visit friends and family, I love to channel surf and I have spent some late nights shell shocked at the behavior of the women on these shows.  I have said the only way the show could become even more sensationalized would be to host it in NJ or a trailer park.  I have nothing against trailer parks, but there is more gossip and hen fighting in a trailer park than a college sorority.  I moved to NJ two years ago and there are some tough cookies around here.  After going to a playground with my friend and her son, I knew NJ was a whole new world. Mom’s decked out in heels, designer jeans, Channel sunglasses, perfectly coiffed hair and makeup, pushing around Hummer strollers as they barked Brooklynese into bedazzled cellphones. Well today I see that either someone was ease-dropping on my conversation or the Big G has a wonderful sense of humor because the Real Housewives of New Jersey is coming to a television screen near you!
