Apollo Nida and Phaedra Parks… “Every-Body-Knows……that I’m just doin’ this show waitin’ on Marlo to shank somebody real good. It’ll be bigger than when I represented Bobby Brown!”
The Real Housewives of Atlanta have arrived in Cape Town…
… Nene and Marlo show how little they know about traveling… they are showing their inexperience by toting 20 bags (LV, of course…LOL!) along with them.
Their number of bags only point out to EXPERIENCED travelers how INEXPERIENCED they are… like going out on a golf course with brand new clubs and brand new golf shoes! Experienced travelers carrying those bags on a commercial flight would have covered those bags to protect them… a glaring tell.
While on the bus from the airport… Marlo starts giving etiquette lessons. Uh… Marlo musta learnt all them etti-ket lessons just recently and wants to show off to the other Housewives. CameraPhaedra calls her out… as does CameraSheree.
Note to Marlo: It is not proper etiquette to be ‘testing’ others on their knowledge of etiquette… or any other subject. Didn’t you learn proper etiquette attending Cotillion in the fifth grade? Apparently not… otherwise, you would have known that VERY important etiquette rule… NEVER intentionally make another person feel uncomfortable! Tsk, tsk, Marlo!
NOTE: The following about the RHOA was sent to me…
*Straight from the A said that Marlo had to pay for her Africa trip.
While there might be truth to that, Marlo got paid. There were some
things that couldn’t be cleared before they left with accounting so
they worked out a different deal than what was in her contract, but
she was PAID.
*Ever since NJ got into that big mess with a law suit on their trip,
the production ppl make all the cast members get insurance AND they
get insurance on the cast members. SPECULATION: Marlo probably
couldn’t get everything in order in time and so the cast thought she
just wasn’t going. They didn’t know they worked something out.
* Phaedra is the most respected HW behind the scenes. She has the most
influence and knows how to get her way. Most of the time the HW who
“organizes” the trip is really just the host in name only- doesn’t
really do anything. But Phaedra did put effort and care into
organizing parts of it. The office gossip is: Phaedra didn’t like
Marlo being in Africa. Or being on the cast. She doesn’t want to keep
reminding ppl that her husband is a NONviolent felon. She was put out
by Marlo coming to Africa even though she had no right to be- THEY
WERE ALL ALLOWED TO BRING GUESTS (an assistant).
Office gossip: Marlo became paranoid on the trip. She thought everyone
was out to get her and “expose” her. She thought Phaedra was behind
her being exposed on the blogs. Nene and Marlo both thought they were
all trying to exclude one or both while filming so they wouldn’t get
air time. The fight she had with Sheree was really about her thinking
that they invited Cynthia so that all the camera men would go with
Sheree and Nene and Marlo would get none. At this point Marlo wasn’t
even sure if she would get cut out entirely or not. Neither was
production, so she only got filmed if there were a group scene. She
didn’t get a camera of her own.
*One of the cast members (don’t know who, the person couldn’t
remember) had their credit card declined in Africa! It wouldn’t work
anywhere and she couldn’t get cash advances on it. So she had to have
someone from accounting wire her money to be paid back as a loan or
advance She also didn’t bring enough traveler’s checks even though
she was specifically told to bring a certain dollar amount.
(Thanks to SH reader “KK”!!)
A person who slashed someones face is giving etiquette lessons?
Is there a proper etiquette used for cutting up other people’s faces? I’ll go google it, or just tweet Marlo. I’d only face her BEHIND a computer. Marlo’s scary.
Old school would require the pinky finger raised.
lol @ Phaedra canned goods. more like a can of whoop azz
Do you hold your hankie in one hand, with the switch blade in the other?…pinky finger raised, of course.
cc/mc: LOL!!! Great etiquette question for Marlo!! Need to think of more! TFC!! SH
This is getting tough. With Dexter, we are now exposed to a whole new era of slicing and dicing. White gloves? That would be vulgar post slicing. I guess if we could find some white nitrile gloves all would be good and you could feel comfortable proceeding once you have extended an invitation to your “guest.”
Does “OUTSIDE! NOW!” count as an invite?
If I could expand upon that by suggesting one of Kevin Lee’s silk box invitations, I think that sounds lovely.
well it aint exactly a save the date
Red gloves?
How does one get the blood splatter off my Alexass Koo-tour designer dress? And what color of shoe does go with blood red?
Just select “trampy red” from the drop-down window while ordering.
Hi kids! My understanding of cheap polyester is that it is 100% machine washable (no bleach, girls!), and you can tumble dry on low heat or just wear it from the crime scene er, uh, club, damp (after a quick hand wash in a sink!) and it will dry in a jiffy! BSL is right about the choice of trampy red–that or black (it’s soooo slimming!) hides stains better than white!
LOL!
Ya’ll are so funny!!!
I may be wrong but do they have private baths in prison?
Maybe thats why she hates to share a bathroom, because of prison. Does anyone know how long she was in for?
Hi Sable! I think Marlo stated that she was in jail for 6 months. On the prison shows it looks like pretty much anyone can watch you. Yuck!
SH, who is the pic in the background? The last one (cartoon) of Kim Z, was spot on, I loved it!
Hi Sable, I see you everywhere. Not to be mean, you are always kind and funny. Kim R is the wallpaper, and yes…Pinky is Lisa nickname. Don’t be a stranger. Sorry to answer for you MS.SH. POSTED:JANUARY 27, 2012 at 1:13.
Hey clickclick. Thank you for the warm welcome. You mean I’m recognized?? Like, like Kim Kardashian?? (lol, just kidding) I read several blog sites, but SH is my fav…
Would I know you on other sites under another name perhaps?
Sable, No. I only comment here, but read alot of them also. I love MS.SH’s site…and she’s an okay person. jk
I think it is Kim Richards, it resembles her likeness quite well.
Cyn, Yes they do. Massages on T&T, Mani-pedis on W&F, tennis courts, and no barb wire…hedges, and trees manicured by Edward Scissorhands.
Another Question for the learned. Isn’t the ultimate faux pas etiquette wise would be showing up for a trip uninvited by the hostess?
I bet the cast member who’s card was declined was SHEREE…..
My first thought too, has to be SHEREE…
Sable: Welcome! TFC!! SH
Hahahaahah……I like this.
Agree has to be She by Sheree!
feel sorry for her kids!
Either Sheree or Cynthia. We know papa smurf is using up what little money she has.
Or Cynthia? If she had any money would she be scamming kids.
So sad and embarrasing, but I was thinking it was probably Sheree as well!
Well, it wasn’t NeNe…she’s RICH! If that happened to Sheree, in front of Miss NeNe Leakes, she was lovin’ it.
Guess she had a lot of time while she was locked up to read all of Emily Post’s books on etiquette. That chick really is something else. Ghetto fab trying to tell everyone else how to behave. Wonder what chapter “how to slice a bitches” face is in her book? Since she is so refined, she must have done that with style and aplomb. Just scratching my head after her little video.
*snickers* at aplomb. I haven’t heard that word used in a sentence in a while. This comment is perfect, I am here picturing that perfectly executed slicing of a bitches face.
Marlo is crazy!
I don’t know why it popped into my mind when I was writing the post..lol. Yeah she is crazier than or maybe just as much as that other nut bag from the NJ show.
Lets give Marlo a break….I think she was just trying to be friendly. Might have gone about it the wrong way but with this group of women, nothing she said would have sounded right.
Marlo.. you need to open up the Marlo School of Etiquette so you can educate us all…….Make sure you start off the first class by How to insult the group….Be sure to use the Bailey Modeling Agency business plan and I’m sure Peter would enjoy helping you get the whole thing off the ground.
I can’t wait to see who was the one that had her credit cards decline. I also think it was either Sheree (most likely) or Cynthia (as one said Papa smurf is burning through all Cynthia’s money). I bet Bravo is getting tired paying bills and laundry detergent and weaves and whatever lolollololloloolool to the broke women on the show. They thought “truly they would have enough money for everyday items, not”.
Sheree was the first one that popped into my head,
It has to be Sheree who had the credit card declined. Cynthia has travelled to Africa before and knew that taking Travellers Cheques was essential, so it couldn’t be her (since the person with the credit card problem also neglected to bring enough Travellers Cheques). Sheree has not travelled there and was probably naive enough to think she could ignore the producer’s instructions and still get by. Sheree needs to hire herself a financial adviser to bring her back to the real world money-wise.
Am I the only one TOTALLY SHOCKED by the massive amounts of luggage each woman took to Cape Town? Holy smokes! Are they planning on changing into complete new outfits every 5 minutes of their stay there?? This is insanity!!!
And if Marlo’s tips are not good enough let’s try Apollo’s Phaedra.
Another piece of food for thought, Marlo did six months, Apollo did six years????
