Redefining "housewife"
I missed the reunion of the “Real Housewives of Atlanta,” and heard that it was well worth the hour. Fortunately, a rerun was in the lineup for Turkey Day, and I was glued to the set. Some people amaze me.
My wife and I have debated which housewives are trashier, and she argues it’s this crew. Having lived in the South most of my life, I think that this cast is more confrontational, but they’re no more vain or wrapped up in a narcissistic bubble than any of the other “housewives.”
But let’s talk about that term for a minute. Maybe it’s just me, but when I think of a housewife I think of a woman who cooks and cleans (in addition to mothering any children she may have). Most of the women on the show have kids, but how many do anything beyond shopping and socializing? Two of them have more staff members than a hotel.
And what’s with Kim? She can’t be 30–her voice deterioration and Botox addiction both point to a more mature age. She’d look good for 50, though.

You forgot to mention that Kim wears a wig due to hair loss from a mysterious illness. Not cancer! And please we must discuss Big Papa who is AHEM . . . MARRIED! By far the most dramatic of the housewives!!
