The cattiness continues unabated this week as NeNe badmouths Kim and Kim badmouths NeNe and Lisa gets mad at Sheree for missing her fashion show.
As usual, it sounds like high school, doesn’t it?
Lisa is not a designer. She readily admits it. But she hires somebody else, an Evelyn (pronounced EVE-a-lynn) Lambert to do the designs. She clearly has the money and some business sense to put together a fashion show in a few weeks.
“I’m the brainchild behind the movement,” Lisa explains about her Closet Freak line.
Sheree is not impressed. She fashions herself to be a true fashion designer, the “hottest” one in town, as proclaimed by Sheree. So she thinks Lisa is merely copying her. Lisa critiques Sheree’s season one non-fashion show party, which didn’t end up with any fashions to show. Lisa was not going to replicate that debacle.
“She’s a little creepy,” said Sheree, of Lisa. “She’s a copy cat.” Nah-nah-na-nah-nah to you, too!
The fashion show arrives. It appears to go off without a hitch. Dwight calls the line “disappointing.” Lisa dismisses him as a “hater.” NeNe, the only “housewife” to show up, is just impressed Lisa was able to get models on a runway with clothing.
Clearly, Lisa was expecting Sheree to come. Sheree didn't appear to bother to tell anybody she was going to her son's recital/concert instead. So when she does arrive at the post fashion show party at 595 North after the actual show ended, Lisa's hairstylist Tracy Sipp calls her out.
“You did not show up on purpose,” he said to Sheree.
“Don’t do me like that!” Sheree said, then she curses. “Are you kidding me? Are you [bleepin'] crazy?”
“You know what goes around comes around,” Tracy said to her as she stomped off. To the camera, he noted, “this was an attempt not to support Lisa… a stab in Lisa’ back.”
Sheree tries to make nice with Lisa at the party but Lisa will have none of it, choosing to ignore her instead.
Sheree surveys the crowd as “tacky.” “I had to attend my son’s concert,” she explained. “I’d never miss that, not even for Lisa’s fashion show. I did see the piece Lisa had on. If that’s an indication of what her show was like, I didn’t miss a thing.”
Bang! Pow! Oomph!
So now Sheree and Lisa are on the outs. Lisa is on a brittle truce with Kim. Kim and NeNe tolerate each other – barely. Kandi is making nicey-nice with Kim and knows Lisa a bit. NeNe and Lisa are bonding nicely. Surely, these shifting sands will change.
In other storylines:
- Kandi starts working on Kim's single "Tardy for the Party" with a couple of producers. And with Kandi singing it (and not Kim,) it sounds pretty good.
- Kim goes shopping with her daughter Ariana and it's the only time we get to see over-the-top conspicuous consumption for no reason. Ariana clearly has her mom's shopping bug and at age 7, appears deeply spoiled. She spends $3,000 on designer clothes.
"My children are used to wearing designer labels and having certain cars," Kim explains with a straight face. "I shop and act like the bill's never going to come!" She then repeats she's no longer being supported by "Big Poppa" and needs to find a job, "a real one." Her solution: start a wig line. She meets with a wig expert Derek J and holds a wig party, where NeNe mocks her way too much.
-NeNe struggles to get her son Brice back on track after he drops out of school and instead, lives at home and parties all night. She tells him to go back to school but there's no sign he is doing much of anything. Her solution on the show? Get Dwight to fix his hair. I guess it's a start.
Here are some notable lines from the episode:
NeNe about her weight: “I’m a [size] ten. I could go down to an eight. I don’t feel like it! I’m [bleepin'] hungry!”
NeNe on Kim’s wig party: “She’s talking about the wig business, a wig line. Kim’s not business. She’s not a woman that you can see holding down a board meeting. Are you serious? She’s faking it but I’m going!”
Dwight: “It does not mean you’re gay if you’re doing your nails.”
