I saw a post the other day about Halsey and how she’s a feminist yet flashes her boobs in Playboy magazine. She responded by saying:
“Yeah it’s crazy,”
“I can show my tits in Playboy, perform at the Nobel Peace, speak at the Planned Parenthood Gala with Hillary Clinton, shake my ass on 300 stages, give a speech at the United Nations, do 150 shots of tequila, get a #1 album, and march in the streets of DC all in just ONE year! Newsflash. A woman can be multi dimensional #WeAreNotJustOneThing.”
Drama, Drama, Drama
God, I love Western real-life drama sometimes. Life is boring here, no? Sometimes I want to purposefully debate with my friends about a controversial topic to get my adrenaline flowing, but I never quite get to the level of Twitter.
My recent one was the Real Housewives of Nairobi. I was hesitant to watch this show because of the level of pettiness I knew was about to be aired. Vera Sidika, a cast member, just posted a picture of having to undergo a life-threatening surgery to remove her butt uhm enhancements. She called out to others opting for plastic surgery to be careful, and I honestly felt bad for her.
We all know what happened after that, so I won't dwell on that. I saw where the show was going, and I wanted more time to think whether that was the type of drama I wanted to fill my afternoon spare time with.
My boyfriend agreed to watch the show with me for some reason, and it became a weekly routine. From the introductions, I already had something to say. Or, ask.
Babe, these are the Real Housewives of who now?
In Brief
At least up to the point I reached, Vera Sidika is pretty funny. I will always love Minne. The white woman needs to chill. Sonal. Uhm. No words for Sonal. And Susan is the main villain. Maybe that makes Sonal the heroine, lol.
How Do They Pick Cast Members?
I have yet to watch other Real Housewives shows diligently, so I don't know their rules for choosing cast members. But, and I won't apologize for this, I truly wanted to see how good it can get for a homemaker in Kenya. How luxurious can being a housewife be? There's a level of luxury even I can accept just washing and cleaning after my man and kids.
But these women are serious business moguls!
Okay, maybe not moguls, but you get what I mean.
Ah, I suddenly feel demotivated, babe.
I was hoping for something else.
I'm going to bed.
Take me to bed, please.
And fuck me.
Goes without saying that I was back the following week for episodes 2, 3, and 4, and some number until our friend stopped paying for the Showmax subscription we were using.
