Over the weekend, I was watching Fashion Police. In response to a particularly unattractive dress, Kelly Osbourne (who I usually love) asked, "I am looking at this dress and I'm like, I had no idea that was even you, you look like a housewife and you are one of the most beautiful women in Hollywood. Why would you wear this dowdy dress? Please." Ouch. That one hurt! I could have lived without the "housewife" part.
Of course, I took offense to that. I love being a housewife. I may not get dressed up each day right now, because I have been ill, but I have an extensive wardrobe. Also, my next door neighbor is a housewife, and she is always sharp and stylish even when working in her yard, playing golf with her husband or going grocery shopping. She's fabulous!
It is a privilege to be a housewife and take care of my family. So let's twist this into a better light.
What iconic TV housewife (or TV mom since there aren't too many modern-day TV housewives) do you admire? Who would you want as a friend? Who makes you laugh? Whose style makes you jealous? Who do you love?
My answer?
If I could be friends with any TV housewife, I would have to pick Lucy Ricardo. She knows how to find trouble! In addition, she was very stylish, impeccably dressed, always had her hair and makeup done, and was very organized at home. She had to be on the off chance Ricky finally let her into the show! She had a keen awareness of self. I think she would have been a great person to hang out with and drink coffee. I could see myself walking in her back door and pouring coffee from the percolator. We would have found a lot of trouble together!
So who would you choose? Why? Come on, I want to know.
Be happy.
