So the worms are turning. Sheree is still a moody snooty woman who is constantly being reminded by Kim (who is now better dealing her soon to be ex friend NeNe) how absolutely beautiful they are. Kim is also being prepped for a singing career by Dallas Austin, who no doubt owes her sugardaddy some kind of HUGE favor. Remember, Big Poppa is still anonymous – that he thinks he’ll remain so after this harpy is through with him is proof that her girly bits are made of something really special. Again NeNe is a righteous sister girl, helping Kim pick a country song to record that her daughter’s music teacher wrote, even singing along to encourage her “process”. NeNe also makes appearances as the promoting emcee of DeShawn’s fundraiser, first on a local morning talk show, and again at the event.

Oh, and the event – don’t get me started. Dwight was right. If you want people with BIG money to spend money for charity, you have to make people pay to get in the door. Folks with the cash to front the kind of cash that DeShawn envisioned don’t want to party with the proletariat. Even Kim knew that. I think DeShawn is still of the more the merrier mindset, and it bit her in the behind in a very embarassing way. Also, if you’re going to have a live auction, you MUST have a real auctioneer – it’s a profession, you know, and it takes experience to draw lots of money for an item. It was excruciating to watch the party flounder so pathetically. Kim spent more on her daughter’s birthday than the whole event netted that evening. Ouch – I just got chills thinking about it again.

Little Miss Wu Sweat Hartwell, on the other hand is shaking that money maker and sweet ol’ Ed is helping – lots! She hosts a trunk showing of her new jewelry designs and is quite successful with the launch, becoming a recruit for a lucrative licensing deal with Steven Zale. I always squint a little when I see people like Lisa calling themselves “designers” – I’m pretty sure she didn’t create the castings that all those Byzantine era pieces in her collection and pour the molten gold into the molds herself. I do find it hugely cheeky of her to actually have a beading party right before the trunk show, enlisting her buddies to string up the baubles she will then charge WAY too much money for, soley based on her celebrity as a wife of someone famous. Let’s hope this venture turns out better than this business venture from her last marriage.

This week’s previews promise a big catfight between the NeNe, Sheree, and Kim troika and Kim will sing, if you can call it that – you can watch it between reports of the REAL one.
