KJB Meets World: March 2016

My Unabashed Rant and Feelings Session

I've said it before... Vanderpump Rules is one of the greatest shows on TV... But let's be real, the photo above could cut some "nonexistent" fat...

The Chosen Ones

There we go... MUCH BETTER! Welcome to my #PumpRules Rant and Feelings session... I'd call it a reunion recap, but I could only wait so long, THANK GOODNESS there's still another part next week. I live for Vanderpump Rules, Mondays are so much brighter when there's a new #PumpRules airing. Putting off that Monday night blues a little bit longer... Here we go.

If I've said it once, I've said it a million and one times, Stassi Schroeder and Kristen Doute MAKE this show! Quite literally, they not only make the show go 'round, but quite possibly-- the world.

Melodramatic enough? Not quite.

Backhand Heard Round the World

Thank goodness this dark dark period is behind us!

Thank the Lord for social media and the fact that my favorite people, maybe on earth, but definitely on television are able to validate my life.

I live for live tweeting. The hashtags, getting to talk to other fans, make my life.

Talking to other SUPERFANS, aka look up Annabelle DeSisto, I fell in love when she was a guest on Straight Up With Stassi.

Getting to talk to actual STARS of the show!

If you follow me on social media, you are in for such a treat! So the reunions are my absolute favorite thing Bravo does! Every show should have a reunion, every channel should require it.

Part One:

These are MY people... If you can't see that Kristen in the QUEEN that she is, then you are JUST. PLAIN. WRONG!

This is my PSA... Without Kristen, without Stassi, there WOULD BE NO #PumpRules, think about it. They are the HBIC, not LVP, so where would this show be without them, not to mention-- there would be nothing to talk about on the show, the cast members are forever talking shit, and their favorites are Kristen and Stassi.

Part Two:

Half the fun of the reunions are getting to see where everyone is sitting and with whom. So to see Scheana on essentially the "wrong" side of the reunion is extremely annoying. Not to mention, Andy Cohen's inability to being unbiased. Seriously, if I have to listen to them all yell and lie and shit all over Kristen for another episode, I'll scream.

Gap Tooth aka Tom Sandoval and Debbie Downer/Cool A aka Ariana, are the wrong parties. They cheated, and never apologized.

DJ James Kennedy, is the spawn of Satan, we all saw that melted crayon that he calls a mother-- literal garbage. The way he speaks to people, i.e. women and the way he carries himself- makes him the spawn of Satan.

Seriously though, no one can talk about anything on #PumpRules, without mentioning Kristen and yet, she's the toxic person. I. CANNOT.

If you don't fully understand my reasoning...

Please follow me back to Season 2, where Kristen looked like a lunatic because she was accusing Ariana and Tom of cheating... This went on for so long, that everyone on the show and all of America hated her-- cut to finding out, Ariana and Tom HAD cheated and were further dating... Like-- getting into someone's head and making them think they ARE insane is far worse than anything Kristen could've done to them. And yet, they are repeatedly the victim. Not to mention, I too believe Kristen was wrong, so not only was Kristen hoodwinked, but so was I, and I can hold a MEAN grudge.

So it's just acceptable that LVP is rude and disrespectful to Stassi AND Kristen? Like, she's effing rude. I don't care how you look at it.

The Z-list cast and LVP think they would have a show WITHOUT Stassi and Kristen?! What would the show seriously even consist of... honestly, tell me-- cause it surely would not be worthwhile.

I clearly have A LOT of feelings...

But to end on a happier note...

#NeverForget Bravo basically made me an honorary cast member of #PumpRules and made my dreams of being a Bravo-lebrity a reality.

#NeverForget

I'm Basically Famous

It's the Start of Something New!

May - August 2014, I interned at the Decorative Arts Center of Ohio, I loved it! I was able to meet fascinating new people and learn more about a town I've lived in for 12 years... Not to mention, learn more about an inspiration to my career/craft, Edith Head. Here are some of my favorite facets of that exhibition:

So imagine how excited I am to be going back to The Decorative Arts Center of Ohio, as they're getting ready to welcome back Edith Head as well... That's right, I am the new Gift Shop Manager at DACO and just in time for the upcoming Edith Head & Co. exhibition is underway, it starts May 21- August 12th, make sure you come visit! Cause it's gonna be even better than last time!

Here's to the start of something new!

Harriet and Golly FOREVER

Harriet the Spy came out in 1996. Harriet aka Michelle Trachtenberg aka the first coming... of Georgina Sparks was a sixth grade spy.

She inspired my love of Composition Notebooks, converse, stripes and braids.

Her best friends were a wannabe Tracey Chapman (Janie) and Ephraim (Sport) before his trip to Everwood.

If her (Harriet) friends turning against her followed by her nanny, Golly aka Rosie O'Donnell being fired and leaving her to muddle through growing up didn't just sufficiently destroy you-- then you're either a liar or heartless.

This movie had it ALL! Bullies, growing pains and just a whole lot of angst--- So it comes into question...

WHY. THE. HELL. WASN'T. THERE. A. SEQUEL?!

And no, Harriet the Spy Blog Wars

Starring Jennifer Stone of Wizards of Waverly Place fame....

DOES. NOT. COUNT.

I wanna know where the sequel with the OG cast is...

So I took to Twitter...

At this point, high school would be a little far-fetched but ya know Hollywood isn't above 30 year olds. Then there's the second option, there's always the possibility that the sequel is about their kids...

OH! OR-- it could just be all about the OG cast plus newcomers.

I don't doubt Rosie in the slightest. So I'll just be waiting with baited breath.
