I've always wanted to watch it but on Wednesdays, I watch ABC (The Middle, The Goldbergs, Black-ish, Modern Family) - so naturally I set my DVR to watch Hollywood Divas at a later day but never did. So when everyone requested me to blog on this show, I decided to clear our my DVR and watch the shows.
All of these women, I've watched at some point in my life. Golden, I watched on Girlfriends; Paula Jai Parker, I remember her voice on The Proud Family and the infamous line on Friday, "You ain't got to lie Craig!" Countess, omgggg I loved her on The Parkers; Elise on the The Hughleys and Lisa Wu who got fired from RHOA.
Maybe I should have started from the first episode but I started from the most recent, which was a horrible mistake.
The main focus on this episode was Paula and her bright idea of having each girl on show play "a witch" - TF?! The man she went to pitch the idea to was right. Black people don't want to see that mess. You always see black kids throwing tantrums when they have their birthday parties at Chucky Cheese. They grow into adults who are afraid of the Chucky doll and clowns. I'm not afraid of either but I don't want to see that. I'm glad he told her it was a horrible idea. The ladies were all upset with the roles Paula gave them. I mean I would be too. Everyone else is chopped liver while she got a scholarship to Yale. And I f this is all about black female empowerment, why not get a scholarship to an elite HBCU? Southern University, Spelman, Howard?
I really didn't understand the whole Elise/Golden dance show thing? Like what's the point? Like is it a charity event? Just for fun? This probably was featured on the first episode. Then I was confused as to why Elise would pick Golden uncoordinated ass to dance. I mean are yall really BFF? If my friend wanted to be on my dance show and she couldn't, trust and believe she would not be on my show.
My favorite on the show is Countess. I loved her on The Parkers. And I guess I identify with her more because she is considered "plus sized." I felt some type of way when Elise took a Golden shopping so she could wear something to the dance show. Like that's Slap In The Face #1, that's rude. Countess is a grown ass woman. She can dress herself. Slap In The Face #2, the boutique had mawmaw clothes. I wear size 20-22 and I would not wear anything out of that boutique. Everything was flowy, had a wraparound belt and/or had too many patterns. Slap In The Face #3, EVERYTHING that Countess tried on, Elise LOVED. And then she wanted to accessorize with gold and a belt. I would feel some type of way if any of my friends took me shopping to a place like that. Now if you took me to a Roberto Cavalli or Oscar de la Renta boutique, I would have no problems.
And.. Just like on RHOA, Lisa had no storyline. I don't even think she had a segment dedicated to just her. I liked Lisa on RHOA, but she was boring. She didn't deserve a peach. She would be a good extra friend, like Marlo or somebody.
I said this blog would be short because I couldn't get into it. But after typing all of this, I guess I will be tuning in on Wednesday.
