I had to chug an entire glass of Merlot before I could even think about drawing the ladies from The Real Housewives of Orange County. They look much better when my vision is blurred. The above drawing I did in fifteen minutes. It's from Lauri Waring's confessional moment where she expresses her concern about her fiance's daughter getting a tattoo while vacationing in South Beach.
I couldn't resist drawing my piggly wiggly favorite Vicky Gunvalson after her night of hard drinking and screaming for a cocktail called Man Juice. Worst of all, Vicky wasn't wearing panties as she failed about screaming for more Man Juice. Here she's kinda dirty dancing with a reluctant and thoroughly bloated Jeana Keough. This was a quickie done in about ten minutes. That's all I could stomach.
Ink on paper and a glass and a half of Merlot.
If you enjoy looking at my drawings online, the next step would be having one or two or three in your home. Interested? Click on over to my etsy shop and take a gander. And your credit card. :) Much appreciated!
"More Man Juice!" -- You absolutely nail these! Please keep them coming, I am sorry they are torture for you but you are sooooo good at them!!!

These are fantastic!
I love the one of Vicky so much that I'm going to make it my desktop wallpaper.
Thanks Pretty On The Outside!

This is the BEST website on the www! You so rock! I too am obsessed with those women on Real Housewives. They're all like a car wreck that you've just gotta look at.
Your talent and humor amaze me!
Keep up the awesome blogging!

Viva Gilmore! Once again, you nailed it! You perfectly captured the rigor-mortis of Lauri, the bloated Jeana and the crazy, attention-seeking Vicki.

I. Love. You.
Please don't ever stop, I think I laughed for about 10 minutes straight after these..still giggling into my Cab Sav at this very moment.

My phone rang during Real Housewives, I hit pause and Lauri's confessional froze on screen and I laughed and thought of your drawings...lo and behold what did you draw?
Posted by: Jeff | November 25, 2007 at 06:16 AM
i LOVE your Real Housewives drawings...the people are so twisted but it makes for good tv. when the new season started i thought about your blog...i knew you would be drawing those plastic faces...PLEASE draw the new girl... those pics of Lauri are RIDICULOUS. Vicki is my favorite too...a NUT!

I am from Cali and haven't lived there in a long time. Stumbling across this show has become a secret & guilty pleasure. It doesn't seem too many bloggers are into this show but can I tell u when i discovered you were covering it, i was so ecstatic. This show is a hot ass MESS. I look forward to your drawings. They absolutely tickle me. Keep up the great work!

Thanks everyone for the nice comments. I am horrifically amused by this show. The only way for me to try and work out my own fascination with the "real" Housewives, is to drink a lot of wine and then draw these ladies. Maybe one day I'll be able to comprehend why these women have cast such a spell over me. Until that day, my pen will be eagerly on a pad of paper every Tuesday night.
xoxo
Gilmore

I don't know why, but I am hooked on this show.
Posted by: Ubiquitous | November 27, 2007 at 02:47 AM
These illustrations actually got me to watch the show (it goes best with a big glass of Merlot, as you suggest)! Turns out, Vicki really IS a walking cartoon. These are spot-on! Please! More!

I can't help but love these pics as I stare at the show and wonder why I can't change the channel.
Hilarious.
Well keep them coming and so sad your wine bill is racking up.

Hi, I thought you did a genius job with Lauri's tranny face, jay leno chin and Ms. Piggy....These women are so disgusting. All of us in Southern Ca. should petition to Bravo to cover lauri's face, and sew vicky's mouth together. Let's not forget Quinn's ass crack (what she call's cleavage)...LOL

These are awesome. I just came across your blog about lingerie and wanted to drop you a note telling you how impressed I was with the information you have posted here. I also have a web site & blog about sexy lingerie so I know what I'm talking about when I say your site is top-notch! Keep up the great work, you are providing a great resource on the Internet here! Keep up the good work.

These pix are great...I was just surfing looking for evidence that Lauri Waring was born as a man. She's actually not even pretty on the outside! Look, really look, and she looks like a drag queen, a bad one. Grrrooosssss.......!!!
