Sorry I'm posting my Real Housewives drawings so late..... ran into some technical difficulties this morning. Was afraid Vicky had shut down my site. Ugh. Everything seems to be taken care of now, so off to the show........
I shook up my beverage choice last night and had a giant margarita instead of my usual glass(es) of red wine. Crazy, huh? My memory is a little fuzzy of yesterday's episode but fortunately I have the following drawings to help piece it together.
Tamra, the self proclaimed hottest house wife in Orange County, and Tammy, the most reluctant cast member, went for a plastic surgery consultation and just for fun, got some extra botox injections. Why not? Here's Tamra post injections with a darling watermelon shaped ice pack.
I wrote down some of my favorite quotes that Tamra said last night.....
In her confessional moment: "One of my biggest goals right now is to look as hot as I can."
To the doctor: "I'm a botox junkie."
To Tammy right after their botox shots: "Maybe you can find... like.. a 25 year old like Quinn."
:)
Lauri had a bridal shower in which a dazzling bouquet of Orange County lovelies, who all looked exactly same, gave her an array of sexy lingerie and adult novelties.
Lauri seemed especially captivated with a tube of body frosting pictured above. I've never understood food and "sexy time", but hey, if it could get me a rock like Lauri's- I say fill the tub with Duncan Hines butterscotch frosting and then roll me in vanilla cake mix.
I did liked Lauri's leopard print Versace-ish dress. Hell, it probably was Versace.
Lastly, no posting would be complete without my combative enchantress Vicky Gunvalson. Vicky went to her second home which she is frantically trying to sell. She's allowing former cast member Slade to store a number of his belongs in her garage. Upon arrival and seeing all the clutter and disorganization- Vicky went Britney-shaving-her-head-crazy. She foamed at the mouth and tried calling Jeana her friend and realtor. Getting Jeana's voicemail, Vicky had the reaction below.
Vicky had a total breakdown, cursing and yelling and biting the camera crew. Well the last part was certainly edited out.
Vicky moved her home office to a new office building. The movers came and she continued her ear piercing rant. "It's $85 an hour. Love you. Haul ass."
Vicky confronted Jeana her friend and realtor. Vicky tried going off on Jeana, however, Jeana remained calm and talked her down of her cliff of insanity. Jeana's the crazy whisperer.
Jeana's logic actually made Vicky close her mouth for a second. I was so struck by this, that I had to capture her not ranting.
This is a quote from Jeana's confessional moment about Vicky: "When people do act irrationally.... it does affect your friend. It does affect the way you think about a person."
I say amen sister Jeana.
It pains me, but I believe next week is the finale. I'll miss you Real Housewives.......
All drawings are ink on paper done in between 10 to 30 minutes. Margarita with Corzo tequila helped.
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!
oh gilmore - it's such a huge treat to see your Real Haus Fraus of Orange County drawings on Wednesday morning. Thank you!

You watch these with a glass of wine and as I've said I Tivo them and watch it in the morning under an Ambien hangover. This batch of drawings show a lighter and airier side of our lovely O.C. ladies. I thoroughly enjoyed the makeover of Vicki's poor assistant. She looked great I'm not even gonna cast her any shade. But Kim coming back to the OC, well lets just say they should have invited her to the Botox party for a refreshing oxygen facial all her very own.

I believe Vicky is getting more cross-eyed as the drawings go on... I laugh out loud at her ass in that dress. Glad you caught me up on the episode. Of course, I missed it again with all Brit's shizz going on. I have carpal tunnel now.

Jeana the Crazy Whisperer... I LOVE THAT! I don't know how she endures her friendship with Vicki. It is so strange to see Vicki with her mouth shut, seems so unnatural:-) Maybe Jeana could work her magic on Britney....who needs Dr. Fool?
I was so happy that Lauri finally said something positive about Ashley. I think she would be very pleased with her sketch this week, she is looking hot!
What will we do without the Housewives? Thank God, you are doing Project Runway!!!!
Thanks for doing so many Vicki's -- they are always the BEST!

Mmmm margaritas…
I wish I had goals like looking hot. My life would be so much more fulfilling.

As always, love your renderings of the OC gals. As soon as I saw Truffle Hunter's reaction to getting Jeana's vox mail, I knew I'd be seeing it here.
Is next week the finally, so soon?

I love looking at your drawings, especially of Vicky. I have no idea how you capture them so perfectly! I can't watch the show that long because their faces freak me out too much.

Mr. Gilmore let me say how perfectly you captured the essence of Miss Vicki. You really capture the piggy and the crazy. I am so sad that this is ending. But wait, did I see a preview for the Real Housewives of New York City? Or did I imagine it?
Posted by: JNo | January 12, 2008 at 06:10 AM
The Housewives need to come back for another season!
I want to see more of them panting to keep up with their trainer, John Spencer Ellis in his Adventure Boot Camp!
