Last night I was flipping channels, trying not to get immersed, yet again, in financial or election news. I found a very guilty pleasure-ish escape with last night’s episode of Real Housewives of Atlanta. One of the women profiled on the reality program is a buxom blonde bombshell who was described on Jezebel as “the white woman who actually looks like one of the Wayans brothers in White Chicks,” who threw a birthday party for her eleven year old daughter Brielle. How does she roll? She spent an estimated $18,000 on the celebration. How the hell did she do that? Well, she got a whole slew of Brielle’s friends and had an all day fiesta that went into a slumber party at the InterContinental, all arranged by a party planner. Not only did they take a Hummer limo to the hotel, had oodles of food, a stellar suite but the eleven-year-old birthday girl, yes eleven years old, received not just one but two Louise Vuitton bags from her mom. One, her mom mentioned she had given her a couple of days before, but this one was better.
Not surprisingly, her mom felt that the spoiled Brielle wasn’t as appreciative as she should be and pulled her aside to tell her she should be more happy and excited. But when 18k is spent on something as an eleven year old’s birthday, not even a big benchmark such as 16 or 18 or even 21, then her reality is just wack. At least Kim knows she spoils her daughter, saying that she herself wasn’t spoiled growing up and had to work for everything. On the upside, she does plan on getting her daughter involved with charity work to see how real kids live.
