Crap, I just posted a comment and it didn't post. Any way, nice post. You look beautiful with the no wrinkles, long lashes, those gel nails and oh, your hair, plus that new lip gloss.

Yes, an explanation of Cedar Point would be...nice.

DeDe

Reading this post made me hungry, imma go toast a toaster streudel. That color is lovely on you.

d-lou...not duffy-lou

Okay, you know how we analyze the photos and look at everything BUT what you want us to look at?

The picture of your lovely lip gloss on the retro table...is that a cigarette burn on the table? Because if so, I think it's my grandmas old table.

Cigarette burns on the table=priceless patina.

I am glad you survived the fasting.

I cheated once on a fasting blood test. Hey, I was pregnant, hungry, and completely out of control! On my way to the lab, I stopped at the store and picked up a two pack of chocolate frosted cream filled cupcakes. Oh, they were delicious. There may also have been some gummy bears consumed too. When my blood sugar levels came back sky high, I had to confess. Humiliating is what it was. My husband drove me to the repeat test.

I also do not have an anorexic gene in my body. I get headachy, cranky, and desperate when I'm hungry. See above.

Sally Struthers - still snorking!

Mother

Let's note that the dog is on the couch.

Just Paula.

Kwashiorkor. Dying.

I always use Coney Island as my amusement park ref, but hey, DisneyWorld is good, too.

June Gardens

BUT SHE LOOKED SO CUUUUTE. Like your dogs are never on the couch.

Anita

Wow, look at you? Your nail are perfect,lashes long, lips glossed and your crevasse is gone! Too bad you have to go to work.

I like those colors. I have heard good things about BOBBAYYY, and I've always wanted to try some of her makeup.

I don't think I could ever be anorexic because I'm Italian and we love food. Nor could I be bulimic because I can't make myself throw up. I have tried. I an inept.

Letha

Crevasse! Doesn't sound like a reference to the forehead. Which looks lovely.
Love the couch photo. Awwww.

DonnafromBoulder

So what are you thinking about the Botox? Like it? Worth it?

June Gardens

Oh, this is hardly my first Botox. Get it.

sandra

I have been wondering about your nails, they look so pretty. Still wondering about the off brand latisse...anyone? Hello?
I could also never be anorexic, the only times I have ever not been able to eat were after a horrible break up, like the fiasco last year. If I know I am not supposed to eat that is all I can think about, and I get so weak and jittery and feel like I may die. Not like have enough fat stored to last several weeks without any problem. I did that stupid HCG diet last year too, where you could only eat 500 calories a day. NEVER again!
Hope you and your lip gloss have a happy day!

Anita (bahahahahahaa!!)

So you were not a virgin?

The Furry Godmother

Sandra, a couple of us on here use Rapidlash. But I have to say, my lashes are much longer than usual, but nothing like the Latisse!

Dogs are always supposed to be on the couch. they're in the house more than I am, right?

sandra

Thank you Furry! At this point anything is an improvement over the little stubbles that I have!
Talu is technically on a blanket, not on the couch. Big difference!

Suzanne

That lip gloss looks good on you.

Sadie  - Yeah, I'm old.

I wonder if Mother's last name is Brown because what immediately came to mind when I saw your long-lashed, lip-glossed, lovely-haired picture was "Mrs. Brown, you've got a lovely daughter!"

Lisa TPO

I think the knock-off Latisse was called Rapid Lash. I read it in this blog's comments. I feel like this blog morphed into one giant issue of Cosmo magazine. With a side of Us Weekly. Can we get the dogs all dressed up and vote on Who Wore It Best?

So I'd love for RHOBH comment of the week to go to Brandi, who eloquently said about her ex, "I don't think of him in my thoughts."

She's on the Today Show right now plugging her new book, "How to Keep Your Thoughts from Influencing Your Thinking".

Jeanie

I have to have blood tests at least once a year. I'm at the lab before 7:00 a.m., but I get up extra, extra early, and what KILLS me is the wait to have coffee. Arrrgghhh!

You look absolutely beautiful. Love your nails, the gloss is a perfect color for you, and your EYES!!

Why isn't my boy Eds on the couch, too?

Jill Munroe...who wants to go eat at Villa Blanca just to meet fab Lisa.

I do not understand the anorexic breed. How can anyone not love to eat?

Love the gloss! Need the name!

I could also too watch RHoBH EVERY SINGLE DAY! After watching last night's installment, I have decided that Adrienne is a complete assbag. She is jealous of my fabulous Lisa!
VIVA LA LISA!!!!

Beverly

I decided to start having smoothies for dinner made with fruits and greens (to be healthier and to lose some weight). Last night was the first night and 30 minutes later I would have killed someone for an actual dinner. I think it's because I didn't get to chew something. In a million years I could never be anorexic.

Peter, who grew up riding the amusement rides at Lincoln Park near New Bedford.

I know nothing about (1) Botox; (k) lip gloss; (#) anorexia; (9043z) dieting; or (+) RHofBH. So all I can say is that June Gardens looks radiant.

This is one of those days I'm glad I'm a guy.

Just Paula.

What scares me is when I see anorectics on shows (HBO documentary, Intervention) I think they look GREAT. Skeletons wrapped in parchment paper and I'm all, can't I get anorexia for a little while? Sick.

Kim in Columbus

I was ridiculously excited when I saw your Bobbi Brown palette! I have it and absolutely love, love, love it! I should also thank you for recommending the Naked palette from Urban Decay last year. I just replaced it and still think it's the best eye palette going.

June Gardens

I know, Paula. My father likes him a skinny girl, too. He will see those documentaries and be all, if she could just lose a few more pounds she would be perfect. How I did not end up with an eating disorder is beyond me.

Mrs Blue

Love the gloss, you rock it girl!!!

I'm w/Just Paula, I just want it for a little while...yeah, about 15 pounds worth!

June Gardens

I LOVE my Naked Eye palette by Too Faced, as well. Hi, Peter.

Poochie (I'll make a pass at a girl in glasses.)

If you don't like pets on the couch (bed/chairs/table/your lap), you shouldn't come to my house. They live here so they get first dibs. Pet hair = love.

Speaking of which, JG, when are you coming to dinner?

Mary Lou

You're looking particularly lovely today, June- with the glossy lips, hair and nails...Glossariffic!
I hate fasting for blood work but fortunately have a lab one block from home that opens early- jump out of bed, run over for the bloodletting and grab a McCoffee.
Starve myself? HA! I love strapping on the feed bag-
Unfortunately, due to body type, I've been accused of being anorexic over the years and it always pissed me off-
People wouldn't say to someone who's overweight "oh you're so fat, why don't you stop eating" but felt it was OK to criticize my scrawny self.
I would kill for boobs with cleavage and soft, shapely shoulders-
Lu and Iris look so sweet!

June Gardens

Whenever you invite me. Seeing as I still have flax and tuna in my cupboard. Did you know there are doughnuts in the Red Room today?

Helen who hates the fasting bloodwork but has to have it done every 3 months!

Since Pamela Soul Sister #2 got to tell her story yesterday, today Ima tell mine. True story: went to get my fasting bloodwork done a couple of weeks ago and they couldn't find my veins. In either arm! I was actually a little sick to my stomach while they were digging around. Finally the head vampire looked me in the face and yelled, "Someone get some OJ stat!" Then they told me to wait a few days for the wounds to heal and come back. It was my worst nightmare come true.

The Zadge

Speaking of makeup, did you notice all the RHoBH had white eyeliner and purple eyeshadow on? And, if I had any respect for Adrienne, it's gone after last night. She is a plastic face mean girl. I love Lisa. I think I will talk in her British accent all day today.

Duffylou - I really wish I wasn't a food addict now

Senior year in high school I was a stick figure. My diet consisted of Pepsi and cigarettes. Oh. There was beer, too.

I was 5'8" and weighed 105#. I was also goth before gothic was popular. My mom was so freaked.

Pamela Soul Sister NUMBER TWO, emphasis on the # TWO...thanks for the laughs yesterday...I have a long road of dental work ahead and will need more laughs, please.

Oh Helen, your story was much more breakfast-friendly than mine. I, too, also share the disappearing veins...makes for some bruised arms after bloodwork.

Love the lip gloss, nails, hair, lashes, and glasses, Junie.

Stephanie, who is going to watch the RHoBH reunion show on On Demand right now!

I have no words. A funny blog (June Gardens, causing desperate housewives leave their groceries to thaw out on the counter since 2012), advice on beauty products and botox, witty banter about RHoBH (am I the ONLY one who thought Paul farting after his colonoscopy was funny?), and a lot of smart, humorous commentators. Seriously, I now have a reason to quit Facebook for good. And yes... Adrienne is a total assbag.

Terri R

Oh, it was white eyeliner? I thought all the housewives just decided to apply their own makeup for a change and that it was just gloppy eyelash glue. Professionally applied white eyeliner makes SO much more sense.

Anita (white eyeliner is back?)

I have bad veins too Helen. They are always telling me the roll. I almost kissed a man once when he got my blood on the first try.

Hulk (My buddy Dave and I always say we like a gal with a little "sumthin'" in the back.  BUT YOU AREN'T FAT!  YOU'RE PERFECT THE WAY YOU ARE!)

Peter's a guy?

Amish Annie/Paul lets go have some fun at Adventureland!

Adventureland. Our amusement park in these parts is Adventureland. I just love saying that.

The girls on the couch look like they've had a long afetrnoon of painting their nails, drinking wine and discussing boys and movies and life.

Amish Annie/Paul lets go have some fun at Adventureland!

Could I have butchered the word afternoon any worse?

Beverly

Mary Lou, I am overweight and have had more than one person say super nasty things to me about it. Unfortunately, people think it's okay to say things to anyone they feel is not the ideal body size I guess. I have a family member staying with me for the next couple of months while she's in school and we've talked about weight issues a few times (she lost a ton of weight and understands what I go through). She keeps commenting on how healthy I eat and how little I eat. And yet I look like I sit around stuffing my pie hole nonstop and people have felt like it's okay to say that to me from time to time. Genetics suck for some of us!

Just Paula.

White eyeliner? Is heroin chic back?

The girl on the HBO documentary with the feeding tube had the perfect body. Well, except for the feeding tube.

original joann--you look fabulous June, you skinny waif.

They were all ganging up on Lisa last night for the pettiest reasons, especially Adrienne. Get over yourself, dumb ass Maloof.

Brandi is hilarious with her slutty,stupid, crass ways. And that other chick with the $25,000 sunglasses is just annoying.

And how about those vile texts from Russell? What a monster! The scenes for next week show Taylor talking about popping her jaw back in place, I'm assuming after he beat her. It was awful hearing those texts.

I have no problem fasting in the morning since I often don't eat until noon. I know, bad. But I cannot go to sleep hungry. The refrigerator calls to me, keeping me awake.

suburbancorrespondent

Is putting lip gloss on a dog easier than putting lipstick on a pig?

Lisa

I, too, tinkered with anoerexia in high school. Many days I ate nothing at all. Drank a Tab for breakfast and another one for lunch. I was the first one home and convinced my parents that I had already eaten before they got home... every day. I don't think they were really paying attention. I don't know why I wasn't headachy, shaky, cranky and weak all the time. I was a straight A student, cheerleader, in pep club, drama and worked a part time job. HOW?? At 5'7" I weighed 108 lbs.

June - you have convinced me to get the gel on my next mani-pedi. I can't believe how good that looks after two weeks. Do you actually use your hands or just keep them encased in plastic? I generally get my first chip getting my keys out of my purse on the way out of the nail salon. And it's all down hill from there.

Lisa

Oh, and thanks again everyone for the Lisa-love today. We Lisas of the Pie thank you.

June Gardens

Lisa, since my manicure, I have bowled, taken out the trash many times, done my paint-by-numbers, constructed a house, thrown the discus, gotten a baby out of a burning building, peeled tar off a road, run my hands through gravel and shoved my paws in the garbage disposal. Somewhere in there I began lying a little.

Mary Lou

Beverly-
We just can't win, apparently-people are just bloody rude, aren't they?!
Wish I'd said "have YOU looked in a mirror lately?", instead of trying to explain and getting the smug, all knowing look in return-
Bitches indeed!!

Amish Annie/Paul ask me how I really feel

Beverly, it's crazy how people are so mindlessy mean. It still blows my mind how stupid many people are. You seem like such a fun, nice, positive person and all those small minded, insulated puny-brained, not-getting-any-sex idiots who say crap to you can shove it up their ***.

I'd like to see June throw a discus.

Mary Lou is impressed by the Teflon manicure

That is one hell of a manicure, June!

Amish Annie/Paul

If there's a Hulkapalooza #2, there should definitely be a discus throwing contest. And pastries for the prizes.

Linda in CO

Hulk, youe little sumthin is in the back? Pictures, please?

Duffylou -people should think before they speak

I still remember being at a garage sale a few years back. A lady asked me when I was due. Seeing that my youngest is 21, I dryly replied, 15 years ago...(or however long it really was.) I do believe she was embarrassed.

Letha

I have met Beverly. She is hot. Hair, skin, makeup, clothes, very put together. And after a conversation with her, she was even more hot.

Lisa Pie never says "Awww" when my own dogses are on the couch!

One of my friends I play Mah Jongg with got the gel manicure last month and it is going strong.

That picture of Tallulah made my heart beat a little faster and I said "Awwww" out loud.

Beverly

Awww, Letha....thank you!

Letha and Sadie are hot too! We need to have another get together soon.

Deb who wishes she was smart enough to buy back up bottles.

Heads up about Latisse - I used it for a while religiously and sure enough - amazing lashes- I was leaving mascara trails on my eyebrows. Heck, I didn't even NEED mascara they were so dark and lush. Then I ran out and didn't buy it for a month. My lashes totally reverted to their blond, wimpy selves. I started using it again but my lashes have NEVER again looked as good as they did on the first go round. Latisse. It's the new meth.

The Furry Godmother

I swear a gel manicure NEVER chips. ANd you cannot get it off. Seriously. Mine finally fell off like little petals because my nails grew out from underneath it!

So sorry, Beverly, Duffylou and Marylou. People can be so mean.

PJ When the angels ask me to recallllllll the thrill of it allllllll, I will tell them I remember youuuuuuuuuuuu.  High school senior year.  Music is powerful.

June, are those the glasses we bullied you about a while ago? This is a great picture of them. Very cool lines.

My fasting blood test is this Tuesday and I figured I could sneak a half a cup of coffee before hand...do ya think? Anybody get away with that? It's not until 10:00 AM so I figured I'll stay in bed until 9:15 AM.

PJ When the angels ask me to recallllllll the thrill of it allllllll, I will tell them I remember youuuuuuuuuuuu.  High school senior year.  Music is powerful.

We have a sunroom with a couch that overlooks the patio and back yard. For years we are out there sweating, slaving, stinking, digging, hauling, and the dog? Lying on his sheet, inside, on the couch watching us. All air conditioned or heated, as is appropriate. Dog is smarter than people.

Sadie - Yes, we need another Atlanta Junefest.  Maybe June will even join us next time, she said hopefully.

Thank you, Beverly. You, Letha and Tee are beautiful ladies indeed. Glad I've had a chance to meet you all. And, of course, Her Royal Highness June Gardens without whom none of us Pie Peeps would be here. So very glad to have met her gorgeous self.

 Peter, who is as macho as the next guy but has to run over to Hermes now to pick up a man-bag.

Hulk, I would have gotten back to you earlier, but I was having a gel mani/pedi and couldn't type before my nails dried.

Of course I'm a guy! Silly.

June Gardens

Peter, gel manicures dry immediately. Nice try, though.

Ruby Blue, expert on hot guys from waaaaay back, ummm hmmm.

Peter, Hulk, Steve et al: Any guy on this blog has definitely got a 'little sumthin' somewhere!

Chelle

Tallulah looks tiny in that picture! She definitely doesn't need fashion mags, she's already got the look! I hope she enjoys her lip gloss!

Jane

If someone is eating healthy and still not losing weight, perhaps they aren't eating enough? Without enough calories, the body will go into starvation mode and hold on to every calorie.

Best is to amp up exercise while cutting calories to a manageable level (not extreme). Your doctor can give you an idea of how many calories you need.

 Peter, who thinks Lincoln Park may be a bit too dark for his skin tone and now won't be able to get it off for weeks.

Wow, June! I can't believe you just outed me.

Beverly

Thanks, Jane! I've actually been told by a number of people that I probably don't eat enough, but I have a difficult time forcing myself to eat more when I'm not hungry. I guess I need to try though. And I definitely need to work on exercising more or, you know, some. Ha!

Hulk (I have not had the pleasure of meeting said Beverly...)

"...and all those small minded, insulated puny-brained, not-getting-any-sex idiots who say crap to you can shove it up their ***."

I was thisclose to being offended Amish until you got to the part about saying crap to Beverly...

Tawny

So last fall when I turned 36 my gift to myself was a complete physical that included bloodwork and, of course, fasting. Because we were going to be in Vegas for my actual birthday, we went out with friends to celebrate a couple of days prior. And of course I chose the night before my bloodwork. They said not to eat after 9pm. So of course we went for all you can eat at the Thai-Japanese and me being the glutton I am, I ate and ate and ate until exactly 9pm.

The next morning I went for my bloodwork and when my test results came back my doctor must have said WTF and called me back in for another urine test.

It would appear that copious amounts of fat showed up in tests and the doctor thought I was a heart attack waiting to happen.

If I had to guess, it was the double order of deep fried calamari and fried oysters and tempura and all those spicy tuna rolls. Oy.

Hulk (Seriously...Peter's a guy?)

I actually am attracted to many different body types of women...

Copnversly women of all body types are not attracted to me.

I gotta yin-yang kinda thing going here...

Hulk (Stupid lack of sleep...)

Maybe it's my spelling...

Heather P

Having lived with two diabetics who had to have fasting blood work every three months I can tell you we have been told by the different nurses that black coffee(no cream, no sugar) will not harm the results of said bloodwork, but you should check with your own health care provider to make sure which test you are having. This was so important because my poor mother could not function without her morning coffee. Sadly I'm becoming the same way.
June you look marhvelous today!

Beverly

Well, Hulk, if you ever make it down to Atlanta we'll have to meet up. But you'll probably have to beat me, Letha, Sadie, Lindy, Fay and Tee off with a stick. (Am I missing anyone else?)

Hulk (Wow that's bad...)

Hey can we talk about the new Van Halen songs? I'm pumped! Hold on. Let me go listen first...


Never mind...

Amish Annie/Paul

Tattoo tattoo. Yawn.

Tammi V.V. -

The new Van Halen songs (I've heard two now) are AWFUL. It's so sad when old bands put out something new just so they can keep touring and singing the old, good stuff.

Just Paula.

Like anything could top David Lee Roth's "Just A Gigolo."

Letha, off a bridge

David Lee Roth makes me wanna Jump.

Just Paula.

And let's not forget Sammy Hagar's "I Can't Drive 55."

Amish Annie/Paul

I will say Runnin' With The Devil was probably their best song. Now they're just runnin' with the dinosaurs.

Amish Annie/Paul really wants to attend a VH concert but just doesn't think they can put on a good time anymore. Maybe if Michael Anthony hadn't left...

I've seen Van Halen with Roth, Van Halen with Hagar and Roth solo. The original lineup in the late 70's/early 80's put on a fairly decent concert, saw them several times. Eddie's guitar work was amazing and David Lee Roth wasn't a shriveled up old STD infested prune like he is now.

Saw Roth solo after their original breakup. Total boring showman with no substance. Quite frankly all I can remember is him hanging from the rafters or some crap.

Van Halen with Hagar. Um, kinda boring too but not near as bad as Roth solo. By then, their newer songs were just too different from the first few albums.

Tee

When is the Atlantafest?

Beverly, I just had my physical and was discussing w/the PA about my weight and how disgusted I am because Hubby has lost weight and I haven't lost and ounce and we mostly eat the same thing, except after dinner he grazes until he goes to bed and I don't. She ask about my sleep and I told her I don't. She said that could be the problem. Also, I never thought about not eating enough calories each day. Humm, I might have to start counting.

Beverly

I have a lot of sleep issues and have been told that may be part of my problem as well.

We can have Atlantafest anytime! Are you on facebook, Tee? We could all private message each other there.

Jane

If you aren't sleeping at least 7 hours a night, that is probably part of the issue. This is an older study, but worth reading:

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC535702/

Hulk (Saw him once from 5th row center...)

Saw VH with Sammy twice and Sammy solo twice. Sammy is the MAN!

Letha,

Dudes, refresh! June reposted.

Lisa TPO

Gimme Van Hagar over Van Halen any day...ANY DAY!!!

Terri R

Beverly and Mary Ann (and others) I am with you! The other night a friend came up to me at a party, patted MY STOMACH! and said "looks like you have put on a few holiday pounds." And she never was a close friend, certainly not close enough to ugh, touch my gut.

Tee

Beverly, I am not on Facebook, but Sadie has my e-mail address.

Brooke

I was on Amazon looking for a harness for my kiddo, when I noticed what came up under the "Other customers suggested these items" section. Initially my husband thought I was objecting to the dog harness. I still don't quite understand how someone would suggest a female strap-on harness for someone looking for a baby harness.
