Lisa Vanderpump is the Ish

"Faye was like a pantha, prowling through the jungle" That line. I mean. I just love 99% of the things that come out of her mouth. You can see this crucial moments in seconds 15-35 in this video. If you don't watch the show, don't even bother, you wont get it.



First of all she looks almost exactly like my mom. Ok, the glammed-up, curvier version of my mom. But, basically twins.

She isn't your typical RH on Bravo who you feel guilty/stupid for watching.

- Whenever the other cast members freak out on her, she remains perfectly calm and cuts right to the point with a poignant and embarrassingly accurate comment that completely turns the tables on them while simultaneously high-lighting one of their many character flaws.

- Her choice of clothes and dresses are spot on every time. She takes classic silhouettes (some of which you could find in Banana Republic dresses - not even kidding) and has them tailored perfectly and in beautiful fabrics and colors that compliment her skin tone.

- Her makeup is phenom. Here is the first woman with an older face who's make-up is modern and age-appropriate that I've seen in a long time. Notice her color choices:

I bought her book recently in the spirit of continuous life improvement - I have no idea what it's about exactly- but it's her 2 cents on things, and thats enough for me. I have no doubt it will rule.

I think its important for every girl and woman to have a celebrity to relate to and reference. These people have access to stylists, make-up experts, health experts, and top quality everything. If you're in a rut, you just do some google-image searches and you will literally find a palette of pictures to choose from. For people like my mom, who knew how to manage their beauty in their youth and are now handsome older women, its nice to have someone who at least looks like they're aging naturally to look to for inspiration.
