The MS Women on the Move Luncheon Is an Education And KIMBERLEE “KIM D” DePAOLA Kimberlee DePaola, known in the reality television world as "Kim D", was born on April 20th to Dorothy and Augustus DePaola in Paterson, NJ. She grew up in the small town of Elmwood Park. In second grade she attended St. Leo's School where one of the nuns called her an "article". To this day she is still trying to figure out what she meant by that... Kim always had a passion for fashion. At the young age of fifteen on her summer break, she began working at a coat factory, where she modeled the inventory as well as answered the phones. After that she worked as a salesgirl at multiple boutiques, where she changed the visual displays. Clients would always throw her tips in exchange for her expert advice. At the age of twenty-three Kim opened "Kimberlee's Boutique" (Kimberlee spelled with an "lee" because she never wanted to be like everyone else). Soon after she was married and had her son, Christopher. After Chris was born, she moved Kimberlee's into her house and sold the clothes from there. Business boomed and she had many clients, some friends and a lot of referrals. She was doing what she loved. The fall after Chris graduated high school, Kim expanded her personal shopping business and opened up POSCHE. Soon after, two familiar faces walked in to shop: Jacqueline Laurita and Danielle Staub. Season 2 of "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" had just begun filming and producers were looking for a new face to shoot some scenes with the ladies. Kim caught their attention with her quick wit and "tell it like it is" persona. They started filming the girls' shopping excursions to the store and not long after, the infamous POSCHE Fashion Show, which incidentally to this day is one of the highest rated episodes in RHONJ history. Kim filmed for the next three consecutive seasons of the show sporadically. Her personal life at the time was very stressful, and in turn it was difficult for her to put aside the time for the camera. In the Fall of 2012, shortly before the Season 4 Posche Fashion Show finale aired, Bravo reached out to Kim to be the special guest on the Reunion. After her appearance, "Kim D" trended worldwide on Twitter and a few months later she got her first formal contract with "The Real Housewives of New Jersey". She was officially a "Friend of the Housewives". In Winter 2013, Kim launched her luxury cuff bracelet line called "Cuffs by Kim D", sold exclusively at POSCHE and other small boutiques in the northeast. Last fall, she created a special edition "Paw" cuff, in which 10% of all proceeds go to her favorite charity, ALL HUMANE ANIMAL RESCUE. Kim most recently appeared on Season 5 of "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" on Bravo. She was the recipient of one of the 1st ever "Real Housewives" Bravo TV Awards for "Best Supporting Agitator". .

From David Foster Wallace and Ernest Hemingway to Zane Grey, from Christian rock and country to clack cetal, from Steven Seagal to Genesis (Breyer) P-Orridge, from K-pop to The Real Housewives, from natural disasters to 9/11, from thesis hatements to professional sports, these essays find the unpopular across media and genres, and they analyze the politics and the aesthetics of an unpopular culture (and the unpopular in culture) that has not been duly recognized as such by the theories and methods of cultural studies.

She also confirmed that the two are in fact still together and engaged. In celebrity news, it turns out Vicki and Steve are still very much together. What do you do if friends and family are against your relationship? Cupid’s Advice: Gaining support of your relationship from friends and family can be extremely important for a lot of couples. What do you do if your friends and family don’t approve of your relationship? If your friends and family are against your relationship, Cupid has some advice for you: 1. Figure out why: If you’re dealing with family or friends who aren’t supportive of your relationship, first try to understand why. Chances are that your loved ones are trying to protect you, so try to understand their opinion. If they are unsupportive for valid reasons, like if your partner doesn’t treat you properly, it may be understandable for them to not support the relationship. But, if they are unsupportive for reasons that you do not agree with, you may try to warm them up to your significant other.

  • The Real Housewives of Postfeminism: False Agency and the Internalization of Patriarchy on Reality Television
    THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF POSTFEMINISM: FALSE AGENCY AND THE INTERNALIZATION OF PATRIARCHY ON REALITY TELEVISION A thesis Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Communication, Culture, and Technology By Lilian Hughes, B.A. Washington, D.C. April 23rd, 2012 Copyright 2012 by Lilian Hughes All Rights Reserved ii THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF POSTFEMINISM: FALSE AGENCY AND THE INTERNALIZATION OF PATRIARCHY ON REALITY TELEVISION Lilian Hughes, B.A. Thesis advisor: Kimberly Meltzer Ph.D. ABSTRACT The figure of the wife has been present in popular culture for many years, and interpreting her portrayal often informs the reader of the contemporary position of women in society. This study addresses the recent representation of the wife on the reality television series, The Real Housewives. Using previous scholarship on the trends in postfeminism, I investigate how the show promotes a postfeminist discourse. Specifically, I adapt Angela McRobbie’s work in order to understand the shifts both in the representation of women in popular culture and in the women’s movement. How has the women’s movement evolved from The Feminine Mystic to The Real Housewives? And how does reality television shape women’s place in society? Ultimately I argue that the current representation of women in popular culture presents an internalized sexism. In other words, I argue The Real Housewives portrays and promotes a discourse in which women have become their own oppressors. iii Acknowledgements I would like to express my appreciation for the many people who inspired and helped me to write this thesis.

  • Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} the Knot by Marty Kindall the Knot by Marty Kindall
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} The Knot by Marty Kindall The Knot by Marty Kindall. It�s the year 1936, and the locals consider Heather an odd woman. She doesn�t act like a proper woman should�she wears trousers, lives alone, and refuses to marry her long-time steady. And now she�s taken up with that scruffy Ben Sheridan, who they think, in their twisted minds, might drag their daughters off into the woods and murder them. But Heather knows what happened all those years ago, and she�s not one bit afraid of Ben or what the town thinks of her. Ben feels that probably the best thing he can do is leave Bryeton and not cause trouble for Heather�or for his mother, whom he fears is being treated badly by his stepfather, Hal. In the end, he can�t leave his mom to suffer, and he can�t get Heather out of his head. But someone else feels otherwise, and he or she will do whatever it takes to get rid of Ben�even if it means going as far as murder to get the job done. The Knot is the stuff great movies are made of�a vintage setting, a family torn apart by tragedy, and a moving love story. Very few authors can suck me into a story so thoroughly or make me fall deeply in love with the hero, but Ms. Kindall has done it here. Heather is a tough, assertive woman, yet very likeable�making her worthy of the hero�s love.

  • Star Jacqueline Laurita: “I Try My Best to Get Along with Everyone”
    ‘RHONJ’ Star Jacqueline Laurita: “I Try My Best to Get Along With Everyone” By Kerri Sheehan You may know the sassy and fiercely protective Jacqueline Laurita from Bravo’s hit reality show The Real Housewives of New Jersey, but that’s not her only claim to fame. Before we delve into this season’s drama and last night’s episode, let’s focus on a few things you may not know about Laurita, starting with the fact that this 43-year-old mother of three has her own beauty website, AltruisticBeauty.com, with publicist Suzanne Summers. The two began working on the site together after first developing a friendship. “I told her about my idea, and we decided to turn our love affair for beauty into a business. Since I am a licensed cosmetologist with years of experience and Suzanne is a beauty publicist, we make a great pair. We bring our years of knowledge to the site and also handpicked a team of other beauty and health professionals to blog with us.” Inspiration for Laurita’s company came from her days as a cosmetologist. “I had this vision for a beauty website a long time ago. I’ve spent several years educating people about cosmetics, skincare and everything beauty. I have literally tried it all.” Real Housewives viewers were an impetus as well. “Fans of my show would tweet me beauty questions constantly, so I created a platform to get all of their beauty questions answered. I get all sorts of questions from what plastic surgery procedures I recommend to how to make treatments from items in your refrigerator.
