The Real Housewives Of Potomac Is My Guilty Pleasure

I don't care what anyone says, but the Real Housewives of Potomac is the best show in the Real Housewives franchise and it should deserve more attention than it currently does.

The Real Housewives Of Potomac Is My Guilty Pleasure

RHOP follows the lives of Gizelle Bryant, Robyn Dixon, Karen Huger, Monique Samuels, Ashley Darby, and newcomer Candice Dillard in the city of Potomac, Maryland- which is outside of Washington D.C. It's had three full seasons so far, and RHOP just kicked off Season 4 in May. I really enjoy RHOP, because a lot of the women on this show were friends before the show specifically Robyn and Gizelle who have been deemed as the "Green-Eyed Bandits". My favorite friendship is Karen and Gizelle, because they are clearly frenemies but they still have respect for each other considering the fact that they have known each other for over five years and they definitely butt heads from time to time.

While some of the ladies are actually friends before the show, some cannot stand each other. Gizelle and Season 2 newcomer Monique Samuels didn't just argue a lot, but it was clear that they did not like each other. In the reunion special, the ladies both claimed that their relationship had improved since filming, but in Season 2, these two seemed to really dislike each other. Which made for lots of cringeworthy and watchable moments. It's funny because my two favorite characters from the show are Gizelle and Monique, because they are both so shady and they are so funny to me. Another thing I really enjoy about this show is the fact that etiquette is the utmost importance especially with the Grande Dame of Potomac Karen Huger. She always stresses the importance of etiquette which is extremely funny. Karen Huger drivers me nuts, because she acts like she is the Grande Dame of Potomac, yet her husband had issues with their business taxes. Karen Huger lives and extremely lavish lifestyle because she calls her husband "the black Bill Gates". Monique also lives a lavish lifestyle but hey at least she can say that she can afford it. One thing that this show is known for is the amount of shade each cast members throws at each other at any time and anyplace. They will have full-on arguments over who's technically "hosting" a specific event, people being kicked out of parties, and throwing shade about each other's romantic lives.

I am starting to watch Season 4 right now and I can say that it is meeting my expectations because all of the women have something to bring to the table and the shade is just starting.

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.

Blair Waldorf
Stop Hollywood

For those of you who have watched "Gossip Girl" before (and maybe more than just once), you know how important of a character Blair Waldorf is. Without Blair, the show doesn’t have any substance, scheme, or drama. Although the beginning of the show started off with Blair’s best friend Serena returning from boarding school, there just simply is no plot without Blair. With that being said, Blair’s presence in the show in much more complex than that. Her independent and go-getter ways have set an example for "Gossip Girl" fans since the show started and has not ended even years after the show ended. Blair never needed another person to define who she was and she certainly didn’t need a man to do that for her. When she envisioned a goal, she sought after it, and took it. This is why Blair’s demeanor encompasses strong women like her.
