Last night I watched the Real Housewives of Atlanta and most of the episode was dedicated to Lisa Wu Hartwell's viewing of her new fashion line "Closet Freak." I have to admit that I love the name of her clothing line and I think the meaning will be different for every woman. Obviously her clothing line was not made for lovely plus size women but her and Evelyn Lambert's work and vision is fantastic. I am not a fashion guru or have much fashionable and trendy taste, but I can appreciate pretty clothes. When you look fab you feel fab and I think their vision is aligned with that saying.

Now on to the haters! Sheree was hating on Lisa big time and she should be ashamed of herself. Her son probably did have a recital and if so, Sheree had a very good reason for arriving late. But that could have been a lie, at this point, it's all speculation. Kids are more important than anything and their events should not be missed. If that is the truth, why didn't Sheree tell Lisa that her son had a recital and she would be very late. But at the same time Sheree does not need to tell everyone her business and what she is doing every second of her life. The male stylist, I think his name was Tracy, did not have to jump on her like that. Sheree could have been in a sticky situation and just did not want to tell anyone.

What I didn't like about Sheree was that she was hating big time regardless. Since when is she the fashion guru? People who watch the show probably did not know Sheree before last season. We know she was married to a great football legend, she has an older daughter she denies, was a hood rat back in Ohio and is not the nicest person. She seems to live well above her means and only cares about herself. That is why her fashion show seemed to be falling apart again but she is always asking for way to much. Build a reputable following of your work and then become a diva, not vice versa. Maybe she was always into fashion but she did not start her fashion line until the wonderful people at Bravo came knocking. Does she travel the world attending fashion events? Did she intern with a famous and accomplished designer? Where does her vision come from? I think the answer to all these questions is no.


She complains about Lisa not knowing how to sow or sketch but neither does Sheree. Sheree and Lisa are doing the same thing but no one is a copycat as Sheree called Lisa. Sheree does not have the business sense or acumen to pull off what Lisa accomplished in less than a month. However, what market is both ladies serving? Sheree is hating big time and we have no sense of her business plans or goals. What demographic does her fashion line serve? Is it local, regional, national or worldwide? I haven't seen anything from Sheree that seems she has her shit together. Maybe she is suffering in the background and taken on to much than she can chew. This is a lot financial burden.

I was not feeling how Dwight and Nene both commented that the show was a great try but not cigar. Nene is the least fashionable person on the show. Is Dwight a celebrity stylist now among his many talents? Who is he in the fashion industry? I am sure he is somebody but do people rely on him for sound judgment is what I wonder. Everyone has an opinion on fashion but who are the top fashion gurus and experts? It's definitely not Sheree, Lisa, Nene, Kim, Kandi or Dwight.

Let's be real now and stop fronting. Most of the ladies on this show are fronting but it's okay to do a reality TV show for a personal agenda. It's okay to push solo albums, fashion lines, non-profits, wig lines ,etc. Bravo afforded some of these ladies (except Kandi) the opportunity to pursue their dreams and its wonderful that they are. But the cattines needs to stop and they need to support each other.
