By That You Mean

Oh…girl. This show is a dis-as-ter. But I watch! I must watch! And with another episode of The Real Housewives of New York City comes another installment of BTYM’s Photoshop of Whores. As a reminder, the rules are:

These are the people you would never dream of meeting in person — as they are obviously of the highest moral character — and yet here they are, in your living room, stunning us all with their angelic presence.
