Wishin' and Hopin'

***Blogger's Note: I apologize for my less than often updates, school was taking up more of my time than I had anticipated, but it's done now so you all can expect more updates on my eye's view of the world.

I really don't care what anyone says, I love Bravo's The Real Housewives of...series. Granted, New Jersey and New York are the best. Atlanta and Orange County of enjoyable too, don't get me wrong. But after having to trek from school to work and maintain my house, one of my favorite things to do was just to kick up my feet and watch Jill, Bethenny, Nene, Gretchen, Caroline, and Dina.

Often, my mind would wander at what city they would tackle next and illustrate to the world what a housewife does in comparison to New York, Atlanta, New Jersey. And even more often than not, my mind would wander to the possible future days of The Real Gay Husbands of Los Angeles, in which I would star.

I could see it now, the opening credits would have the background of the LA skyline showing a variety of landmarks: the US Bank building, the Hollywood sign, Melrose Avenue with me and circle of friends superimposed graphically over them. I could say such cute catchphrases as "I am part of LA's list power-gays," or "Me and my friends run this city," to showcase power and prestige. Or, I could say things like "Everybody knows I call the shots," or "Whoever said you can't have it all, never met me," (my personal favorite). Instead of an apple, we may have to hold things like avocados. Maybe a banana for a little double entendre.

The Real Gay Husbands of LA would probably mimic New York mostly, only because I'd be a career husband as would my friends. But not only would it show me working but it would also show Tony telling me that I don't need to work and he can take care of me and the kids. I'd ponder this thought for a few episodes but ultimately decide to keep working but still allow him to sign the checks.
I'd probably have the motherly instincts of Caroline, the attitude of Dina, and the sociability of Jill. The show can also film how I get crazy on my children's teachers for stifling their creativity and Tony calling the school immediately after my scene to apologize for my antics.

I have quite a few years until I'm a Real Gay Husband of Los Angeles. I heard Bravo is doing Washington D.C. next, at least I will have something to hold me over until they call me and have me get ready for my close up.
