Uhm, new fave show alert x a million billion: have you guys heard about Million Dollar Listing NYC?

I'm already waaay the hell into Millon Dollar Listing (the regular version in Malibu) starring the dude with THE most ridick haircut in the history of the universe: Chad.

This House Is The Reason I Think Most Interior Designers Suck

Ok, so as you all know, I love bad reality TV. And the bad reality TV I probably love the most is the Real Housewives franchise on Bravo. I watch every season, know every housewife...I'm in it to win it, ppl.

The addition of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills this year has been nothing short of epic...and I pretty much love every goddmamned second of it. But these photos of Demi Moore lookalike housewife Kyle Richards house kinda make me want to take my own life.

B/c she has a beautiful house, and all the $$ in the world, and yet it's VERY clear to me that she hired a 2nd rate interior designer, with no sense of space, drama, intrigue or warmth. I mean, look at this bullshit:

Yo, Curbed National Is Here!

If you like to jerk off to real estate listings and insider-y info like I do, then you've probably spent a good amount of time on Curbed.com. They cover all the real estate goings on in NYC, San Fran, LA and the Hamptons. But now they're bigger! AND better! Cause they just launched Curbed National! Holla!

[We'll] "focus [on] all-things design, decor, and shelter, from Malibu dream houses to Wyoming ranches to Maine cabins, and all residences in between. Expect a jaw-dropping daily featured project, wall-to-wall coverage of celebrity real estate, and a healthy dose of the ridiculous. And amidst the glories of the glorious and the hideous, we'll give you scoop on the ever-changing shelter-media universe and ponder decor in TV, movies, music and politics. We'll cover little-known and name-brand interior decorators alike, and tiny design blogs in far-flung corners of the web will be treated with the same dignity as Architectural Digest."

[COOL SHIT] Vacation Houses

Here's how my relationship with real estate has worked out so far: for awhile, alllll I could think about was: "OMGZ, HOW AMAZING WOULD IT BE TO JUST OWN OUR HOME ONE DAY????" And then we did....and it *does* rock. But now what? Am I supposed to just give up and die? NOOOOO. Now my ass is just spending all day/night dreaming about a vacation house!

I'm adaptable!

Our vacation house is GORGEOUS...and adorable...and perfect. It's in the Catskills....or maybe Connecticut...or fuck it, even Pennsylvania. But its in some fab cute, chic little town, and not too far away from civilization (i.e. maybe a big movie theater...or, gasp, Tarjay even!).

'Hamptons Out of Reach?' Try This Shitty Town

Ok, look: I can't afford a house in the Hamptons. And I'm a human, breathing person, so duh...of course I'd *like* to have one.

I often think that I'd like to have any vacation house really, only I'm realizing that that's not true. Cause after reading this WSJ article, I've realized I sure as fuck don't want a vacation house in Rockaway Beach.
