Whatever it is, my sister Tracie got me pondering on just how different the Housewives of New York are from the Housewives of Mesa/Gilbert/AJ. Here are a few differences:
Housewives of New York marry metrosexual Australians. They buy "fixer-upper" million dolllar condos in Brooklyn. They attend fashion shows and play tennis. Most admirably, they begin writing books on "How to raise children", even though they may lie about their children being able to speak French.
Housewives of Mesa pore over the pages of "What to Expect the First Year", looking for any gems of wisdom to help them navigate through the ever-changing colors of poop and the pros and cons of using a binky.
Housewives of New York sell non-fat whole-grain calorie-free desserts to promote good self-esteem for wealthy people. This self esteem will come through promoting a healthy lifestyle rather than a hot body, as evidenced by the brand name.
Housewives of Mesa sell a variety of things, from board games to scenty candles to cosmetics. I admire all the people I know who do this because I have not one grain of salesmanship in me.
Housewives of New York do yoga.
Housewives of Mesa might do yoga but most often are found walking one or more children around the block.
Housewives of New York drive Porchses. (actually I have no idea what kind of car this is)
Mesa-ites drive Windstars. (I happen to have a wine-colored one)
Sometimes these housewives make gourmet, non-dairy, non-gluten, no-egg cupcakes.
Sometimes I make 3 cakes in one week that I eat the majority of because I'm nursing and need sustenance. Or maybe it's out of boredom. Or maybe I'm addicted to dessert. 
Housewives of NYC go to 5 star restaurants for lunch.
Housewives of Mesa go to Filibertos, or "Fili's. We order 2 pound burritos. Our stomachs hurt later but it is SO worth it.

Here are the housewives. The name is misleading because not all are wives and they don't stay at home. Their marital statuses are as follows: single mom with half-boyfriends; the countess whose husband, the count, just left her according to the tabloids; married but has a gay guy she hangs out with who helps her with interior design; single and looking; married with one kid; and married with 2 boys.

Haha, cute post, Cass! I'd rather be a Housewife of Mesa anyday. I live in the land of the Real Housewives of OC (yep, I've met a bunch over the years), and I don't envy their million-dollar dramas at all!
Cass, your so funny. I watch that show too sometimes at night. I hope your family is doing well.
Good stuff, Casth! I love that show. Did you see Simon and Alex's remodel? A little frightening. I love us Mesa housewives so much more! Funny girl.
You crack me up! I love to watch "What not to wear" which is a hoot since I have no fashion sense whatsoever and could care less what people think of my clothes. I just thinks its funny how stacey and clint point out whats wrong with certain clothes. And no, I don't want to go on the show.
Cassie, Surely you have signed up for "pimp my blog." New background, playlist, and such an extensive post with pictures. Well done. And in regard to a 2 pound burrito - - yes please.
You are so funny!!! I love this show, it's one of my guilty pleasures. We are deffinately the real housewives of AJ and proud of it!
It is my secret plessure too, to watch these shows, although my favorite is Jon & Kate Plus 8 but I hear from the Tabloids they are getting a Divorce because Jon cheated.I don't know why I like them, I think I laugh at them and that is why I watch!!! Glad I am not the only one ;) Love ya and miss ya April Meaders
