Love these women. I don't care if you think I am superficial. So are you.
And the gloves are off. Who will win the ratings battle between The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills versus The Real Housewives of New York City this season? Duh. Beverly Hills of course. I have never been a big fan or watcher of the New York housewives because–well–who cares about these run of the mill ladies who lunch? Or in the case of Bethenny Frankel, liquid lunch. The Beverly Hills broads live an aspirational, opulent lifestyle whereas the New York ladies are a bunch of yentas, living seemingly above their means or worse–Brooklyn. Needless to say the Beverly Hills broads are elegant, whereas Ramona Singer looks koo-koo for Cocoa-Puffs.
Andy Cohen and Bravo TV have a challenge on their hands, which is why they are delaying the start of the next season of The Real Housewives of New York City, as per Page Six. When you compare New York to Beverly Hills, you will come up short, because these New Yorkers are petty and not all that fabulous. Take Jill Zarin–please. Her apartment was drek-orated and borders on tacky while her day job is a schmatta peddler on the Lower East Side. What is this, Yentl Par Deux? The continuing saga of Yentl and Avigdor’s life in New York City after the pogroms in Russia, where they live happily ever after on the LES, open a fabric store (hence schmatta) and give birth to Bobby Zarin, who takes a wife from the Five Towns of Long Island? Oy. And what’s with Alex McCord and that tranny-ish husband Simon van Kempen? They go to the opening of an envelope whereas none of the Beverly Hills folks went anywhere they were not hosting. Except maybe the Tony Awards. Kelly Killoren Bensimon is a piece of work and an exhibitionist, causing her daughter to overeat—as does Jill’s kid. Did you see how stunning Kyle Richards‘ daughters are? Let’s not go there in terms of a beauty contests anyway, cause it will show you how superficial I really am. Every Housewife on Bravo does Juvederm and Botox, but the West Coast women have the best wardrobes and shoes for days. Please…take me to the Hills of Beverly–swimming pools, movie stars.

As I’m saying this, I can’t help wondering if, by the time you hear this, I won’t be obsolete.
Think I’m kidding? I’m not.
In her new book, Obsolete: An Encyclopedia of Once-Common Things Passing Us By, Anna Jane Grossman reels off a stunning list of devices, equipment and habits that were once everywhere and now are nowhere. This would include body hair, the evening news, long distance charges, housewives, lickable stamps, short basketball shorts and even slide projectors.
AUDIO EXCERPT: "I've written a lot for newspapers and magazines and I certainly worry about them becoming obsolete... In the book everything is written in the past tense. I had a hard time convincing the publisher that it was okay to write about books in the past tense."
The disposable society now comes with an encyclopedia—at least it’s an alphabetical look to the past—and its chief historian is Anna Jane Grossman.

Durban housewife Elizabeth Gumede was left penniless and without a roof over her head when her marriage of 40 years broke down.
But she and thousands of other African women married in customary unions before the year 2000 will now pin their hopes on the Constitutional Court, which will hear argument on Thursday regarding the validity of laws and codes that, in effect, declare an African husband to be the "family head and owner of all property".
Gumede's case first came before court in June as a constitutional challenge to provisions of the Recognition of Customary Marriages Act and two provincial codes that govern Zulu law.
Durban High Court Judge Leona Theron struck down the offending provisions and referred the matter to the Constitutional Court for ratification.
Evidence before Judge Theron was that Gumede did not have outside employment during the marriage. She looked after their four children and cleaned the house.
The judge, in her judgment, explained that while the Recognition of Customary Marriages Act, enacted in 2000, legislated that all customary Zulu marriages were "in community of property", this did not apply to marriages before that date.
The problem was compounded by Zulu customary law, which deemed the husband to be the owner of all property.
In Gumede's case, this would have meant that she would not be entitled to either of the properties her husband owned and she would have been left without a home.
Both the home affairs minister and the traditional affairs and local government MEC are opposing the application.
They argue that Gumede - and others like her - are protected by the Divorce Act, which empowers a court to transfer a property to another spouse if it is just and equitable to do so.
Gumede, represented by Durban's Legal Resources Centre, says this means she would have to prove to a court that she should get the property - which in itself is discriminatory.
Gumede also has the backing of the Women's Legal Centre Trust, which has been admitted as a "friend of the court". The trust has submitted that the situation not only contravenes the constitution, but other international instruments to which South Africa is a party.

In a politically correct age, they seem like outrageous anachronisms.
And there is no doubt these adverts - many taken from the first half of the last century - reveal just how much women used to be caricatured as downtrodden housewives or hair-brained office girls.
Now, a new book - You Mean A Woman Can Open It?: The Woman's Place In The Classic Age Of Advertising - brings together images which would surely cause a howl of protest if they were released today. In a politically correct age, they seem like outrageous anachronisms.
And there is... more
