Real Southern Belles

MORE Shea!! I am loving the fact that she and her daddy are planning a wedding - how cute! Trivial things don't get in their way, ..like the fact that's she not been asked to get married and every time she brings it up, he looks like he wishes the floor had an escape hatch.Why would an attorney from another state move to Louisville? He seems pretty fucked up. What will he do about Shea? And Daddy?

Hadley Hartz is too normal, level-headed and stable for reality tv. Rather like DeShawn Snow or, as it turns out,Jeana Keough

Emily Gimmel does seem more Vegas than down South. Nothing wrong with that or nothing negative reflecting on where she came from. Ol’ Daddy Warbucks is a trip, thought these guys from another era had all passed away by now. He reminds me of that Senator from Minnesota caught soliciting for sex in the Minneapolis Airport men’s room. Think about it. If false eyelashes and hair extensions have him that upset. Oh, and a "dad's nightmare"?

Why so little Julie? That was the saddest party I’d ever seen. Geez, it's not like she's got one foot in the grave!

Kellie seems to think you get to skip all the BUSINESS of putting together a BUSINESS. Poor girl. I loved the meetings where everyone pointed out to her that she has nothing. If it were as easy as just putting up a shingle, well, never mind. Attract freaks much, especially the married one?

watch what happens......oh no, not Bravo.

Excerpt from "Cop Without A Badge"

“Southern Belles” Thursday Night “Crack”

The women in this series are all single.  They are Kellie Frey, 32, Emily Gimmel, 24, Hadley Hartz, 26, Shea Johnson, 29, and Julie Smith, 34.

The first episode moves quickly as it introduces each Belle's personal story line. Frey is a two-time high-society divorcee learning to stand on her own two feet.

Shea Johnson is the girl waiting for her fiance to propose so she can start her life. She’s the one the audience will love to hate. Most of the show was about her, so we got to  see what a bitch she is.

Johnson is a real-estate agent but was born into money. In the premiere, she's portrayed as totally at peace with her privileged life, which includes flying to Chicago in a private plane to shop for engagement rings. We get to sit in on a consultation in which the lowest-priced ring is $250,000.  Does the boyfriend buy?  Hell no.

Hadley Hartz's story line focuses on her learning to make the right career and companion choices.

Emily Gimmel describes herself as "The anti-Southern Belle."  If that means losing an entertainment reporter job after being convicted of drunk-driving, then it makes sense.

Julie Smith, from Florence, Ky., is trying to break back into the modeling business at 34. She seems to have been thrown in gratuitosly,as the token black, like Kim Zolciak is the token white on The Real Housewives of Atlanta. Unlike Kim, however, she seems to have little or no story line, other than being (and looking) too old for modeling jobs other than “soccer mom”, as she was told by an agent.

Interesting enough for a “look-see”.  On Soapnet
