Bitch Fest

Last words go to the Real Housewives of Toronto responders, because, well, they amuse us.

“The wonders never cease. Why would six apparently accomplished women portray themselves and their lives as trivial, materialistic and superficial? ‘I refuse to spend $50,000 on a purse.’ ‘I have big lips, but they’re natural.’ ‘I have 300 pairs of sneakers.’ Gloria Steinem would not be pleased.”

—Marty Cutler, Toronto

“If there were a clause in the Geneva Convention about crimes against civility and good taste, then Andy Cohen would be a wanted man. He gave the world the Real Housewives franchise. And, for some reason, Toronto felt that it had to get in on this—yet another reality show that celebrates bad behaviour and plays into the stereotype that all women are shallow, vapid, nasty rhymeswith-witches.”

—Alex Blake, Toronto
