Curves, Curves, Curves

Thanks to my mom, I have a one week pass to Curves.   When I was a gym fanatic (and I was at one time), I preferred a larger gym setting with plenty of machines, televisions, and preferrably a pool.  The Curve's setting is laid back and the concept is to work each muscle of your body for a vigorous thirty seconds, recover and then move to another machine.   You don't see many Ipods or people hanging around and shooting the breeze over machines, because everyone stays engaged.  Each thirty minutes requires you to listen and take action.  At this stage, I have to work out with a coach to ensure that the machines are done properly.   After three visits, I get to use the machines on my own.  It's really great to have someone coaxing you to do more, and ensure that you are using the machines properly.  The great part is that it's a 30 minute workout that hits every major muscle area in the body.  I haven't decided whether to join or not, but I really feel like this is what I need to get started.  At this point, I am undecided, but I will let you know the outcome next week.   

Not Model Behavior

For those of us who are watching the Real Housewives of New York, we are sure to get a treat every week.  This season, a model was brought into the mix by the name of Kelly Kelloran Bensimon.  Kelly models and she also writes for a social magazine.  Well, apparently our lovely Betthany had some unresolved issues with Kelly, relating to an incident of alleged flirting with her boyfriend at Kelly's home, years earlier.  Keep in mind that this incident is aged and should have been forgotten by now.  Any who, Betthany insulted Kelly when Kelly refused to lend her name for a charity invitation.  A lady who was unfamiliar with Kelly asked who she was and Betthany said "Madonna".   Well, Kelly was none too happy and decided to invite Betthany for drinks to rip her a new one.  Here's where it gets funny.  Kelly tells Betthany that she's acting like a child.  She goes on further to say that she does not like her and does not find her charming. She then adds, "I am here, " motioning her hands upward, and "you are here," motioning downwards.  She told her that they will never be friends.  The look on Betthany's face was priceless. I wonder if I could sell it on Ebay.  That alone made me feel justified to stay up and watch the show.  These girls are so funny because they are rich and claim to be classy.  I've seen rich, but I guess they abandon class when they get on television.   Betthany got her digs in also, but this match goes to Kelly.  Check out a little clip up top.  I'm not finished yet.  Is it me, or is Alex and Simon the most pretentious people on earth.  I don't think they have money, which was evident when they sat in their blown up swimming pool, after staying two days in an awful home in the Hamptons.  Not to mention, their home remodeling and having to stay in the home while it is finished.  They have some  money, but they are way down the food chain of the social elite of New York city.  That said, I like them both.  They have carved out a small slice of the New York society pie for themselves.  Hey, they were invited to Russell Simmons party - I wasn't.
