I don’t understand how clip-ons got such a bad name. What’s not to like? And those cufflinks and studs? I’m sure whoever came up with the idea was doing the best they could within the time period they lived in. But we have since invented buttons, zippers and Velcro. Even button fly jeans.

But only at first. What I didn’t realize is that watching that show was really just preparation for today’s big moment when I met Vicki Gunvalson, Real Housewife of Orange County.
Of course, this picture with Vicki Gunvalson was really just a ruse for John and I to get our picture taken with authentic Louisville celeb and Unbridled Eve impresario, Tonya York Dees.
