You know those reality TV shows where women do nothing but get drunk on cocktails and drama? Well, my gal pals and I recently had an evening full of booze and filming minus the screaming.
After being contacted by a producer to shoot a sizzle reel for a potential reality TV show, I wondered how laborious it really is to be a ‘housewife’ (insert any reality character here). Shooting footage this past weekend I found out first hand that it’s no joke.
For instance, you have to stand and smile with perfect lighting…
One Southern housewife + one crazy cat lady + one mama-to-be = good TV?
You have to sit and chit-chat endlessly…
Couch work can equate to exhaustion.
We had to document the end of each scene with a photo…
It’s hard to smile this big.
We had to get our gab on, while trying to look our most fabulous…
Serious, serious phone calls.
We were forced to sit and gossip while incorporating a big-headed Teddy Bear…
Spotlight on the mighty feline, please!
We were coerced into sitting under hot lights…
Smoldering trio.
Which forced us to cool off with more libations…
Keeping it classy.
And more cocktails had to be guzzled while setting up between scenes…
The grueling process of lounging.
While one of us was hard at work…
Making the magic happen.
The other two of us were very busy bottoming up…
Seriously prepping for our next take.
To ensure our behavior was within ethical standards, one husband tried to help the producer wrangle three ladies during the evening…
Mr. Husband and Miss America (who clearly hates this process).
Of course while we were hurrying up to wait, we had to conduct a selfie photo shoot in the hallway…
We hate cameras.
Because being interviewed on film can be compared to forms of torture (obviously), we figured out how to make it less stressful…
Does this martini match my outfit?
Then we had to watch playback of ourselves…
Too bad we don’t think we’re entertaining.
As you can see, being filmed is extremely assiduous but we somehow managed to trudge our way through the evening…
Blowing the testosterone out of the water.
Which led to us to celebrating the only way us Nashville housewives know how…
Remnants of a wrap party.
This is obviously serious business.
Which why we can’t wait to do it again.

Oh wow, this is cool! I hope it leads to hugeness! Fun photos!
Thanks so much! Regardless of what happens, a super cool experience with fabulous memories to boot. 🙂
Hate off to Mr Hubby for being able yo herd cats…you girls ready to be world famous? It’s a no-brainer if your photos are anything to go by.
…stupid fingers, that was supposed to Hats, not Hate…sheesh!
Hate/Hat – I got you. Typically it’s not my fingers messing up but my blonde brain. And we’re ready for the world…but is the world ready for us…?!
AMAzING! I want everyone to fly out here for a SoCal beach visit and let me be in it too.
Oh believe me, you’re on top of the list!
Martoonies and barefoot? This has bravo written all over it!
I’m just hoping I get to be on WWHL with Andy C. Even if it’s just to tend bar!
Ted will tend bar, you will sip / guzzle / chug!
This is awesome! Let me know when the video comes out. Can’t wait to see it!
Thanks my fellow Hawkeye! Will definitely keep you posted!
Sounds like a mashing good time. Can’t wait to see you on the big screen!
So much fun in such little time, my stomach still hurts from all of the laughing! 🙂
Wow! Sounds like so much fun! If there’s an internet version I’ll make sure to watch it!
So much fun for sure. The laughs from this weekend will last a long time!
You three ladies and Teddy Bear look fantastic, CBXB. What network is making the decision? I can start an email campaign …
No network yet. Just in the baby stages of making the sizzle, which is then pitched. So just some finger crossing these days…
Cool beans. I’m ready for the next stage!
If it’s on tv up here in NYC you know I’ll be watching you sexy ladies!
Fabulous! And then, I’m coming for you to give me a tour of all of the NYC hidden hot spots!
Sweet! Interesting to see where this goes. 😉
Yes, it’s just the wait now. But we had some big laughs filming, as you can tell I’m sure.
