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.

This kind of job sounds great, having fun, having around your little child (Ted), and drinking cocktails, what else would like a housewife ? 🙂
A fun date with the girls at Cowboys and Crossbones + Teddy = reality TV show. Can’t wait!
Better stalk up on wine! 🙂
You three fabulous ladies would give all the other “Real Housewives” a run for their money. This is a reality show we would def. watch!
We think it’s also time for a Real Housewives of Phoenix, no? 😉

UM YES it’s time for a RHOP! And then we could all meet up in Vegas (which might end up going down in flames) for a girl’s trip. I’m calling Andy C. right now.
Hey wow! Well this is most excellent but not at all unexpected. Rather inevitable really and sure looks like you made the most of it. I’m quite proud of you!
Why thank you Phil! I think you and I were both expecting my appearance on either Hoarders of Cops but this other guy came calling first. Who woulda thought?
Well I still hold out hopes that one day I will see you on an episode of COPS standing in the background holding a cat as they drag off some shirtless, drunken, tattooed perp!
I can’t wait to make that appearance. I’ll be sure to give you a head’s up so you can set the DVR!
You guys are sparkling! Love it!!!
Well, the sequins certainly helped…!
That’s fantastic! You would make for great TV!
Teddy’s been saying the same thing for years. Only he demands top billing and the spotlight. Dick.
I hate to tell you this, but you’d be NOTHING without him!
Damn it. I knew you were going to say that.
How awesome and fun! Thanks for sharing and keep us posted on the RHON!

We keep giggling over the photos ourselves and happy to get the experience together!
Fun, drinks and friends! What’s more to ask! xxx
Couldn’t ask for anything more!
Oh my gosh! This must be what you were being ambiguous about on my blog 😉 How exciting! Seeing the photo of you on the playback screen was surreal and awesome. Please become famous. And never forget me. Ever.
Oh yes. It was so hard keeping my big trap shut! Like anyone could ever forget you. Ever. I’m coming to put you on the screen if this ever gets picked up!
Huzzah, yeah!
