Its a new year, Househeads (Im trying that out, does it work?
Will these two finally truly mend fences?
Melissas shipment from Milan just arrived!
Credit: Bravo
Those 12 minutes she and Margaret spent in that showroom in Italy really paid off.
You went all the way to Milan for that?
Joe Gorga asks, not unreasonably.
Though of course hes not asking from a place of fashion, hes asking from a place of noodles.
Speaking of parties, Margaret is planning one at her house.
I need to pause here for a sec and address Margarets strapless comfy jumpsuit.
Have you ever gotten a good haircut from someone with a really bad haircut?
Thats how I feel when I look at Margaret.
Does this seem bitchy?
I think it seems bitchy.
But truly, her clothes are horrible.If they make her happy thats all that matters.
Margarets having a party.
(Are these books how the Giudices can afford to keep their house?
Ive never quite understood that.
Im not wishing that on them, merely asking.)
Anyway, cover shoot!
She hasnt told him yet this seems cray, no?
and she seems a bit nervous about the prospect.
(You guys, I have been doing yoga wrong.)
Thats the way it is.
This is a really tough one!
Imagine that you really love someone who does something terrible to someone else you love.
Its easy to see why the kids stopped talking to her but also…nobodys perfect!
And Margaret says that she and Jan are better as friends, which I believe.
(This is turning into a bit of a theme.
Which like, OBVIOUSLY!
Older child Christine wont sit down with her, but Jillian will.
(They are, BTW, 23 and 19.
Jillian is a real cutie pie.
Pretty and sweet and clearly very protective of her mom.
Teresa, in her Teresa way, says, Sorry about what happened years ago.
Not, Im sorry about what I did.
If I could take it back, I would, Teresa says with tears in her eyes.
I take full responsibility for what happened and Im truly sorry.
Teresa doesnt do apologies, so this is huge.
When Siggy tells him that she accused Margaret of being an anti-Semite, he says, No.
I wouldnt want to accuse her of that, and adds, Look whats happened to you.
She has succeeded in turning you upside down.
Her father, who actually lived through the Holocaust, has a more measured response.
Stay away from Margaret, he tells his daughter, and its the best advice weve heard.
Joe seems to have two controls complete allegiance to his sister or complete allegiance to his wife.
Now that hes annoyed at Melissa, hes bad-mouthing her to Teresa and berating her.
For one thing, why you gotta be so extreme?
The troublemaker is the one whose name rhymes with Flemesa).
In her confessional, Dolores admits that she thinks its a little rude.
Sure, Dolores pushes Siggy sometimes, but in very small ways.
He said Siggy should be cordial but not get too close.
Siggy, as she is wont to, heard only the part she wanted to.
And as Margaret points out, she just recently joyously accepted her party invitation.
If you ask me, its high time for some more butt pellets.
Until then, Househeads.
(Still no?)
