Real Housewife of Beverly Hills: Camille

credit: Us Weekly 2010
I would never expect myself watching the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
Honestly, The age gap was a bit too far for me to relate.
I downloaded the episode weeks ago to kill my boredom..
 Little did I know I got hooked!! O God!!
The show was totally catty, funny, glamorous, superficial and entertaining at the same time.
Perfect portraits of the Beverly Hills Housewives. 
Paris Hilton's Aunties were two of the casts.
Plus, never seen before crazy Beverly Hills mansions.
*Review: 3.5 /5

Frank Camorra
Best MasterChef that I've tried so far for JCF.
Heard that it really took 3 weeks to book his restaurant..o wow!!
 Oh no..this was unfair!!...i could never resist an egg dish!!
 It was such a simple comfort food for me.
Creamy, Smooth and Flavorsome!!
Warm and Flavorful Soup. 
 Finger Lickin' Tiramisu Cocktail..try eating it with the cookie...!
Beef Cheek...
 Really Good Pork Belly
Best Dish of the Nite....Trust me!! Two Thumbs Up!!

Overall:
Food was really comforting and delicious!!
I never gushed too many time during the dinner.
Best part of it, we could order many times until we were super full..awesome!! 
Generous Food Portion.
The whole dinner was not too "intimidating", great restaurant atmosphere.
Totally made my day!! Superb!!
Would totally book a reservation for 3 weeks.

I never bought a single piece of Tommy Hilfiger outfit.
My impression of the brand was Classic, too Sporty, American wear. 
Something that I wouldn't wear in a million years hehe. 
Ralph Lauren, Yes!...Hilfiger, No!.
Little did i know... his house was charming and definitely a true beauty.
It has made me wonder how much the brand has developed and changed now.
Anyone has a different view on this?
