Who knew the RHOA had such depressing background stories? I was looking forward to mocking their old faces and hairstyles, and I still will, but there’s a lot of sad stuff to muddle thrugh too. Somehow I’ll find the strength to skewer them. My life is so hard.
Nene’s mom had her at a young age and wasn’t financially stable so Nene had to live with her aunt. Nene held a grudge against her mother but used it to fuel her dreams of one day making a career out of taking her anger out on others. She was a cheerleader, basketball player and member of 4-H in school. That’s an interesting combo. In my high school, the basketball players wouldn’t be caught dead cheerleading for football season and the basketball players would have flipped the 4-H tractor so that’s great that she was able to pul that off. Nene went off to college in Atlanta and met a guy at a club. She discovered that he was abusive when they were at a party on campus and he pulled off her fake ponytail. He cried, she cried and she knew it was love.
A few months into their relationship, Nene ended up pregnant and he claimed that it was not his. Nene dropped out and went home. Her mom was prepared to reunite with Nene at this point but before she could get there, she passed away. After that tragedy, Nene ended up getting back together with her son’s father. They stayed together for five years until one night he took her from her friend’s house at gunpoint in a jealous rage. That’s just rude! He was arrested that night though and she finally ended things with him. Fortunately, this led to the eventual founding of her charity, Twisted Hearts, which served as endless fodder for those who thought it sounded like an 80’s band or a Valentine candy from Spencer’s.

Not as hard as looking that this picture though.

Bam! My ponytail is gone!

Nene ended up stripping to support herself and she admits that she enjoyed it, treated the men like ATMs and made so much money that she couldn’t stop. Why do parents always make stripping out to be a bad thing? She ended up meeting Greg “through a mutual friend” at a “martini bar” and he pursued her until she gave in out of boredom. In other words, she met him though another stripper at the club and found a sucker. Professionally, Nene was in traveling fashion shows and she was skinny! I don’t think she’s fat now but I was truly shocked. Nene then got a part in “Fighting Temptations” in which she played a stripper. She was also in a few TV shows until she landed RHOA.
I get the feeling that this marriage wasn’t legal in most states.
As a child, Kim was a Navy brat who developed her love for seamen at an early age. She was a good kid but when she got to high school, she discovered the joys of chain smoking and opening her legs to married men. Kim was kicked out of Catholic school for stealing an ice cream sandwich but it didn’t matter because she knew that she would be somebody. After all, she took ballet and jazz as a kid and got cake & flowers after her recitals. According to her, it was like having a wedding every year. FYI Kim, funerals have cake and flowers so let’s not get carried away here and 87 million other girls around the world, myself included, had the same dance experience. It doesn’t mean that you’re somebody. It means that your parents are hoping you won’t be a cow and it guarantees that for at least two hours a week you’ll be doing splits for a valid reason.

Imperfectie mag geen obstakel zijn voor iemand om te bereiken. Bovendien, welke mens in deze wereld is echt perfect? Op basis van die gedachte startte Rochelle Barrett een schoonheidswedstrijd waarbij deelnemers verschillende lichaamscondities hadden van de gemiddelde persoon, maar er toch mooi en zelfverzekerd uit konden zien. De wedstrijd Miss Unique Beauty UK is gereserveerd voor vrouwen met een andere schoonheid. "Deze wedstrijd is voor overlevenden van vuur, hebben littekens, handicaps en andere omstandigheden die ver verwijderd zijn van de meeste traditionele schoonheidswedstrijden." Alle mensen zijn mooi op hun eigen manier en we moeten dat verschil vieren, "citeerde Rochelle de Daily Mail. De missie van de 30-jarige vrouw die Miss Unique Beauty UK initieerde, is om de perceptie van de meeste mensen over de definitie van schoonheid te veranderen.
Vandaag de dag wordt de wereld van schoonheid gebombardeerd met beelden en foto's van vrouwen met een gladde huid, een slanke grote gestalte en bepaalde huidskleuren die de norm vormen dat dat betekent dat ze mooi zijn. Maar volgens hem is schoonheid niet alleen van de fysieke buitenkant, maar ook van de persoonlijkheid erin. Rochelle zelf heeft littekens veroorzaakt door kokend water toen ze nog maar acht maanden oud was. Hij leed aan brandwonden in 70 procent van zijn lichaam, wat hem tot een spotternij maakte toen hij nog een tiener was. Altijd onzeker als een tiener, deze vrouw uit Sheffield, Engeland, groeide in feite uit tot een vrouw die ervan overtuigd was. Zijn deelname aan dansshows deed hem de moed wagen om mee te doen aan de schoonheidswedstrijd Miss Caribbean UK.
"Ik hou van alles wat met mode en schoonheid te maken heeft, dus toen ik in 2015 zag dat Miss Caribbean UK de registratie opende, ik denk dat het een prachtige zaak zou zijn om te doen. Ik wist niet dat er een bikiniasessie zou zijn en eerlijk, ik weet het niet Kan ik het doen, maar tot nu toe denk ik, waarom niet? " legde de moeder van twee kinderen uit. De moed en het zelfvertrouwen van Rochette werpen hun vruchten af. Ondanks dat hij geen kampioen was, won hij de titel van Miss Personality in de wedstrijd. Van daaruit voelde hij de behoefte om zijn eigen schoonheidswedstrijd te maken om kansen te bieden aan andere vrouwen die aan dezelfde voorwaarden voldoen, om levensveranderende ervaringen te ervaren. De inaugurele Miss Unique Beauty UK-wedstrijd vindt plaats op 30 maart 2019.
