As the former year draws to a close and a new year begins, I am always inspired by the charitable deeds of others.
The holidays often draw attention to those that are less fortunate, and I truly admire anyone who offers support, assistance and encouragement to people in need. In fact, I am motivated to pay this goodwill forward myself, and am making it my first order of business as we transition into 2018.
There are many organizations I try to donate either time or money to throughout the year – my favorite causes being the St. Vincent de Paul Society, my church – St. Dominic’s of Benicia, the Food Bank of Contra Costa & Solano, Tony La Russa’s Animal Rescue Foundation, and the Cancer Support Community – my efforts with these groups will continue.
However, there is a special group of women who have recently caught my attention, and I am now making it my mission in life to help them through their unfortunate circumstances. Although these women are actually more fortunate than most, they do suffer from one of life’s harshest realities…
POOR TASTE.
Watching the last season of the Real Housewives of Orange County was one of the most excruciating experiences of my life. As if the ridiculous and repetitious behavior of the cast members wasn’t bad (and boring) enough, I found myself being forced to focus on their outfit choices, which were either way too young, way too tight, way too short, way too see-through or JUST PLAIN WRONG. Seriously, each and every one of their atrocious ensembles should have a warrant out for their arrest by the Fashion Police.
Ladies, you have the right to remain silent!
Now wouldn’t that be nice…
