The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is fun because A) it’s like playing with Barbies who hate each other and B) it’s all play money! So last night we got to attend two fabulous birthday parties for Taylor and Kyle’s daughters, ages 4 and 2. Let’s take a look back at the prices that flashed on our screens, and a few things that didn’t get a cost assigned to them (like an appearance from Giant Elmo).

$2,375 for 25 party favor necklaces
$1,650 for Kennedy’s sapphire necklace
$1,750 for Taylor’s yellow diamond necklace

“Is this your diamond-encrusted wallet that you drunkenly dropped on the ground?”
“Why, yes it is!”

Originally from Seattle, Carla recently took a husband and moved to Austin, Texas, where she is finally using her television “problem” to her advantage. It’s sort of like Dexter, but boring and less murdering. Carla’s favorite shows include 30 Rock, The Amazing Race, Project Runway, Modern Family, anything with murder, and pretty much anything gross and weird (CSI, The Bachelor, Toddlers & Tiaras, etc.). Favorite canceled shows include: Arrested Development, Veronica Mars and Average Joe. In her spare time, Carla leads tours of downtown Austin on a Segway (don’t knock it ’til you’ve tried it!), blogs about Netflix Instant, and visits elementary schools telling children they don’t need math to succeed (just kidding, stay in school, kids).
