You know you could, would or should be a REAL Housewives of Beverly Hills if ….
1. You have gotten drunk with Pepe at the Polo Lounge.
2. You know who Pepe is.
3. You order truffle eggs benedict at the Beverly Wilshire – even though it costs more than the steak.
4. You will only go to the Cedars emergency room, since you have donated there, or know someone who has.
5. You do not eat anywhere NEW unless the chef there is from a very OLD restaurant.
6. You know exactly three Dohenys, two Chandlers, one Spelling and a Speilberg.
7. You personal know the owners of Nate n Al’s, Kate Mantallinis and the former Gardens on Glendon, Tallerico, the L.A. Clippers, Jerry’s Delis and Normound Realty.
8. You remember when Whole Foods was Mrs. Gooches.
9. You have a house account at Gelsons in Century City, Mickey Fine’s pharmacy and Dr. Winters (if you have a pet).
10. You still order Chasen’s chili from Bristol Farms, and pretend it tastes the same.
11. You will never use the name Westfield’s.
12. You personally donate to the annual Beverly Hills Policeman’s ball, and carry your donor’s card in your glove box.
13. You know Will Rogers was the first mayor of Beverly Hills and that he road a horse to work.
14. You love Paul Williams and hate Frank Lloyd Wright.
15. Despite how cool the Cannes film festival is, you cringe every time you drive by that dumb sign reading: “Beverly Hills, Sister City to Cannes”.
16. You’ve seen Larry King at Nate n Al’s enough times to acknowledge him with a nod.
17. You buy your shower and wedding gifts from Geary’s, and your Sweet 16s and Bar Mitzvah gifts from Fourteen Karats.
18. Beverly Hills below Wilshire is called “Beverly Hills below Wilshire”
19. Your mom, friends mom, aunt or friends aunt was President of the Beverly Hills Women’s Club or got kicked out of the Beverly Hills Women’s club
20. You always wonder what’s going with that Trousdale estate where they grow all the pomegranite trees for POM juice.
21. Thrifty’s. Not Rite-Aid. And speaking of which – you or someone in your family use to buy spray paint from there and spent WAY too much time in the parking lot.
More from general L.A.
1. You remember when Jerry’s Deli had phones in the booths
2. You think New York is a flyover state
3. You have a beach house in the Colony but NEVER go in the water.
4. Your Jewish friends got booted from the Sand and Sea club when Aaron Spelling turned it into a set for “90210″, and your Christian friends are still snug as a bug in a rug at The beach Club
