Story
What is it really like to be a housewife? We all want to know, but only the women we love to watch and the people who make the show have the whole story. Well, listen in close, because they’re about to tell all. Nearly all the wives, producers, and network executives, as well as Andy Cohen himself, are on the record, unfiltered and unvarnished about what it really takes to have a tagline. This is your VIP pass to the lives behind the glam squads, testimonials, and tabloid feuds. Life’s not all diamonds and rosé, but the truth is so much better, isn’t it?

At once ruthless and empathetic, this engaging memoir tells with raw honesty the story of how André not only survived the brutal style landscape but thrived - despite racism, illicit rumors, and all the other challenges of this notoriously cutthroat industry - to become one of the most renowned voices and faces in fashion.

This is the story of one of the galaxy's greatest queens, Alaska Thunderf--k 5000, as she transforms from wearing dresses made of trash bags because she has to, to wearing dresses made of trash bags because she wants to.

Story
It took me a lifetime to have the courage and the clarity to write my memoir. I want to tell the story of the moments - the ups and downs, the triumphs and traumas, the debacles and the dreams - that contributed to the person I am today. This book is composed of my memories, my mishaps, my struggles, my survival, and my songs. Unfiltered. I went deep into my childhood and gave the scared little girl inside of me a big voice. I let the abandoned and ambitious adolescent have her say, and the betrayed and triumphant woman I became tell her side.

In the spring of 2006, a new kind of show premiered on Bravo: The Real Housewives of Orange County. Its stars were tanned, taut, and bedazzled; their homes were echoey California villas; and their drama was gossip-fueled, wine-drenched, and absolutely exquisite. Fifteen seasons on, RHOC is an institution, along with The Real Housewives of New York, Atlanta, New Jersey, Miami, Potomac, and more.

Bevy Smith was living what seemed like a glamorous dream as a fashion advertising executive, blazing a lucrative career for herself in the whitewashed magazine world. She jetsetted to Europe for fashion shows, dined and danced at every hot spot, and enjoyed a mighty roster of lovers. So it came as quite a shock to Bevy when one day, after arriving at her luxury hotel in Milan, she collapsed on the Frette bedsheets and sobbed. Years of rolling with the in-crowd had taken its toll. Her satisfaction with work and life had hit rock bottom.

Story
From a young age, Andy Cohen knew two things: He was gay, and he loved television. Now presiding over Bravo's reality-TV empire, he started out as an overly talkative pop-culture obsessive, devoted to Charlie's Angels and All My Children - and to his mother, who received daily letters from him while he was at summer camp, usually reminding her to tape the soaps. In retrospect, it's hard to believe that everyone didn't know that Andy was gay; still, he remained in the closet until college. Finally out, he embarked on making a career out of his passion for television.

Publisher's Summary
The Wig, the Bitch & the Meltdown is a satirical look behind the scenes of Model Muse, a fictional reality model competition show and global phenomenon. Seen through the eyes of our moral compass Pablo Michaels - the heart of production in the helter-skelter world of Model Muse - we see behind the scenes and backstage shenanigans of the fashion/reality TV world.
As "The Fixer", Pablo is the man everyone turns to in crisis. Struggling to hold the fledgling production together, he juggles his duties to his "BFF", the ruthless and vulnerable antihero Keisha Kash, his supermodel boss, while trying to hold on to his own soul.
When the show is renewed after its sensational first season, this satire takes up where The Devil Wears Prada left us, only now we're on the runway itself. Think Crazy Rich Asians meets Ladies Who Punch and a dish of Dulce de Leche.

Mean Girls, but it’s America’s Next Top Model
So Jay Manuel has taken the plot of Mean Girls and superimposed it on a fictional version of America’s Next Top Model. Take a somehow simultaneously fresh faced, starstruck and very connected silver-haired, adopted Pablo Michael (Jay) as our Cady Heron and the supremely narcissistic supermodel Keisha Kash (Tyra) as Regina George, and supplement with a barrage of the worst possible caricatures of the most famous faces from ANTM; Runway Coach Miss Thing (Miss J), British Photographer Mason Hughes (Nigel Barker), and Judge/“World’s First Supermodel” Sasha Berenson (Janice Dickinson).
Basically: boy meets supermodel, boy becomes supermodel’s minion. Boy realizes supermodel is evil. Boy tries to fight evil with evil and people start telling him he’s become evil. Tada! Mean Girls, but it’s ANTM. (But not actually ANTM because this is fiction and ANTM exists in this world, but that’s a whole other mess…)
The actor probably made this sound better then it would on it’s own, so there’s that at least. Just go watch Mean Girls, really. They wore it better.

Meh
Meretricious, saccharin, and not very funny. I think Mr. Jay should have set the story in the late 90’s or early 2000’s to make it more believable. Since this story exists in the same world as America’s Next Top Model it requires too much suspension of belief to make it worth listening to. Overall it’s just blah.

Fan of Mr. Jay, not a fan of this book
I love Mr. Jay, and I feel bad as a fan to say that I didn’t quite enjoy this book as much as I thought I would. It has its funny moments, and a lot of comical references to real things that happened in the ANTM show, but the story didn’t really have any stand out plot lines. In addition, I felt like the narrator was a bit on the dull side and I think perhaps the book would have been better if it’d been read by Mr. Jay himself. Overall, it was so so.
