Heather Gay’s Season 1 Reunion Dress

Real Housewives of Salt Lake City Season 1 Reunion Fashion

As the inaugural season of the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City comes to a close I have to say the ‘Wife I’d most like to be friends with outta the bunch is Heather Gay. She’s fun, an expert at flirting, a successful business woman and can also give me botox. Plus, on top of all of that, based on the label on her dress I’d have to say she is an extremely, extremely loyal friend. I’m just not sure I’m fit to fight with the other woman who it looks like may want to claim her…

UPDATE: FEBRUARY 11, 2021. Tessica Brown is free from her Gorilla Glue nightmare, thanks to a treatment performed for free by a Beverly Hills plastic surgeon. According to TMZ, the procedure took four hours and included a blend of medical grade adhesive remover, aloe vera, olive oil, and acetone.

“The surgery went well. She had a lot of irritation on the scalp especially the edges of her hair, of her head because of all of the chemicals that she has put in, and the hair was actually very, very tough, very, very matted down, and it would not lift up. She’s very, very lucky that she did not sustain a lot of injury to her scalp,” Dr. Obeng told TMZ. “She’s been through a lot. I hope that you guys will learn from Tessica’s injuries, or Tessica’s ordeal—make sure that anytime you guys grab something, make sure you read it.”

It has not been an easy few weeks for Tessica Brown. The Internet can’t look away from Brown’s plight, her decision to use Gorilla Glue instead of hair spray, leaving her hair permanently (it seems) stuck to her scalp. Luckily, we’re seeing a lot of support for her; She knows she made a mistake by grabbing the spray-on glue when she was out of her usual Got2b Glued hairspray. Like everything right now, it all started on TikTok.

“My hair has been like this for about a month now,” Brown says to the camera. “It’s not by choice.” She explains how she usually uses the Got2b Glued spray when she’s done doing her hair to “keep it in place” but she was out so she used Gorilla Max Strength Construction Adhesive. “Bad, bad, bad, idea,” she says. Brown reveals she’s washed her hair 15 times and her strands won’t move. The video, which was posted on February 3, has more than three million likes and 128k comments, including from celebrities such as Shai Jackson and major influencers.

Brown took to Instagram and Twitter to continue speaking about her journey, where she now has more than 600k followers watching and feeling her pain.  After taking advice from some dermatologists on TikTok, Brown went to the ER over the weekend and was given acetone. So far, it doesn’t seem like anything is working.

Folks are rallying around her, sending her not only advice and good thoughts but also money. Her GoFundMe has raised almost $11,000 for her medical care. Beyonce’s longtime hairstylist Neal Farinah offered to help, as well as estheticians like Nayamka Roberts-Smith.

As of publication, the last we’ve heard from Brown is when she took to Instagram earlier Monday to thank everyone for their support. Needless to say, we’re sending our own hugs and well wishes as we watch her every move.

It’s 2021 and for some reason, folks still think female celebrities look like the perfect, airbrushed version of themselves on Instagram…all the time. Yes, some women are especially beautiful but when taking out the trash, grabbing coffee, staying home quarantining in a pandemic, they look pretty normal. This is a good thing! And to say otherwise is pretty misogynistic. And Cardi B is over it. In a filter-free, no-makeup video, she responds to those on social media who say she looks “weird” without makeup.

“Y’all take pictures or video of me with no makeup while I’m in motion and be like, ‘Oh, look at Cardi, she looks weird without no makeup.’ This me with no makeup, no filter. You know, you can see the little blemishes on my face, you can see my lips so chapped, I’ve been biting them all night. I woke up 20 minutes ago, didn’t even brush my hair,” she said.

Cardi looks beautiful without a stitch of makeup but that’s not even the point. She can go without makeup because she feels confident and beautiful just as she is. And we should be empowering women to feel good about themselves, not tearing them down. This goes for all genders but it’s rare a man has to deal with these types of comments just for daring to be seen without a face of foundation.

“I just wanted to let y’all know that I feel comfortable in my skin, that I’m great, that I’m happy,” she continued. “My record is doing great and just because you got so much hatred in your heart that when I do great y’all wanna put it down. You can’t, I’ma stay on top with this face, with this natural face. Makeup or not, a bitch is doing good.”

And isn’t success the best revenge?

Meredith Marks’ Season 1 Reunion Dress

Real Housewives of Salt Lake City Season 1 Reunion Fashion

If I had to summarize Meredith Marks’ style during season 1 of Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, I would say it boiled down to the 3 B’s. Which in this case are blazers, boobs and bell-bottoms. In the best way possible of course, because if I had her blazers, boobs and bell bottoms it would be my personal style too. So it’s only natural that her first reunion had a had a bit of the first two, while swapping the b in bell-bottoms for bronze.

And that concludes todays Big Blonde Hair Language Arts lesson. Don’t worry, as always, if you steal Meredith style you’ll all get a B an A.
