Katie Maloney: Bravo Drama, Boys Named Tom, & Burning VPR Questions
Vanderpump Rules’ Katie Maloney joins Kaitlyn to unleash her thoughts on all of your burning questions. How does she feel about dating someone named Tom? What are her thoughts on what happened on Winter House? What went down at BravoCon? She also talks about what communication (or lack thereof) has been had with Rachel since everything went down and why she thinks she should have come back on Season 11 of VPR. We get a sneak peek of what she is excited for this season and whether or not she believes Tom Sandoval has changed. And, of course, we've all been waiting for the ‘Something About Her’ sandwich shop with Ariana Madix to open, so she explains the delay in plans and reassures us that it is not a scam—it is coming! Just be patient, okay?

Pining for a different holiday tree this year? Branch out and go live (then replant it in your yard!)
A living tree can make a fun centerpiece for your holiday celebrations! Choose from lots of different needle-bearing live trees from your local nursery. Each year, you can decorate indoors, then replant outdoors.
It's the leaves — not petals — of the nochebuena (aka poinsettia) that add that holiday color
From tropical climes to your Northeast table setting, the poinsettia is a great indoor house plant. Its leaves, called bracts, look like flower petals. And its those vibrant leaves that attract pollinators in its natural environment. Once potted up in festive foil and in your home for the holidays, here are some tips to keep it looking great all season.
Get roses, rhododendrons wrapped up for winter now before the ground freezes
Broadleaf evergreen shrubs — like roses, lavender and thyme — need protection from cold temperatures, snow and wind. Learn how to create a barrier from winter weather, using natural materials like hay and wood chips along with stakes, wire and burlap.
To overwinter dahlias, dig up the tubers and stash them in a shoebox
Dahlia blooms grow well in Vermont's climate, but they are too delicate to overwinter in the ground. Now is the time to dig them up and get them cozy for a long winter's nap so you can plant them again for more blooms next spring.
Timeline: Chevalier Part 5 - The White Chevalier
We’ve been exploring the life of Joseph Bologne Chevalier de Saint-Georges. It’s now time to address the elephant in the room. Anyone who has studied or listened to the music of Chevalier will know him by a particular nickname, “The Black Mozart” a title given after his death.
Can the wooly bear caterpillar predict the weather?
The tiger moth caterpillar, with its black- and rust-colored bands, has long been thought to be a predictor of upcoming winter weather. More likely, the coloring on these caterpillars shows what the previous months' weather and conditions were like.
Timeline: Chevalier Part 4 - Revolution
Joseph Bologne Chevalier de Saint-Georges was a world-renowned fencer, a composer, violinist and conductor in 18th century France. Even with all of his success, there was a limit to what Chevalier was allowed to achieve.
For cheery daffodils, scilla and crocus next spring, plant flowering bulbs now
The warmer temperatures that lingered into early fall means you still have time to get digging in the soil before it freezes. Use this opportunity to plant flowering bulbs soon for a big reward next spring!
Tender annuals, like geraniums, need to overwinter before cold weather hits
Got begonias, fuschia and geraniums still growing in containers on your back porch? Now is the time to bring these tender annuals indoors to overwinter.
Timeline: Chevalier Part 3 - Rising star
This is our third episode exploring the life of 18th Century French composer, violinist and conductor Joseph Bologne Chevalier de Saint-Georges. In this episode we’ll dive into the early life of this multi-talented prodigy.

Israel Isaac's Take on Becoming the Person You Desire + Not Taking Advice From People You Don't Admire
Israel Isaac shares his TAYLOR'D TAKES on:
- his evolution becoming the person he desired
- unifying lives he tried to keep separate until touching down in LA
- the reality TV phenomenon that continues to take over our social feeds - SCANDOVAL
- filming Vanderpump Rules and his relationships with castmates
- not taking advice from people he doesn't admire
- the origin behind the lyrics of his single Can I Be Me With You
- uniforms at Schwartz & Sandy’s and being expressive through fashion
- inspiring others to accept themselves and be the person they desire
- his powerful mantras like ‘friends over fans’ and ‘significance over success’, and so much more!
Taylor met Israel a few months ago in LA and was immediately drawn to his larger than life personality, conviction and contagious laugh.
Let Taylor know your takeaway from the episode by writing a review and rating the podcast!
"When I touched down in LA, I was adamant about loving myself and help others see that they can also be themselves. Go all the way with becoming who you desire to be. Don’t let anyone shun you from being your most authentic self.
I posted a picture of me in this blue dress and it blew up. And so that began the journey of me asking myself, ‘What’s it like being a Black queer Christian?’ These were lives I tried to keep separate. The more I accepted myself, the more the world accepted me.
I want to inspire people and if people feel inspired by me, I feel like I’ve won.”
- Israel Isaac

PSA: CBB will BRB ASAP!
Much like the "principals" of the #Scandoval, namely Raquel/Rachel and Tom the Scab #Scandoval, Joey and Lauren were positively delusional to think they'd be able to fit in a new episode before Joey flees the country for the UK release of It Came from the Closet: Queer Reflections On Horror (see link below to buy a copy! Happy Pride!). So while they try to get their stories straight and have their timelines match up, please enjoy a few minutes of Joey rambling about a recent top tier Housewife spotting as well his musings on how the new #RHONY could actually be pretty great (?).
See you in 2-ish weeks for a recap of the full #VPR and #RHONJ reunions! Love you, risottos!
