11 Times Bethenny Was Our Misanthropic Inner Voice

by Caitlyn Callegari

Grab the tricolored afghan your grandma knitted you for your birth, pour yourself a Skinny Girl margarita, and sit your wonderful tush down on some sort of plush surface, because Bethenny Frankel is coming back Bravo, and it's going to be a long time before your hermitic heart sees the light of day again. Oh, that's right, everyone. The outspoken diva of The Real Housewives of New York is returning and I, for one, could not be any more excited. Partially because she provides endless, snarky entertainment, but mainly because all of her quips and quick-witted jabs speak to my soul. Or better yet, she speaks for my soul. It's hard to find someone so brazenly cynical and generally annoyed with the world's population as I can be at times.

Really, she speaks for all of our sometimes-reclusive souls. Some of us don't quite have the bravado to speak so candidly (fortunately, that's never been a problem for me), or we don't have the means to, or sometimes we just...can't. Because an angry mob may chase after us with pitchforks and torches and it would get all Beauty and the Beast real fast, and no, I'm not talking about that cute part where they play with each other in the snow. Anyway, back to Frankel. In preparation for her triumphant resurfacing, let's laud her for being our perfect, misanthropic inner voice for when humans sometimes perplex us.

I'll destroy my body, and it'll be delicious as I do it, thank you.
