About Face

My mother in law Estella had been considering a facelift. She is 61 years old and looks amazing. I have always been proud that she had never done anything to her face -- very rare around here. When Alexia was a little girl, she asked my mom why so many of her friends looked like cats. We all died laughing! I knew that if Estella was going to have the facelift, there was only one doctor to go to. -- Dr. Paul Nassif. He has an incredible reputation, not only for being a gifted surgeon, but for having an incredible bedside manner. I knew Estella was in good hands. When I first saw her I was shocked, to say the least.

I felt queasy and faint. When I heard her voice I became very emotional. I felt so bad that I reacted that way in front of Paul. Estella was happy and comfortable. She just looked so scary! The reason she looked like that was because of the peel she had done to her face. That is why she had the mesh over her skin. My mother-in-law healed very fast and looks amazing. I am grateful to Paul for taking such great care of her.(Editor's note: check out Paul's thoughts on Estella's surgery.)

Let's move on to the "Awkward Dinner" Yes, it really was that awkward. Taylor and I always laugh and have fun. However Russell was always difficult to get close to. Although always kind and polite to me, it was not easy to get past the things that Taylor shared with us. I am very rarely left speechless, but I honestly didn't know what to say when he started talking about Lisa. He knows we are good friends, and I didn't want this to turn in to "one of those dinners." Pandora's engagement party! I was so excited for Pandora and Jason as well as Lisa and Ken. I can only imagine how it must feel for your child to be getting married. I have been wanting another baby myself for quite some time now but figure at this point I should just wait for Farrah to have one. I will be so excited when she gets married and has a baby. I want her to take her time and enjoy being young and free, but when she is ready I will be ecstatic!

Isn't Mohamed's house out of control? It truly is spectacular. The party was a very colorful night with camels, snakes, flopping mermaids. . .by the way, WHAT was she doing? I loved watching Camille's face. "Boy, she's really. . .flopping around, huh?" SO funny! This episode made me laugh. which was a welcome change from the last episodes. There were many interesting characters there. I could not believe how much that guy looked like Dave Navarro. I was convinced this was his side job. The lady sliding down the bannister. . .was that the mermaid again? and the lady that calls her "much, much older husband" Daddy. I thought she was part of the entertainment. I think I thought I was too!

Yes, I did the splits on a table at a party. Anyone that knows me knows I love to joke around and have fun. I admit, that was typical Kyle. Would I do that at a "typical" Beverly Hills party? NO, but this was anything BUT. Lisa and I have a similar sense of humor. Even though she was yelling "Kyle, No!" she was laughing. I loved that she said she was saving her splits for Pandora's wedding. I laughed at the end when I said "Where is my husband? I'm going to get in trouble" I am fortunate that my husband likes to see me having fun and lets me be myself. Even if that means doing the splits on a table with "Dave Navarro."

Until next week. . .
