The Real Housewives of Vancouver Are Blogging
After each episode one of the real housewives will be blogging on Dose.ca. Following the very recent third episode Jody talks about why she would rather use natural remedies instead of plastic surgery. It seems that she's the only one on the show that's taken a stand against plastic surgery. The other girls are lining up to get their wrinkles filled via botox. Maybe Jody should figure out how to get her lip zipped naturally. It's not enough we have to hear her brash and brutal insulting opinions on the show but now we have to read her opinion on a blog! She also talks about what she really thinks of Christina and how her lifestyle is so different from the other housewives.
"I love who I am. Plastic surgery is a personal preference. I think that your body is a gift. You're the one person you're going to know the best and I don't want to alter anything. I'm not perfect by any means. My lips are who I am and I don't want to alter that.
"Christina's lifestyle makes her look older than she really is. She really is 30. She's very busy. She thinks that sex is fast food. She's got the golden arches above her bed! She's serving men!
"Ronnie was sensitive in this episode about her drinking. That's because she's just come out of rehab. I feel as though Mary should have been a better friend to her. She wasn't being that supportive because she just kept giving her more booze. It's a volatile friendship. It's one that I don't under-stand. Some people do have those types of friendships - I can't judge it. I don't have friends like that. I do have some friends that think I have issues with chocolate and I appreciate it when they'll tell me, "Don't eat that chocolate - it's not a good idea." Friends do have to babysit each other at times.
"My life is a really busy, active life. I'm an incredible mom. I cook dinner, we travel a ton and belong to all sorts of private clubs. My kids go to private schools. We just have a very different lifestyle than that of Mary, Reiko and Christina. Those are all lifestyles that I can't even relate to - but I can't judge it, right?
"When I'm not mucking around as a mother and wife, I'm full time in my shops. I put in probably a 15-hour day of working. I get up and I have to drive one of my daughters to private school across town and that takes me an hour each way - but it's an education choice. My eldest daughter Mia and I are very very close. She has a big personality like me and we both over-talk each other, which gets us very frustrated. It's a normal tumultuous mother/daughter relationship.
"Regarding Christina saying things against Mia, I really don't know where that came from. Nobody else's children were discussed on the show and I don't know why Mia was targeted by Christina. I don't like it when other people judge my children.
"I would never socialize with people like this outside of the show. I just wouldn't. I'm not being cruel - I'm really busy and by the time my day at work ends, I want to spend the rest of my time with my family or my very few good friends."
"This is great exposure for my charity, Larry Lunch Bucket. We feed the homeless, mentally ill and impoverished in Downtown Eastside's Oppenheimer Park. It really stretches your soul. We're waiting for the government to give us our PAC number so we can start taking donations."

"Every Queen needs an empire and I built mine from scratch" Jody is a very successful clothing store owner and a self-made business woman. She is a tough, no nonsense mother with a big personality and is brutally honest with whoever she meets. I find her to be one of the more annoying women of the bunch. She is constantly dressing over the top with gaudy jewelry and loud clothes and if the spotlight isn't on her then it's time for her to leave the room. Immediately on the first episode she causes waves in an all girls vacation to Whistler. She bullies Mary and throws insults at her left and right and ruffled a lot of feathers in the short time they were there. She feels she's telling it like it is but I think there's a way to get your point across without hurting peoples feelings. Although I find her personality to be too over the top I will give her lots of credit for what she's done with her career. Jody was a single mother struggling to make ends meet and started her own catering company with only $800 to her name. She started off baking muffins and bake them she did. She made muffins morning, noon, and night and went from making $300 per day to making $50,000 per day. That is inspiration in what is a tough economy. She feels anyone can make something of themselves if they put in the time, effort, heart and soul and I believe she's right.
