In case you missed it, in last week's episode lace front wigs there were attempts at baby makin' between Lisa Wu Hartwell and her NFLer husband, an emotional meltdown by Kandi Burruss, and a "Kim-tervention" -- aka a restaurant shouting match between Sheree Whitfeld, NeNe Leakes, and Kim Zoliack that will spill out into the streets with some wig pulling action in next week's episode. But since we are partial to fashion mishaps, the plot line that amused us most was when Zolciak invited her pretty awful designer friend Dean Pardue over to design her a dress and try on some of his tacky mall girl creations that Zolciak instantly falls in love with (read: super short, super low-cut, super cheap-looking)."I want to be classy and sexy, but yet leave something to the imagination," said Zolciak about what she'd like in a dress. We really doubt that last part. The resident blonde ends up choosing an asymmetrical lace creation with a slit up to there from a book of Pardue's designs ("Dean tells me I'm a full lace wigs showstopper. He thinks I'm a beautiful Barbie doll," she says), while lamenting that she needs to cut back on her ridiculous spending habits. "Being single now, I probably shouldn't spend the money I used to," says Zolciak, while stepping over boxes of Dolce & Gabbana goods she had sent from L.A., swinging around a $3,500 Nancy Gonzalez tote, and squeezing into a $3,000 belt. "If it takes three jobs, that's what I'll do. I will shovel sh*t for Dolce & Gabbana." Gotta love her recession-time savvy. The wig wars continue on Bravo, Thursdays at 10 p.m. ET. But if you can't chinese hair wait until next week, check out some saucy bonus footage from last week's commercial break where Leakes calls Zolciak a "trashbox." You know you love it.
