    My favorite episode was where she prepared a "picnic" and says to keep it simple and sweet while she set up a Persian rug outside and had a chandelier hanging from a tree.

    I love how she says to keep in simple while standing in front of that MONSTROSITY of a table setting!!!! How in any way is that "keeping it simple"???

    I love how she reminds the audience to "keep it simple" while standing in front of a table with a freakin golden chair wrapped in vine, fringe and flowers on top of it.

  • @ambivalenteddd

    I'm assuming that she used a chair as a CENTERPIECE so when she gets shitfaced, she can entertain her dinner guests by doing a dance routine on the table top.

    If you can afford a "tablescape" involving an antique chair, gold rimmed plates, custom stationary, etc. and you sucked at cooking why would you not just hire a caterer? I can't imagine the kind of event where a table setting like that would be paired with what looks like jello vanilla pudding with hershey's syrup and pasta with frozen asparagus.

    You know, I was taught that if you're going to have a table scape or any kind of decoration on your table, it shouldn't be so tall that your guests can't see over it without having to crane their necks (ten inches to a foot is more than enough). A chair is definitely too tall for that. I hope she doesn't expect people to eat with that thing threatening to fall over them.
