Oh my god this first episode of #RHOSLC is hilarious. I haven’t cried laughing in so long. So many one liners already. Can’t wait for the rest of this season. ❄️

A Latina woman in a blue button down shirt is serving wine. She has red lipstick on. She is behind a bar with a wall of various bottles behind her. Her hair is pulled back in a low bun. She has a blue striped apron tied around her waist that’s barely visible at bottom of photo. Text at center of photo reads *slams laptop shut til Monday* and at bottom right The Civil Union Podcast. All overlayed text is in white.

Turtle Bay entrance. On the right is a big Christmas wreath on the wall decorated with poinsettias and gold ornaments. In the background behind a large wooden border is a big Christmas tree lit up with white lights A sunny day on a beach. The water is turquoise. Palm trees line the right and in the background is Turtle Bay Resort A view from inside a hotel room. Looking out over an open balcony. Darker inside leads to a bright sunny day outside. Palm trees. Beach. And hills span into the distance. A sunny day on a beach. Beach grass fills the bottom left and waves fill the rest of the frame

A black and white photo of the skyline of St. Louis slightly out of focus. The gateway arch is on the right side of the photo. City skyline is mid photo. On the bottom left there’s a rear view mirror in focus and the photographer is seen taking the photo in the reflection.
