And Toya, by the way, gives Contessa the stink eye through this entire scene.

And I'm like, Contessa, you realize that Toya is not really on your side for this, right?

She's going to come.

Toya literally hates your gut still.

And so good luck with this.

Toya is only being friends with you so you can yell at Heavenly for her.

And if you're not going to do that, she's got very little patience for you.

I can tell you right now.

Also, it's funny that Contessa is showing up in her 70s garb for this, but she won't show up to 70s garb for her party, which is 70s themed.

So I don't know.

I don't know if she just got one Amazon outfit that it's like it was used up or what, but damn.

Also, I think we're all entitled to throw ourselves a really nice party, especially for like a milestone birthday.

It's just really hard to start this episode with her planning this massive party for herself on the heels of last week when she was like,

i emptied out all of our savings i cashed out all of our stock options our 401k just to get this building up it's like so i'm like what do you want me to feel for you right now what are the emotions you need me to feel because last week you wanted me to feel sympathy for you for not having any money left and then this week you want me to be like yes spend that 40 000 on your birthday party

Yeah, it's a lot of money to spend, you know, but hey, I mean, it's housewives also.

So maybe it didn't really cost that much.

And she's just saying that because I mean, Marriott.

Yeah, Marriott.

So I don't know.

So she's like, well, I want to do a purple carpet or a red carpet.
