Dragged my hot & sweaty bod to village shop this evening and lady behind said oooh you look just like that derinda from off telly ... I just smiled.. as you do .. and she said you know her off housewives I've googled and can't find!
Anyone know whether this is flattering or an insult?

From the New York one, Derinda?

babysharkah · 26/07/2019 21:12

Sorry Dorinda. Whether it's an insult depends on who you are / how old etc!

MrsGaryLightbody · 26/07/2019 21:12

No idea am guessing whoever it is goes for the sweaty Betty look Confused

If you're in you're 40s or older it was probably a compliment... under 30 and I'd be a bit miffed...

Are you blonde with a fairly large nose do you shout a lot and have a partner with no social skills?

Bortusesmoustache · 26/07/2019 21:18

I reckon... I had a great aunt Dorinda and it was pronounced Derinda. Never actually seen the show though so I might be wrong!

Dorinda Medley, New York Housewife partial to a drink or seven, very attractive, talks at 100mph, gorgeous house in the Berkshires. I’d be fairly flattered I think.

MrsGaryLightbody · 26/07/2019 21:24

@coconuttelegraph well I have short blond hair , my nose is mmm there ! I don't usually shout unless it was at Stbxh... and he's history Smile
