October is finally upon us, which means just one thing: Halloween. Time to dress like a crazy person and not get judged for it. (Unless you’re in a contest, in which case you
will get judged for it, and possibly rewarded.)
We here at the VH1 blog know that our network has a rich cast of characters to choose from and that some of you will be getting together with your friends and dressing as the Mob Wives, the Basketball Wives, or even that old fave, Bret Michaels, as you should. (Last year, if you’ll recall, we received over 100 Bret Michaels photos, will he be as popular this year?) Send any photos of you and your friends in your best VH1 gear, don your Non-F’N Factor shirts, your bandannas, hell, BE a pop up bubble from Pop Up Video: we want to see it all. (Some other ideas: Lynn Patridge! LisaRaye in any of her all-white ensembles! Dr. Drew! Beverly Hills Fabulous star Elgin Charles! ANYONE from My Big Friggin’ Wedding! The possibilities are endless.)
Submit your photos to VH1Submit@gmail.com for a chance to appear on the blog. And for suggestions on how best to dress and act (sort of) like a mob wife, watch our favorite video from Funny Or Die above for some hilarious tips.

We’ll be looking back at the year that was 2010 on VH1 all week, and to start things off easily is a group of screen shots amassed from various recaps over the past year from shows like Basketball Wives, You’re Cut Off!, Frank the Entertainer in A Basement Affair, What Chilli Wants and more. If you pay close attention, you may see an abstract story unfolding. Or maybe not! Enjoy the images…

A reality star blaming his or her portrayal on editing is like a reality star saying, “I’m not here to make friends” (I wish I could make supercuts out of text!) — it’s part of what defines the reality-show experience. And so, it’s not a huge surprise that My Big Friggin’ Wedding‘s Sandra has taken to her blog to attempt to clear up what happened at her debacle of a joint bachelor/bachelorette party with her fiance, Joey, which we saw go down on this week’s show. She writes, “And yes, I literally beat myself up over this, which is what I predicted and told the producers when it happened. While the show portrays one thing, reality, actual life, will show you another, which is peaceful, and nothing like what have you seen.”
Among her claims: conversations were edited to look more contentious than they were, and a particularly tenacious cameraman wouldn’t stop doing his job when a fight broke out (imagine!). She also devotes several paragraphs to defending Joey against the naysayers:
“I really can’t stand the way my HUSBAND (yup SURPRISE!) has been portrayed on this show. Literally makes me sick. My love of my life, my EVERYTHING, is portrayed as an animal. Well let me tell you something, he is far from it. Joey has been my life line. That whole soul mate thing is true. Whatever it takes, he makes sure it better than 100% for me. Did you know he literally GAVE me our wedding? Yup, he worked his ASS off to make sure his girl had the wedding of her dreams.”
The whole thing is worth reading — their dynamic has yet to cease fascinating. [Episode 7- a special blog from Sandra]
