I finally found a reality show I LOVE, and the Lifetime network cancels the damn series just after the third season got going! Kim of Queens combines some of my favorite things -- Southern speak, chic, and attitude PLUS tiaras -- into one fabulous hour of viewing that goes by way too quick. Have you seen it? If not, the show features Kim Gravel, a former Miss Georgia, who owns The Pageant Place outside Atlanta and molds young ladies into becoming pageant queens. Miss Kim is one hundred percent a HOOT! When that gal speaks her mind, Georgia-style, while batting those inch-long lashes over her ice blue eyes, she can get anyone to do anything, including getting some of the least pageant-inclined girls to not only compete but many times take home the crown. And talented? Lordy, when she sings it comes out in a quirky cocktail of soul, opera, and gospel that gives me goosebumps. No wonder she was one of the youngest Miss Georgias in pageant history!
Kim gets help at The Pageant Place from her sister Allisyn and Mama Jo. While Kim is definitely queenly, Allisyn is more of a bar-room hussy with style. I want to party with Allisyn! She cracks me up, always getting Kim into sticky situations and then claiming it's not her fault. Mama Jo is often the go-between, very sweet and proper, but she has a razor-sharp tongue that doesn't let things slide by. These three coach some beautiful and talented young ladies with big personalities -- I think I love Addison the best, she is a spitfire! -- and sometimes cray-cray mothers. I will miss them all!

In Kim of Queens there are no naked people left to survive on their own in the woods, no over-stylized pawn shop family screaming at each other nonstop, and no exotic bugs or road-kill cuisine being served up for supper. This show is just about a little Southern family business trying to make the world a little more beautiful one pageant at a time by helping the contestants find their inner beauty and letting it shine out. Oh, and throw in a bit of diva drama, some family squabbles, a few bat-crap crazy pageant mothers living vicariously through their daughters, and Kim having a conniption when one of her girls wants to clog for their talent. (Kim HATES clogging!) Tell me, how can reality TV get any better than that?!
Bring back KIM of Queens, I'm begging you! At least the Lifetime network is still showing reruns for now so they don't have Dance Moms on 24/7. I HATE THAT STUPID SHOW!
