While everyone is talking about the crazy housewives, new jersey or new york...does it matter? (yes, I've indulged!) I am currently obsessed with The Fabulous Beekman Boys on planet green. It's a new docu-series which just sprouted in June. Want a little drama? Follow a former Martha Stewart V.P. & a drag queen turned ad man on their adventure from new york city slickers to organic farmers.

Josh & Brent are just like most married couples I know. Opposites. Josh seems to prefer life a little more loose & carefree (could be the drag queen in him), while Brent has a list a mile long always at the ready (martha, martha, martha). He even cleans the pigs off before a party. And, of course, they bicker. About money, chores, & their "kids", just to name the basics. Add into the mix a crazy llama, herd of goats, escaping piglets & a real life farmer and you get a very funny look at some pretty cool subjects. Sustainability, eating organic & local, raising animals humanely, connecting to the earth & your neighbors. What more could you want? "Skinny girl" margaritas? Ok, I get that. Have one while you watch.

I look forward to seeing what these boys do next...Think they will adopt me? Probably not. I"ll just have to settle on shaking their hands at Terrain on July 10th. Curious? It's a reading, book signing & conversation about their book...The Bucolic Plague: How Two Manhattanites Became Gentleman Farmers

Oh, I almost forgot, for more drama you can visit the website...

One of their friends is James Frey. Remember the author that Oprah made cry? Yup, that's the one. He writes a little bit about his dynamic duo buddies after each episode. Fact or fiction, you decide.
