We welcome back Bernie Diamond and Erin Barnes with Regevity Stem Cell Institute https://regevitystemcell.com/. We learn how these two amazing business partners met while they both were in orthopedic medicine working in operating rooms alongside surgeons. We get an extensive education on all things stem cell, plant based diet, rehab and supplements to prevent surgery and heal injuries. We discuss the epidemic of patients being prescribed way too many unnecessary medications in the USA.
They educate us on the importance and the difference of understanding the REAL STEM CELL procedures compared to many physicians that push stem cells that are not viable and not live cells. Stem Cell Therapy is a treatment that has to be performed by specialists. Regevity Stem Cell therapy truly changes lives from the inside out. It is a work of art to use your own live stem cells with stem cell therapy. That is helping your body heal in the most natural way possible.

The Too Posh girls are super excited to welcome Mr. Bernie Diamond and Mr. Erin Barnes with Regevity Stem Cell Institute. https://regevitystemcell.com/ We hear the traumatic and inspiring life story of Bernie. He tells us that he grew up sheltered and got sucked up in the Dallas Party Scene. After working at a bank he found his passion as a hair dresser and was working towards opening his own hair salon when tragedy struck. We hear all the vivid details of the fateful night when he got shot in a case of mistaken identity. With blood everywhere and his left hand dangling and only attached to tissue he ended up fighting for his life and hiding to avoid being shot more as the popping of gun shots continued around him. After spending 1 month at Parkland Hospital in Dallas, enduring dozens of surgeries to try to save his hand, they ended up amputating his left hand. At the same time both his Dad and brother got diagnosed with cancer.
He battled with depression for years trying to figure out what to do next. His dream of owning a hair salon and his whole future as he knew it were all destroyed in a single moment. The bible verse Psalm 46:10 “Be still and know that I am God” helped him get through those tough times and he was certain that God had a bigger plan for him. He got into the medical industry and is now co owner of the amazing Regevity Stem Cell Institute.

The Too Posh Girls are very excited to announce their Pop Up Shop and Boutique for Too Posh Boutique at the iconic and fully remodeled Hot Spot The Statler Hotel in Dallas, Texas.
Then we have a super fun banter and discussion about the 40 signs that he is just not that into you. Some things we talk about are:
He only talks about sex
liars
too busy
constantly criticizing you
the girls start talking about little penises about the time the bachelor from the tv show came to surprise Marcella at a dance competition
Whitley tells us about meeting Matthew McConaughey. We discuss the newest trend in high schools across America, Christian girls are saving themselves for marriage. Many of these “virgins” are having anal sex because the Bible doesn’t specifically forbid it. This practice is called God’s Loophole. If anyone wants to listen to the song called The Loophole by Garfield and Oates. We discuss the other disturbing trend in Junior High schools across America where boys stand on top of toilets in the girls bathrooms, girls giving them blow jobs and other kids hanging over the stalls and watching.

We cannot believe we have to discuss Heather Locklear again but her continuous mental breakdown and suicide attempt keeps her in the news. Howard Stern and Tommy Lee fight on Twitter because Howard Stern blames Tommy Lee and Richie Sambora for Heather Locklear’s breakdown. Gabrielle shares that it is the 12th anniversary of the death of her best friend and her devastating severe alcohol detox and her death. The whole rest of the show is about alcoholism and we take the “Am I an Alcoholic Self Test”. We get some very interesting results and discussions for every point. We get detailed about the severe signs of alcohol detox and how scary it is.

This show is super fun and you shouldn’t miss it. We learn lots and lots of things we never knew. We start the show discussing the Heather Locklear Drama and her being involuntarily held on the 5150 hold, due to mental illness because she may pose a danger to herself, others, or is gravely disabled and requires inpatient psychiatric care.
Then we talk about the crazy story of Bill and Sue Gross. A judge awarded Mrs. Gross their 20 Million Dollar Mansion in the divorce and her husband went nuts with anger and sprayed FART and PUKE spray all through the house and left dead fish in the air vents. This story results in hysterical laughter as we research these sprays. Then we share some revenge tactics that people can do to their exes if they are filled with rage after a breakup. Sugar Babies anyone???? We learn all about the Sugar Baby Convention that teaches women how to score one or several Sugar Daddies.
We find out what Salt Daddies are and the difference between a Sugar Baby and a prostitute. We are hysterically laughing about all the disturbing jobs Sugar Babies have to perform for their Sugar Daddies while they are supposed to remember their Bentley’s, Louboutin’s etc.

We talk about the crazy Father’s Day drama between Tommy Lee the Motley Crue drummer and his oldest son. Marcella asked Gabrielle to share her emotional story about her own Dad who was a severe alcoholic. Gabrielle shares how her Dad’s drinking got so bad that she and her Step Mom staged an intervention that was guided by Alcoholic Anonymous professionals when he visited her in Dallas. She talks about how great he handled the Intervention and how he promised to get sober.Little did she know that when he got on the plane to fly back to Austria would be the very last time she would ever see or speak to her Dad, even though he lived for another 20 years.
Gabrielle gets very emotional when she shares that her Dad blamed her and resented her for the rest of his live for holding that intervention. It was very difficult for her knowing that her Dad was alive, yet wanted nothing to do with her or his grandchildren. She always wished that he would have been part of their lives and rescue her when she found herself in the Mafia and how hard things were. She talks about all the efforts she tried to have a relationship with him but he was too stubborn and died without ever speaking to her again 5 years ago. Then Marcella and Whitley share some of their crazy drunk stories.

We start the show off discussing the recent suicides by hanging of Kate Spade, Anthony Bourdain, the sister of the Queen of the Netherlands. Valerie and Gabrielle discuss how their lives have been changed and traumatized by their family members who committed suicide by hanging. We encourage everyone to download the Colombia Suicide Prevention Questions and use the Severity Ratings Scale for any loved ones you are concerned about. Valerie tells us about being suicidal herself these last few weeks. We wish people would reach out more and check on people. Marcella gets very strong about people practicing more human kindness and not to be so cruel.
We are baffled by a very hurtful event that occurred once again in the dance world. A going away party was being planned by adults for one of Marcella’s best friends and our former teacher of Prestige Dance and Performing Arts Centre. Marcella, Gabrielle and several children including our little Jolee were purposefully left out and not invited, causing unnecessary heartache. Pictures plastered all over social media that caused especially the children who were left out severe pain. As a teacher that was being honored as a mentor at this said party we would have hoped that she would have reached out to the children that were left out and asked them to do something with her separately, or insisted that all were invited.
Lots of Dance parents have a history of being cruel and unkind to children so it was not a surprise when Valerie told us about how her daughter finally opening up about how she was always left out while dancing at the studio too. Valerie apologized to her and told her ” I am so sorry that these parents viewed you through me and shunned you.” ADULTS PLEASE BE KIND TO CHILDREN. We continue our talk about people being evil, unkind and cruel when we discuss the tragic drowning death of Bode Miller’s 19 month old daughter. People were attacking those poor parents with outrageous, disgusting comments.

Gabrielle starts the show and is going on a tangent about guests that come on the show and are not completely honest and holding back on their stories and that the audience can tell when that happens. The fact that the guests do not share the social media quotes and soundbites is equally confusing and disappointing to the whole Too Posh Cast. Valerie is back for a 6th time and gives us an update on her life. She has been having a rough time the last few weeks. She tells us about losing a friendship over a garage sale issue. The most devastating news that have come out from the police report that she finally got to read from her husband’s suicide. The police report states some very absurd and mean accusations against Valerie.
Whitley tells us about her new job at http://www.mexicansugarcocina.com/.We talk about our fun photo shoot for our upcoming new Jet Set Collection under the direction of https://www.jwaylon.com/ with photographers Bruce Chandler https://www.facebook.com/bruce.chandler.73, https://www.linkedin.com/in/jagilmore/ and https://www.instagram.com/jraymayphotography/ And Marcella’s photo shoot with http://gregwoodsonphotography.com/ We have a very extensive, fun discussion and very strong opinions about the New Miss America changes.
