I can't remember who wrote a post some time ago referring to Taylor as "obsessed with money", but I'm beginning to believe that more and more now.
For starters, it's pretty obvious why she married Russell ... for the money. Suddenly, she was no longer happy in her marriage despite ... the amount of money. She has had a lot of anxiety about Lisa because she has "so much more money" than she does. She breaks down and tells Lisa that she has kissed her a$$ for over a year, when my first question was, "Why? Why are you kissing her a$$? Oh, ... because she's the richest of all of them. That's why."
So, in all fairness, Taylor strikes me as one who wants to be associated with those who have MONEY, ... LOTS of money, ... so that she can continue to mention living "this fabulous life" in Beverly Hills, ... that she's NOT so happy living with her husband.
And, just as a side note, ... I was a little surprised at Adrienne's behavior. I still respect her for being woman enough to approach Lisa about why she chose to have Pandora's engagement party somewhere else, but Adrienne is usually pretty confident enough NOT to take things personally. She's always the peacemaker, but she seemed REALLY put-off with Lisa this time which I found interesting. And it didn't look like it was all just for the cameras either, ... she was really, genuinely, annoyed with Lisa this time. I still respect how she handled it, though.
