#76: Sutton Stracke

It's almost Halloween and what scarier topic to discuss than the veritably Southern Gothic Sutton Stracke. A haunted porcelain doll in stature and spirit, we discuss the Tennessee Williamsian anti-heroine's best bits: her aggressive face-rollering, ugly leather pants, her vampiric familiar Avi, her frenemyship with Crystal, her alliance with Garcelle, her complicated dynamic with the Fox Force Five and the terrifying matriarch that is Reba.Sutton Discussion: 12:00ishInstagram.com/HousewivesArchives
