Lisa Vanderpump on the Cover of Tails Magazine!

| Mar 30, 2016

You can learn a lot about Lisa Vanderpump just from listening to her tagline in the opening sequence of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills: “I am passionate about dogs, just not crazy about bitches,” she says, looking effortlessly glamorous in her floor-length pink gown.

Watch even one episode of RHOBH or her other addictively entertaining Bravo reality show Vanderpump Rules and you’ll see that it’s true. Lisa doesn’t take sass from anyone— she doesn’t need to. She’s way too busy with philanthropy and running her restaurant empire (26 and counting) to deal with nonsense or attitude.

They were very strict when it came to manners, upbringing and politeness, but they were passionate about equality. I learned the importance of compassion early on. My social activism is driven by that compassion: When I see people struggling, when I see people who are misunderstood, I want to do something.

Forget what you think you know about social activism
It doesn’t have to mean attending protests or traveling to impoverished areas to build houses. Sometimes I go visit with children suffering from alopecia. My dog, Giggy, also suffers from this disease. So I’ll bring him with me and say to the children, “This is one of the most famous dogs in the world, and he’s got alopecia. He’s been on Dancing with the Stars. Do you think he’s cuter with fur or without fur?” And all of them say, “Oh no, we love him the way he is.” And I’ll say, “Well, that’s the way your mommy loves you, and that’s how the world sees you.” That may not be your typical idea of what “counts” as social activism, but it’s making a difference to those children.
