On Bravo's Real Housewives of Washington, D.C., Housewife, Catherine "Cat" Ommanney coined this phrase when addressing another Housewife, Michaele Salahi, and her husband, Tareq Salahi, during a confrontation at Housewife, Stacy Scott Turner's and her husband, Jason Turner's, home.
Stacy: "Are you still upset about what happened?"

Cat: "They're ruining other people's lives, you know. It's madness. They're 'plastic, not fantastic.'"
