The Real Housewives of New York City

Another thing that jumped out at me while watching the reunion show was the comment that Bethenny made re: Jill and Ramona running in the same social circles (which Bethenny said is one reason why they bicker; they apparently have a high school rivalry thing going on). I understand that Ramona is a savvy businesswoman and apparently runs a successful enterprise--and that's one of the few things I find admirable about her--but I just cannot imagine that she's the type of person that others would seek out to be present at their events. She acts nutty, behaves in an unprofessional manner in public, and comes across as really, really boorish in her dealings with others. Not to mention, she doesn't exactly do justice to the designers whose clothing she wears! I can definitely see why Jill is popular and well-liked, but can't say the same for Ramona.

I can't imagine how Ramona got into any social circle, let alone Jill's.

I can tell you that she'd go over like a lead balloon in MY social circle, the ladies I 'hang' with at the local playground would NEVER put up with the likes of her!

Social standing???

Excuse me while I wet myself laughing at the CONTRADICTION.

Don't forget to check your perimeters, first!

Bingo! How elegant of them to sleep on 5000000 count sheets from the backs of starving people. THESE are the dangerous people. I've been around accounting and finance my whole life (thanks, Dad...and also for the bombs and perfect martinis) and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see what these leeches are doing. Simon of Legree? LOL, LOL. I'd rather meet up with him than these annoying, posing theives.

The countess is a chain smoking loser from the bowels of CT that happened to model and meet a rich guy with a bought title (talk about an egomaniac with an inferiority complex!!!). Please. Dissect frogs. Yuck.

She picked up a FEW social graces, but I've seen kids in the alley with more class than that hag of wind. Ramona never claimed to have class. I hear they're like BFF now anyway.

So Ramona has the uppers, Alex has the downers, Beth has her booze...I'm betting the Mr. Countless has her cadre of men...SHE said it not me: She would rather hang out with men than women. ALWAYS sends up a red flag of insecurity. They can dress it up anyway they want. It's that they can't cut it with other women.

Hee hee, read some blogs and they're more brutal on Mr. Countless than we are. I would hate to have to be her in NY right now. LOLOLOLOL!

Thank you! It did! Pointed out what a theif he is. Made me do some further digging. Wow. It's a virtual spreadsheet. More to come.

You mean that's what happens to you - those shrieking heights are where you have to go to distract yourself from the withered husks of your dreams falling gracefully around you the exact way a polyester faux leopard print gown doesn't?

I think I'll pray for no dreams or ambition in that case. Alex and Slimon give naked ambition a reason to dress in shame.

No, and she could have shaken his hand.

I think what I mean is that she wants to treat the driver as a professional, not as a fake friend.

New Mommy, I owe you one. I'm kind of slow on the uptake and didn't immediately get that you were handing us tidbits on a silver platter and informing us that you had been ordered not to post. D'uh! You wanted us to take over and do the digging as so many did on the rhooc boards!

You gave us too many hints and clues and going back to read all of your old posts, I feel so silly! I knew you'd been trying to get my attention for quite some time, as I found it all too apparent when you were copying my postings from TWOP and putting them here. Okay, so I followed your bait. Imitation IS the sincerest form of flattery, afterall. Everything is crystal clear now.

Don't worry, I picked up on all the past bait and since I have some time on my hands, I won't let you down! Thanks for being such a great board friend!
xoxoxoxoxoxo!
