When it comes to Alex, South of Florida references most likely refer to a certain part of her anatomy.......:lau gh

From the NY Post tidbit referred to a page ago:

She also is feuding with "that other one" [former model Alex McCord], whose husband Simon semi-snottily remarked how very obviously Long Islandish or Brooklynish or not classyish certain of these sweet ladies are.

"I do not speak to those two. First of all, he drinks too much. And is very insulting. And they are not invited to my July Fourth party in the Hamptons, which is very big and which is my fifth annual and which everybody wants to come to. She and I will keep doing the show, of course, but I will have nothing to do with her otherwise."

WeezerTheGeezer and rebotco - Thank you for the update! I find Jill to be more genuine than the rest, and I get the feeling that A&S would only use their newfound 'connections' as stepping stones in their quest to improve their station in life. Even if their station is in South Florida with a bad haircut. I think that hurricaines in that area involve PMS.

Acting lessons, like that will make them any better to watch. How about fashion, makeup and hair consultants? Oh and personality consultants, my gosh acting lessons won't help with any those things.

As long as they're at it they'd better take some parenting classes too. Lots and lots of parenting class.

These women look nothing like the pictures in Harper's gallery

And I loved loved loved this from Harpers; takes an expert to fish out the truth "....LuAnn de Lesseps has a title that “appears to have no genuine origin,” according to aristocracy expert Guy Stair Sainty via e-mail from London. It may be traced to “those who made fortunes under Napoléon and the Restoration” who decided to go ahead and “ennoble themselves. ... Hence, many of the Lesseps call themselves count without any right at all."

I just read the Harper's Bazaar article. Why does Bethanney have an assistant? That's laughable. Maybe she pays her in brownies.

[luvsginger]

I actually think Bethanney is more successful than we give her credit for. She mentioned on the show once that she is paid thousands of dollars to cook for one evening. She dresses well, has a nice apt (for NY) and travels in the "best" circles. Remember how she had Tommy Hilfelger's sister over? I couldn't stand her at first but now I think she is funny!
