They did show her not able to reach him during the horse show, and have appeared to make more of an emphasis on the things she does on her own this season. It was noticable before, and now seems like it was intentional.

I would have to agree here. During the horse show scene, when the count was MIA, I felt that he was probably out with his personal whorse instead of being there for his daughter.
I feel badly for kids to have the families dirty laundry aired nationally.

I'm thinking that Mr. Count should be the first to read Lu's book.

Basic etiquette dictates that you do not break up (and certainly not end a marriage!) via email....

lulu must have a twin or a little sister she doesn't know about. her name is danielle staub and she's a nj housewife. i'll go with little sister. a younger prettier version that has no problem being with her kids.

All I have to say to Luann is "Oops! "

Anybody know exactly how they got together, in the first place? Was he already with another woman?

i'd loved to see pics of this nubian beauty her left her for. perhaps some pics of him. to see if he was ever good looking if (oops, when) he was young. hey, now lulu can become the cougar she always wanted to be.

BINGO! All very awkward and forced and desperate. The stupid fixed grin and nervous glances to the lens. You've hit the nail on the head.

Let me get this out of the way first - I wouldn't wish the trauma of divorce on anyone. Especially if it's played out on national TV. And if she 'goes' then it'll be a bit more boring on the show, without our dahling love.

Now, I can't believe that she didn't see this coming. They basically seem never to converse. Every other housewife on this show who is married is shown interacting with their dhs.

Oh, and living with them, too.

I bet this is why she went beserk when Ramona pointed out that she was married to a man twice her age/a bit older/some French fossil. Or why she got so peeved when the mature man didn't show up to the horse riding thingy. In fact, I wonder if all this hasn't been hinted at by Bravo - the advice to Bethenny, Bethenny mentioning that this was the first time she saw LaContessa gently glow*, the Hope Lodge uproar, the fact that in the reunion with Rosie the fossil had no "lines" whatsoever...

Despite all I said about LaContessa, including that as Wifeypoo #5 she might have seen this coming, it isn't nice to be treated like this - dumped by e-mail for a younger model. That's rather repellent and not how a gentleman acts.

* Horses sweat, gentlemen perspire, but ladies only gently glow.

So, as it is, the shoes I do wear are something you'd find in the closet of a makeover candidate on What Not to Wear, and a I NEVER carry a purse. There must be some underlying psychological reason for this, and maybe one day I'll take the time to think it through.

For now, it is just funny to note that as I started to admire the purses in the store, I told myself something like "you don't wear purses...just like Kelly on NY Housewives show".

I will say, however, that I am much more charismatic and empathetic, and I'll bet dollar-to-dollar I'm a better mother

Meh. I'm also older, heavier, and a whole lot poorer.

should didn't have to have her children on the show at all. and if she was all that famous she should be used to having cameras following her around. absolutely no one knew who she was til this show, you know when she mentioned who she was married to. and i hear her ex is just as obnoxious, if not more, as she is. they say he's a great photographer but no one likes working with him.

Does this mean I no longer have to listen to Ms Pompous force her fake Countess title on us?
