I don't remember seeing a post about this ~ Lynn N Chicago, a prolific writer about the RH, died recently. I remember reading her blog when she uncovered stupid things jillzarin said and did; the blog was good, much read among RH fans, and I always wondered how she got so much inside info. I'll miss her!

But I don’t want to go among mad people," Alice remarked.

Within the context of Aviva's spinning class, Alex said that even though the charity event was important for Aviva, in all likelihood it was not something the producers wanted to force all 6 cast members into, since they'd just shot the party the night before--a few members of the cast would be sufficient for the charity event. Alex said that if Aviva wanted more of the ladies to be there, she should call them and say if they come and shoot with her in her spinning class, she'd show up to shoot for something the other members wanted. The way it sounded to me was that this practice is just how it's done on "reality" television. I do not think she's BSing, I just don't think Bravo wants us to know that and maybe limit this to JillZarinofZarinFabrics. Alex video commentaries (not recaps) are on rumorfix every Tuesday after the show airs and Alex is far more likable on those than she was on RHONY.
I got the impression the women negotiate with one another over who comes to what events, not over screen time. Alex was saying (I thought) that if you wanted someone to come to your event, you sometimes had to go to one of their events, even if you didn't particularly want to.
I think the point of Aviva expecting every single one of the women to attend her charity event was way OTT. People have lives and can't always do everything they want to do.
I liked how Ramona handled it (which is remarkable in itself!) by apologizing and donating a check to Aviva...I can understand how Sonja wouldn't have been able to donate...I don't think their much $$ in her back account.
Very sorry to hear about lynn N chicago's death...way too young.
And how silly what Bravo is doing about Aviva's dire dread of flying in a small plane to the island...if it's true as Alex says that there's a ferry as an alternate way.
That's Bravo's manipulation at it's best!
Thank you Prism for telling us. Over the years I have popped in here sometimes more times than others. So I do not know her specificly. But what a beautiful face she has. She looks like a beautiful soul. RIP Lynn
The last word isn't really important in situations when nobody is listening.
I very much believe in rescuing animals, not buying them.

Lynn died on her 49th birthday, which just makes it doubly sad for her family, I think. She leaves a son, but I don't know if he is young or in his teens.
