Haha-I watched a couple of episodes of this. Get this-after hearing Kelly name dropping and bragging about how important she is, I actually googled her because I had never heard of her. oy.
Danmag-She was dropped as a model? What kind of model? foot?
Toxic waste, mom ... or different body parts from Jimmy Hoffa.
LOL again Somms!
Jane, she was just a regular catalog clothing model.
Can not WAIT for those NJ housewives - will they be North Jersey or South Jersey? Big difference between those two...
I still don't know how someone who isn't married is considered a HouseWIFE.
Dan, the housewives are two sisters and their sister in law and two others and they're from NORTH Jersey.

Isn't the definition of a HOUSEWIFE....
a) you are married
b) you don't work.
Oh, those housewives are going to be AWESOME!!
I can just see it all now...lots of manicures with big French tips.
Yep Stockardfan , I always assumed a housewife didn't work and was married. But I have noticed on gameshows and such they will very often introduce female contestants as 'accountant and homemaker' and I also thought a homemaker didn't work outside the home! I don't know but the term housewife is one I would not want to embrace even if I was married.
LOL! Well I just call myself a stay-at-home mom.
Oh, I cannot wait to see where their shore houses are!!
Thanks for finding this somms!
"Okay- so the OC women hold oranges in their hands in their group photo, the NYC women hold apples, and the Atlanta ones hold peaches. What will the NJ women hold in their hands?"
I would say guns, cans of hairspray or dice.
I'd say their husband's balls.
Has anyone noticed in some of Kelly's one on ones in the show that her skin looks red like she has just come from a fresh dermabrasion session? She is so sun damaged.

Yes...for a model, her skin is terrible...almost ruddy! So is Ramona's.

Thanks Doodle - but they do that in Illinois also!
Ruddy is the perfect description of her skin, doodle.

love it!
but bethenny and kelly, ugh no dice - bethenny is so much more classy than kelly - even the countess hinted at that when she and kelly were in the limo.
who calls childhood arthritis "cute"? and then schedules a meeting, shows up late, and acts like a jr. high girl instead of civilized lady.
although, one good thing on kelly's side is her taste in men - that french model she was with in the bar after her tantrum with bethenny was to die for...yum.
and does mario swing his racket both ways? i used to think simon was the double-dipper but now i am convinced he is just european, not gay, but mario - woof! dilf!
jill is still my favorite even if her entry way is a crowded mess of flea-market crapola.

Mario finally busted out big time in this episode. I had been giving him the benefit of the doubt up until now, and assuming Avery's sanity came from his side of the genetic pool. But now I'm convinced she's just the Marilyn of that family.
Woah to the NJ Housewives. What's next, Real Housewives of Staten Island?
Dina and Caroline's brother is Jacqueline's husband Chris.
Dina and Caroline's brother? I thought they were sisters in law..
My friend Rita could be on the Staten Island one.
My daughter said the NJ housewives should hold garden hoses in their hands because it's the garden state and they're probably ho's.
Thanks clever name! I still want to see a Miami housewives. I'd love to see the Latina tempers just flaring!
