    We Meet The Real Housewives Of New York In Real Life

    Last night there was a screening party for the premiere episode of The Real Housewives of New York City at Touch, a club in Midtown Manhattan which I'd otherwise not have visited were it not for the fact that all the housewives, their husbands, and (some of ) their kids were in attendance. The show airs on Bravo tonight, but I became obsessed with it after watching a 30-minute preview episode last week featuring Alex McCord and her metrosexual husband Simon van Kempen, the couple who live in Brooklyn and shop for clothes together. I dragged videographer Alex Goldberg with me to see if we could get one of them to talk to us about their love of fashion — and we totally did! Clip above, and more on the party after the jump.

    Real Housewives Of New York: Fabulous Homes, Fabulous Vacations, Fabulous...Husbands?

    The Real Housewives of New York, Bravo's new reality show set to premiere next week, aired today for some reason, and it looks like it might be even more addicting than The Real Housewives of Orange County. There are five women this time, four of whom live on the Upper East Side and "summer" in the Hamptons. The fifth, Alex, is from Kansas and lives an "alternative" lifestyle involving a multimillion dollar townhouse in [gasp!] Brooklyn, and chooses to spend her Augusts in St. Barths. But it's her metrosexual husband, Simon, who interests us the most. The two are BFFs, and are attached at the hip. They get pedicures together and "wouldn't dream" of going shopping for clothes without one another. We know that he's foreign and all, but you know that line about how it's so hard to find a man because they are all either gay, straight or taken? This guy is probably two of those three. But we'll leave it up to you to decide. Clip above.
