She in herself isn't famous, but I can't come up with any other detail without giving it away :(

on the hand, it way makes more sense...

]]> <![CDATA[The <em>Real Housewives</em> Bring Out The Real Mean Girls In All Of Us]]> Okay- I have one, no two comments.
First? Avery looks like her father. Ramona certainly did not get surgical work done- she is very open about it.
Second? I love the NY Housewives with a passion- they are way more entertaining than OC trash.

that is all.

Whoever wrote this is boss of my heart. Hysterical.

I know that's meaningless information to the most of you but it's priceless comedy gold to the few.

]]> <![CDATA[The <em>Real Housewives</em> Bring Out The Real Mean Girls In All Of Us]]> I accidentally watched the show over the weekend. And I have to say, I LOVE Bethenny. Like, I'd totally hang out with her. She's my reality show hero. Especially when she pointed out that the crazy-parents' house was a piece of crap (hello, your toddler speaks French but you have no floors?) AND she called them out for having the brattiest, worst-behaved hellspawn at a formal event. Ha. LOVE her.

]]> <![CDATA[The <em>Real Housewives</em> Bring Out The Real Mean Girls In All Of Us]]> I don't watch the show (I know, I know, dorm room, no tv, etc) but do tell, is the housewive snark as wittily hilarious as the jezebelles?

]]> <![CDATA[The <em>Real Housewives</em> Bring Out The Real Mean Girls In All Of Us]]> Yea!! #2 was me! I'm most proud, however, that my comment provoked the brilliant Sesame Street Count comment by Motown. Genius.

Fenchurch

]]> <![CDATA[The <em>Real Housewives</em> Bring Out The Real Mean Girls In All Of Us]]> I think that being on a show like this invites ridicule. Otherwise, why would we watch? It's different to shit talk real life people this way, and that's why we nice Jezzies don't do that.

brendastarlet

]]> <![CDATA[The <em>Real Housewives</em> Bring Out The Real Mean Girls In All Of Us]]> @brendastarlet: The smaller shows seem like more fun anyway. Don't think personal chef will be attainable. I think I'll find a rich friend and eat there, like, every day.

I can't wait for Real Housewives of NJ. I'm an expat for a reason!

]]> <![CDATA[The <em>Real Housewives</em> Bring Out The Real Mean Girls In All Of Us]]> @hamburgerhotdog: Nice. I love that most of these comments are about alex and simon von douchenozzle.

missbheave (is not convinced)

]]> <![CDATA[The <em>Real Housewives</em> Bring Out The Real Mean Girls In All Of Us]]> @gingerkhan: YES that is a brilliant idea. They should go to a smaller city and not somewhere like Atlanta--the smaller city will be guaranteed to have more junior league and church fundraiser drama!

missbheave (is not convinced)

]]> <![CDATA[The <em>Real Housewives</em> Bring Out The Real Mean Girls In All Of Us]]> @bananaballs: I'll bet you could figure out a way to make that happen. The smaller shows are easy to see; just reach out to one of the designers and tell them you're a fan and you want to come to Fashion Week someday. A chef is roughly $75,000, or essentially a kitchen.

brendastarlet

]]> <![CDATA[The <em>Real Housewives</em> Bring Out The Real Mean Girls In All Of Us]]> If Real Housewives was meangirls, Luann would be Regina george, Jill is Gretchin (sp?). I can't remember the other names.

And while I'm on the subject of fictional characters, betheny is the closest real life example of Carrie Bradshaw.

"Dahling, I just got back from Rwanda. You should see how much food and water I gave them! All the rice! I'm so jealous of those people, getting to eat all the carbs they want."

"Oh, Sandy, you're absurd, with all your humanitarian work. Oh, did I tell you? Jenny got an interview at Sidwell Friends!"

"Irene was already accepted."

"...."

"...."

"My husband can nuke Iran faster than your husband."

]]> <![CDATA[The <em>Real Housewives</em> Bring Out The Real Mean Girls In All Of Us]]> @brendastarlet: If I had the money, I doubt I'd be aching to rub shoulders with a different set of people. Although I wouldn't be turning down the offers to do things the rich seem to be invited to do. Well, maybe some things. But I've never been to Fashion Week. It could be fun to sit front (or even 2nd) row, without actually being "in" the industry. Also, I like the idea of a personal chef. Can Bethenny come cook for me?

bananaballs

]]> <![CDATA[The <em>Real Housewives</em> Bring Out The Real Mean Girls In All Of Us]]> @hamburgerhotdog: which one? they were all great. Why else does this show exist but to give us something to hate on?

Well, I wonder where Marge could be? She's missing her own initiation.

I hope she didn't take my attempt to destroy her too seriously.

KimberleeJ

]]> <![CDATA[The <em>Real Housewives</em> Bring Out The Real Mean Girls In All Of Us]]> @pantycrickets: I actually hope they do branch out. Some southern cities would be great. The Real Housewvies of Savannah, or The Real Housewives of Houston. Big hair, big money, big accents, big ratings.

brendastarlet

]]> <![CDATA[The <em>Real Housewives</em> Bring Out The Real Mean Girls In All Of Us]]> @bananaballs: no, you don't want to. Because what they don't realize is that all they've done is muscled/bought their way in, and in doing so, they've squeezed out the people that they want to rub shoulders with.

brendastarlet

]]> <![CDATA[The <em>Real Housewives</em> Bring Out The Real Mean Girls In All Of Us]]> by saying this I might as well point out my crows feet and grey hairs, but...I just can NOT understand the desire people have to be on these reality types of shows. Don't get me wrong, I watch with rapt attention, but who in their right mind feels the need to live on camera so as to validate their idea of themself? no thanks. didn't real society upper crust value privacy, as in appear in the news papers only 3 times in your life...birth, marriage, and death announcements. Rule to live by, I say.

brendastarlet

]]> <![CDATA[The <em>Real Housewives</em> Bring Out The Real Mean Girls In All Of Us]]> Whatever. These women have (or purport to have) MONEY. All us plebians would love to have 1/10th of their resources and swear up and down that if we did, we would never be that tacky. Or rude. Or status-obsessed. Or whatever. So what? It's human nature, and I'll be the first to admit that I would love to be able to go to the Met, get front row seats at fashion shows, send my (non-existent) children to fat camp, etc., simply by virtue of tax bracket.

The irony of it is, shows like this are the great equalizer. They remind us that the seemingly "fabulous" are not always so.

I *almost* got up from our table to run around the corner and check them out for myself, but I decided restraint was best.

TheGintheCity

]]> <![CDATA[The <em>Real Housewives</em> Bring Out The Real Mean Girls In All Of Us]]> @Miss Smith Drank Your Vodka: For real! I saw them on Valentine's Day when I was eight, and had all the accessories...sleeping bag, hair scrunchies, earrings, socks, t-shirts, books, Jordan doll. I even had a theme birthday party...we played pin the nose on the New Kid. When I saw that they were reunited and touring, I sent a text to my boyfriend saying that I was totally going to see them. His response? We're through. Ouch.

R-Star

]]> <![CDATA[The <em>Real Housewives</em> Bring Out The Real Mean Girls In All Of Us]]> @TheGintheCity: The last time I went there they were playing very loud Eurotrash-y techno, which seems so apropos for our "we go to St Barth because we are so Euro!" friends.

]]> <![CDATA[The <em>Real Housewives</em> Bring Out The Real Mean Girls In All Of Us]]> Haven't read all comments yet, but just have to note that my friend saw Alex, Simon, and their brood eating outside at Bar Tabac in Cobble Hill this weekend as she was coming to meet me for brunch. Apparently Alex is prettier in person...

PickleTitsTurner

]]> <![CDATA[The <em>Real Housewives</em> Bring Out The Real Mean Girls In All Of Us]]> When I worked at an unnamed museum, we had a donor who insisted on being called "Mrs. I.M. Hereditary Bigshot III" even though she was wife #2 and he was currently on wife #4. I think she actually fought for the right to keep the title in the divorce.

So some of these don't surprise me at all.

Miss Smith Drank Your Vodka

]]> <![CDATA[The <em>Real Housewives</em> Bring Out The Real Mean Girls In All Of Us]]> I was at a kiddie party this weekend kept overhearing conversations like "oh, and when Ramona left the party! Could you believe..." Even the dads were in on it.

]]> <![CDATA[The <em>Real Housewives</em> Bring Out The Real Mean Girls In All Of Us]]> I am scarred for life:

I found out this past weekend that the Hampton homes all these wives frequent?

Totes not theirs. Production rents them out to "enhance the storyline."

Miss Smith Drank Your Vodka

]]> <![CDATA[The <em>Real Housewives</em> Bring Out The Real Mean Girls In All Of Us]]> Yeah, omg that count joke was HILARIOUS!

And I cannot wait until the reunion when Jill calls out Ramona!!

]]> <![CDATA[The <em>Real Housewives</em> Bring Out The Real Mean Girls In All Of Us]]> These women are downright friggin scare me. After one of their bloodbath "parties" I would run so far away from any other contact, Bolivia would start to sound good. Frenemies is this weird modern concept I just can't get my mind around. What's the point??

brassinpocket

]]> <![CDATA[The <em>Real Housewives</em> Bring Out The Real Mean Girls In All Of Us]]> Eh, The Real Housewives is shot, edited, and marketed to invite criticism and snark. It's campy to the point of farcical, and I imagine that most of the women who participate are in on the joke. I hope so, anyway.

BeckyIva

]]> <![CDATA[The <em>Real Housewives</em> Bring Out The Real Mean Girls In All Of Us]]> Count joke! How did I miss that? Brilliant.

there's making fun of people because they're silly, then there's making fun of people because you hate who they are. i'm good with silly. the count joke is silly.

Underneath it all, we're all still locked in the 15 year old mindset, I fear.

BadenBaden

]]> <![CDATA[The <em>Real Housewives</em> Bring Out The Real Mean Girls In All Of Us]]> The Count/Sesame Street reference was sheer genius. Oh god, I hope I'm not coming down with that disease that only let's me speak in Bravo reality series titles. Then again, that's all I talk about anyway.
