Me! Me! My cats are Ike and Kyle.

I’m officially all in on RHNY. Best RH iteration ever. Thanks Previously TV friends for the recommendation! IMO - these self-admittedly drunken, 50-something year old, wealthy floozies are hysterical. I just started Season 8 (I’ve been moving quick - Mr. DC is fatigued watching it), so still have catching up to do and can’t post on recent episodes yet. Can’t wait to see Ramona and Sonja stuffing lobsters into their purse. On topic - I find it hard to believe Lee Radziwill had a $50M estate. I was under the impression that Jackie Kennedy gave her quite a bit of money to support her lifestyle over the years (guilt after “stealing” Aristotle Onassis from her?). My knowledge purely comes from my love of Truman Capote though. I didn’t even know she remarried. So far I’ve enjoyed Carole. Definitely wasn’t what I expected. Especially, unlike Luann, she’s never once referred to herself as a Princess. One - it’s a bullshit courtesy title, and two they’re both naturally born Americans and still live in the United States.

SeatGate - Mr. DC and I would have flipped a coin for it and congratulated the lucky one. Though pissed off we weren’t the winner the entire plane ride. I’m also curious how much the Tom’s are actually currently involved with the day to day running of TomTom. Schwartz seems to have a very short attention span and Sandoval doesn’t seem suited to the mundane tasks of actually running a restaurant/bar.

ETA. Hi Druzy! I think it’s the first time I’ve seen you on this board. I just started myself a couple of months ago. TM mostly got too disturbing for me, except of course for the hilarity that is Farrah.

Wow PK. Congratulations. Your (then dumped) puppy managed to get out of her kennel. My puppies I tried to use a kennel for (never real successful with it - they ended up being better loose) at least waited until I left to escape.

I hate to quote myself - but too funny. I just got a request from the National Pyr Rescue to do a home check. First time I was ever asked.

I agree with this wholeheartedly. Unfortunately I believe what you’re saying is true about “no kill” shelters being able to drop off animals at “kill” shelters. My mother was big into feral cat colonies and rescue. Started from people in our very nice suburban neighborhood in LI leaving their housecats behind when they moved. She probably TNR’d hundred or so cats and adopted out about the same number of kittens. She got into it a little with the very reputable North Shore Animal League about the “no kill” label. Full disclosure though - my mother is a little crazy and has been known to make stuff up out of thin air to fit her narrative (though generally applies to her political opinion and what she thinks me and my sister should be doing). Apparently though VPD has adopted out over 850 dogs and LLAJ was the first one they had to go pick up from a shelter. I’m pretty sure this is not a business venture for LVP/Ken, and they’ve spent quite a bit of money (for us) starting and maintaining the Foundation. I applaud her for doing it. I’m guessing getting a LVP dog is kinda like getting a Beth Stern cat. I wanted Buddy, the no-eyed kitten from years ago (like everybody else - see if you can find a video). 850 dogs is a lot in that time period. You go girls! Haven’t watched in awhile - but check out Beth Stern’s kittens if you’re ever feeling down. She’s basically hand-raising them in their (I’m assuming very, very large for) Manhattan apartment. Much harder to do with puppies. I’m a bitch - so assuming they were probably incapable of house-training LLAJ too.

This pretty much sums it up for me. https://www.google.com/amp/s/ew.com/recap/the-real-housewives-of-beverly-hills-season-9-episode-6/amp/ I also get it now that I’m watching RHNY based on posters suggestions. On Season 5 now (lots of time on my hands). Finally know what Scary Island is! Sonja’s BK, Luann’s “open marriage”, etc. are openly discussed (unlike Teresa Giudice’s “don’t talk about my legal issues”). These bitches outside very public woes (numerous) are never mentioned. Except of course when Ken and Lisa were being sued by shady dog rescue lady. LVP had no real issue with it being it was in the tabloids. Imagine if anybody brought up Mauricio’s, PK’s or Tom’s multi-million dollar lawsuits (that seem pretty credible). Heads would roll!

The “ladies” act like we don’t know they’re producers following them around stirring up drama (mostly over petty slights) in the background. That’s their job. I’d like to take a moment to thank all the reality TV producers for providing me so much entertainment over the years. I’m OG Handbasket to Hell (TWoP - mine is decorated with obscene amount of fresh flowers.) I mostly watch these shows to see people make fools of themselves on national TV (looking at you Rinna).

Nope. It’s still The Willard. It’s now under the Intercontinental flag. Was one of the oldest buildings in DC. Don’t think any of original structure still remains, but think some from the early 1900’s still does. They renovated and expanded it tons several times since (including adding an office building). I’m an unfortunate DC commercial RE professional and laymen architecture geek. Highly suggest taking the downtown Art Deco building walking tour and Frank Lloyd Wright (Oak Park) in Chicago to anybody who goes there Mr. DC is kinda obsessed with the current college admissions scandal BTW. It’s been supplanted by the Odell Beckham trade. He’s ride or die Cleveland - which has been hard to do for a serious sports fan like him. He’s loyal AF. Like most Clevelander’s. I’ve been infected after all these years (Browns are my loveable losers). I now just want to kick Steeler ass (apologies to board Pittsburgh fans - but you’ve won enough). Mr. DC is equally obsessed with the Raven’s (who “stole” his Super Bowl team). Yay! Probably off-topic and uninteresting to most - but no Puppygate!

When I saw Sophia was going to GW, I assumed they’d be staying at the Willard and they’d be filmed eating at the Occidental Grill (way past it’s prime). Too funny (to me) I was right. I assume Old Ebbit Grill (overrated) wouldn’t allow filming. Also too funny were those Chanel suspenders Dorit was wearing (honorable mention to Erika for those decals she has on the ceiling of her “chapel”). Maybe they’ll show up in the asset seizure when the Bellagio (and others) goes after PK for his ridiculous gambling debt. Otherwise - boring. No wonder I stopped watching this show for years. In more exciting news now on Season 1, Episode 4 of RHNY.

That was quick. Two words. “presidency candidate”. I’d bet anybody here $1000 that she has no clue who Kamala Harris is, much less read the book. Easy money. Friendly advice to Kamala’s staffers - as a concerned Capitol Hill (mostly apolitical) neighbor. Run away far and quick. I still need to read her “review” of Didion. Apparently it’s pretty classic given it’s somewhat comprehensibility. If she’s going to try and pull this off, the same ghostwriter has to edit her Twitter. This could be good times for us though. Maybe I should send an e-mail to Penthouse telling them how much I love her reviews, since I’m doubting another “album” is coming out. But then I’d likely get porn spam.

I can’t even. I’ll need bourbon and legally procured DC weed to get into this one. Thanks y’all for holding down the fort! See you soon!

Too funny. Keep trying to talk in circles your way out of it Kyle. IMO - she too probably waited this long to post a blog to see which way the wind was blowing. Not in her favor. Bitch please - you bought a $10K Rolex when your husband is now likely making millions a year. It’s not that exciting. My favorite is the part about the “dog activists” who apparently were going to show up to Dorit’s house with torches and pitchforks cause they got the “story wrong”. Unfortunately for her I think we got the story about right. Have any Molotov cocktail throwing “activists” staged a protest yet at her house? Asking for a friend... I am impressed though, that I think these ladies actually write their own blogs based on how poorly written they seem to me. Not that I’m Hemingway. I have a personal (probably wrong) hatred of commas believing they’re overused too often. I’ve never really read any of them before. Except Teresa Guidice’s years ago, who obviously had a ghost writer given her intellect and very limited grasp of the English language.

I really need to watch RHNY apparently. I think it’s on Hulu from Season 1. I at least need to figure out what the frequently mentioned Scary Island is. In the same vein - I again encourage everybody to watch Love After Lockup.

And then I’d send my Swan after her. They’re not very nice - so it’s probably pretty easy if you happen to have one or two lying around. I’m from Long Island, geese will work too. Totally no political opinion - just a joke, but these “ladies” acting like LVP is Karl Rove (for years now) is beyond ridiculous. LVP made me do it is getting old. She’s the Queen and obviously better at it then them. I don’t see that changing anytime soon.

Thanks! The moat is the big issue. Unfortunately not possible for me. I live in a rowhouse on Capitol Hill. Go for it if you can! I’ve been trying to figure out the pygmy goat thing for years. I’ve tried to no avail, my suburban friends to get one saying it’ll mow the grass.

Ha- very funny. I’m pretty sure though that Lisa’s smart enough not to give an agressive puppy to somebody like Dorit. My husband has a small dogwalking/pet sitting business. Feral cat rescue was my thing (handed down from my Mother). Don’t ask - Mr. DC pretends the six juvenile ferals in the guest room for four months didn’t happen. TNR wasn’t an option for most unfortunately given my neighborhood is fairly new and a non-stop construction zone - I found a feral cat sanctuary a few hours from my house for a hefty donation. I still have two of the kittens I also got. 21 in all. Since I started working from home I’m in charge of daycare and boarders (I’m actually better with animals than he is). I have two besides my own dog here now (Moose the puggle is in my lap). I used to visit occasionally a very shy, very young mini-Dachshund puppy. Terrified of everything, took awhile to warm her up each time. They have no young children. I also question the decision to give a young puppy to a family with young children, much less Dorit and PK. Who probably only wanted one to keep up with the Jones’s re the others in the cast who all have adorable pets. I always wanted a pygmy goat. But now I really want a Swan to bite people in the ass.

I’m with you - it wasn’t very well written (which makes me think she actually wrote it herself). The last line was perfect.

Wow. LVP is pissed. She’s sniping from the front now. Good for her. Though it’s probably not a coincidence that she took this long to post a blog as to see which way the wind was blowing. It seems to be in her favor. IMO - the other HW’s (except Denise and Camille) still look like assholes. Especially you Rinna.

I’m not convinced Lucy aka LLAJ (who gave her that ridiculous name - it’s more like the name you’d give a thoroughbred racehorse cause all the good ones have already been taken) “bit” anybody. Apparently she was a fairly young puppy - I’m guessing she was teething at most. Get the puppy a Nylabone or one of those you put in the freezer (freezer ones worked better for mine). I’m guilty of letting my dogs I got when they were young puppies, sometimes teeth on me (sharp puppy teeth do hurt). But none of them ever actually bit or hurt anybody (and my dogs are/were much bigger than LLAJ). They’re puppies - generally they love everybody and anything. Even the three(?) yr-old family member who probably wanted to love her a little too hard at times. It’s called supervision. If LLAJ actually “bit” PK on the nose - I’d like to nominate her for a Bronze Star.

I think I’m pretty much done with Doggy-Gate. I said my piece previously in the comments awhile ago. IMO - Dorit’s still a ridiculous person BTW. But - given I have nothing bettter with my time to do, I listened to the Sessa(?) interview. He answered my question that out of the 850 dogs VP Dogs apparently adopted out - it was the first they got a call from a shelter to come get the dog.

That was really funny. I’ve been mostly bed-bound from bad knee injury, so watching old seasons of this BS I quit watching years ago. Never watched RHNY - is it worth watching from the beginning? Friends, fellow posters please chime in. I always like to recommend 90-Day Fiance and Love After Lockup (possibly greatest reality show ever) myself.

Good luck collecting that!

My two rescues from the local shelter (definitely a “kill” shelter) were both fixed before I took them home (about four months old). The two I got from different rescue organizations were not (both also about four months). I had to sign an agreement I’d get them spayed/neutered and had to send them the certificate it was done (they followed up). My agreement also stated and verbally confirmed I had to return the dog to them if I was unable to keep. I’ve never ever or will give up a pet so that’s not an issue. Dorit should have returned the dog to LVP Dogs period or at least firmly explained to new home it had to go back to LVP Dogs. LVP Dogs should have followed up the dog was in an appropriate home - but no clue how long before the second home dumped the dog at the shelter. I have no doubt it was a “kill” shelter. It’s pretty hard to get a dog accepted into a rescue society. We have a ton of excellent rescues in DC. Almost none have actual shelters but a large contingent of volunteers and foster homes. Most come from high-kill shelters in the South (Mr. DC calls it the doggy Underground Railroad). You just can’t drop a dog off to them saying “I don’t want this dog anymore”. Lucy is young, small and cute though so she probably had a pretty good chance of getting adopted. Also - no clue the big deal over this. Dorit did it - she’s on a reality TV show - not sure why this of all things is a “private” matter. As far as I’m concerned LVP was in her rights to shout it from the rooftops. Should have been a learning experience for everybody and the viewers on what not to do. IMO - the other “ladies” reaction to gleefully take this opportunity to go after LVP for it while comforting “poor Dorit” makes them look like assholes. Especially since Teddy and Kyle were the ones who kept bringing it up. Rinna (who I actually find kinda funny at times - does she call her husband Harry Hamlin in bed?) needs to go back to her corner. She’s practically salivating. Off-topic but related. I love Kyle’s dog Storm(?). That’s my kind of dog.
