I completely agree with that. Although I hope they all stay (sans George) because I want to see Heather's inevitable bad edit and Ramona's comeuppance. ETA: You're welcome. I enjoyed goggling those images this afternoon. House didn't get cleaned but whatever.

From Heather's blog: Did we discuss on TWOP how the ratings are affected negatively when people DVR? Is that true? Do you think this is why Heather wrote that?

Rhetorica: The show evolves from the very late 50s, I believe, to 1968ish. So the fashions went from buttoned up school marmy to swingin' 60s. I think this is why Aviva's fashion choices don't faze me that much because I love that era. I've seen Aviva copy all of these looks: This: http://molempire.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/mad_men_season_2_fashion_6-594x418.jpg This: http://ris.fashion.telegraph.co.uk/RichImageService.svc/imagecontent/1/TMG9167689/k/Mad-men-cover_2177867a.jpg

I would apply this to the light green vest with silver zippers(?) that Lulu wore to the Berkshire bar. It looked dated and like it was something she might have had in storage from an earlier time. Who knows? Maybe Lulu is now on a budget. If anyone can pull off recycled clothing it will be her.

This. It was wrong for Aviva to bring it out then, but HeeHawHeather didn't need to pass it around at that moment and cause the rest of the braying bitches into distracting the other guests and the speaker.

I think you hit the nail on the head for the disconnect for me when it comes to Aviva's style. What she wears, including the school marm funeral attire, is very Paris Fashion Week 2013. But who we're seeing it on, on the runways and on the streets is a younger customer. So while I like and "get" the clothing, it probably seems odd to mainstream America and it doesn't always look great on her. ETA: amarante, I think this could apply to certain things Luann wears, too. 3 or 4 years ago her head wraps looked kind of trendy and Hyannis Port. But as she gets older, they're looking more babushka-like and may be better left to the Taylor Swift generation. During her picnic with Sonja she had a neckerchief (sp?) on and she kept tugging at it. Again, another one of those items that looked great on her a few years ago but looks uncomfortable and a little too 'precious' now.

Here it is on her website. It's priced at $2000: http://www.vdlartwork.com/#!emotional/c1t44 I like it except for the head. It's interesting, to me, that all the women, within the body, are headless but the actual head is not curvy like the bodies but severely angular. A few of her pieces contain headless women. Wonder what that's about?

Aviva has a definite style this season. From head to her five toes. Even that yellow wallpaper. The hair, make-up, clothing is all late 50's, early 60's vibe ala Mad Men's first couple of seasons. Last night she delved into the mid-60s with the Nancy Sinatra hair and make-up. I think she has great style but it's not to my taste. (although I kind of loved her doggy funeral look) Even her Century21 realtor blazers - all over the place at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week last year. Yikes.

I don't know what point Aviva was trying to make about Victoria's art in relation to George. Though talented, the art I've seen of hers does strike me as dark and/or sexual. If that's Aviva's point, I tend to agree. Bravo used to have a gallery up of several of her pieces but it's 'not available' now. This is the only one left up. Courtesy of Bravo.

I could only side-eye Bethenny's screechfest talk show so I didn't see many episodes, but are you saying Jason and Bryn were on the talk show? The one that just got cancelled?

Always. In ALL ways. /Ryan Serhant 

At first I didn't see how you got 'Slenderman' when you look at Carole. She's always reminded me of a cross between Munch's The Scream and a turtle. But yeah, Slenderman is sort of Scream-ish. I think it is. They can fast forward right to Heather's, though. Carole is so bland. Heather's bad edit is going to be epic.

Not only are they putting the crap up, but they use the crap from the verrrrrry bottom of the bucket. George's comments about what he'd do to Ramona at her funeral...WHY would they choose to leave that in? They could have just as easily left it out. It was shocking, it was gross, it was possibly the most disgusting thing I've heard on any of the franchises. So the purpose was to shock, or show us what we already know about George. Maybe it was a test to see how far they could push the envelope before viewers turn the Hos off. If ratings are high this week, they'll know they struck gold and they'll keep testing the limits. Or is Andy really so gross and vile that he really thinks that shit is funny?

Me, neither. I can NOT see Jason, nor Bethenny, (but I feel more confident about Jason) putting that little girl on display - ever again - in any show. I just googled Jason and Bryn to see if there were many pictures of them together because if there were and they looked staged or like Jason had called the paps, I might've changed my mind about that. But all I came away with is that he is cah-ray-zee for that little girl and she, him. I just said, "awww" a dozen times. Being a good daddy is hot.

It's a money/status/generational thing. I always thought 'boarding school' was a misnomer. It should be 'elite country club for future titans of the universe school'. Not unusual for the monied, especially the Europeans.

Sorry. I thought it was you. So many folks here talking about her boho chic (or un-chic) style as it pertains to her clothing. I think it suits her.

I read the book and I didn't get boho as much as I did just a lower income family scenario. It's possible she comes by it naturally but every picture I've seen of her, prior to her appearance on RHONYC, she's very conservative in her dress. There's one when she's doing a story somewhere dusty that she's got on khakis and a t-shirt but other than that she's buttoned up pretty tight. Like a frog's ass in water as my husband so charmingly likes to say. http://www.pinterest.com/pin/329255422729153391/ Those nails! So not Boho! http://images.smh.com.au/2013/11/06/4899896/wika_An1-20131105183447991790-300x0.jpg She looks like she was HEAVILY influenced by Lee, here. Or she evolved into Boho at a later time in her life. Like during SATC. ;-) http://www.bravotv.com/media/images/promote/2014/03/carole%202.jpg O/T: after browsing for pics of Carole, can I just say that JFK Jr. and Carolyn were a beautiful couple.

Good Lord, my eyeballs, no. LOL. That's what I mean - it's behavior that seems so beyond the pale that A.) either Mr. Hoppy is that weird and really did it, B.) Bethenny embellished or....C.) she never said it in court AT ALL and it was the tabs who made it up that she did. But my negative feelings about Bethenny are so deeply ingrained that I fully believe she's capable of twisting the truth to suit her purpose, climbing over anyone to get to where she wants to be. Here's a picture of Beth, Bryn and Jason together recently. The site says it was May 30 of this year. I hope they can keep it classy. http://hollywoodlife.com/2014/06/05/bethenny-frankel-custody-battle-jason-hoppy-daughter-bryne/ Thanks, shoegal. I'll have to check that out.

I heard that nobody would show up on her behalf. That said, I don't know if I believe any of what we're hearing is actually true. How do we know she even said that about Jason's dad? I didn't follow the case that closely but could much of this be made up by the tabs? I mean, I actually find it hard, and sad, to believe that NOBODY, not Julie, not Beth's friend (Andy?) nor the girlfriend in Florida who said Beth's eggs were old - wouldn't show up to support her. As far as perjuring herself, she could have said (if she said it at all) that Mr. Hoppy was walking around in his underwear if it was really only boxer-like shorts and a t-shirt. Not really perjury but a slight twist in what people might perceive as underwear. In any event, I'm glad it's over for Bryn's sake.

HyperBethie is full of hyperbole, methinks. Mr. Hoppy probably had on boxer-like shorts and a t-shirt. Similar to what my husband wears to bed when he chooses to dress up and act fancy. I don't like her or trust her. I believe she would/did blow up the tiniest bit of nothing to suit her cause. Because that's all she had: A bunch of little shit that she tried to blow up into big shit. Big fat fail. She had nothing. I don't even know why they allowed that Tidbit of Stupid into the courtroom. Where were the people who saw Mr. Hoppy in his underpants?

The first time I got that "I'm too cool-for-school, look how laid back I am" vibe from her was in her first season. She's riding in a convertible through the sexy streets of NYC with Rockstar Russ and listening to the song he supposedly wrote for her. And she's got her feet up on the dashboard. Now, unless you're on a road trip of 1,000 miles and trying to avoid a blood clot, or you're five years old, put your damn feet down. What. Only me?

Me, too. Awww. Mr. and Mrs. Hoppy Sr. didn't know what they were getting themselves into, is my guess. They probably thought doing short stints on the show would be fun. Something out of the ordinary. Ya know, them being 'simple folk from Hazelton' or whatever Bethie called them. I don't go along with her assessment that they were 'simple' but I'd say they might have been a tad naïve.

Wearing my distaste for Heather, loud and proud. Between the hip/hop schtick, her gun moll outfit at Millou's funeral and waving the cigar around at the racetrack, Radzi and Co. should nickname her Bugsy. And she'd love it. She so gangsta. Loved the racetrack. The excitement was palpable. Although I think she's gorgeous, Kristen's hat made her look like Dorothy's Tin Man. Sonja is just sad.
