Ramona has that military stance quote "Shoulders back, chest out, stomach in" ingrained in her brain, only thing is, she forgot the "stomach in" part. Her posture is awkward because she's always pulling her shoulders too far back and projecting her chest too far out. It becomes even more awkward when she is conscious of it, like when she knows the camera is zooming in on just her.

Sorry - weird things going on with my replies...so, I'm not really responding to bichonblitz's post of 6/24/16. It was driving me crazy trying to remember where else I had seen the guy that Joanna Cassidy was after. Then I remembered that he was Samantha's creepy neighbor on SATC, and she got her period on his $2,000.00 sheets. And, wasn't that Rudy Guiliani's first wife, Donna, as one of the other desperate widows?

I don't think she got the opportunity to answer because Ramona jumped in, demanding the detailed guest list, with marital status and financials of all the male guests. ;-)

Reza should be careful about himself. If he doesn't change his ways, he has a very good chance of becoming the male version of Vida.

Isn't that either a fancy way of Jenn saying she is house sitting, or maybe, sitting around her parents' house all day? ;-)

LOL!!

I agree with you, because it was a very catty comment from Carole, but it also was a truthful one. I thought that Carole used to claim that she was above all that type of pettiness, and embraces a "Live and Let Live" mantra...guess not! I don't think that Luann needs to wear a white dress to stand out at her engagement party - it's not the same as a young woman, among her other same-aged, single friends. Luann will be shoving that 8 carat canary diamond in everyone's face as soon as they step onto the yacht. Luann is no shrinking violet - she will be sure that the light shines on her (and her finger sparkler) at all times. What bothers me about Luann with her giddiness is that she is acting like a 24 year old virginal blushing bride. I like Luann most of the time, I'm happy for her, and glad that she has found her soul-mate, or whatever, but she is also a mature woman. The whole jumping up and down, squealing "I'm getting MARRIED!!!" is a little too much for me to take. I really, really do hope that she and Tom get married and enjoy a lifetime of happiness together, if for no other reason than to continue to throw it up in the naysayers' (Ramona, Sonja and Bethenny) faces on a daily basis.

I was expecting Ramona to ask Luann for a full dossier on each of male guests, including marital status and copies of the financial reports. Ramona came off as rather desperate, again, to latch on any available guy close to her age. If you didn't catch it, she wasn't happy when Luann named one guy and then mentioned he was bringing his three gay friends.

Wasn't there a scene a while back where Luann told Sonja she was seeing a few guys, but there was one that seemed "special"? And, also, didn't Luann say in one of her talking heads that she told the girls she was getting serious with someone, but didn't want to tell them who he was until she was sure? (Or something like that - or, maybe I'm imagining the whole thing, LOL!!) I don't understand how none of them (Ramona, Sonja and/or Luann) knew of the other's relationship/dalliance/hook-ups with Tom. As has been mentioned, the UES social circle is a small place. If Ramona was out on a date, or two or three, at anyplace in the area, wouldn't they have run into or been seen by one of Sonja's acquaintances, or vice versa? Wouldn't that acquaintance have either phoned or texted Sonja or Ramona "Hey...I just saw Sonja/Ramona out to dinner with that guy you've been dating/hooking up with?" The gossip circle seems to have acted pretty quickly whenever people saw Tom with someone other than Luann, wouldn't it have worked the same "BL"?

I was wondering if the dresses (or at least the halter sundress) are from her shopping channel clothing line. Luann is similar to Lisa Vanderpump, imo. They both look almost always look fantastic in casual daytime outfits that they just sort of "throw together", but usually are not quite up to par for evening or cocktail party styles. ETA: I just checked out Luann's collection on Evine - neither of the two white dresses are there.

Looked like she stole it from MJ's (Shahs of Sunset) closet. It was a total bitch move on Sonja's part to wear that dress. She mentioned she would approach Tom "coquette-ishly"...ain't nothing coquette-ish about that get-up! That was a total "Fuck you, Tom - see what you're gonna be missing" dress. I don't know, maybe I'm a bit more conservative, but I didn't think it flattered her - I thought it trashed her down. She looked too slutty and too try-hard.

I thought her parents were lovely, and they seemed to be very loving and generous people. Plus, they had a beautiful home - nice blend of Eastern and Western decor.

I've had it with Sonja and Ramona bitching/whining/bemoaning the fact that Tom could have possibly chosen someone other than them. To hear Sonja talk about Tom and herself, it seems like she was really nothing but a fuck-buddy, not even a friend with benefits. She said that they would connect when he was not dating or seeing anyone else (she mentioned something about not hearing from/seeing him for a while, and then, when he broke up with his girlfriend, they re-connected). To me, a FWB is someone that you are truly friends with, speak with on a regular basis, and you both just sort of hook up when the mood strikes, the time is right, and the alcohol was flowing. Ramona is just stirring up shit and buzzing in Sonja's ear to make her feel bad. She talks about how Luann is not a good friend to Sonja because Luann told Sonja to have a sip of champagne, but what kind of friend is Ramona by keeping on telling Sonja how wrong Luann and Tom's relationship is. These women are all a bunch of sharks, circling, waiting for the chum to fall from the yacht. I think someone has a better chance of survival in shark-infested waters than they would on that "ship of fools" (one thing that Bethenny said that actually was accurate and not exaggerated).

Well, I guess he's thinking "while the cat's away, the mouse will play"...too bad he didn't remember about Skype and Facetime. You're right - he's a dick.

I wonder how her good friend, Ramona, will react to Bethenny's talking head comment about Ramona, Sonja and Luann's lips all touching the same "body part" {cough, cough, eye roll by Bethenny} of Tom's. That joke fell flatter and faster than a failed souffle.

I'm sorry - I hit a glitch trying to respond to Alonzo Mosely's post. Did anyone catch the quick glimpse of Jules' childhood photo in her parents' home? Definitely not the same super-skinny Jules we are seeing now.

I think Kelly mentioned that her husband suffered from Narcissistic Personality Disorder. I think that he and Vicki will get along fine, because I believe that Vicki also displays a lot of very, very strong narcissistic tendencies - enough that she could benefit from some therapy for NPD herself.

Very well said, Giselle, and you are right. I was too harsh in my assessment. :-)

I'm not a tequila drinker, either (tequila and I ended our friendship many, many, many years ago, when it made me do things that I still don't remember and probably shouldn't...), but I do enjoy 1921 crema de tequila, which is more like a cordial for after dinner (sort of like Bailey's, but better). These people that think tequila is just for shots and getting drunk are stupid in my mind. If that's the purpose for which you're drinking tequila, than, don't waste your money on the good stuff, 'cos you're probably going to be puking it up in a few hours, anyway.

I agree with all of your post, Scoobie! I thought that Shannon was going for a more general "hippy/flower child" look (which would have really been more of a 60's look than a 70's look), with the flow-y maxi dress, and flower headband. When she said she was more into the "rock and roll" lifestyle of the 70's than the disco style, I thought her outfit would be more Joan Jett/Grace Slick, and less Linda Ronstadt or Michelle Phillips. I don't like Kelly - not one bit. I think she is trying too hard, and she comes across very, very unlikable - even in her talking heads. One thing I will say, though - she looked amazing in that suede dress and the long Farrah hair looked good on her. The streaking scene (Tamra and Shannon) was cringeworthy, and I don't think it brought the hoped-for lightening up of the party after the drama.

I agree with you - her comments about "drugs and Ashton Kutcher" was definitely a reminder that she is too young to actually remember the 1970's (she wasn't born yet), and her only reference to that time was a nostalgic TV show. The comment, I assume was supposed to be funny, but it was kind of snarky, to me. Kind of like if the other women were going to a 1950's party, they could say the only thing they know about the 1950's would be poodle skirts, Ron Howard and Henry Winkler (from Happy Days).

Yeah - it's a really tacky name, imo.

Well, if that's the one Terry was filming, then, I completely take back what I said. I didn't realize he had another "Botched" show that actually does something to help people who really need it, and I do admire that. And, Heather shouldn't be complaining about him traveling for that show...not at all.

I heard past tense, as well. To me, it seemed like Vicki was calling Brooks to drunkenly bitch him out about the fact that she stuck by him, she loved him, during his cancer scam, and now, he's left her to deal with the fallout. She seemed pissed, almost "family van phone call" pissed off. It was like "I believed you last year, I stood by you, and now, you're gone, and I'm left with no friends because of you."
