S12.E15: Sheer Madness

[OnceSane]

Quote

The ladies attend Ramona's birthday bash, which comes to a grinding halt when Leah shows more skin than Ramona can handle.

Airs July 23, 2020.

[Straycat80]

Ramona with her frequent asshole behavior is worried about Dorinda and Sonja embarrassing her in front of the 60 girlfriends? Pleez! 

[eleanorofaquitaine]

I mean, good for Lu for working with formerly incarcerated individuals but she spent one night in jail. which isn't exactly the same as those who don't have her resources. 

ETA: Actually the one thing I like about Lu's work around her arrest, etc., is that she does give visibility to a lot of good programs doing great work.

 I appreciate LuAnne wanted to take all those ladies for a spa day, but I hope she can show them other things that they can do to get them jobs and help their lives move forward. 

[eleanorofaquitaine]

Did Ramona just say she didn't know what her water breaking means? 

[RedDelicious]

The makeup smudge on Mario’s jacket shoulder is driving me crazy 😝

[eleanorofaquitaine]

Avery seems like a genuinely a lovely young woman. Ramona and Mario must have done something right. 

[Mindthinkr]

Avery does that same nose squinched up smile that Ramona does. 

[Hangin Out]

When Ramona, Avery and Mario were having dinner together, I wonder if that was before or after she told the world he had a tiny weiner.

[eleanorofaquitaine]

How embarrassing for Wharton. 

[Straycat80]

Gayborhood. I learned a new word. Not surprised about Sonja’s drunk ass getting thrown out of a bar.  

[Mindthinkr]

Sonja needs to bite it and sell that townhouse stat. 50k/mth carrying costs? Ouch. 

[LibertarianSlut]

It’s ironic that Luann is advocating for people who were incarcerated.  She spent the better part of two seasons beating the justice system, violating probation and being allowed to repeatedly dodge incarceration for no good reason that I can ascertain.  So she spent a few hours in the Palm Beach clink with frozen mustard on a balogna sandwich?  Cry me a river.  

I did notice that Luann articulated her actions that were criminal in front of the group.  I don’t know whether that was edited out, but it didn’t seem like the rest of the group was taking accountability for their crimes.  I am not sure how I feel about bringing previously incarcerated women to the spa.  Doesn’t it depend on what they did?  I would have to review each and every file before bringing someone to a spa for rehabilitation.  If you murdered someone, or cut someone’s face with a knife, I don’t think you are deserving of a pedicure.  That’s just me.  

Mario was smart for moving down to Florida.  Ramona has said she might move there and she loves it there.  The demographics would really suit her if she wants to meet a man who is her age, with children Avery’s age, as she’s said in the past.  The numbers don’t lie—Manhattan has a dearth of single straight men.  I’m in my thirties and if I felt I had to meet a man ASAP, as Ramona seems to, I would most definitely leave Manhattan.  The house always wins in NYC, save for Staten Island.  

Leah looked like a rough 37 at the bathhouse.  I blame HDTV for having to view her spotted chest for a prolonged period of time.  The second I looked at her, I remembered Sonja saying she had saggy titties in the beginning of the season.  The entire chest area was so blighted.  Leah’s sister Sarah looked fab by way of comparison, and she is flat-chested.  She was just wearing a much more flattering bathing suit.  I think Leah is really feeling herself by being around women so much older than her.  She’s not the natural beauty that she seems to think she is.  I think she’s very insecure.  The insecurity, coupled with the crazy, is why she can’t get a man.  Rob is a smart man for keeping his distance.  Pita Chip is watching this, probably eating pita chips and laughing his ass off at the bullet he dodged.

Yes, that's what it is almost officially called in Philly (I lived there for two years but didn't go to Wharton).

Really!

[eleanorofaquitaine]

Dorinda screaming about Ramona "taking responsibility" for her behavior is rich. God, she is perhaps the most awful person on any of these shows and that is saying something.

[LibertarianSlut]

OMG, Sonja talked about getting laid at the Wharton School and then got kicked out of a Philadelphia bar and it’s in the press and doesn’t her daughter go to UPenn!?!  

Bitch, get to rehab.  Dorinda will probably even offer to drive you.  

[Hangin Out]

Dorinda is being extra nice and helpful lately ..until the next ten drinks.  Is she trying to redeem herself?   Only Ramona has a birthday.  I never knew she had a sister who looks like her.

Starting the episode and watching Luann at the meeting.  Liking the episode so far.  Am I too hopeful?

[eleanorofaquitaine]

Sonja and Dorinda's seething envy of Ramona is not attractive. And it's not like there aren't real reasons to dislike Ramona but for Sonja and Dorinda, it seems they mostly hate her right now because she has a life beyond the show. 

[Mindthinkr]

For her 50th bday party I thought that Ramona would have chosen a more flattering hair style. She said she was having her hair and makeup done. Heck I could have done that for her free. 

[Straycat80]

I really wanted Elyse, Leah and Dorinda to wear some crazy outfit to embarrass Ramona at her 50-60 girlfriends party. At least they gave her the middle finger by not wearing black. 

[MBJ]

Why is Ramona's waiter like 80?

I like Ramona's gold bracelets.  I think she picked them out in a recent episode.  Really nice.

It's her birthday party with 50 (ding!) friends, not her 50th birthday.  Ramona is in her 60s.

[Thumper]

The sleeves on Ramona’s red party dress look like they belong on a bridesmaid dress I wore in 1983.  
 

 

[eleanorofaquitaine]

Why would anyone ever want to be friends with Dorinda? And here we go again, with her pretensions of strength, when she's really quite obviously fragile and brittle. 

[Hangin Out]

All Ramona’s girlfriends look the same.  Faces pulled up and full of Botox.  Scary!  They must go to the same surgeon. Lol.

You are so right..,where is my head at...I know better. Thanks for the correction. I need a drink for this. 

[nexxie]

Leah was conned by Ramona, then ignored by her - so now Ramona’s gonna get turned-up Leah. Happy birthday!

[MBJ]

I love that Leah admitted getting her lips done and the Botox.  It's so annoying being gaslit.

That's so mean that her mother said that stuff.

LOL @ Leah saying "I will get my pussy done if I want to."

Double post.  Went for a snack, came back and saw my comment still in the “reply” box and hit “enter” ... again! 😜😜😜

Leah's insecurities are really coming through, which I guess I can understand based on what her sister said about her mother.  I could like Leah but I also think she needs to see a therapist to deal with awkwardness and insecurity.

Exact same.

"Normally Sonja can reel it in."

... Not from what I've observed but, okay, Lu.

[Mr. Miner]

Leah feel free to shit all over this party!

I used to live in the Gaybourhood in my city!  For 8 years.  It was great.  I miss it.  

[Mindthinkr]

Leah ordered a Tito’s and soda. Can y’all taste the differences in vodkas? I mean if I’m having a Bloody Mary I can’t taste a difference, but in a martini I don’t want rock gut (usually Grey Goose).

I can, yes.

Tinsley is a HUGE Tito's fan.  I wonder if she got Leah into it. She's made me curious to try it myself.

I honestly feel like it’s the first time we’ve heard her admit she did actually assault the police officer and resist arrest.  That is progress.

I love this too.  They knew Ramona wouldn’t wear black.

That’s a terrible dress.

The running count of Ramona’s friends is cracking me up.

[Mr. Miner]

Tito’s is pretty damn good! imo

[MBJ]

SONJA DATED BILLY IDOL?  Oh my god.  I want her to write the memoirs.

I can. I’m a Tito’s girl as well. If not available and I really want a vodka/soda, Grey Goose works.

is Ramon’s dress red? It looks hot pink on my tv, which throws me off bc the flowers and decor are red.

Yeah, I drink a lot of Vodka and I can tell the difference too.  My favorites are Effen and Ketel One.  Tito’s is a little harsh for me, which I am sad to report because its a Texas brand.

In what universe is Sonja asked to speak at Wharton about ANYTHING?

[gatopretoNYC]

Yes! Totally 80s. I also was reminded of a dress I wore to a wedding in the 80s. 😁 

Ramona's dress is also 2-3 inches too short.

Leah is going to blow those pretentious overly botoxed old ladies away.  Hahaha.  Her clothes are fabulous.

I’m seeing it that way too - the dress clashes with decorations.

Well, she also had a date a with John Kennedy, Jr.  just a few years ago, so......

[Mindthinkr]

Ramona taking I presume that expensive clutch over to the Howives to throw it in their face what her better friends got her was met with LuAnn basically telling her to go away she wasn’t playing that game. Wow. 

[MBJ]

I love that so many of us drink vodka.  These are my people.

I love Luksuowa - it's a potato vodka.  I became addicted.  Now that I don't want to run to the liquor store during the pandemic I just stock up on Stoli.  It's good enough for Karen Walker who was married to a m/billionaire(?), it's good enough for me.
