I love pink a little more than should be allowed (ok, a lot more) but even i know there is a time and a place for it


SPOILER ALERT: if you haven't seen the finale of The Real Housewives of New York City yet, you may not want to read on.

Oh. Em. Gee. Can we just talk about Ramona's glittery, spaghetti-strap, barbie pink number she had on at 21? And, was she seriously an hour and a half late because she hired a hair and makeup professional to come to her house to primp her for DINNER? I could understand if she was going to one of the shows for Fashion Week, or was invited to the Met's Costume Gala, but for a dinner? that kids were invited to? Then again, I have to remind myself that she is filming a reality show, and lord only knows the lengths I would go to to be camera-ready at all times.

Regardless, I can't watch Ramona for more than 5 minutes (ok, yes I sat through the hour-long finale but cringed everytime her scary, over-botexed face came on the screen). Seriously, what was the woman thinking?! It's sad, but I think her 12-year old daughter has more of a sense of fashion than she does. My favorite part was when Allie (Jill's daughter) asked Avery what she thought of her mom's outfit. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be seen with my mom dressed like that in public, unless she was filming for Legally Blonde III.

Back to the scene at 21, though. I have had the pleasure of eating there on a couple occasions, and let's just say if you want the best hamburger that you have ever tasted in your entire life, you absolutely MUST experience this succulent piece of meat. But, be willing to shell out $30. When I saw little Francois poking his plastic kangaroo figure into Jason's (Bethenny's boyfriend--who rushed to the restaurant from tucking his kids in) hamburger, I was mortified. Not even for the fact that $30 was going to waste and an entire meal, but the fact that Alex and Simon (the little brat's parents) said and did absolutely nothing! Excuse me, if that was me I would have been dragged outside faster than you can say, check please!

Wow, so I had a lot to get off my chest in this episode. Even after watching these ridiculous women, I still have dreams of being a NY housewife someday, but I want to break the stereotype. I will not be the 40+ year old woman in the sparkly ensemble embarassing my daughter. I will have manners and not show up late to dinner, and most importantly, I will hire great baby-sitters.
