Most of the Real Housewives of New York and Me

Guess what I did tonight?

I went to a Kodak-sponsored event that was hosted by RHONY's own Jill Zarin, one of my top five favorite Real Housewives of New York. As soon as I got to the hotel, I was asked to sign a nondisclosure manifesto. So let me reassure you that I will not be disclosing anything, and not just because I was too busy sampling all the signature cocktails.

I signed my life away and then the check in lady told me that Bravo was filming and OMG, can you guess what they were filming? It wasn't Shear Genius, but it certainly would have been my lucky day if they were styling hair. Yes, it was RHONY.

All the fabulous ladies were there. Kelly, The Countess, Jill, of course, and Ramona. Also Bobby! And Allie!

Here are my somewhat catty observations:

* Is LuAnn's ex husband blind or something? Because he may be a Count, but she's a fucking goddess.



* Kelly is beautiful too. And both she and LuAnn are so tall. And thin. Fuck.



* Kelly is also smiley.



and toothy.

* Jill is adorable. There was a woman who was doing her make up that looked so superglamorous it was almost too much for me. The make up woman reminded me of Anna Nicole Smith. Except, you know, alive.

* Ramona has a cute new haircut. She is shorter than the others. Also, she was kind of off to the side.

* Except when Jill was making a presentation, there was a Raising of the Voices and everyone looked over and Ramona and Kelly were having a heated exchange. I can't remember what was said, I think it was along the lines of "Do you read The Mouthy Housewives? That's where I get all my advice!" and then Ramona said, "Yes, I love it!" or maybe something else that ended with Ramona STORMING OUT and Kelly saying "Bye! Hope you enjoyed that" or SOMETHING. Shit, I'd be the worst spy. But it was totally dramatic and JUST LIKE ON TV!

* The only RHONY that I saw eating anything was Jill. So I took a picture.



* I am a very bad photographer with a piece of shit for a camera.



As you can see, there were people there with bigger and better cameras. Also, they seemed to be following the concept of FACING the subject that they were photographing. Show offs.
* It wasn't until I got home that I realized that Bethenny wasn't there. I didn't miss her.

* I stood right next to Bobby a few times. Yes, you all may touch me.




* I did miss Alex and Simon, though.

* I am now having a huge anxiety attack that I was secretly filmed by Bravo. Probably talking to myself. And putting hors d'ovaries into my purse.

It was so much fun! I didn't talk to anyone except like the head of Kodak or something and the barkeep, but I'm pretty sure that the Real Housewives of New York and I are totally best friends now. God, I hope they want to borrow my clothes. Or lend me theirs.

What! They didn't sign you up for the next season?

And did you miss Simon or just his red leather pants?

That's awesome!

And it reminds me that we need to come up with nondisclosure agreements for the Aiming Low party.

OMG. I can't wait to tune in. I can almost picture it. Marinka with a piece of shit camera talking to herself, on camera. You will be famous and all over Talk Soup.

Can I have your autograph?

I have stood next to you! That makes me awesome!!

Very cool. I probably would have smacked Kelly and her stupid smile off her face. WEll, not really, that would have made me look stupid, but I most definitely wouldn't have smile back.

Holy crap, dude! You're so brave. The minute they said, "filming", I'd have been out of there! But that's so cool you got to see all of them live, in person. You'll have to let us know if you end up on TV!

That's awesome! I can't wait to see if you were on tv, subtly pocketing caviar while looking around suspiciously.
I hope the non disclosure part is your tennis match with Ramona!

I am heartbroken for you that Simon wasn't there. I know how you've been secretly plotting to steal him away from Alex ever since you saw him in his red leather pants.

Wow, maybe now Bravo will come to their senses and get You Your Own Show. Now that, I'd watch!

I wa sso totally hoping that you'd have some scoop on Kelly being her usual crazy self and slapping a "boyfriend" or something.

That is so cool that you got invited to that event. I've never seen the show so I'd have been like huh? Who's famous here? But glad you had fun!

Since I don't know who any of those women are, it's my conclusion that you were the most famous person there. Nice work out there solo on the blogger circuit.

What a fun event! I don't watch that stuff, so I don't know any of those women....but I am familiar with barkeep now and then.

Ahahahaha! Did you share crockpot recipes with them? Maybe that's the secret to their thinness: the food takes so long to cook, you forget you were ever hungry.

Got a great mental image of that make up woman in my mind and now I can't get "Don't Be Tardy for the Party' out of my head. Fuck.

I was going to ask you months ago if you watched that show because that's how I sort of imagined you living. Funny you saw them in real life!

I'm so jealous. It makes me want to move to NYC, even if you don't have a Target. There's always Target online, right?

Anyway, I hope you pitched to Bravo about a Mouthy Housewives TV show. But that's probably in the nondisclosure thing you had to sign.

Oh, lucky girl!! I love the RHONY. I don't watch any of the other versions, but NY. Glad you have a good time. You are so famous now...

Kelly looks just like a horse. In the nicest way possible, of course.

The funniest thing about this post is that you were at a KODAK sponsored event - with a piece of shit camera. LOL

I do not watch the RHONY but it's awesome that you saw them and now I want to start watching it just so I can see you piling food into your purse :)
