Thanks to all who helped me on Reunion Day!
Marc Bouwer and Eric Wheeler for that amazing dress & accessories, Robert at United Nude for the fab shoes, Ray Griffiths for the jewelry, Patricia Longo on hair and makeup and Jenn Ramirez for her wonderful assistance. Here are a couple of pics Jenn snapped of the getting ready process, one with Patricia putting final touches together.
And one of me at the morning break, self-medicating with coffee. Plain latte, no sugar, whole milk with a water chaser. Yum.
Biggest thanks of all goes to my hubby Simon, who is my partner, my rock and my best friend.
After we finished taping, Simon and I grabbed Ramona and Sonja and headed to the Gawker Summer of Love party, where climbing five flights of stairs was a cakewalk compared to listening to the brunettes all day…
Alex-Although at times I dont agree with your response and actions I still feel drawn to pick you as my favorite. I always thought you were the voice of reason and this season it was a little harder to keep up with you. But your still awsome and dont go to Jills level(not that you do) its not worth it!
Alex, why is it you can forgive and forget, when Sonja threw you out of her house, and when Mario makes fun of where you live, but you can’t seem to move forward when Jill or Kelly say some thing you don’t agree with you go on and on, to me this season you just won’t shut up about any thing and it is annoying, when Luann defends Jill, it’s not like the way you are, you act like a body guard. I can’t stand even watching the show any more, cause u 3 are like children all talking over each other.
Alex – You really have come to be the shows laughing stock! All of america have gotten to see the horrible, over dramatic piss poor acting career you were reaching for this season! YUCK!!!! As for your dumbbell drunken hot mess blonde friends, well as Kelly “the real voice of reason” said America can find a bunch of hot mess drunken blondes a dime a dozen- these trash bags are supposed to be representing NYC yet all they represented was TRASH!!! Ramona’s a Drunk, Sonja is a HOT MESS and Alex is a Wanna Be! You and your gay husband need to stop trying to ride on your cast mates coat tails and try to make your own names instead of throwing around the names of your non friends! I LOVED how Kelly ignored you at the reunion part 1 like you were not even there or talking – that is the way it should of been all season! You are officially ICED OUT! No body wants to hear what you or the gay man you live with has to say nor do we want to see either of you make up fake drama to try and get air time!!!! If for some reason Bravo actually brings you back I truly hope that the brunettes just ignore you all season just like in the beginning. Nobody gave you time when the RHONY started and they still should not give you any time now! At the reunion part 1 you looked way to desperate with you putting your two cents in on everything Andy had to say or ask! Even Andy rolled his eyes at you at one point!!! And what the hell was with the panting??? As Cindy asked “what are you a lap dog now?” You look and acted like on at the time! Then you agree that you allow and are for men yelling and controlling women?!?! What the hell is wrong with you??? The only thing I did like about you this season was the way you made sure you kept the pinot flowing and you helped make sure Ramona stayed drunk the entire season! Like the Countess said “YOU NEED TO GET A LIFE”! You lost a good friend in JILL, she is a good person who is real and really cared about you! You guys made up, yet at the reunion part 1 all you did was help Ramona attack her just because the truth is out the the fortune teller was 100% accurate and Mario is cheating, come on we all seen that coming! So why all of a sudden did you not like Jill again? The comment she made in the beginning of the season was BEFORE you two made up that was what she was trying to say to you when she kept saying it was in the beginning – but you were too busy with your BAD acting skills and trying to add your next 2 cents to a topic that had NOTHING to do with you that you did not get what Jill was saying. You lost a WONDERFUL friend, Ramona will never measure up to the kindness Jill brings as a friend! And Sonja just lets you hang around so you can be the assistant to her and Ramona, she really is not your friend either and she made fun of your gay live in all season as well! So why forgive her and not Jill? I know why, because you like being Ramona and Sonja’s side kick, assistant and as one is a drunk alcoholic and the other walks around without underwear on all season, well that gives you a lot to work with you know with your bad acting skills!
I agree with denise all the way!!!!! You and your live in gay need to get lives and stop trying so hard, it looks so desperate and NOT REAL at all!!!!
ALEX, YOU REALLY ACT A LITTLE BIT TOO MUCH, IN EVERY SEASON. IF YOU THINK THAT RAMONA AND SONJA ARE YOUR REAL FRIENDS “CUCKOO” AS WILL KELLY WILL SAY…
Hi, Alex. I always find you to be one of the more interesting housewives to watch since you are quite different than the rest of the bunch. It seems that part of the problem that you have with the other women is that they (except Ramona) are all very “traditional,” and would be happiest in the 1950s style relationships. I finally watched the reunion, and their lack of independence really stood out. They cringe when they hear you say, “c u next tuesday,” but I cringe when I hear them say, “A man should never yell at a lady.” Being an equal means taking the bad with the good, after all. It seems that they’re also used to the ’50s style relationships because control and manipulation seem to be very acceptable to them. The constant power-struggle that they have is tiresome to watch, and instead of confronting issues, they pull out the good ol’ fashioned, “I’m rubber, you’re glue” technique. I don’t see how you will ever be able to get along with these women. They talk about seeing different cultures and experiencing life, but when they have someone with a different set of values living close by, they shut that person out. They must mean that when they experience different cultures, it’s buying Gucci from someone with an accent.
I think the only unfortunate side I see to you is that you seem to put up with a lot until you explode. On one hand, it’s an admirable trait for you to not make every small thing an issue and have composure when you are addressing problems. On the other hand, your message seems to be lost at times because you wait too long to bring it up. It’s like you have to use puppy potty training techniques with these women. They forget they peed all over something if it’s not brought up immediately.
Best of luck to you and your beautiful family!
