   Both parties looked fun, but Avery looks like a total Queen bitch who would enjoy making other kids lives hell at her school. I would probably prefer Luanns dds party except for the part of the little bitch being a racist….kinda hard to get over that little nugget.
   In the end, I would have just sent a gift/card to both and ordered in Chinese.
   But yeah – the ladies are super hideous this year. Can’t wait for hte reunion, though!

   Great recap, BBitz! I’m pretty sure Ramona moved up Avery’s Sweet 16 to compete with Victoria’s. And I love her handing LuMann the invite less than a week before the party. I’m surprised she didn’t grind Ramona into the ground about doing that. It was a nice episode but I hope things start blowing up again.

   Stellar cap-Bitz! I got 3 thoughts on this week.
   1) Simon is clearly a pretty signif alchy (among many other things), according to the puffy/swollen/discolored/droopy/putty-like mess that is his face. He is repulsive for multiple reasons, and by far the most unattractive HW man of the entire franchise. I would rather get a golden shower from Slade, while Kelsey Grammer t-bags me, as I’m gettin’ anal-ly fisted by “Dr.” Tiy-E MoGreezyhead, listening to Tareq Salami’s graphic dirty-talk, ending with an explosive Grand Finale Face Shot, courtesy of Midget’s “poison”, than even SEE Simon naked. That sounds dramatic, but I am THAT turned off by him.
   2) Although that magician “performing” at Jill’s panic-attack-inducing party-in-a-shoebox was super-lame, the way Rammy and Cuntess COMPLETELY ignored him as he did a trick for them, was unbelievably rude and classless. Even moreso on Cuntface’s end, since she….ya know….HIRED HIM!!! I died laughing at SuperMario’s damage control/mummble-tastic acknowledgement of the trick, AFTER dude had walked away with his head down in shame. Jeez, these people are stuck-up Dickheads.
   3) The oncoming panic-attack (as previously mentioned) from viewing that party scene ended the ep for me, so I missed the parties. I, personally, would opt to attend neither, but am always down for free booze, especially when under contract. All I got reguarding that storyline is an observation of Mini-Ramm’s extreme fucking rudeness toward all those involved in the planning, and what a COMPLETELY diff reaction that little brat got from her mom than what I would have. Well, I wouldn’t be alive to even write this. But Rammy? Bursting with pride! Apparently, the difference between an independent, assertive, vocal woman, and a disrespectful, aggressive, insulting shrew, doesn’t exist. At least in NY, it doesn’t.

   @Stefani, Victoria was caught on tape smoking a joint and using the term “My N—-.” I’m not sure how this labels her a racist, though. I do understand how racism can be implied when the term is used by a Caucasian person, but from my understanding, not having seen the video myself, I thought she was using it amongst her (other Caucasian) friends. While highly inappropriate to use the word at all, I’m not as quick to jump to the conclusion that she is racist. Then again, I haven’t seen the video and am just going by what I’ve been told it contains.. Maybe there is someone she is calling an n-word that makes her seem racist rather than just some privileged kid who loves to emulate gangster rappers?

   Either way, Ramona retweeted the video to her followers and it went viral. Subsequently, Victoria was kicked out of school. I smell a superheated feud next season. There will be blood!
   @Tmurda: I agree. I pegged Simon as a hardcore addict, too. His looks to’ up from the flo’ up! The puffy eyes, sallow complexion, eww, eww, eww. I think Alex is in some sort of denial. Or maybe just codependent. She’ll take Simon anyway she can, warts and all.

   The blog in question is the I Hate Jill Zarin site. It is creepy and vicious. Sure, you can hate a housewife..but to dedicate so much time to tearing someone down, especially just one housewife, is just too much. Cyberbullying to the extreme. Lame, too. Simon and Alex met with the blogger when they landed in Chicago for their book tour and took pics together. Simon even went on to post on the site himself so he can’t deny total culpability. This is probably why Bawby thought he was affiliated with it.

   I never had a Sweet 16. My dad was just like Ramona..planning a shingdig to invite all his friends and our family to when all I really wanted was either a party for just my friends, or pocket money for CD’s, clothes, and tacky Jane makeup. When he told me he’d rented the space and was booking the DJ, my next question was, “Yea, but how much money are you giving me?” “Money? Do you know how much money I am spending on your party?”, he responded. A party that my classmates would be quick to attend but even quicker to call lame, recalling all those middle-aged people doing the electric slide in their church outfits. “Well, if I can’t get any money, I don’t want a party”, I said, ever the bratty teenager. My Dad hung up on me and didn’t speak to me again until he canceled the party and greased my palm with a few hundred dollars. I win!

   In hindsight, maybe I should have had the party. But peer pressure is a mutha. In NYC, my friends were renting out clubs, some even charging a cover to profit off of those attending their Sweet 16’s. Some partygoers weren’t even classmates but were college students or just neighborhood hotties looking to hang with wily teens in party dresses. How could I compete with a room full of family members? My party would’ve been like Avery’s and I would have spent the bulk of my time trying to keep the adults from infringing on our good time.

   Give me Victoria’s party any day. The club, the minidress, the mom who left early..this is the stuff dreams are made of! To a teen, nothing’s lamer than parents who give a damn. lol

   Did Jill give her fat kid a sweet 16 party? I think she just sent her to fat camp instead.

    Can’t find the link now, but Avery is supposed to be studying at Oxford this summer. I’m sure Victoria will be perfecting blow jobs for her future career. Ramona for the win.

    I don’t watch this show…ever….but I try (clearly it’s not working) and keep up through the recaps and podgasm (which, I love, BTW)…anyway, because I don’t watch, I don’t know names. But that dude with the full beard and the sunglasses…the one that was compared to the dude from Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure….well, he reminds me of Will Ferrell’s version of James Lipton…I keep waiting to hear about this dude asking someone what his favorite curse word is! Sorry that’s so confusing…I’m waiting for the wine to sink in,

    BBitz, why you so funny?

    I am on team Luann with the party – I hate to admit it, but it is true. It seemed to be the kind of party a well heeled 16 New Yorker would have. And the parents were in the background. Ramona has to bring the drama, the booze (seriously, I love my drinkie poos, but if I had a drama cow over the status of liquor at my daughter’s party, she would probably would suffocate me with a pillow from that pseudo bed)

    TMurda – that first paragraph of your post – LOL!!! Simon does engender that hatred. I am tired of his theatrical, hard boozy looking presence on this show too.

    Sarcas – good looking out on the info. You could never have been as bratty as the girl at the super sweet 16 show who pitched a bitch fit about the color of her mercedes. Why she is alive to celebrate other birthdays is a mystery.

    The question for me is why on God’s green earth did Cindy ever agree to do this show…or more importantly, who the hell picked her and why?!! Just to humiliate her all season long?

    I mean, what did we learn about her? Bad teeth, dirty laundry, strange body odors, creepy relationship with her brother, ridiculous fashion choices, being constantly dismissed, ignored, and bullied by the other “housewives”… all in all, not a winning debut!

    I hope whatever publicity she garnered for her “Beaver Cleaver Waxing Parlors” was worth the public humiliation! I sort of anticipate for the reunion they just pulled up a kitchen chair for her to sit behind the other ladies on their elegant couches, from where she can occasionally wave at the camera, roll her eyes, and high five whichever housewife’s turn it is to storm off the set this go around..
    sad, sad…sad….SAD!

    I have to disagree that the “I Hate Jill Zarin” blog is vicious. It’s not just aimed at Jill. It was started out of frustration because Bravo would never publish people’s posts that didn’t agree with the party line. They wanted their opinions to be known and so they started to gather there. People are commiserating much like they do here with snark and humor.
    All of the RH franchises are recapped along with some other shows and there are guest interviews. Rich Ammons from DC did a little blog this past Father’s Day about what he learned from being on RHoDC.
    Simon did pop up on the site this spring to wish people happy Mother’s Day (not to bash anyone) and while he and Alex did meet with the woman who started the site SHE called them. They didn’t court her.
    Someone there posts hysterical photo caps and there’s a definite sense of community of people who care about each other’s personal lives. It’s not just bash the hell out of Jill. They pretty much hate Teresa, Tamra and Vicki too.

    You know, I totally get why people hate Ramona. But at the same time, I LOVE her. I can’t help it. She has that thing that makes me watch just so I can see what she will say or do. There are even times when her bug eyes show that even SHE is shocked by what she just said. But, she doesn’t back down from it. I kind of respect that about her. It doesn’t matter if she is a room full of people or just talking to someone alone, she would still say the same thing to bring the conversation to an awkward pause. If I hung out with her in real life, I would probably pop her in the mouth, but on Reality TV? She’s kind of awesome. I can’t imagine how boring the show would be if she weren’t on it. I watch the show just to see what she says and be either amused or appalled by it.
    I kind of feel the same way about Sonja. She hasn’t gotten to the point where I would punch her in the mouth or hit her with a flyswatter, but her TV persona makes me giggle. Sonja’s different though because the stuff that she says and does isn’t really malicious to anyone. She is more like a WTF person for me where I watch and then can’t believe she said or did whatever she just did.
    I will always love Sonja for the “Pecking Order” conversation. It was so over the top and perfect. It is really THE BEST way I have ever seen someone discuss the show on the show without mentioning the show. Plus, it played into that whole New York Society crap that all of these women would kill to be a part of, but could never actually be a part of because they are on the show. It was perfection.

    @PlathAddict, I respectfully disagree on the Rammy love. She makes me so nervous! She swills wine, dances like a dervish, insults everyone under the guise of being honest, and her crazy eyes bug out and skitter around in her noggin! She is the type of woman who ruins nights out for others if she is in the vicinity. Honestly, haven’t you ever gone out for a special evening and had it ruined by a loud mouthed drunk at a neighboring table? I’ve never hives a la Alex, but if I had to be around Romona I probably would. I wouldn’t pop her in the mouth, but I would cheer on anyone who did! As for Sonja, she is entertaining isn’t she? But I notice that even though she steps way beyond the bounds of good taste constantly in her pursuit of her next sexual partner, she does not step on her castmates toes about their men. Actually Romona has the only attractive one; but wouldn’t it be fun to see a drunk Sonja go after icky Simon, maybe as a bet? He would be horrified at the threat to his virginity, and Alex would go insane.

    I personally dislike Luann and Jill, but Luann’s party was much better (and her kid wasn’t acting like an entitled brat). Of course, I’ve grown to loathe Ramona (and her creepy husband) so I’ll admit a bias. Just the fact that, as someone said, Ramona would post a vid of her friends kid behaving badly KNOWING it could get her kicked out of school and lose precious connections AND earn her a bad rep (whether deserved or not, she seems like a sweet kid but I don’t remember exactly what was said in the video) is just VILE and entering Danielle territory. What exactly has Luann’s DAUGHTER done to Ramona personally? And Ramona needs to act like a freakin’ adult and not meddle into the lives of someone so much younger (and Ramona hun, you don’t look a day younger than 50 and a hard 50 at that with your waxy skin, so start dressing appropriately). Total psycho bitch.

    I totally get why Avery was making that “spoiled” face. I don’t think she was being rude to the planners–I mean she was, but not on purpose. What she was trying to do was not scream at her mother in front of the cameras. Ramona made that party ALL about herself (like she does at every other party) and Avery, probably from experience, understood where things where heading when Ramona said she needed half the space for her middle aged friends. Gag me. The only party that should be aimed more for the adults than the kid is when the child is one years old, and other than some toys, cake and a silly hat, has no idea what is going on (by two yrs. old and up it should be about what the kid wants–hear that Taylor from Real Housewives of Beverly Hills?).

    Ramona’s party looked awful. All the kids were inhibited by the adults and it looked like you could get lost in the ghost room–and not in a good way. The fake snow just looked like everybody had bad dandruff.

    And what was with Victoria’s hair–she couldn’t brush it for her own party? She looked like she had been rolling around in a haystack.

    Maybe LuMann made the party on the same day as Ramona so that she didn’t have to invite Ramona. Makes sense to me.

    Ramona drilling Lumann about the party was not out of friendly curiosity. That woman is so effing obvious. How rude. Ramona competed with Victoria’s party, and then went and competed with her own daughter! It grosses me out.

    Ramona is running around with the misguided beliefs that she is the only who feels things deeply, everyone is desperate to know what is on her mind at all times, and if she holds anything in for even two seconds, she will immediately disappear/become irrelevant (actually, that is something she should fear, since she became irrelevant a couple of years ago).

    The I Hate Jill Zarin Website was started during a time when Jill was being AWFUL. Bravo wasn’t telling the ‘behind the scenes’ stuff (some of which did come out in the reunion show–like how Bethany never knew Bobby was sick, etc.), like how Jill was cyber-bullying a well respected critic for not liking her book–a book she sent him to review in the first place. I think she called him an anti-semite? Meanwhile, on the Bravo Blogs, all we saw were blogs about how wonderful Jill is. In fact, it was on that website that I found the link to this website (which I chose to follow instead).

    And as 2muchbravo said, the ‘author’ of the website did seek out Simon and Alex, and she did it because she ADORES them. Jill would have a point if Simon went looking for this blogger, but the blogger is such a big fan of the couple that it would be hard for a normal person to ignore, let alone a fame hogger like Simon. And at the time the website was started, Jill was being really, really mean to Alex. Like Lumann is acting toward her now. When someone shows up at your door (book-signing), tells you that they think your arch enemy is a pig and that you are the best–and they have started a website stating all of this, well, let’s just say I don’t see Jill saying no to it if the shoe were on the other foot.

    ITA, TV Junkie! I don’t know, all the ladies are deplorable at times but it’s those three that I like the least. Maybe because their shenanigans aren’t as entertaining? (Well, Ramona can be entertaining but I cringe with secondhand embarrassment more than I laugh at her antics.)

    To me, just because somebody says the N-word with an “A” doesn’t always make them fascist. If Victoria was talking about an African-American student and called them the N-word with an “ER” then, yeah, I would think she was fascist. I’m African-American and I have friends who use the N-Word (with an “A”). I don’t like it, but it seems more and more Caucasians think it’s ok to say it. And we, Blacks, allow it!

    So I don’t think Victoria is rascist at all tbh.

    @Jackayy, whether it ends with an “A” or an “ER”..the true test is whether or not they’re also using it on each other rather than just directing it at Black people. Because if the word (whatever the ‘suffix’) is only directed at the Black person in the group, then that’s a lil suspicious, imo. Especially when someone defends it by saying, I don’t mean it in a bad way. Well, if it’s a compliment, you should like to hear yourself called one, too, right?

    If you call these guys your friends and you don’t like when they say it, then say something. Don’t say “we, Blacks” allow it because I’ve seen plenty speak up. Heck, I’ve seen people of other races speak up. But maybe you’re afraid to make waves. Hey, it’s a lot easier to be an Uncle Tom, laughing though it hurts, than to make waves and seem like the ‘militant Black girl.’ We know how unpopular those girls can be. But better that than to hate yourself for not speaking up to people who maybe have no idea they’re being offensive. If they’re your friends they’ll understand why it makes you uncomfortable. If not, drop ‘em like a hot potato. Good luck!
