   Dear Alex

   Never argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

   That mess was painful. How do you get owned by anyone named after a platter in the worst sit in cafeteria in Texas.

   You right @ 2Hyper; I should not insult the Platter like that!

   Oh,Alex needs help in debate – the girl can’t string a sentence together when faced with a barracuda like Luann. Or Jill. Or Kelly. Or Kellys horse (the plastic one in her living room).
   And while I wish I were as skinny as Alex that lingerie that Simon picked out made her look as dumpy and fat as….well me! If I ever doubted that Simon was gay, that he would pick that as a sexay outfit just sealed the deal for me.

   @Faye — I will have you know *darling*, that the Luann platter is the most exclusive and surely the classiest of platters available at Lubys. In fact, it is not available at all to the plebian hordes but rather one must be of a certain…*sort* to order it.

   Ugh..Hate her with a passion. I wish to god someone somewhere has the photo of the Countess and the trailer she grew up in. Not that there is anything wrong with growing up in a trailer but for someone who pretends to be of the manor born it would be a lovely comeupence.

   It would also be a lovely comeupence for Bawby to have a little shiksa on the side and have that come out. Never have I seen someone so happy about anothers possible marital problems.

   I imagine LuMan is like Hycinth Bouquet at home alone. “Who is that calling me on my white slimline telephone with last number redial? MUST be important because I am the Cuntess. Oh, it’s just you plain Jane 1/2 Native American sister.”

   LuAnn reminds me of Gollum, going around saying “my darling” and “my love” all the time. Its creepy.

   Laughing my ass off at Alex looking like Cruella Deville. It’s perfect, even down to Cruella’s tiny droopy sad little titties.

   You, BBitz, are genius!

    I feel sorry for Alex too-BUT-who gets mad about other people’s arguments? Ramona wasn’t even thinking about it anymore and she was tiptoeing around with Sonja acting a fool, and Luann was chilling getting a henna tattoo. So although Luann is an uppity bitch, Luann IS kinda justified in her Alex “get out of my face and mind your biz” Alex smack down. Ramona is not scared of Luann, she doesn’t need Alex’s pitiful backup.

    LOVED that Sonja cut No Social Skills Cindy out of all the pictures, and was like, YEP, I did that shit! And what about about it? That was my favorite part.

    The problem with Alex is that she thinks of herself as the learned intellectual of the bunch. Remember all the pretentious language, the French and piano lessons for the kids, the whole thing about having all the classic novels around the house for the kids to pick up? Now she thinks that she can basically use that intellect to right all perceived wrongs (and of course, get some camera time). The part that she doesn’t get is that YOU CAN’T REASON WITH THAT BUNCH OF CRAZY HOS!

    Luann is delusional. On WWHL when the poll question was Alex or Kelly she was flabbergasted that people chose Alex. Also on the subsequent show she tweeted because I believe the guest sided with Alex. Why Luann thinks that the way she handled that situation was appropriate is beyond me. On the fact that you were pissed when you went in there and you were rude. You came to meet her to talk it out but all Luann did was talk over, insult, and interrupt Alex because she thinks Alex is beneath her.

    I was recently invited to an event in NYC where the guest list included some very wealthy and powerful NY women who happen to be wives too. I was standing with a few of them who were talking about being in a restaurant a few months back where Bravo was filming some of the NY HW’s. More than one of them mentioned that even with the exposure of the show, that none of these cast members would ever be included in an actual ‘Society’ event, as no one really knows them and that includes Countless.

    It confirmed to me what I always suspected. These women are *stars* in their own minds. People who have true class and money would never act as they do and no one will have anything to do with them.

    When the cameras are off, no one pays any attention to them or invites them anywhere. They are considered an embarrassment.

    Luann is a wanna-be. She aches to be included in true society, but doesn’t have the class, money or connections required. Therefore she makes herself the Queen of the little group assembled for the show and puts herself above all of them in class and breeding, because she will never receive that validation outside the show. In NYC they are all laughed at. I’d love to see someone tell them that.

    I think that LuAnn has a much lower standard for her own behavior than she has for the behavior of others. According to her, it’s okay and appropriate for her to insert herself into the conflicts of others, but it’s not okay for Alex to do the same; LuAnn can be intentionally insulting and rude, but if say, Ramona (who we all know lacks a filter) unintentionally tosses of a comment about LuAnn’s much older [now ex-] husband, or says that modeling isn’t difficult or intellectually challenging, LuAnn gets all bent out of shape and demands apologies. As far as LuAnn is concerned, good manners are all about how she perceives the way others treat her, and have nothing to do with how she treats others.

    Alex would come off much better and probably keep her blood pressure down if she tried one little thing. Stop talking. When she is speaking, as soon as the other person interrupts, she should immediately stop talking and just wait. Keep silent until the other person finally stops and then stay silent even then. Eventually the other person will ask you why you aren’t speaking.

    Alex then could have stated that she was waiting for Lu to finish as since she interrupted her, what she needed to say must be very important. Then she should have asked her if she was finished so Alex could then speak freely.

    Alex should stop speaking again if she is interrupted by Lu and continue to be silent until Lu becomes uncomfortable with the silence.

    This technique does work. People do become uncomfortable and uneasy when you continue to stare at them while remaining quiet.

    The women on this show love nothing more than shouting louder than the other, interrupt and talk over each other and generally act superior. No one will ever get their point across by shouting. Alex should learn this.

    Did anyone else notice that Ms. Platter was wearing the same outfit on WWHL(the greenish blue tunic/white ill fitting slacks)that she was wearing in Morocco?!?!? Who does that “DAAAWWWWLLLLIIINGGG”

    @ohralphie – It’s also full of fiber. So technically, LuAnn fills you up and makes you toot

    The scene with Simon laying on the ground with a basket over his *hips* reminds me of the SNL skit with Justin Timberlake “D**k in a box”

    Hey, did anyone read the article in People Mag online that Jill is now claiming that Mario pushed her while on a buffet line at a friend’s house and now Jill says that Mario was also yelling at her accusing her of trying to ruin Ramona’s reputation. I’m thinking they may have seen the TH’s of Jill accusing the Mona of being an alkie. Jill now says she’ll be traveling with a bodyguard to all events. Wonder where Bawbee was while this was happening??

    Funny recap – I was cackling like a mofo throughout it!

    I need a warning before this show decides to become something you would see on Cinemax or HBO’s “Real Sex” (not the hot episodes, the ones with 60 year old hippies bathing in mud). I really did not need to see all that!!

    Alex – here is how you begin to shut that snotty Cuntess down – she brings up that things are between her and that person, point out to that pretentious heiffa that she is always inserting herself between Jill and whoever Jill is mad at. Remind her that Jill and Ramona are more than capable of sticking up for themselves and do not need a thug in a one shoulder dress to referee things. Or you can just tell her to fuck off and take that manners book with her. And leave singing “elegance is learrrrrned, mah friend!”

    Sorry Sonja – but you vile snottiness this season is not winning you any sympathy from me. I am guessing that tags on clothes means that soome store is getting back some cootchie scented clothes in a few days, but nice try at an excuse. If that is really why you are doing it, you are a head scarf and some cats closer to “Grey Gardens”.

    What the hell was that in Kelly’s kitchen taking pictures? Man, woman, what?

    Cyndy – Sonja cropping you out of pictures…like, really?

    I personally loved the scene where Alex and Rammy were lunching and bitching about Jill and Alex’s mouth was blow-up doll wide open the ENTIRE time. I’m not the hugest fan of LuAnn, but Alex really was at fault during that ridiculous scene she made in Morocco. I kind of can’t deal with her anymore. Much like Sonja, who I don’t feel bad for at all because she does things like confess her heartbreak right about saying she’s getting a facial and we “don’t want to know what it costs.”

    And, oh god, the sex scenes. My retinas will never be the same again.

    @featherhead: Bawwbeee was probably standing there being as useless as tits on a boar hog. Like usual.

    @LAC: The only way to win an argument with a Housewife is to not show up at the contractually obligated lunch. Just leave the other bitch sitting there. Let the producers figure out what to do. Of course, make sure your handbag line/singing career/porn tape Web distribution side business is going strong first…

    And, I didn’t know there WERE hot episodes of Real Sex. Everytime I tune in, it’s octogenarians fucking in wheelchairs; fat Jewish CPAs wearing diapers, or an expose on hentai tentacle porn. Sweet Ganehsa!

    See…it turns out that Sonja has a legitimate excuse for not wearing panties anymore…She can’t afford them!

    I’m also psychologically scarred by all these soft core scenes of the housewives and their “romantic coupling”! I’ve barely recovered from the Tamra and Eddie’s tub dive on OC, when I get Mario and Ramona, and Simon and Alex thrust at me on the same night! To quote BH housewife Taylor at Camille’s infamous dinner party… “Enough! Enough!”

    (And God help me if NeNe has a new man on Atlanta this season. Time to cancel my HD, fo’ sure…)

    Notwithout…LOL!!! Hard to believe, there were a couple of hot ones, involving well endowed male strippers. Well, hot for me, anyway.

    And you are right about not showing up! But, since Alex’s model career is only in its infancy (non-existent) stage, she has no choice.

    Watching LuAnne’s ugly frog trying his “Indian” accent was disgusting. Froggie should try hearing himself first before he pokes fun at other people’s accents. He sounds like Apu from the Simpsons with a ball of pubic hair stuck in his throat, and that pubic hair ain’t LuAnne’s. Oh, and Mario is hot. He SHOULD be banging other chicks instead of old crazy eyes.

    Alex better hope her modeling career is in its pupal stage. Because if something more attractive doesn’t emerge from the cocoon, I think it’s safe to say THAT career path is fucked.

    Really don’t understand how anyone could be on “team LuAnn”. Alex doesn’t belong with these women because she seems to actually care about being friends with them and what they think. The rest of them don’t care about being friends with any of the others and they are only interested in marketing themselves and their trashy jewelry, books, wine, et. al.
    While I don’t really care for any of them, (and actually hate LuAnn), I could imagine having an interesting conversation with Alex. I would avoid being in the same building as LuAnn or Kelly.

    Team Luann. Sorry, if I’m relaxing and some woman steps to me in so-called defense of another grown ass woman, I’d shoo her away, too. Who does that? Especially on Ramona’s behalf…Ramona who has no problem speaking her mind does not need Alex to speak for her. Alex was just being opportunistic and trying to use this as a way for more camera time. It was transparent to everyone (even Kelly!), so I wouldn’t give her the satisfaction and leave just like Luann did.

    Luann wasn’t always mean to Silex. She just never really filmed with them because I don’t think she has any interest in being their friends. I don’t think any of the other ladies really care to be Alex’s friend, now that Bethenny is gone. Could be an age difference..or they just don’t have anything in common, but really..does any of the relationships between Alex and the other ladies seem genuine?

    Oh, I forgot to add that I read Kelly’s blog. Imagine Kelly being astute enough to recognize the details of the Silex romance scene! She pointed out that Simon held Alex’s lingerie in a garment bag…who does that? Someone who is borrowing clothes from a designer showroom, that’s who. Had Simon actually purchased the clothes, they would be in a shopping bag. Whoops! I guess we just peeped Alex’s first modeling job!

    P.S. I hope Alex was wearing a panty liner. Nothing worse than returning garment samples with spooge stains.

    Ramona, being married to a man for 18 years isn’t an accomplishment. Especially if he only gets turned on when you rub his feet.

    I’d rather travel to Tijuana by foot to see Caroline’s donkey show.
