Real Housewives of NYC Recap

In the second show, Ramona is still talking about Ramona's hair. This is not like when Linda Evangelista went short in the late 80s - get over it Ramona. On the first show, Ramona remarked that with her new hair she looked like Cameron Diaz. Alex must have overheard this and told her husband, Simon, because at a dinner party Simon tells Ramona that she looks like Cameron Diaz. Alex has a hard time keeping a straight face, but Simon executes this beautifully. This is why we love Simon.

Bethany's boyfriend must be easily confused because he tells Bethany that she is complicated. That weave is complicated. Otherwise, she seems about as complicated as sugar free bubbly water - if you think about it, its kind of strange that there are little bubbles in there, but its not really something you need to consider any further.

LuAnn lost her housekeeper to the Count during the divorce, but she tells us that the housekeeper still comes over because the two of them are confidants and tell each other everything. The housekeeper does not get a word in edgewise.

Kelly has a great big really important secret to tell a few select people at LuAnn's BBQ. LuAnn asks if it can wait until after dinner, but Kelly assures her that it cannot. LuAnn speculates to the camera that perhaps Kelly has been arrested again. Is someone ill? Has someone been arrested? Oh what is this supersecret really important message?! Finally, Kelly spills the beans - she is going to pose for Playboy. LuAnn, not to be outdone, runs and gets her modeling book.

Kelly only wants to share her super special secret with a few people and a million BravoTV watchers so she wonders out loud during the BBQ whether she or Jill should tell Jill's husband about the Playboy shoot. Kelly ends up telling Jill's husband, who then proceeds to tell Kelly that he has a collection of Playboy magazines. Kelly postulates to the camera that the thought of Jill's husband looking at her in that way is kind of creepy. I know that I concluded that Kelly was the mental giant in the the last update, but you have to wonder what she thought posing for Playboy was going to mean if not the fact that slimey old guys were going to ogle her.
