Ramoner was in my 'hood and didn't ask me to join her for some pinot?

I'm crushed.

I think Avery could very well be quite smart.

I was done too. Just couldn't stomach one more minute of Jill and her gang mentality.

Bravo, for once, called this exactly right. I'm back. I hope the new women are interesting. I kind of want to see Sonja show more of her ass too, that article about her was pretty damn revealing. I've always liked her, but now I am wondering if she could be the biggest bitch of them all. Maybe... At least she seems to do it on her own though, and not rope others in to fight her wars.

I also might be able to stomach Lulu now. No fucking Jill using her as a puppet. No fake marriage to hide. I'm kind of hoping she drops her ridiculous "manners" crap, since she has no clue about them, and just lets her freak flag fly a bit. I want to see the Lulu that pinches strange men's butts, falls down from partying too hard, and uses her own intuition about the show instead of someone else's. The poor kid from nowhere who made good and is now kind of broke again is a much more interesting woman than what we have seen. I like the Lulu from the early Gawker recaps MUCH more!

Lulu just tweeted that they come back on June 4th. I really think this season will be great.

Did you see the preview? It looks good! Did you see Ramona in the arms of topless Sonja in the pool? It just struck me as funny; remembering about Avery allegedly saying she didn't want Ramona in the Countess' "sexual" video. Sonja and Ramona look batshit cray-cray in the clips they showed.

I didn't see the preview but batshit cray-cray is how I love my Ramona. Despite how awful I thought last season was - and particularly the reunion - that damn Andy has me planning to tune in again. But he better get rid of Traylor before BH or I'm going to have to break up with him for real.

I love the clip. Ramona and Sonja look drunk the entire time.

Luann is talking about having a baby? Please. Enough with these stupid HWs and thinking they are pregnant.

The new ones love red lipstick on their hollowed out, too skinny faces.

I don't know who the blonde at the end is, but she called it when she said that both Ramona and Sonja are white trash.

Yeah, that article about Sonja seemed so legit to me, I often talk gossip about any of them with a huge grain of salt, but she sounded like a complete bitch, and it reminded me of that whole thing with the gay marriage parade and her taking over, having to be the "star" and mumbling some stupid speech that meant nothing while screaming "MY gays!"

HER gays? Kathy Griffin call pull that off lady, at one time GaGa could, Cher or Bette Midler? Anytime. YOU? Yeah um no.

In the preview, did Ramona really ask Aviva, the amputee, if she had fake toes on her false leg? Good grief.

Agree, Finestra, Luann having a baby is a big stretch. Actually I cannot believe she would want a baby. She seems perfectly happy with her teenaged kids being independent (for better or worse). I always got the feeling she wanted to get her own groove on, more than being a focused or involved parent.

Ramona and Sonja deserve to be called out for being trashy drunks. I don't like the term "white trash" but I don't care that Aviva used it. Good for her.

Ha! Yep. That's the Ramonster I love. Sheesh. And not only did Ramona and Sonja look drunk the entire clip but they were bombed during Andy's All Star show too. It was definitely Turtle Time for Ramona. I can't wait.

On these women thinking they are pregnant when they start missing a period, as ridiculous as it sounds one of best friends did the same thing. At age 46 she skipped two periods and ran out to buy half a dozen pregnancy tests. I was laughing inside the entire time she was basically reliving the panicked conversations we had in our twenties [we've been friends since college] over pregnancy scares.

I agree Freely, Lulu's interest in all things maternal seems to be scarce these past couple years. C'est la vie.

The previews make Carole and Aviva seem a hell of a lot sharper than Ramonster and Sonja, whether the latter are wasted or not. (Ramona has built her business, I know, but she's so ignorant and low-rent).

I really hate Ramona and that it seems like she'll never get even a fraction of the meanness she spews flung back at her, but maybe she'll start to get hers this season...

Story in the New York Post this AM about Aviva Drescher. She makes disparaging remarks about previous housewives. Makes me wonder how she'll get along with Ramoner. It's nice to see that the new ones don't seem to be grovelling for approval from the old ones. I don't think Cindy Barshop was either, but her personality was not strong enough.

No typical ‘Housewife’
By LINDA STASI

Last Updated: 2:32 AM, May 21, 2012

Posted: 10:32 PM, May 20, 2012

Finally, “The Real Housewives of New York,” the show that launched such desperate media hounds as Jill Whazzernmae, Ramona MILF and Bethenny Loud, has decided after too many seasons of sickening to do something decent.

The newest “Housewife,” Aviva Drescher, 38, is not just another typical wealthy Upper East Side richie with the requisite long blond hair and long legs. Definitely not.

For starters, Drescher only has one leg — she lost the other when she was 6 years old in a farming accident while visiting a friend upstate.

That would stop a lot of young girls from pursuing a full life. Not Drescher.

In fact, she’s a twice-married lawyer and mom of four.

In fact, in as typical a Manhattan story as it gets, she met husband, Reid Drescher at, yes, Bed Bath and Beyond. Both were hauling around toddlers as they re-stocked home supplies after difficult divorces.

“The kids started playing with each other, and he said, ‘It’s tough being a single dad,’ ” says Drescher.

“Was he hitting on you?” I asked. She laughed, which she does a lot. “Yes, I think so. Let’s say we took the ‘beyond’ to another level.” No kidding. They now have two more children together.

OK, so I asked the gorgeous, nearly six-footer, the hard question: “How did you tell him — or any guy you dated — that you are an amputee?”

“When I first started dating at Fieldston [her high school],” she said, “everybody knew about it — so it was not a big deal.

“But in law school, it was different.

“People are sexually attracted to each other, and after a date or two I’d have to tell them.

“It’s a great way to weed out the ones who shouldn’t have been with me. It was almost a protection from the bad ones out there.

“I’ve had guys say, ‘That’s so cool! Let me touch it!’ ”

Law is on hold for Drescher and working with amputees is her passion. An exciting night for her is dinner at home with Reid and the kids. Period.

Why is such a rare bird getting down in the “Real Housewives” mud?

Her honesty is astonishing.

“I was embarrassed by my castmates [from earlier seasons]. Very embarrassed. They have been social climbers. I was born and bred here. I don’t think my predecessors have done a good job of representing Upper East Side moms. I weighed it all very, very carefully.”

Finally, after some sleepless nights, her conscience won out.

“If I can take the silliness of the show and use it to get a message out to other amputees particularly young girls — yup, I’ll take it.

“I hope to bring some dignity to it. There may be teenagers missing limbs or who have other physical limitations and see this silly blonde on TV and then realize, ‘Wait, that woman’s an amputee with a family. She’s a lawyer. I can do that.’ When I was that age, I didn’t think I could ever get married.”

Now she has three legs — one real, two artificial. One’s for flat shoes and one’s for heels.

On the show, she brings the extra leg when she gets a pedicure. Colors have to match. Love that.

“Last week, I told my 10-year-old son: ‘A lot of people don’t like this show. It’s very possible your friends will make fun of you, but I want people to understand people who have a ‘special leg.’ That’s what we call it.”

In not so many words, he answered “Screw ’em.”

As it turns out? The only real “Real Housewife of New York,” so far is the one with the artificial leg!

Um, well I guess that's her story and she's sticking to it. Let's see how the season plays out to see if she brings dignity back to the UES.

How long do we have to wait before we can start making fun of her? (Hell: Handbasket)
