This week, on RH-NYC.


So, it's no secret that I am obsessed with RH-NYC. There is always so much I can say about the antics of my six sassy socialites.


This week's episode was more interesting than last week's episode (though nothing, NOTHING, could compete with Kelly's "jog" last week).


Let's start with LuAnn, our favorite countess. Victoria misses Rosie because she isn't used to doing things for herself...like hanging up her coat and getting a glass of water. Yes, you heard me. Sadly, that was about as interesting as they got this week. Except for the fact that The Countess decided to dress up as Pochahontas for Halloween. Because, you know, she is part American Indian. You know, the part that isn't White Trash.


Jill Zarin. Love. Her. Though her BBC radio interview was...vapid. They ask her about the economy and she says she's felt it because benefactors aren't donating to her charity. Really? That proves the economy is bad? How about people not having jobs? And losing their houses? Oh, you don't know about that because you're too busy overseeing Gay Husband Brad redecorate your apartment (it has been seven years, after all) and carrying around your $16K new [hideous] bag. Thank goodness she redeemed herself by saying she's elevator friendly.


Kelly. Kelly, Kelly, Kelly. "Taking pictures is really...it's not easy at all." Ugh. Kelly. Kelly, Kelly, Kelly. "Are my legs open or crossed?" Seriously? And her idea to have herself be the "A" on her Halloween invitation? Brilliant. She overestimates the indiocy of her friends. I took a little bit of secret pleasure in the fact that her party, the one that she was two hours late for, was a disaster. What kind of person throws a party with a cash bar, btw? Certainly the proceeds weren't going to charity, since we know Kelly doesn't like to be associated with anything.


Alex and Simon (because he is an honorary housewife). So. Much. To. Say. A feedbag corset, Simon? A feedbag corset??? Did Alex really need to simulate a metal detector in searching for her surprise and vocalize the "deet deet deet deet deet" as she approached the corset? As if it were a treasure? Ugh. Beautiful, Alex, is not the word for it. Not every husband would pick that out for his wife, Alex, because not every husband is a couture loving boy lover like yours is. The best part is when Alex says that she really wants to wear the corset in "as public a place as possible" as if national television and a cult following isn't public enough. And the whole Halloween scene...wow. Children? With knives? You Van Kampens better get that parenting book published, stat! PS, guys, your whole "Brooklyn is so much better than Manhattan for raising kids" speech is obviously your veiled attempt for trying to justify why you live there and not in the city with all of your cronies. There's nothing wrong with Brooklyn, stop trying to make excuses. And you didn't look like Sara Palin, Alex. But thank you, Simon, for wearing a full body moose costume.


Ramona. For once, I don't have much to say about her, other than she was her usual gesticulating, high on something self. Did love how Avery was so critical of Ramona's pregnant pauses, though.


Bethenny. Not enough of her this episode. Some one-liners would've made the rest of this a bit more palpable. Bethenny's big scenes this week were with Jill, while they checked out the benefit site and planned the menu. Boring. However, her rant about Kelly thinking she's Gisele and thinking she's fabulosity was pretty Awesome. Roller Girl doesn't care!
