Marry rich and you can live like the women of the "The Real Housewives." Over the past few years, I must admit, this show has become my guilty pleasure. While I'm from NYC I unfortunately can't say I can relate to any of the women on this seasons installment of Bravo's the Real Desperate Housewives of New York City. One thing I am thankful for is that I don't (or at least I hope, have an accent like Jill Zarin's, one of the members of this season's cast of characters.) I became hooked on the series freshman year when too much caffeine and excess amount of time on my hands allowed me to stay up all night watching a better part of the first season of the show. The first season focused on the women of Orange County who all live in a development of mansions known as Coto de Caza. Some of them work, while others live off their husbands money, either way they are equally wealthy a all lead extravagant lives.
When they're not gossiping about each other or pretending to be friends they're typically seen dining out, going on vacation and of course relaxing at the spa, because their lives are oh so stressful. The same theme of activites hold true for the women of both coasts. The ladies of NYC can be seen jaunting off to the Hamptons and the women of the OC stay at the most lavish hotels in Las Vegas.
As I mentioned some of the women married rich which is how they found themselves living the lavish lifestyle they do, while others have made their fortune selling insurance or real estate. What bothers me about these women is they all consider themselves to have 'class' simply because they have money. But the majority of the faux blonde, fake breasted women of the OC all engage in activities that are far from classy and often downright mean.
On a recent episode of the Real OC Housewives one of the women, Tamra, the self described "hottest housewife," plotted to get one of the other women "naked wasted" (not so sure what that entails). Basically she forced tequila shots down her throat to get her so drunk that she embarrassed herself in front of everyone, many of whom she had just met. Tamra has a personal vendetta against Gretchen, who she fears may take over the reign of "hottest housewife," as she is younger, spunkier and new to the crowd--clearly this is evidence of "classy" behavior.
Jill of NYC, has an accent something similar to the sounds of a sweet combination of Long Island, the Bronx and straight up loud and obnoxious. Unfortunately on a recent episode she realized how detrimental opening up her big mouth can be in NYC; she bashed one of the other women's husbands and it just so happened to be printed in the NY Post. Nevertheless I still manage to find myself setting my TIVO to tape the ridiculousness of this show each week-whose latest installment included a one year birthday party for one of the women's dogs-which was sadly nicer than my sweet 16. Check out the drama for yourself every Tuesday night at 10 on Bravo.
