Luann de Lesseps: Her Apology Was Typical Ramona
After my experience in Florida, I can assure you that there is a huge difference between a spa like the Mayflower and rehab! Carole Radziwill thinks it would be “heaven” to stay in a facility for 28 days talking it out, yet if I had to choose, I’d pick the spa every time!!! → Read More
Luann de Lesseps: Would You Pick a Party Over Your Friend?
This week, I’m going to remind everyone what the #GirlCode means. Do you think it was OK for Ramona to try to score an invite to Tom’s New Year’s Eve party in Palm Beach? Would you pick a party over your friend? Ramona doesn’t see a problem with what she did, although she apologized like she always does (100% insincere). Not only was holding this party tacky, insensitive, and disrespectful on… → Read More
Luann de Lesseps: I Feel Like I Don’t Have to Go Through This Alone
You really know who your true friends are when you are going through a rough time. The girls reached out to me after my arrest in various ways, from texts to phone calls, and I appreciated everything they did to make me feel better. Even now, I grapple with understanding exactly what happened. As Bethenny said, “Nothing good happens after midnight.” Amen. → Read More
Luann de Lesseps: Talk About Writing a New Story!
This year, our trip to the Berkshires ended on a good note oddly enough. Dorinda’s house was ship-shape when we left and we all were looking forward to the holidays with friends and family. She definitely “made it nice” for us, and we appreciated her hospitality. Sometimes a hostess has to get the party started and Dorinda’s cake in the face was just what we needed to lighten the mood! So glad… → Read More
Luann D'Agostino: Mexico Was Full of Make-Ups and Make-Outs
Our trip to Mexico had it all: falling down, making out, and making up! The ladies love their tequila and the highlight of our trip was the visit to see how it’s made. We began drinking right after we left the helicopters... and we had a glass in our hands ALL day! It’s not surprising that things got a little crazy after we got back to the villa. Sonja hardly drinks anymore, but when she does,… → Read More
Luann D'Agostino: Instead of Fighting It, I Let Sonja Have a Little Smooch
It takes more than a little hangover to stop me from working out on a beautiful Mexican morning! In fact, yoga with Dorinda was just what the doctor ordered after falling into a bush... and emerging without a scratch! When Bethenny offered a surfing lesson to us, I figured, why not? I’m always up for anything, and I felt so much better after being in the ocean. They say Vitamin Sea is the best… → Read More
Luann D'Agostino: I Guess My Legendary Hollow Leg Was Full That Night
What a fabulous villa Bethenny found for our trip to Mexico! It was one the loveliest properties we’ve stayed in together. I thought the room raffle was a fun and fair way to decide who got which room. Of course, as soon as Ramona and Sonja left the car, it was “run for rooms, Mexico.” Even after the lottery, Ramona and Sonja still put up a fuss about their rooms. → Read More
Luann D'Agostino: I Think It’s Healthy to Be Friends With Exes
This episode had me thinking about what makes a house a home with Tinsley still at Sonja's trying to figure out where in NYC she wants to live. She seems overwhelmed with having to decide on an apartment, but at least she’s trying. Ramona's very attached to her NYC apartment, and instead of moving after her divorce, she decided to renovate. → Read More
Luann D'Agostino: Being Married to Tom is Like Finding Home Again
You never know when or where you’ll find love. In this episode, Tom and I tied the knot in Palm Beach surrounded by our family and friends. Our wedding was magical and being married to Tom is like finding home again. When he wakes up, he reaches for me. When he plays, we play together! Tom makes me feel loved and whole, and I’m so grateful we found each other. Our day went off without a hitch,… → Read More
Luann D'Agostino: Ramona Tipped Dorinda Over the Edge
After this year’s Berkshires birthday weekend, Dorinda Medley may not invite some of us back. She says herself that she has a very high tolerance for unruly guests, but I think the way Ramona Singertreated her home tipped Dorinda over the edge. Remember last week when Dorinda’s house filled with smoke because the girls started a fire in a non-working fireplace? She took that in stride. Then… → Read More
Luann D'Agostino: The Girls Can’t Seem to Let Go of Their Obsession With Tom
More drama in Berkshires! What should have been a relaxing girls' getaway to celebrate Dorinda’s birthday and the holidays somehow turned into relationship intervention. Don’t these women have anything else to talk about besides my upcoming nuptials? I am two weeks away from walking down the aisle, and the girls can’t seem to let go of their obsession with Tom. Also, if the girls had texts… → Read More
Luann D'Agostino: This Is Exactly Why She Wasn't on the Guest List
When Tom asked me to marry him, one of my first decisions after saying “yes” was to choose a designer to make my wedding dress. I’ve been friends with Randi Rahm for years and have worn her designs to many events, so I knew that she would collaborate with me to create a beautiful and elegant wedding dress…and she did! I was so happy that my bridesmaids could be with me for the dress reveal, and… → Read More
Luann D'Agostino: I Was More Focused on Love Than Politics
I’d much rather go to a surprise birthday party than an election party! Emotions ran high during last November’s election, and I was glad when it was over. With my wedding only six weeks away, I was much more focused on love than politics. Tom and I had a few friends over to watch the results, and then I turned my focus back to wedding planning. Much more fun! → Read More
Luann D'Agostino: Sonja's Loose Lips Have Gotten Her in Hot Water
With friendships, I believe that it’s OK to let some stuff slide, but if something is really bothering me, I try to talk it out. Dorinda is the same way. She wants to say her piece and then move on. → Read More
