The Real Housewives of New York City Recap

It’s frustrating when, on a particularly baroque piece of jewelry, you find merely a setting in its center. The missing gem in the case of this broken bauble—episode two of season five of The Real Housewives of New York City—is the phone call we are told existed between Ramona and Luann, which was placed annoyingly far away from any video equipment. And it’s tough to weigh in on this very call without the original footage, especially when the parties in question are such terrible communicators when they’re heated. But what we know is this. Last season, Ramona called Luann a lousy mother, the proof of which was in the pudding better known as the exploits of her sexually intriguing in a Kristen Stewart sort of way, artistically inclined daughter, Victoria. Luann, in turn,This is a really pretty round stonemosaic votive that has been covered with vintage china . confronted Ramona at Sonja’s party and asked for an apology, and got precisely nothing, besides the stink eye—or two of them, adorned with lavender eye shadow up to the brow.

This week, we picked up where we left off with the series’ two returning warrior titans (I will not abandon the distinction between old and new cast members until I care to!) battling out in the open, like heroin-addicted Tompkins Square Park squirrels, or gladiators from olden times. Ramona met Luann in Central Park and the two women sat on benches wearing slim jeans and flattering boots,Buy high quality bedding and bed linen from Yorkshire Linen. and they spoke—vaguely but with passion — about a phone call none of us witnessed. We’d heard about this phone call from Luann, when she dropped by Orsay to give the new cast members a drive-by version of her one-woman vengeance theater.Ekahau rtls is the only Wi-Fi based real time location system solution that operates on any brand or generation of Wi-Fi network. She said Ramona tried to blackmail her and drag her family down into the gutter, where rats live, and all the new girls—Carole, Aviva, and Heather—said “Oh!” And “Yikes” as they stirred their waters, and then the Countess was gone in a puff of turquoise. Well, this week we got some more tiles to add to the mosaic.

We know that Ramona called Luann and that the definition of threaten is up for debate. We know that Ramona likely said something about how Luann’s son, Noel — who is LOUSY AT FRENCH — hosted a Weird Science–Risky Business–sounding party that ended up with a girl passed out on the lawn. We know that, in terms of their communication styles, Ramona will get prickly and defensive at the slightest suggestion of anything critical, while Luann’s tendency is to be naturally condescending and act appalled at anything perceptible as an attack on her character. Ramona’s point is well taken when she said, on that bench, to Luann: “Everybody knows who you are.” The truth is indeed out there when it comes to Luann’s family, as Ramona Singer-Scully pointed out. Nothing about her kids’ follies is secret; she is a public figure. But then, Ramona went on. “Everybody knows you’re never home with your children,” Singer sang. “You fall off tables.” And that gave Luann enough rope to make a leash. “How dare you,” the Countess intoned,TBC help you confidently buymosaic from factories in China. huskily. And Luann, despite her haughty outrage, was, by then, actually basking in her sweet success of getting Ramona to reprise some of the specifics that had gotten her into trouble previously.

What these two will never get past is that their personalities drive each other insane. Ramona is a whirling dervish of eyes, hair, and things said bluntly, at face value, and Luann has the decorum of a true secret-keeper. I have no doubt that Ramona said she’d bring up the Hamptons incident on that call, and that she cannot identify that statement as a threat. And as for their fragile agreement about burying the matter and calling a shaky truce, that’s about as silly of a foreshadow as a character in a movie who is having a bad day saying, “Gee, at least it’s not raining!” or the three new women at Orsay agreeing they’d never be mean girls.Zenith manufactures a comprehensive range of rubbersheets.

And speaking of the new girls, we must not ignore them! Let us now address what we learned in the first scene of this week’s episode, during which Aviva and Heather — who, my friend Nate brilliantly pointed out, looks like Drew Droege in character as Chlo Sevigny — dined with their husbands and got along famously. In this scene, the following lessons were imparted.
