DINA,,,,,,,, I JUST LOVE YOU TO DEATH,,,, REMIND ME SO MUCH OF ME....... LOL....... KICK DANIELLE TO THE CURB, SHE IS DEAD WEIGHT......

Hi Dina,
I just wanted to say how AMAZING you are. Ive just started watching the show for the past couple of weeks and I think you and Teresa are just amazing. I love the connection you and your daughter have together and it reminds me so much of me and my mom. I love how tough and motivated you are. And I love how you dont take any crap from anybody! Honestly so many people could learn from you and Teresa. You two are honestly my FAVOURITE people ever! Dont change a thing,

Rosemary

hi i am just starting to watch your show in reruns, and i love it. I think you are all amazing people and very funny. i live in montreal, quebec and i get to new york sometimes but never new jersey. you and your daughter remind me of my daughters and myself although i have a fifteen year old and a twelve year old, both girls. i beleive that if you are true to yourself then no one can do you harm keep up the good work and dont forget blood is indeed thicker than water. love youy guys bye

Hello! Dina I was watching the show where your friend flipped the table last saturday and OMG ladies you are so beautiful to be acting that low you reflect on your faces so much hate against Daniel I hope this is just part of the show because when people spend all the time you girls have spent inquiring about her life and trying to make her look like if she was a terrible person can only be unhappiness in someones life maybe you ladies inside you wish you could have her life. Ladies you'r so beautiful I enjoy watching the show please show more about your wonderful lives and forget about Daniel. PS.I wish we can see your husband next season ...

you are wonderful! can't wait to watch you next season..... i LOVE you and Lexi... you crack me up!!! xoxo, Gina

I run an animal shelter for a city municipality. The city is very low income. In one year, I raised our "out alive rate" for dogs up to 74%! This is fantastic. We are running on a very low budget and we are not allowed to ask for donations because we are a municipality. However, we can accept donations. You have shown your love for animals. What have you done to support shelters and animal enforcement units? I donate a large portion of my small salary. What have your children done for the animals? My 11 year old daughter volunteers about 20 hours per week during the school year and about 40 hours per week during school breaks.

Dina - I love your show - it's so entertaining! What shade of lipstick were you wearing on the reunion shows? Thanks!

Dina i absolutly love you and caroline and teresa. You 3 should do the show next seasson . AS for Lexi , all i can say is wow she really is a great girl and i would hope she would be on the seasons to come I would love to wach her grow into a great adult. I truly love love love hw of nj.

You are the best..........but, you need to start fighting your own battles. Almost every word out of your sisters mouth is ridiculous. She "dislikes people before she decides whether to like them or not". What is that? Also, her "bring it on" comment made everyone I know sick. Who does she think she is?

Dina, it's easy to forgive and forget things that happen with family. Now, try to have some compassion for a non-family member. Get rid of the family click and the show will be so much better. Caroline has become a bully.
Also, there is no way it is ok for anyone to flip a table out of anger. Let's hope that Theresa's little girls don't get her mad. (like refusing to wear lip gloss). When she talked about getting a boob job in front of the girls, that was it for me.

Dina, be true to yourself and give Danielle a break...I really believe she needs one. Don't be afraid of what Caroline will say. She's not God.

I have been a fan of all of the Real Housewife shows. But yours is the best! I admire and respect Caroline. She is what every sister should be!

Hi Dina,

I just want to say that you all are fantastic. I have love, love, loved watching this show. I am warmed by how close and real you and your family are. It is such a pleasure to watch how you all love each other. Of course the drama has been fabulous as well.

Kudos to you for your amazing charity work. My best friend has cancer and it is so awful to have her go through so much. Her two small daughters giver her courage and make the rest of us brave. I was wondering how you started up your charity?

Please take care and I hope that there is a season two coming!

Sincerely,
Sydney

dina you are a badass! you are my all time favorite person. if i could meet anyone it wouls be you by far!!

Hi Dina I loved, loved, loved the show. I wathced the real house wives series before this one and thought that it was good but many of the people seemed a little faky. I would say that you guys were not faky at all. I do not think you're a bitch, but I can definately see that you do not have time nor do want to make time for nonsense. There must have been a lot of things that went on behind the scenes between you and Danielle, and I think it is good that you're taking the high road and saying lets move on. Caroline is an amazing woman, very strong and loving, and protective of her family and herself. Nothing wrong with that, we all should be more protective of our loved ones and of our selves. Teresa was a hoot. What an amazing woman, funny, beautiful, and a very loving mom and wife. Her husband seemed to be very real too, I loved it when he said "what do I care, happy wife, happy life." I wish more men would get that. I just want my husband to clean out the garage. Jacqueline seems to be a very sweet woman also, has her hands full with Ashley, but I think she is just your typical teenager. Now as for Danielle, the DRAMA QUEEN, wow, not real impresses with her. I understand she had a hard life and that is very unfortuante, but we choose how we live our adult lives and what we teach our children. I don't think she is a bad mom but I do think she may give them a little too much information that they may not be quite ready to handle. I am all for being friends with your kids, but there is a fine line that you don't want to croos. They need to know that you're stll the parent, and they truly want to know that you have things under control.
Any how I just wanted to say that I thought the show was great and you ladies did a fine job. It was fun to watch, thanks for putting yourself out there like that.
Deb

you are so beautifuland elegant!!!!!!

I had no idea what all the fuss was when my friends asked if I watched the Housewives of N.J. Didn't know what they were speaking of even tho I am a reality show junkie. I began to watch and found I can't get enough of you! I love your show and can't wait til next season. May I invite all of you to be my friend on FaceBook? It's free and fun. People from 30 yrs. ago are sending greetings after finding me. Email me back. God Bless all you beautiful women. I envy your large, close family! You should adopt me...I am an only child but have 4 grown kids and 7 grandkids. Take care, all and keep well! Love, ~ Grainee Ellman ~

Dina...First of all hello. I have recently gotten into the show by watching re runs on weekends. I have to say, the drama and excitement pulled me in right away. I lived in NJ for 15 years and would have loved to be your friend. You are truly a beautiful person and your cat is very amazing. Love, love, love!!! I look forward to the up coming season and all the drama. Have a beautiful summer!

My husband and I both love the show! You and your sis and Teresa are our favs! Hope you and the fam get it all worked out! As for Danielle....can they take her off the show? Just watch the looks she gives yall! My take on her is she is vicious and vindictive not the type of person you could ever trust. She needs to be a mom not a self centered skeez. Kick her butt!!! Better yet let Caroline's dogs at her! Go Jersery! From A Dallas area housewife!

Dina- My friends, family, and I feel like you are so classy and an exotic beauty, and your family is highly entertaining to watch. I would have never dreamed that "Jersey Housewives" would be my favorite!! You and Caroline stay true to yourselves, because the rest of us see all the RED FLAGS, when we watch Danielle, just creepy. Give my love to the rest of the "family", cant wait for the next season!! Liz

Dina, I admire the close relationship you and Caroline have.
My sister and I have never been close and we seldom speak unless we have to.

dina you are the besttttttt! my gosh if i ever admired anyone on a show its you! i could never hold it together like you did!!!!!! ugh if i was talking to daniele or w.e her name is i would rip her apart! you are something else!

Dina,

I just want to say I totally admire you and you are definitley on my list of women to watch. You are so ladylike, beautiful, classy while still remaining down to earth. Your choice to stay at home with your wonderful daughter was an admirable one, although I must say I was looking forward to seeing some of the events you design.

As an up-and-comming lifestyle guru, I look up to you and hope my career can blossom like your's and that I am successful enough to be able to put my child first one day when I have one!

Bringing that book and bringing that drama to the family dinner was so tacky and I could tell you were OVER IT! I am the same way in that when the drama means nothing to me, it is pointless to argue with someone like Danielle, shes crazy! I would have just left as well, I could see you were ready to go, I dont blame you one bit!

I will be checking your website from time to time to see if you have a pretty party dress for me one day, I do love the white croc bag though...

Love,

Chloe Doll

Dina,
Just wanted to let you know that I'm right with you. I took one look at Danielle and knew that she was no good. It's one thing to want to be honest with your kids, quite another to expose them to things that are harmful at such young ages. Just the looks on their faces when she was showing them the pictures of herself should have told her that they were not even close to being ready for that level of 'honesty'. Let alone bringing out that book and starting a horrible fight at a nice, family dinner right in front of them. I truly hope that someone from Child Protective Services is watching this show. Anyway, I wanted to make sure that you got to see this:

It's hard to lie when there are court documents out there.
Take care, Lori

I think you like a little drama yourself. I think you were upset because Danielle called you out for what you did in regards to the book. Its okay if you don't like her and she doesn't like you. However, you have no right to say who your sister-in-law can be friends with or not.

Dina

I'm wondering what was the beef between Danielle and you. I think maybe I missed some footage because from the start you didn't like her. I don't feel as if everything was Danielle's fault. I need for you to own up to your part. You keep saying she wasn't a good mother but all of you at the dinner table was previously talking about sex and how Theresa's husband wanted and then when the book issue came up you all got concerned about the children. I think that was a little hypocritical myself.

If you and Caroline as so "thick as theives", why did you not just admit that you exposed the book around town? You lied about the book! That is a behavior I do not condone. I would have respected your "mafia sister" Caroline and you a lot more if it was real. Do not play hard if you are not. Hide behind BIG sister some more! Keep it real, gangsta girls! LOL!!!

Dina....You Go Girl! Continue to be the class act and sophisticated woman that you are! I believe you when you stated that you did not have the book or show the book around town. You are so correct....Danielle needs prayer! Just continue to pray for her because she has some unresolved issues in her life, and unfortunately she is taking those issues out on you. I'm just looking forward to the reunion show to see the outcome of the relationships. I am definitely looking foward to season 2! Take note Bravo Producers, the fans are looking foward to season 2!:) Blessings to you Dina!:)

Did you ever think of telling your sister to "put the book" away in the Salon. Although I have to say you did admit to enjoying some of the action in the last episode. So..I do give you credit for that. I think you and Caroline should take a 50/50 part of the "salon" incident. Just because she carried the book in does not absolve you.
Good luck with everything else...you seem like a great gal!

Dina, you are the epitome of a hypocrite! There you are sitting on camera, after the tableflip, going on about how inconsiderate and irresponsible it was of Danielle to not consider the childrens' welfare while arguing at the dinner in the restaurant and how could be so careless as to speak in front of them, ALTHOUGH DID DINA EVER ONCE TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION THE ABSOLUTE HORROR DANIELLE'S DAUGHTERS WOULD HAVE TO GO THROUGH AS A RESULT OF DINA'S GOSSIPING ABOUT, AND BRINGING AROUND TOWN, THAT BOOK FROM OVER 20 YEARS AGO ABOUT DANIELLE! The only reason Dina confessed to having started the rumours at the end of the dinner was because Jacqueline finally told the TRUTH about Dina's having been the instigator in finding the book info on the computer, then somehow Caroline finds it necessary to scramble to the library and have the book on her lap in her truck in front of the salon?! Anyone showing any respect for the Manzo women after them having to admit how underhanded, deceitful and dishonest they'd been all along, should take a good look at their own lives and to, hopefully, learn that, no matter what kind of trouble one is contemplating causing others' lives, CHILDREN SHOULD NEVER HAVE TO BE SUBJECTED TO THAT KIND OF DISGUSTING BEHAVIOR. These woman say they're good mothers; I wholeheartedly disagree. Karma is about to come back to these women and make them wish they'd never opened that can of worms. Shame on Caroline, Dina and Teresa. They are an example of how women should NEVER BEHAVE, EVER.

It was soooo sad that you did not admit to what you had done....you had you big sis taking all the blame....tell the truth....just like my mother said to me...the truth will set you free...better yet just mind your buisness...and worry about your own family...

I love you and your sister, so much like my Family I truly identify with you all and we are one hot Irish Family! You both showed a lot of class in the final episode and Danielle was so CLASSLESS! LOL

What I don't understand is everyone has said this was a family party ... then why was DRAMA QUEEN there ? Family is when you know people for a long time and or have a blood line. She is not family and will never be. I am glad that everthing is good between all the sisters the 4 of you. Was Drama Queen fun watch you bet your butt. But some of the stuff she said was rude and worried about what the town thought. What town would that be the one she lives in or the one she wants to live in . She can stay in the town she's in we don't need her in Franklin lakes !!

It was Danielle's choice to go dig out an out-of-print book? No it was not. You and your sister made the book a part of the show and there is no denying it. Remember, you are on a not so candid camera.

Dina starts her I'm so innocent story with "So, where do I begin with this hot mess?" well Ms dina the hot mess usually start with the person you see in the mirror. Bravo Danielle for standing up for yourself. Hummmmmmmm Dina you should try it and give Carolina a rest once in a while.

Mrs.Dina,
I was really pissed about that finale but not at you at danielle. She was completely out of line! You mam reacted way more classier than I would have. I for one think you are a very beautiful woman. I can only hope to have half a heart of giving as you do. Best of luck to you and your family. Ya'll are a blast!

Lexi is so funny! I was laughing out loud when she was pulling all those stuffed animals out from under her bed and then she sneezed and hit her head! Hope it didn't leave a bump. Then when she goes, "I have to show you something." All serious. And it's a drawer FULL of candy!! So hilarious! Thanks for the laughs! Dina, you seem like a great mom and Lexi is a great kid!

you are so freakin funny! who says "what does she want to skin me and wear me like last years versace" good stuff, can't wait for season 2

I'm an Italian girl from New Jersey and what can I say about the table flip, hey were intense women, please don't hate us. There's kindness, passion and love for family and friends on the flip side of that rage. As for Ms. Frankel's comment, here's comes my Jersey, where does she get the nerve to attack you in any way shape or form when on her show she was the second head case next to Kelly on her lack of family and relationships. She herself goes through more men and issues than we need to hear about. E! has a nerve to have her comment on you guys when she herself has a weird past and present and doesn't know much about what it is to be in a close family. Hope your back for season 2.

Hi Dina, I just blogged your sister Caroline and asked her if she wanted another sister or an older daughter!!Wishful hoping!! Anyway I love you also and,I love how you stay so calm when the rumors are flying.Its all jealousy on Danielles part she is a poisoness person and, needs god in her life.I feel badly for her girls.I just watched the clip again when she pulls out "THE BOOK" and she does NOT look nervous or scared AT ALL.She just looks around at everyone in a very cocky way sipping her wine waiting to see who dares to speak first! Its actually a creepy,evil,criminal look!!!If someone wrote a book about me that were full of lies "and these arent your everyday type of lie" I would have found an attourney and sued the pants off of him. On the other hand if its true "which" IN MY opinion after watching her,I believe most of it and, I think she is getting a cut from sales of THE BOOK.She has said on tv how broke she is and I believe she would do anything for money.So the story goes if it doesnt make sense, its a lie, and she makes no sense!! Judge Judy says it all the time on her show.Enough of her Ive given her too much of my thought process.I cant wait for next season hopefully minus one I just want to say your beautiful and keep up the good work. Luv Cindy FROM: California

Dina,
I am totally on your side. I think it was very immature of Danielle to bring that book to the dinner. I am only 13, but I love the show, and i think you are telling the truth about the book. Danielle deffinetly loves to bring the drama. Well I can' wait to see what goes down at the reunion. Good luck with everything.
- Big fan

Dina,
You are by far my favorite housewive to watch. You are so real and awesome!
Danielle is obviously jealous of you, but watch out that she doesn't skin you and wear you like last year's Versace! :)
Keep true to yourself.

Dina
You are my favorite! That's all I have to say.

Dina:
I love your style. Loved your wedding, best I've ever seen on TV! Don't be so snippy. Class is more subtle and more quiet. It may not make for good TV, but your portrayal will shine. Why no Tommy??? Has he been a good boy?

We love you and your sister & teresa!! And danielle was soo rude to bring that book out at her dinner party...she acts like that was the only place she could have brought up the book. Kudos to teresa for flippin out on her. Danielle seems like nothing but drama && even her kids dont seem to care what she has to say. I dont blame ya'll for not wanting to hang out with her. And I agree...blood is thicker than water. Jacqueline was an instigator trying to talk to Danille about the book situation && the whole time she knew what really happened. Boo on her. Snitches get stitches, point blank. We hate that the season is over...hope to see more from ya'll!

I was glad to see you quit work and spend time with your daughter. They grow and gone too fast and believe it not, there really is time in our life to do everything its just not all at once!

Danielle's past is her past and it will always sneak up and bite her in the you know what and she has not business fighting with people cause they found and are discussing it--free country we have that right to say what we want and when we want.

Teresa was too funny...Danielle was nasty to her and talked to her like a child. Danielle is trouble and will cause trouble with everyone and won't be happy unless she has eveyone fighting and mad.

You were the smartest to keep away from her to begin with. How did get on this show!!

Hi Dina,
I've seen you wear beaded cross necklaces. Some looked like beads and another one looked like gemstones. Is there a website? Very cute. Thanks

Dina, bravo to you on class, raising your beautiful daughter and family loyalty! Danielle needs to leave you alone and try to make friends elsewhere.

This whole time you've been ranting and raving about
your dislike for Danielle...she confronts you and you're silent. Why? How many times did you get up and almost leave? For what..or better yet, why didn't you? The title of your blog is appropriate....maybe your karma is what put you there.

It was oh so obvious that Caroline tried (unsuccessfully) to make viewers believe that she was the one responsible for outing Danielle when anyone with half a brain knows otherwise. Your assertions that 'you never had the book in your hands' doesn't mean you weren't just as guilty as Big Sis in stirring up that mess. For whatever reason you are the one obsessed with Danielle, not vice versa as you would have us believe.

I see you added where you got your dress and necklace from but where is the ring from?
