Whirlwind Season

Ramona reflects on a season of ups and downs (and catfights!)

May 29, 2009

Well it has been a whirlwind of a season, and I for one am exhausted. I knew the show's first season would be BIG, but nothing prepared me for season two. the show took on a life of its own. I really enjoyed filming with Jill, Bethenny, and LuAnn. We may have our ups and downs, and of course squabbles, but it would be boring if we did not.

People always ask me if what goes on between us on the show is real. Trust me, no one could make this craziness up, that is why it is so good! We are all looking forward to a few relaxing months, well needed and well deserved. Thanks for being such loyal viewers.

I thought Avery and Coco were adorable at the Paws for Style fashion show. I will be doing it again this year and I'll be dressed by the same designer, Rebecca Taylor. It was actually relaxing to watch the show tonight. My stomach did not turn once, as it has the past two shows. I really got a kick out of watching myself in the office dealing with my vendor Seymour. I must say I do love doing business.

Love you Ramona...I would love to work for you!

Aloha Ramona! You've started to use some kindness with your sword swinging! Well done! You're acting less and less like your father. You were not so emotionally swindled by your circumstances as you previously were in past episodes.

If you begin to practice the kind of wonderful, positive energy exuding from you when you spoke of the summer and your daughter, you and your world would be lifted up to the newness level you are truly seeking. When you're in tough situations that tax your dignity and level of consciousness you are striving for, think of your daughter. Use that energy in a powerful way, spread it into the difficult parts of your life. Use your mind to structure your continually renewing reality. Soon it will lift you higher and higher.

This newness I speak of looks like this: When you saw Alex on the runway, your first two comments were negative. You finally said she looked beautiful. Drop the unnecessary negativity. Lead these young people that watch you to higher levels of integrity, Ramona. Make your daughter just as proud of you as you are of her. It starts with you.

Ramona, I have to say the first 2 season you drove me absolutely NUTS! But you have really "grown" on my this past season and I personally LOVED the whole "renewal" thing you had going on. Your loyalty to Alex and Bethanny - especially during the reunion shows was admirable. Do yourself a favor -- back away from Jill -- she is becoming TOXIC and frankly, I enjoy you more when your in "Turtle Time".

I missed the show that aired about your under arms. What is the procedure called? Also is it botox for under you chin and neck area. You look fantastic.

Ramona--I love you hair. Who is your hairdresser and what is the address of his salon. Thank you.

Leslie Cohen

Ramona, I love you. Keep on keeping it real. I like the way you call it as you see it. It may not be consistent, but you always call it as it is and for that I respect you. And I do love your new hair.

Ramona,

You are usually difficult for me to keep up with because you are all over the place and can say some pretty hurtful things. Having said that, you seem to be the ONLY voice of reason between the Jill-Bethanny-Alex drama. You were absolutely right to tell LuAnn that Jill and Bethanny probably would have made up when you set up the chat for them if she had not interrupted them. It was a very selfless and caring thing to try to bring 2 of your friends back together. LuAnn's jealousy was very obvious, she wanted Jill to herself and pulled her away from the chat selfishly. I say good for you! I am now a fan of yours because you really showed that you care about your friends and are not out to tear them down.

Hi,
I loved your white dresser in your bedroom featured on a recent episode. Who is the designer?

Thx

Ramona: You do not have to wear your feelings on your sleeves to be real, contrary to another comment. There is such a thing as saying it like it is without such brutality. Yes, you are refreshing but this time you really went to far. I am glad you and B are good friends. No one is perfect and saying "Sorry" is a sign of a person taking responsibility for their words and actions. You were well intentioned but inviting B to talk to Jill at your house but interrupting them with tea was silly and having LuAnn there was not good at all...
I lOVE your pieces at HSN and still deciding which one I will purchase since they are all so beautiful. Good luck with your line.

Ramona, why did you send Avery home alone in a cab in NYC?

ramona, you were right it was not the place or the time
you looked great! the countess was out of line
jill is a trouble maker and hater ...

Ramona, your hair is amazing! it looked so matural and young.
your new hair gives you a whole new...not so midwest hair dresser.
truly a huge improvemet!!

You and Lynne from RHOC should be friends... you are both in your own world.

ramona,
im just starting watch the second season of real housewives of nyc, i just want to know why you think its any of your business that alex had naked photos of herself published in a magazine, im only up to episode 3 of the season 2 and didnt see the whole of last season, but seriously it has nothing to do with you what she does, whether she is a friend or not, the only person she needs to answer to is herself and her husband. if you let that go you may come across as a better person. in the vote thing where it asked who would i vote of i did put you, but i have changed my mind to kelly. ok, dont really know why im doin this . bye

hey i love your jewerly. i bought the ring you designed and evertyone that sees it wants to know where i purchased it at. they can't believe it. keep up the good work.

As a person who sits back and listens I think you are way too involved with yourself. You seem Narcistic. Which is really bad, you are a women of age which is trying to be and appear younger. You are not. you're age shows and you should be proud of that.After watching the show you really have problems, you try to make your daughter do what she does not want to (RE- modeling or acting). You seem two faced you don't tell others how you really feel. I'm sure you will not contact me because I say it as it is. I feel sorry for you.

this has nothing to do with this blog but i wasnt sure where else i could write to ramona. if anyone knows id appreciate you let me know. i wanted to let ramona i am very proud that u sent avery to an all girls private school. i have been in private school since first grade. for high school i attended an all girls high school here in san diego, ca. i felt it prepared me so well for college and my future as an independent woman. I am currently engaged to a young man whom i met at the all boys brother private high school. we both feel private school so very beneficial for us and that our future children will definitely be attending one as well.

best wishes and God bless!

Ramona,

I recently heard that you thought the NJ housewives brought the franchise to "a new low". Give me a break! They have had the highest ratings out of all of them!!!

The reason I love the NJ housewives is because they ARE "Real"...they all wear their feelings on their sleeves and do not have shifting loyalties as the women of NYC do. The women in your group hate each other one minute and are best friends the next...just like high school...ick...so boring and immature. I love watching REAL women who aren't insecure and won't pretend to like someone if they really don't...you all need to take a lesson from them...

Hello, where can I find your jewlery

Hi Ramona,

I've got to ask, why are your eyes so...weird? I can't believe you got upset with one of the ladies because she pointed out that weird high-octane blink thing you do.

Also, the whole Simon and Alex attack campaign you seem to relish stoking, what really is your deal with them? As much as I hesitate in admitting that I agree with any of your thoughts, I really do think Simon is weird. Quite frankly, I wouldn't be surprised to hear he's bisexual! Nor would I be surprised Alex is as well. However, you seem to try and build yourself up by trying to embarrass them. Usually that's a sign of deep-rooted insecurities at work. Since your life is so fantastic, why do you waste so much energy constantly belittling the McCords? Why do you slip so easily in being two-faced to all the ladies on the show? And, why do you see nothing wrong with your juvenile behavior?

I really am trying to appreciate your personality, but as a native New Yorker myself, I found women like you were usually trying to hide their inadequacies behind a forked tongue.

I hope you continue to try and improve on your behavior, since I have seen a little improvement in your shenanigans. Karma...

Ramona,
You are so funny. The things that come out of your mouth are classic. Although sometimes it is probably a good idea to think before you speak. Some of your comments are soooo out of line (but soooo funny) You have spunk girl! I really wish the viewers would lay off of the "crazy eyes" comments. It is not nice to make fun of things that people can't help and very rude. The countess was rude in taking part in making fun of your eyes-NOT very COUNTESS like at all. Perhaps she needs to read her own book.

Ramona you are annoying but your heart is in the right place. I watched the reunion show and your comment on Kelly was classic. I have absolutely no idea what she is saying either. My friends and I watch your show and when she makes a statement we are dumbfounded. I am sure she is suffering from early Alzheimers and looks very bad for an ex-model at 40. Looks like an ex-model at 50, stay out of the sun Kelly. The legs are always the last to go (assured that went over her head). Keep it up Ramona.

Ramona,
did you ever get the procedure done for your underarms? if so, what is it called again?

Ramona, I would love to know what kind of dog you have. Coco is a beauty!

Ramona,
I think that you are a good business woman. You are emotional and thats a good thing. Don't let these other issues (Jill is trying to be your friend and you're so mean to her!) Why? You turn into a twelve year old. You are smart, now use your wits and make the show (if there is another one?) a good one for viewers like myself to watch. You can do it!

You are definitely a character that makes the show good. :)

Please stop trying to make money off of us. As if you need it.

Ramona,
People need to realize it is a show and it is editted to get ratings....but the real reason I wanted to send you a message is that you are my HERO...with so many things going wrong with people and religion you made it a point to state you are Catholic and that is why you have an issue with Alex and the nude pics....as Christians we must stand our ground on what we believe and stay true to our religion. Thank you for not doing lip service to the Catholic religion like so many people in government do.

Ramona, I really must compliment you on your youthful looks. You really don't look any older than the other Housewives and from what I've read you are.Whats the real secret? I hope next season you'll think before you blurt out what you're thinking. Honesty is good but it's not always what you say but how yow say it.Bethenny sometimes has that problem too.Enjoy your family and don't be too quick to judge others.You are so fortunate because it seems that you and Mario have a good marriage.I have been married for 43 years and I know that it takes a lot of work, compromising , respect and caring.Have a gret summer!

Ramona -- This last season was terrible to watch. Are you always that mean? I hated to watch you flip out on Kelly, come on Ramona she was a model. Won't you give someone else credit for their accomplishments??? I can't believe that Alex gives you the time of day. You are so rude to her and her husband. As much as I believe that Simon is a wack job, you never let it go. At least there isn't a question about his love and admiration for Alex. As for Super Tan Mario....one season > no wedding ring at a party & flirting with a younger woman(oh ya you saw that)...next season > starring at women walking by while engaged in conversation with you. Please Ramona those who live in glass houses..............
Thanks to Mario, Simon looks like a Saint.
Ramona, if you come back next season....try something new...Like, Being NICE!

I like your jewelry but I like your husbands as well. Can you tell me were to find it?

Ramona,
You have been one of my favorites since the first season!!! You are hilarious and obviously look FABULOUS for your age!! People who have negative things to say to or about you are just jealous!! love you fashion sense, you have a great family, friends, gorgeous homes, and a great business!! I definitely admire the way you tell it like it is and you have my ideal life!!!!

jewlery is waaaaayyyyyy too expensive!!! that's too much money for faux jewlery darling.can you say economy crash? sorry no sale here!

Hi Ramona: I respect that you very self confident and capable of earning your own money. There is a lot to be said for that and it is admirable. It doesn't appear you rely on any "man" to support you monetarily although you definitely have the looks and personality to achieve that if you wanted like plenty of other women do. Everyone is mad that you are promoting yourself, but I understand that's just business. You totally make me laugh and I think Avery is a very smart, precious little girl. I don't like that you bring reproach by pretending to have some reverence towards God or his son, which is symbolic by the "cross" that you wear & without a beat, at the very same time, you will make it a point to judge and turn your nose up at Alex & Simon as if you had the right, as if you were that actual only perfect person on earth to have the right to judge by means of authority, and then you have the arrogance to be angry with them because they did something to you-in that they didn't tell you or "I'll beat you up-raise my voice to women" Mario. I like that you are confident, but really Ramona-who do you really think you are? Your just another woman like the rest of us.(Even though I made my first million by 20, I recognize I'm just another piyon here on earth, not better than anyone, probably worst off as a result, if you can understand that.) Maybe you should just not wear the cross so as to not "appear" to be a hypocrite. Although your Mom suffered with your Dad and as a result you suffered too (which I can absolutely relate to), I have to wonder, how far off is Mario in terms of talking to women inappropriately to your dad? What kind of man raises his voice to a woman and flares his arms the way he did with Jill? C'mon, that's psych 101: and the answer is....abuser. Subconsciously, that is what you know and recognize and eventually married, at least that's what Mario managed to portray and successfully made us viewers perceive him as a pompous-abuser. A bad reflection upon you since you "are one" with him. And all over a tennis match, something that is suppose to be "sportsman like" hahaha, lol. Meanwhile, I want to see more of the outgoing, funny, smart Ramona-no more hypocritical, pretentious snob. After all, we are the general public you want to buy your products right? Marketing 101: be likable. Overall, I like you Ramona, but all I am is just a potential customer/viewer, what do I know and what does my opinion matter?

You, Avery, and Coco looked adorable at the pet fashion show. That dress was perfect for you..beautiful color/shape and fit for you (and Coco)!! Avery is so pretty and smart. It was nice to see you out together.

Ramona you are the best teach Kelly , Alex ,and Simon that life is great!l.o.l.! they needs a reality check!WTF! is going on with Kelly!DRAMA!

Ramona,

Your jewlery looks expensive and it is expensive, much too over priced for something set in Silver.

Oh so we are reading an advertisement from you not a blog.
Romana you are a pice of work. Nice one moment and then not nice the next. Why you think you are the one to police anyones morales is beyond me. Why do you care what Alex did with a photo shoot. Why do you can what Simon does or does not do? You deal with your family and let them deal with theirs.

The most attractive woman on the show is Ramona's friend Joni!!

Hi Ramona, I loved watching the lost footage. It was nice to see the businesswoman side of you. I only hope you'll be nicer to Alex and Simon...they're really not so bad . You don't have to be their friend, but you should really think before you insult them.I hope you enjoy your hiatus, and enjoy your family.

Hi Ramona...

Did I hear right the other night??? married at 37, together now 18 years??? My gosh... you look fantastic... must get your tru renewal a try

Ok, I checked out the jewelry (I love HSN!) and I have to say it is gorgeous...nicely done!! My only concern is that you are launching at a time when consumers are being very thrifty with every hard earned $...I truly hope it doesn't affect your sales, because what I just viewed online is beautiful!!

Hi Ramona,
Ya know at first I didn't know what to make of you and thought you where a little to foward but now I love ya you are honsest and seem to be a good friend! I like ya Lots! You have a Beautiful Daughter' she seem very Intelligant.. Oh and PS Do whatvere you can to get that ASS Kelly OFF the show ! LOL
Love ya \
Denise

Love the show. Can't wait for next go round. Loved your little COco. I have a little
boy dog who looks just like Coco, his name is Charley and the love of my life.
My thought on Kelly is get rid of her no one will miss her.

I know you've had a rough childhood as you've said, however, thats no excuse for being rude and disrespectful to others. I also came from a rough childhood and I wouldn't dream of saying half the things you do. I have manners.

The other thing I don't understand is you seem to blame Jill for inviting Simon to play when it was Bethany that came up with the idea and Bethany who called him for Jill about it. Put the blame where it belongs. Quit blaming everyone...Start looking within if you want to grow which I think you do. I think you genuinely are trying to figure out what relationships make you happy. As much as you fight with Jill, I think you like and respect her deep down. I just think you both bring out the worst in one another. However I do like Jill as she's honest.

Ramona you look great. This season Mario had me in tears (laughing) especially when the ladies walked by while you both were talking at the restaurant. One thing I notice Ramona, you did not flinch or get upset, you continued on with your conversation. Now... that's class and security, although Mario took it up a notch with the flirting.

I do not understand, why you were upset with the posting of Alex nudity picture. That is not your business and for some unknown reason you have made it your business. Alex is a beautiful woman with a great body, they chose to put her pictures out there, they do not owe you or Mario any explanation, to each is own. If you truly felt that way, then why be in the same setting with them during the halloween party, page six party, etc.

You seem to calm down with the lieing, that was clearly out of control last season, this season you seem to own up and not hide. Glad to see that. Ramona, look forward to seeing you next season, stay strong and you have a hunk of a hubby as well as a daughter that will keep you grounded.

Bethany is right you are very petty. You hold onto regular everyday fodder in friendships until an opporutne moment and then you go a million times meaner. It's childish and I can't believe anyone would be friends with you after the first "Ramona".

Ramona,
The Social Register lists prominent wealthy families and
accomplished American who have contributed to their communities greatly. It does not, however, educate one
on manners. We'll leave that to the (4th X-wife) of the Count and her new book. You R too funny, "Jill"--"Jill"
"Jill". lol

Ramona..I love the way you put it the way it is...tell them the way you feel. I have been married for 39 years and would love to hang out with all of you and feel like I would feel comfortable with all you.( Less the money ) I would love to have a visit with you girls. If you ever want a Canadian girl that likes to have a good time..PlEASE give me a call. My wish is to own a pair of jimmy shoo shoes..I really would love to meet you and the rest of the girls. my # is 905 227 7289 hope to hear from you..if not I still love the show and keep up the good work. your fan Sharon.

Face it honey!!!You and your so called want to be housewifes.Are so far from being the real deal it so say.Watch you all talk about people and go on and on about your life it so sicking.I don't think because your on a say that your anybody in the world.You need to remember .Where you all came from.You and your so called housewife.Will never be the real Housewife Of Orange County.Thay are the first and only real Housewife.You all need to remember.We viewer made you.Who you are.When will we get are Real Housewifes Of Arkansas. your no better then us. sincerely Dewayne Wells
