This is NO JOKE!
Starting May 12th on BRAVO! - The Real Housewives of New Jersey!!! (Where's Haruka????)


http://tvwatch.people.com/2009/03/17/first-look-the-real-housewives-of-new-jersey/



From left to right, the women of The Real Housewives of New Jersey are …

Jacqueline Laurita: A former cosmetologist, she is now a stay-at-home mom, but still loves to pamper herself. She has a teenage daughter from her previous marriage and a 6-year-old son with her husband Chris, who owns wholesale apparel businesses and is brother to Caroline and Dina.

Teresa Giudice: Born and raised in New Jersey, her husband Joe owns a successful construction company. Together they have three young daughters, who take up much of her time. A friend of Dina and Caroline, she also loves to shop, get spa treatments and spend time at her beach house on the Jersey Shore.

Danielle Staub: “You either love me or you hate me, there is no in between,” says the single mom of two daughters. She prides herself as one of the first female American Express Black card members in New Jersey. She is also active in her local parish and regularly attends mass. She and Jacqueline are friends.

Dina Manzo: Founder of the nonprofit Project Ladybug, which helps children with cancer, she’s also an interior designer, an event planner, mother and best friends with her sister Caroline. Her husband Tommy works with his brother (Caroline’s husband) at their family’s catering business.

Caroline Manzo: She’s a mother of three and own a real estate firm and a line of children’s accessories. Described as a “feisty spitfire,” she’s Dina’s sister and is on the board of Project Ladybug. She’s married to Albert Manzo, brother of Dina’s husband Tommy. Dina and Caroline’s brother is Jacqueline’s husband Chris.

10. i like midlo-obatarian
she's funny. and for all the abuse she takes (deservedly or not) she's ok.

that said, i'm still going to make fun of her.... problem is, i don't know what to tease her about that hasn't been already beaten to death by the rest of the lounge.

8. “You either love me or you hate me, there is no in between.”
Except, of course, for the six billion or so of us who have never heard of her before, and never will again.

I make a fucking awesome housewife. Unfortunately, I work, and LostinVA refers to me as her retirement fund.

19. Yeah, she figures eventually I'll pull in big bucks, and she can retire
I told her that she'd have to keep the house as nice as I did when I wasn't working. She already told me that wasn't happening. I hate her.

22. Like he should talk about draining the checking account
LostinVA complained that I bought a fishing license/trout stamp for *gasp* the trout season starting. It put off her getting a manual lawnmower for a week, apparently. We have a perfectly fine self-propelled gas mower.

26. Do what I did
Lose your debit card, steal his, find the lost (and now cancelled debit card), then never give his debit card back. I've had LostinVA's debit card for about six months, because I'm too lazy to get a new one.

My granny used to call that "mutton dressed as lamb."
