Real Housewives of New York: What The Hell Moments S6 E11

Still at the Berkshires, the ladies plan Ramona's intervention!

“The Ramona Trap” is the title of this week’s episode. Do you think they mean “trap” as in mouth and someone will tell her to “shut her trap?” No, this is about the ladies confronting Ramona on her bad behavior. Not sure I am ready for the drama. In any case it’s very hard to blog nonsense, which is what this show is all about.

We are still in the Berkshires, can you believe this? It’s morning and they all look hung over. Kristen looks pretty good for the wear. Sonja goes back to sleep. The perky yoga instructor shows up. Sonja says LuAnn looks pretty banged up and, of course, LuAnn is annoyed. Who is more banged up than Sonja? Everyone goes outside for yoga at 9 am, even Sonja, who wouldn’t dare be left out of television air time. Carole only likes two poses and she is sticking with them. Sonja is inventing her own kind of yoga. I wish I could ask Heather who the hell plans yoga at 9 am for guests you know love to drink the night away?

Carole is doing a photo shoot for a magazine. She is also writing a piece on manners for Town and Country and she needs tips from LuAnn, the Queen of manners and etiquette. Carole has one sentence so far. What do you bring a hostess at a party? Wine or a candle. I read Carole’s finished article and I recommend it. Carole is witty and I love her writing style, however some of her gift ideas are not for the everyday housewife. She is a little out of touch. I find that is the case with many “rich” people.  LINK to article.

Kristen meets Heather at Central Park with her son, Cash. They rehash Ramona’s glass throwing, anger and lying issues. Heather says they are doing the intervention at dinner tonight. Heather thinks it’s an issue of anger management. Heather says Ramona lied to get away from the Berkshires. So overall Ramona’s behavior is totally unacceptable. Kristen says she isn’t ready to see Ramona, so she won’t go. Maybe she wants her lip to heal before Ramona throws something else at her face?

Ramona is boxed in by linebacker LuAnn!

The confrontation dinner! LuAnn says they devised a plan to trap Ramona in her seat so she can’t leave. They have a u-shaped booth and they manipulate the situation so Ramona has to sit on the inside, not on the end. Everyone but Kristen is there. LuAnn is to the right of Ramona and, like a football player, she will block her from leaving. LuAnn asks about the Hamptons and the Molly Sims party. Ramona looks shocked then rolls her big eyes. LuAnn says Ramona left the Berkshires so she could go to a party. Sonja confronts Ramona about lying. Heather says it was hurtful that she left her house when she went to a lot of trouble planning a nice weekend. They think the whole childhood theatrics was a fabricated elaborate ploy to avoid telling the truth . . . she had a party to go to. Ramona  thinks Sonja is pissy because she wasn’t invited to the party.

These b*tches are ganging up on me. F*ck them!

Ramona starts crying and holding her head. Everyone is ganging up on her. Ramona starts dropping “F” bombs and says she is leaving. She gets out of control and wants to get out of the booth. Carole tells her she should have been honest about why she was leaving. Ramona is talking nonstop and not listening to a word anyone is saying. Ramona is still crying about her childhood memories. Sonja says if Ramona has post traumatic stress she sure gets over it quickly. Ramona says she wanted to get out of the Berkshires, she wasn’t comfortable there. Now  Ramona admits she needs help dealing with her past.  She says she needs therapy just to shut them up and so she can get out of there.

At Kristen’s house her 17 month old daughter, Kingsley, isn’t walking yet. Her husband comes home in the middle of the day. Kristen asked him to do some therapy with Kingsley. She wants him to see what’s involved. He complains how hard it is for him to take 2 hours out from work, but he did it so Kristen will stop busting his chops. Nice. Meanwhile he is on the phone the entire therapy session. Kristen is annoyed and rightly so. Then he steps outside to take a call. Kristen gets up to confront him. He says he will be in in a minute. The therapist leaves and Kristen tries to explain that she needed his undivided attention. He feels harassed. He has pressure from his job so he can’t be home for everything. He has a demanding job with little flexibility. He says he doesn’t come home because there is never any food on the table. Now, that’s hitting below the belt! I think Kristen and Josh need to be on Dr. Phil. I can almost see them having their own reality show like Tori and Dean.

Who the hell is buying this?

Ramona is working out after her “blow-out,” how odd.  Mario walks in and she stops the workout and immediately switches to wine drinking, her favorite sport. She tells him about her dinner intervention and what happened at the Berkshires. She turned herself into the “victim.” She says she and Mario are married 21 years and have a successful marriage . . . what happened to his cheating and baby out of wedlock? It was all over the tabloids for months and they aren’t mentioning it on the show? That’s a storyline! I don’t care if it’s real or fake, it’s better that glass throwing and Ramona can play victim legitimately.

Sonja says the word “brand” and a pain shoots through my brain . . .  and says she doesn’t go over the top. What??? Everything Sonja does is over the top. Sonja and her interns are setting a table for the people who are going to discuss her brand. Oy Vey, I am glad this scene went nowhere.

I have a tendency to talk too much . . . 

did you know 76% of women fake orgasms?

LuAnn arranged a double date for her and Jacques and Carole and her friend, Neil. Carole is a little nervous. She is afraid she will talk too much and wants LuAnn to let her know if she does. She asks how old he is, he says 52. “That’s a lovely age.” Carole likes older men. The whole time Carole keeps asking if she is talking too much. She advises them that “76% of woman fake orgasms.“ Carole is really screwing up this date. I can’t wait to read her blog and get her take on it.

"No more throwing objects at people's faces, Ramona!"

Kristen is meeting Ramona for tea. Ramona invited her so we’ll see if an apology is forthcoming. Ramona thanks her for coming and says she feels terrible for what happened. She apologizes profusely. Kristen started feeling better about the situation. But she can’t get over the fact that Ramona threw something at her face twice in a few weeks? Then she asks Ramona if she is drinking too much or has anger management issues. Ramona is clearly getting annoyed now. Kristen thinks she should get help, she has issues. Ramona says she is leaving in a minute. Kristen made a trip there, from uptown,  for nothing, Ramona is always looking at her clock and running off. At least Ramona is remorseful. Kristen leaves. You get the feeling this whole apology was really a waste of time.

Mob Wives: Recap “Renee’s Had Enough,” Ep 411

It’s not just Renee who has had enough, I think we all have…about lots of things…things we do not want to hear about any more! Here goes, and excuse me if I'm not all fired up this week...

Drita’s house. Renee arrives for THE sit down. Drita cooks the dinner and appoints herself “mediator.” Alicia, Natalie and Ang are already sitting and waiting at the table. Natalie is annoyed the second she sees Renee’s face, and Alicia has an attitude about Renee. Nobody is talking. Renee tells Alicia to eat something, but Alicia is a basket-case over her sentencing. And, I feel like we are all serving a sentence every time we have to hear her whine…you did the crime, now do the time (if there is any)! Alicia speaks for both herself and Natalie. Alicia accuses Renee of spreading rumors about her that are going to jeopardize her case. Renee says she would never do such a thing. There’s nothing like going on a reality show to keep your life private, right Alicia? They rehash the sentencing (again, oy vey) and Alicia suddenly attributes their issues to a “miscommunication.” Alicia says she doesn’t know who leaked the information about her, but she NOW realizes it’s no one at the table. Gee, just like that? Renee says this all started with her friend, Carla, coming up. Drita, the voice of reason and newly self-appointed mediator, says Carla is Renee’s friend for life and Renee’s loyalty lies with her. On the other hand, Renee has known Eddie, as a friend, for 30 years, so her loyalty lies with him. Natalie chimes in. She defended Alicia because she is her friend, and Renee says she understands her sticking up for Alicia. Alicia wants Renee to come to her directly when she hears anyone say something. Alicia is trying to keep her friendship with Renee and move past these issues since Renee has been Eddie’s friend for 30 years. Now all the air is cleared and they all got to eat! They even got to dessert. Drita is proud of herself. What? Just like that all the issues are resolved in a kumbaya moment? Is this for real? Of course not. Something doesn’t have the ring of truth to it. What the hell changed to get everyone so warm and fuzzy and agreeable, especially between Renee and Natalie? Way too much happened to just kiss and makeup. Next!

Can't we all just get along? I want PEACE!

Drita is at her second store location, the grand opening is soon. She is pissed because the work isn’t moving as fast as it should. Drita lost her money in Vegas and she needs to make more money. She hates the red color paint they show her, they got the wrong color. Drita is building an empire for her daughters to pay for college. Drita loves her Lady Boss sign! She still has a lot to do before the Grand Opening. Well at least the opening of the store is real, but I’m not that interested in it.

Natalie and London are wandering around looking at apartments. Looks like they are in Brooklyn, but who really cares? The building has no elevators and they keep climbing stairs up to the nosebleed floor. How the high up is this apartment already? Natalie immediately notices there is no closet space in the apartment. Where in the world will she put all that skimpy lingerie? The bedroom for her son is too small, there is no washer or dryer, and no freakin’ elevator. The Real Estate agent says for all those things she would have to pay $2,000 a month more. London doesn’t want to pay that much. Either he is cheap or has a low income. She says she has a mortgage free house in SOUTH Philly and she doesn’t really want to move into a small ass apartment. She says they need a three bedroom apartment. He doesn’t get it, two bedrooms are enough. She says what if they have a baby. He says he isn’t ready for a baby. He doesn’t want a more expensive apartment. He wants to party. She says they have a nine year old, they can’t party. She leaves. She wants a husband and a family and doesn’t want to be the one making all the sacrifices. Now this was a waste of time filler scene that no one cared about. However, for the first time I do agree with Natalie, she needs to stay in her mortgage free house in SOUTH Philly.

The naive Goddess has spoken, but who is listening?

At the Goddess’ house, Alicia says she is relieved she patched things up with Renee (what a load off her mind, right?) and can focus on her sentencing. The bank is closing all her bank accounts…all nine of them. Gee, I wonder why? Maybe they think there could be some embezzled pension money chilling in there? Or maybe they are afraid she will hide the money so she doesn’t have to pay restitution? Anyway, she keeps claiming it’s her money, but who is going to believe her?  And, she is still freaking crying over Eddie’s betrayal, but she keeps saying she isn’t with him any more, hasn’t been with him for a long time. I even heard she served him with divorce papers. The kids don’t know her sentencing is only a week away. She has to break it to them. She is scared and she would rather not think about it. She wants to be strong for her boys. If she ends up in jail it will be devastating because her boys won’t have their father or mother. Boo hoo, more crying. All she ever wanted was her family and now everything has fallen apart because she was naïve (insert extreme eye roll <@@> here). Now she has to struggle and she didn’t sign up for this, boo hoo, boo hoo. I think I have exhausted all I can say about Alicia and her situation. This poor horse has been beaten to death.

Lady Boss Grand Opening. Drita is excited because it has all come together. Alicia arrives at the store with a gift basket and she loves it. She says it’s very chic. Renee loves it. Ang loves it. It’s all fancy and her kind of style, says Ang. Drita went from giving black eyes to blue eyes, says Renee. Renee asks Alicia about court. Alicia says she is just waiting. London and Natalie show up. They both look like they are dressed from “The 70’s Show.” I’ll have to ask Fashionista to look into this retro look. London says Natalie will not respect the budget he has in his mind, so they will live in separate states. Yes! Natalie wants  more of a commitment and Alicia speaks to London about it. She doesn’t want London to hurt her. Drita is glad there is no tension or awkwardness between the girls today. They toast to the store. Another filler scene. You know what? I am getting the impression that Drita made the best deal this season. Not only did she make a pile of money from being on the show, she got a load of free advertisement for her new store.

Renee’s house. Alicia calls, she just got home from Christmas shopping with the boys. Renee tells her she is pissed with Natalie over her disrespectful tweets. Renee says she hasn’t said or done anything to her since they met at Drita’s. Renee tells her she tweeted she doesn’t condone women who sleep with married men and Natalie tweets that Renee wasn’t Eddie‘s friend and called her a lying dirty ho. Forgive me if I got this wrong, but I didn’t find the actual tweets. Renee feels she was attacked by Natalie on Twitter. Alicia wants Renee to tell all this to Natalie, not her. Renee thought they were past all the BS and now Natalie disrespects her on Twitter. Renee’s had enough! I have had enough too!

Oh Lord, Ang and Neil are at the fertility clinic. Neil’s sperm + an egg donor + a surrogate = baby. The whole thing sounds and looks like a big joke. Neil actually already looks pregnant with that beer belly he is carrying around. Ang is making a comedy out of the whole thing. If they are going to attempt to use this as a storyline, at least make it a little believable. It’s totally bogus and I don’t find it funny.

Alicia’s house. She is with the boys, writing letters to Eddie. The phone rings and it’s Eddie, surprise surprise…yawn. The boys pass the phone around very fast and then Alicia gets on. We never hear Eddie’s voice, like we did with Lee. Alicia says Eddie got the best case scenario for his sentencing. She seems to be arguing with “Eddie,” but we can’t hear his end of the conversation, so who really knows? I. for one, think she was talking to the producer and role playing. One of the boys asks her what did dad do. She says he made some mistakes and had to go away. She tells them she got involved in his mistakes and might have to go away too. She asks them to write her letters if she goes away. She is preparing her children for the possibility they might have nether parent for a while. No offense to the children, or maybe they edited it to look that way, but they didn’t have much of a reaction to the news. No one, except maybe Alicia, seems broken up about the possibility of her going to jail…makes me think she has a plea deal that doesn’t involve doing time and she has been pulling the wool over our eyes all season long. Hmmmm.

Ok, what's up with this attire? A fashion statement?

Renee rents out a beautiful suite in New York City for a pajama “Ho Ho Ho” party. Everyone loves it. Renee is in a great mood…as long as one person doesn’t come…Natalie. Alicia tells the girls that Renee is upset with Natalie over something she tweeted which may have been below the belt. They go ask Renee what happened. Renee explains what happened on Twitter. Natalie says “You were never his friend you lying dirty Ho.” Drita is pissed because they have already made peace. Ang says the peace was too good to be true and is disappointed in Natalie for breaking the truce. Renee says Natalie is out of control, out of line, and needs to go back to Philadelphia. I think @dondig should do me a favor and drive her there right now. Alicia goes upstairs to see what the problem is with Renee. Alicia agrees Natalie was out of line, but she can’t control her. Renee feels people are looking at her sideways because of  what Natalie said. Drita just wants PEACE, she is tired of them all bickering like animals. Renee’s had enough! I have to laugh. Drita, the fighter, wants peace. Ang and Drita are suddenly sticking up for Renee. Even Alicia is siding with Renee before even talking to Natalie! Is anyone as confused as I am right now? What did Drita put in her brownies at dinner?

So Mob Wives is ending their season with a fight about tweets? That’s all they could come up with? If so, please pass me some of Drita’s brownies for me and my entourage…thanks.

Mob Wives: Recap "Winging It," Ep 311

Get More: Mob Wives (Season 3)

First what we didn't see: Ramona has a career as a model!

Love meets with her doctor, Dr. Stiler, for a neurological check up. Love was involved in a very bad car accident with an 18 wheeler and still has lingering issues. The doctor asks her if she notices signs of irritability and if she gets angry easily. Love tells him that when she is angry or fights, she just blacks out and doesn’t remember what happened. This was the case with a recent fight she was in. She has a bad temper, but says she doesn’t want to hurt anyone. She is still suffering from the aftereffects of the trauma to her skull and the doctor feels she still has symptoms of post traumatic shock syndrome.

Karen is still in Arizona and getting ready to go back to Staten Island. She hates leaving Karina. Karina will be taking their dog, Ozzie, to grandma’s house with her. Karen feels she is on good terms with Dave now and he agrees with her. They talked through all their issues and he won’t have to keep any secrets from Karen in the future. Dave is taking Karen and Ramona to the airport. Karen says she still has a lot to do on Sammy’s case.

“This is the thing, Love definitely has an issue with you,” says Drita.

Drita arrives at Carla’s house. She need to talk to Carla about the “Love” situation. “Love wants to eat her.” Drita tells Carla that Love definitely has an issue with her. Carla insists she doesn’t know Love and never met her. Drita tells her that Love says Carla has been talking about her and that according to Love, she went out with Carla’s boyfriend before he got together with Carla. Carla thinks this is insane and says Love “banged” him for a month before Carla met him. Carla feels that Drita should tell Love that she doesn’t want to hear anything about Carla because they are good friends. But Drita is concerned that, as Carla’s good friend, she cannot make Carla understand that Love is serious and will really hurt her if they don’t talk it out.

Renee goes to a Brooklyn shoe store owned by her friend, Jiton. They have been friends for 10 years and have similar backgrounds. They begin talking business. They had discussed developing a shoe line for Renee’s new business, Mob Candy. They have been waiting for Renee to get her life back on track and now Renee says she is ready. She wants her shoes to be glamorous and over the top, like her lifestyle. Jiton says she will set up a meeting with her designers and see what they can do to create the shoes Renee envisions.

Drita and Big Ang are talking in Drita’s new store, across the street from the Monkey. Drita looks at Big Ang as a mentor in business. Drita wants her store to be old school and she even has a jukebox. Drita tells Ang that she talked to Carla, but she is stubborn. Lee calls Drita and she tells him she wants him to ask his friend to put a camera in the store so she can watch it from home. Big Ang says Neil doesn’t help, he is just good for picking up trash and beer. Drita laughs and says Lee can’t do anything either. Big Ang feels that this store is helping to make Drita more independent.

“The wedding is gonna happen, so come happy, come sad,” says Ramona.

Ramona takes her girls to pick out items for her wedding arrangements. The wedding will be held at home and possibly in a moment’s notice, depending on when Joe is able to get out of prison for one week. It will be a “shot-gun” wedding. They will try to get married as soon as he gets out and then spend the week together, before he has to go back. Joe will have to be under house arrest and have two armed guards present. They discuss things like food, flowers, tables, chairs etc. Ramona says the wedding will happen so “come happy, come sad.” Ramona says this might be the quickest wedding planned in history.

Karen is back in New York and meets her cousin, Rena, at her pizzeria. She tells Rena about her trip to Arizona and that she finally met with Dave’s girlfriend. Karen says since they talked and cleared the air, she feels comfortable. Rena asks about Sammy. Karen gets emotional. She hasn’t been able to see her father, he is in the hole, buried in the system. She tells Rena that she wants to reopen his case. Karen and Rena’s fathers were at odds, due to family circumstances, but they never let that come between them. Karen wants her father to get out of jail and enjoy the rest of his life. Rena tells her she has to keep on fighting.

Over at Angel Skin, the Ferragamo skin center, Carla is getting a facial from Dr. Ferragamo, a retired gynecologist who delivered Drita’s children. It’s a nice little family spa business. Joe walks in and he and Carla joke around while the doctor works on Carla’s face. Carla announces, to no one in particular, that she and Joe will always have each other’s backs. She says she is glad she had his children. She has no time for drama, like Love, who has no life and just likes to talk trash.

If I take a sh*t on her front lawn, she should shut her f*ckin’ mouth,” Love says.

Drita is going to get her nails done with Love. Drita enjoys Love’s company, she makes her laugh. Drita tells Love that she spoke to Carla about the issues Love has with her. Love wants to know what she said. Drita tells her she denied it. Love says she has heard 35 things that Carla has said about her, one after the other. Then Love adds that her boyfriend drew angel wings for the tattoo on her wrist, the same ones she used for her company, Veritas Cosmetics, and that Carla stole her design and gave it to her husband, Joe for his Angel Skin business. Love says the wings are right there on the front door. Love tells Drita that if Carla doesn’t sit down with her and own what she has been saying, she will confront her. Drita believes that Love is convinced that the stories she has been told about Carla are true. Drita asks Love if she can talk to Carla. Love says she can talk to Carla, but is not sure it would go well because Carla has a bad attitude and will call her crazy.

Renee is rebuilding her life and relationship with AJ. She is focused on her business. She takes AJ rock climbing. Renee is a little afraid after going halfway up the wall and comes back down. AJ quickly and easily scales the wall. They both seem to enjoy the experience. Renee tells him this is a way for them to bond. She wants them to have a different and better life. Renee fills AJ in on her meeting with Jiton and the new shoe line. AJ tells her he doesn’t want to take money from her, he wants to make his own money. Renee is so proud of him. Then he tells Renee she s doing great. Renee starts to tear up. It means so much coming from AJ.

Love’s 40th Birthday party takes place at a club with the girls. Ramona, Drita and Karen are there. Karen is filling them in on her boyfriend/business partner, Storm. Karen doesn’t like Ramona’s attitude and at the same time, Ramona is irked by Karen. Ramona keeps calling Storm the “Music Man” and making jokes. Storm arrives and Karen introduces him to all the girls. Love has all good things to say about him and approves. Now Love feels all the women have a man except her, and she wants some action too.

Renee and Jiton meet again, this time with the shoe designers. They bring sketches of the kinds of shoes they think Renee will like. Renee really likes the sketches and makes suggestions to add her own personal twist to them. Now they surprise Renee with prototypes of a couple of styles. There is a pair that look like “fire” that she wants to name after Ramona. They also designed one pair that they named, “Renee.” Renee loves all their ideas, they nailed it. Renee appreciates the fact that they waited for her to get her life back on track to develop this shoe line.

“You say something about me, I’m coming in for the kill,” Carla brags.

Carla invites friends, family and Drita and Big Ang to her wine tasting party. Drita and Ang want to put out the fire between Love and Carla. Drita feels she has to bring it up again because Carla is a target and she has no choice. She tells Carla she talked to Love again. Carla denies saying anything about Love and doesn’t care what she said or heard. Drita mentions the angel wings and tells Carla that Love told her she took her business logo and gave it to Joe for his business. Carla denies that too. Carla says Love is “F*ckin’ Nuts!” She says she knows nothing about Love’s business or her wings. Carla tells Drita that Joe’s father found them on the internet and drew them. Carla hopes that Drita is not believing everything Love is telling her and she doesn’t want Drita and Big Ang to be manipulated. Drita is in the middle again, between Love and Carla this time. Drita wants them to be civil. Carla says she will only talk, not fight. Drita tells her Love has a bad temper. Carla says, she doesn’t “give a f*ck.”

MY TWO CENTS

Oh boy! Once again the next week’s previews have totally fried my brain! What the hell is going to happen? Everyone looked raging mad over something. Looks like I might have to watch it twice.

As for this episode, “Winging It,“ I love the title! I am happy to see that Renee is getting her life back on track with things she is passionate about, her business venture “Mob Candy” and AJ. She looks so much more relaxed, and frankly so does AJ. The rock climbing was a fun experience to share and it gave them time to talk and appreciate each other. I think their lives are a lot calmer and more stable now and it shows. As for Renee’s shoe line, I think they nailed it too. The shoes they designed definitely have Renee’s unique sense of flair and glamour. If you liked what you saw, they should be available soon on her website. Congratulations and much success to Renee from all of us at the blog!

Karen has reconciled her issues with Dave and his girlfriend, so that will reduce a lot of the tension in her life. There are only two more episodes, so I don’t know if the reopening of her dad’s case will happen this season. This is a storyline I would like to follow in season four. Now as for Ramona and Karen’s issues, they just seem to be getting worse right now. Ramona is trying to push Karen’s buttons about her dating Storm by using her nickname, “Music Man,” and saying it as often as she can, with a few teasing digs. I got the feeling she was almost mocking Karen’s budding relationship. It’s not sitting well with Karen. It seems to me that Ramona is trying to get back at Karen for giving her the truth instead of her blessing, on her wedding to Joe. The cousins are going through a rough patch, but I think in the end they will talk and move past it. Will it get worse before it gets better? Time will tell. (P.S. I think Rena should be on more often, I love her personality!)

What can I say about Drita, Love and Carla this week? A lot! First, let me get it out of the way and say I don’t believe anything Carla says about anything because she has lied too many times, on and off the show. So if Love says she has heard from different people that Carla was bad mouthing her, I believe it. She started off this season with an attitude towards Love, where did that come from? There were nasty tweets exchanged on Twitter, between Love and Carla, before Love was even in the cast. It doesn’t add up that she has no clue who Love is, especially since she is dating Handy Man, who previously dated Love for a short time. Just connect the dots!

Now I am very sympathetic towards Drita. Whoever thought I would be saying that? But honestly, Drita is caught in an impossible situation and is damned if she does and damned if she doesn’t. Once again she is in the middle of a mess. She is friends with both Carla and Love and she wants to keep peace in her life. She has had two rough years on the show and just wants to be happy. She is doing the best she can to stay out of the drama and focus on the positive. People are criticizing Drita for not being a loyal friend to Carla. I think Drita is doing the best she can. She is defending Carla and going back to warn her that Love is serious. She wants them to resolve this issue and clear the air. Carla isn’t taking it seriously, which will only escalate the situation. Drita is really worried that Love will hurt Carla. What is she supposed to do? Challenge Love to a dual and defend Carla’s honor? Maybe Drita thinks Carla is capable of gossiping about Love, maybe she heard some of word on the street about it? Maybe Drita knows it’s true and hasn’t said so? It’s not like Carla hasn’t talked about Karen, Ramona and Renee behind their backs. What’s one more? Only this time maybe Carla picked the wrong person to flap her gums about.

And as to the wings, where did they come from? That is the heavenly question. Love has consistently said that her boyfriend drew her the wings for the tattoo on her wrist, which was clearly visible on the show. She used that same design for her Veritas Cosmetics company. Love says, Carla took her wings logo and gave it to Joe for his Angel Skin business. Carla denies it, Joe denies it (on Twitter), Joe’s business partner, Danielle, denies it (on Twitter). So where do they say the wings originated…and herein lies "Wing-Gate"…

Joe tweets that he and his business partner, Danielle, “conceived” the idea for the wings. Danielle tweets that she chose the wings (from some unspecified source), and Carla says, her father in-law picked them out online and drew them (I believe that’s what  heard last night). So where do these wings come really come from? On a previous blog, Mob Mistress posted both sets of wings, Love’s logo and Angle skin’s logo. The wings look the same to us except that the Angel Skin logo had the “dots” removed and it’s wings “stretched” slightly to be a little elongated. Otherwise, they look identical in the feather count and every curve and contour. At least that’s my opinion. If nothing else, it’s a very big coincidence to say the least. I’m sure the truth is out there somewhere and it may end up in our laps one day.

I am so looking forward to next week’s episode! I would be happy to watch those previews all week long so I can try to figure out what the hell is going on. Until then, I’d be interested to hear your thoughts on this episode and the wings.

Mob Wives: Sneak Peek "Winging It" Ep 311

Love Majewski's Veritas Cosmetics Logo

"Carla's the Target" is the title of this little clip that VH1 has provided as a sneak peek to episode 11, "Winging It." Drita spoke to Love and feels she has to warn Carla that Love is upset with her because people have been telling her that Carla is bad mouthing. Drita and Ang approach Carla at a party and break the news to her. Carla gets agitated because she says she doesn't even know Love, so why would she be talking about her? But Love says that Carla does know her. In fact, Carla took her logo, the "wings" from her Veritas Cosmetics company, and used it for her husband's business. Carla blows a gasket, saying who knew she has a logo, who knew she had a store?

The window of Dr. Ferragamo's skin center.

Well someone knows the details of the case of the "stolen logo." Did she or didn't she use Love's logo? And has she been running her mouth about Love all over Staten Island? It wouldn't be the first time one of the mob wives has accused her of talking behind their backs, i.e. Karen, Ramona and Renee. So Carla always has a reputation. Who are we to believe? I can't wait to see this whole scene and the possible sit down between Carla and Love. The season started with a bang and it's ending with a BANG!

Mob Mistress' Take:  "I don't even know where my damn glasses are & it's looks like the same damn angel wings to me.  Okay, so they're upside down & the dots are missing."

I actually remembered the show was on tonight without anyone having to remind me. Why? Because all week Aviva has been harassing our “sister” blog, Stoopidhousewives.com on Twitter. Frankly, I have had my own Twitter issues with some mob wives, so I totally sympathize with SH. Now I will get into my What The Hell Moments…

A "clitoral lizard"???

Carole has a holiday party and invites everyone. I think Andy put her up to this idea. Carole is too intellectually elevated for this crowd and I think she finds them amusing most of the time. She is like a spectator more than a participant. I think she is going along with all the BS so she can end up writing a witty book about her experience. Andy also passed along another idea to Carole that I saw on and episode of the “Office” sitcom. Everyone brings a gift and when they open the gift they receive they have the option of keeping it or trading it for one of the other gifts. They were boring gifts any way. The What the Hell Moment comes when Carole opens the gift George (Aviva’s sex crazed father) brought and a lizard jumps out of the box. It caused a little commotion and he referred to it as a “clitoral lizard.” What’s next? A vaginal frog? Please, this man needs intensive therapy. He shouldn’t be allowed out in public and never around women. (Aviva had the audacity to say SH’s blog was going overboard! What about her own father? Can she do anything with him? Disgusting is all I have to say.)

Moving on. Sonja’s Toaster Oven photo shoot was a complete nerve wracking experience for me. I don’t know how Heather held it together and maintained her cool. Time is of the essence, but Sonja arrives an hour late for starters. Then she is busy gabbing instead of getting her hair and makeup done and getting dressed. But wait! Sonja has her period and is bleeding heavily. Why the hell does she goes into the bathroom with one of the men and tell him about her period? Don’t ask me why, I just watch, I don’t write this stuff. She complains to him that she always bleeds heavy and the doctor says she has a young uterus. Heather arranges two photo shoots for Sonja so the first one will be her team’s vision for promotion and the other will be Sonja’s. In the end, Sonja picks her vision. Who the hell cares if Heather is the expert? Heather just wasted a hell of a lot of time!

The ladies all get together at Carole’s house, this time without the men. They want to plan a trip together. Of course that would be my idea of a good time, hanging out with five people who insult my every thought and action! But they think it’s a great idea. Except for Aviva, who needs to bring Reid. Aviva can’t do a damn thing by herself except harass Stoopidhousewives.com. Here is my what the hell moment…Ramona actually made sense! Ramona tells her you didn’t always have Reid right? I mean you went to college and law school without Reid. Maybe you can do this without Reid? You can see that Aviva wasn’t buying it, but politely said she would think about it. I get the idea Aviva is used to getting her way all the time.

Ramona's Airbrushed J'Adore cover

Then there is a housewarming party by one of Sonja‘s rich friends and she invites everyone. On display are two magazine covers that Ramona is on, promoting her new red wine. However, Ramona is more interested in harassing Heather about Sonja’s Toaster Shoot, which she was forbidden to go to and who the hell cares? She kept going up to Heather and screaming some words in her face and walking away before Heather could answer. That behavior seemed fine with everyone. Also, Ramona was seen obviously eavesdropping. right behind Heather and Carole, and then took another shot at Heather.

Ramona gets closer to hear better, then explodes!

But, when Heather said Ramona was acting crazy, Mario and Aviva has an issue with that. They thought it was insulting. I thought she hit the nail on the head. What the hell was she acting like, if not crazy? Oh and then poor sensitive Aviva, nearly in tears, took issue with the fact the group was saying that Jacques wasn’t really French and his accent was fake. She thought that was mean and told them all so. Can this show get any more ridiculous? Stay tuned because I think it can, and it will.
