Hmmm...are the 40th birthday breasts your new ones? It seems there was strange editing going on this season. I've never had any cosmetic surgery, I'm 50. I look great. Now and then, I wouldn't mind a lift. How painful was the experience?

The watch was great, but way over the top! The cost of that watch could have paid off a 1/4 of my mortgage here in the midwest and I live in a decent sized, brand new house! And to hear that you only wear it a few times, urghh!!! I would have that strapped to my wrist 24/7!! Actually, I'd have your "cheap" Rolex on 24/7!!! I'm a stay-at-home mom to 2 kids, going to college and going back to work full-time, and couldn't even think of buying something that even cost $500 for myself! Jealous, yes. But to have something nice like that, gawd, I'd faint!!

Tamra, you looked fierce at your birthday party, I can't believe you're in such good shape after having kids. I'm in my early 20s have no kids and I think your stomach is flatter than mine! Anyway, I wanted to give you a tip about your hair extensions. It looks like you have Great Lengths, but they aren't quite blended well. You should go to a girl named Chris at The Lab in Beverly Hills, she is the best at hair extensions, and she cuts and blends them flawlessly.

"Simon had full control" Did you just realize that? As an outsider looking in I see alot of things you may not see. Be very careful he's more in control than I think you realize. One more tip Dont forsake your child for a man. You can always replace the man but you can never replace the child. Hint:When Simon said something about a girlfriend during your birthday party it was disrespectful and just maybe you should look into that.

Hi Tamra,
I hope you enjoyed your 40th birthday party on your husband's yacht. Not many women, or people, get to celebrate their special birthdays on a yacht, so I think you should show more appreciation than you do. You live the life that most women could only dream of, you're able to stay at home, work a job "only" if you want to, and enjoy the riches of your husband's wealth from hard work. In numerous instances, both parents "have" to work to provide for their family, so your unappreciation, excessive materialism, and lack of compassion is a travesty. Finally, to be upset that God has blessed you with 40 years, is so sad. I should remind you that the most beautiful woman in the world, Halle Barry, is 40, but what is most beautiful about her, is her heart, her genuine kindness, and her humble nature, which is nothing I've seen in you.

Instead of Botox you need to look into MesoDerm. With all the injections your are getting it is going to make your face feel dead in 6 years then it will look really bad.

You DO NOT need a facelift! I have been a plastic surgery OR nurse for years and I can tell you that you would have that drawn, pulled, shiny face you are afraid of. Nothing wrong with the botox. Try some microdermabrasions, they help bring out the youthfulness in your face. Youre gorgeous girl!

I'm only a couple of years younger than you and also a mom. I think one thing that I would say to you is just be yourself and don't worry about little things like wrinkles. (You don't seem to have any anyway.) Besides, you're injecting yourself with poison. Read about Botox before you get another injection. A doctor isn't going to tell you this since he wants your business. I think as a mom we have to be careful and take care of our bodies inside and out so that we can be around for our kids. Please just consider this for next time.

Tamra. Please lay off the Botox. It looks like it's almost painful for you to smile. You'd probably look better and younger without so much make up, fake tan and plastic appearance. So what if you are 40? By trying to make yourself look better and younger, you are actually doing the opposite. It seems that you are jealous of Quinn - true? If so, is it because she looks natural and looks like she's 35? You seem like you'd be fun to go have drinks with but also that you need to be the center of attention. You made a comment in a recent episode that your new boobs were so that you wouldn't look like a "hoochie mama." Ummm.....what about the clothes, hair and makeup? And I don't see a difference in the boob size. It's weird to see all these people posting how great you look. You should definitely tone it down.

I don't know what show you are watching but the Tamra that I see on tv is very appreciative. She is not near as materialistic as you say. Do you realize that the show is "edited" and that they pick and choose what gets aired. It really sounds like you are bitter because you don't live the lifestyle that she does and that you have to work. Yes she is very fortunate that she can afford to stay at home. Her job allows her to make her own hours. Go get your real estate license and then you can make your own hours. Yes God has blessed her with 40 years, 4 great kids and a great husband as well. You don't know what she has gone through in her life, so just be happy for her that she can relax and enjoy the life that GOD has blessed her with.

Yes there are alot of people who only dream about living the life she has and having special birthday parties on a yacht. It sounds like you are bitter because you have to work a 9-5 job and her job allows her to make her own hours. All you have to do is get your real estate license and you too can make your own hours. You can not pinpoint her as being materialistic. She doesn't brag about owning 4 houses, or nine cars etc... Do you have any idea what she has gone through in her life? She is in the prime of her life now and she is living it the way it should be lived. God has definitely blessed her with 40 years, 4 great kids and a great husband as well. So go with your life and if you want to make it better, then you know what to do..Good Luck.

Enjoy your 40's, absorb all that life offers you, and stay that silly young goofy 20 year old...I did. I love being sllly. I wasn't able to have children, but I get silly with my neices and nephews each time we're together. I love to watch them laugh and enjoy the time we spend together. It's an awesome feeling. I'm not as young, or nearly as pretty as I use to be, but my husband loves me for me, and my friends and family enjoy spending time with me. That is what life is about.

Tamra,
Thank you for sharing your B reduction experience on the show. So many of us fell into the same trap in OC...getting implants that were too large for our bodies and now wanting to make a change. I admire your spunk and empathize with the struggles with your son. I am a year younger than you, have a son a year younger than yours, and am dealing with many of the same issues as you.

I have to remind myself all the time, that my 'precious baby' (lol) is an adult and needs to enter into manhood. That required permission from himself to move on from things as a child and wierdly enough, permission from me (in the form of gentle coaxing, acceptance, and love). I'll explain. The most difficult part (as you probably know) is separating ourselves emotionally from them and letting go so they can be men while at the same time not withdrawing our deep love for them. I make certain to tell my son how much I love him and that we will never lose that special bond that was formed in a special circumstances, ie., teen single mother, absent father, and the extraordinary emotional attachment and protectiveness that developed between us.

One thing I saw on the show that blared out at me like a neon sign was how much Ryan loves you and how conflicted you are about how to treat him (this was my relationship with my son last year). I felt pressure from my husband to get tough with my son. I felt conflicted myself about how to go about this and like you I thought toughness included making disparaging comments about my son's choices and sarcasticaly saying that I would disown him, etc., This just made the situation worse. I was doing this and it was so devastating to my son and I recognize the same pain in your son's face.

Lately, I have been encouraging a healthy emotional, financial, and physical separation from my son while at the same time reminding him that I will NEVER remove him or demote him from his special position in my life and in my heart. Husbands need to understand that the experience we had as teen single mothers of our sons had such a profound effect on who we are as adults. We in effect 'grew up' with our babies and the detachment process needs to be handled with great love and care. This doesn't mean that we should enable them out or do things out of guilt, no way. It took me a while to understand this. From watching the show, I think your son is begging for you to tell him that he will never be demoted in your heart NO MATTER WHAT HE DOES. And, that you appreciate the burdens he carries for example, maybe he feels that he needed to be man of the house at a young age and then he was replaced, etc, and was never able to process his confusion and conflicts about it correctly?

It has taken several heartfelt loving discussions alone with my son to find out what is holding him back from flying the nest. I also think that your husband loves you so much as well. He is much like mine, ultra responsible and in charge. But, our hubbies need to be sensitive to the delicate nature of the situation, be supportive, and not try to 'fix' everyone. I believe acceptance and love are the keys, and just say no (with a smile, a hug, and a kiss) to enabling, and never threaten or take away that special position he holds in your heart and in your life.
~Take care :)

I think the party your husband threw you was fabulous. I taped the show and want my husband to see the party Simon threw for you. Our lives are similar in a some ways. I am 31 and I have an eleven year old son from a previous relationship. My husband and I have been married for three years and are now thinking of having children of our own. You seem to have made a beautiful life for yourself. You are a lot of fun and have a youthful spirit. You make 40 look fabulous. The watch Simon gave you was breath taking, and yes you deserve it. I'm hoping to get one of the those down the road. Your dress was great where did you get it? I do live in Philadelphia but maybe I could find it through the designer.

There is nothing wrong w/lifts when you need them but it sounds like the dr. is money hungry. Just stay w/botox for the time being. Evidently the boob job went well Mine need removing just because they are getting old but will definantley have another set put in although smaller. You women are doing the right thing by exercising and keeping the rest of body tight along with the "girls". I want to be nosey and ask (although I'm sure I won't get an answer) about the 3 Fluer De Lis accesories you usually have on your kitchen island. I am into the symbol and they always catch my eye.

Tamra,
You look fabulous at 40! No worries! I just turned 40 and don't look it or feel it- I was blessed with good Irish genes!! I wasn't too sure how I felt about you at first but your attitude, zest and zeal is growing on me...and more than anything, THAT is what keeps us young! I thought at first you might be a bit shallow, but having lived in socal for several years myself, you kind of get sucked into that lifestyle..it's true....but I really do believe you understand what is most important in life and that would be family, friends and loved ones and it is evident to me that this is a priority for you. Simon is interesting..he seems very emotionally reserved at times but I think below the surface he is a very loving, emotional and sensitive man who deeply loves his wife and family. I like him, he has a sweetness to him. I hope Ryan gets his life, priorities in order..it's a tough age, the bridge between adolescence and adulthood and I feel for him. Some kids get it right away, and for others, it takes more time. He'll eventually "get it" as soon as he realizes that life is a challenge, nothing comes for free and you and Simon won't always be willing to help him out. I think that once he gains some independence he will really relish it, respect himself and not want help from mom and Simon. One would hope. At some point you have to just say enough is enough, time to grow up and be your own man. Being a mom myself, I think besides the toddler years, teenage years, that part is so hard...getting them out of the house and out into the world. You need to get tough with Ryan. So there's my two cents, for what it worth!!
I wish you all the best, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the show!

I think Tamra is right to be tough with Ryan. He needs to grow up. He seems spoiled with a huge sense of entitlement. Simon has pulled strings to get him into a training program and a job and he is ungrateful and has made nothing of the opportunity. A more deserving and enterprising young man would have taken the ball and run with it. His tattoos will handicap him in life and are ugly and ridiculous.

He is very thoughtful and loving. along with that he is intelligent, ambitious, and what a cutey. Love it, clean cut, one who surprises you with his hobbies, the bike, the boat whew! I like those toys. Good for you and your children. I am very happy to hear, the oldest is moving out, to spread his wings and maybe find some maturity. Let's hope so. I hope there will be a season 4 and you will return, botox, bilini and all

Tamra,
I think you give the other girls another level to build on.
You are so much like me, it's scarey.
Though, not from OC, from Rochester, NY, but have an older son, and 2 little ones, a year apart. I was in Sales, but home now w/kids. However, I do not feel 41. Feel 30, and I am fortunate that compared to others in their 40's and some 30's, I look pretty good. Would love to meet u, you seem like a great and sincere person who holds nothing back , keep it up.

I do enjoy this show, but I really dont see any type of charity. I can not understand the purpose in ownng a $40,000 watch. I would love to know if any of these ladies think of anyone other than themselves. Do they help anyone at all. I volunteer for the SPCA and foster animals. I also work and take care of my home and family. I also dont expect anything in return.

Hi Tamra, I just want to say I love you on the show. But what happened with buying the yacht? I live in Newport Beach and know for a fact the Pardiso is still FOR SALE and has been for a LONG time.
a litle birdy told me that there is a lot of problems with that boat. probably a good move if you did back out. I love your watch you are one lucky girl. You have a great husband and I hope to see you on season 4. OC GIRLZ ROCK!

Okay now I totally want to be you! HA! You looked beautiful on your birthday and the Rolex OMG!! You go girl!!! And your right you do deserve it!! After all you gave Simon 3 beautiful children, not to mention your beautiful son Ryan who you brought into Simons life (even tho Simon is a tad jealous of him) and you take great care of yourself and you have a career and take care of your home are you kidding me you should be dripping in diamonds girl! HA! Anyway you will love your 40's (the best time of my life) and please do NOT!! leave OC the show will suck! Just ignore all the haters on your blog anyone with a brain would be jealous of you!

Tamra...

I too just turned 40 (on 1/16) you and I favor each other quite a bit (blonde, I am 5'8, 115 pds) your breast implants, however, are much bigger than mine :) but I have been told as you, that I look pretty hot for 40. Even our style is the same, only mine is more of a Dallas style. I am very happy for you and Simon and it seems that ya'll got it goin' on...but your SON!! OMG...what a freakin' spoiled brat. Girl...take my advice, you need to get him out of your house before it destroys your marriage!

I know that he is your son and you love him with all of your heart, but he is old enough to make it on his own, everyone else does. It appears to me that he is trying to cause issues in your home and more over your marriage to Simon. If he were younger, I would not have even written this entry, but he is not younger...I guess what I am saying is...what type of "man" doesn't have a job, no cash flow...no money and he spends money on a tattoo (garish) and $400 jeans...I call BS on that!

He is playing you...you need to get him out before he costs you more than you are willing to lose...just saying, ya know??

Not "preaching" but I know what I see...

You seem to have it all the HOT husband the beutiful kids the gorgeous body and LOADS of money and shiznits you have a $40,000 rolex watch . Helllo I can almost pay off my 100 year old 3000 sq foot home with that.
I actually started to cry when he gave that watch to you because , our family is just struggiling now, I know you appreciated that watch but my goodness you already had one not to mention all the BLING BLING you already had on.
Im happy for you just very invious , all I want to do is make my 4 kids happy and keep them involved with travel sports . Your husband seemed just concerned with what George thought of the watch and not how you felt about it. I wouldnt say you guys were Phony people , its just a BLING competition and with all the money you have I guess I dont blame you. IMe and my husband like watching the show, this is just the first time it really hit me like that.
You guys are great and keep that carefree attitude up if your ever in INDY Id love to party with ya , I cant say Id kiss ya like VIcky did haha but we could have a good time.

im glad that you are getting firm with your son as he needs it he is taking advantage of the love you have for him and testing you ...Simon is right and im glad you finally gave him the right when i saw that scene simon looked so surprised and happy that you finally said he was right and from there on he has been backing you happily , i think that was a smart move on your part and if you both work together with ryan i think you will get the message across to him...doesnt mean you dont love your son as its very apprent you do but loving him is one thing and teaching him is another so good luck and i hope you continue to draw the line

Hi Tamra,

I think that your husband is the nicest, most sincere honest man I have ever seen on TV....you have no idea how lucky you are and wish you both nothing but the best! There are times when I watch him on the show I sense a bit of sadness but other than that he is a real Gem!!! I was wondering if he had a brother who is just like him because if he does, I'd like to meet him!

TaTa,
As I endearly refer to you.... I feel compelled to write due to the reason that you and I are the same age, and I, too, have a 19 year old son. He is a full time college student, studing premed, however, my "new" husband has forbid him from moving back into our home after spring semester. I mean, I do not have the words in my heart or the emotion to tell him. I am in a major dilemma....What would you do. Oh, and by and by, he has never really been too motivated to do "labor" as, we too, have a bio dad with mega bucks who finances his lifestyle, however, he feels at home with me. Please write back, you have my email. Could really use some been there advice. Much love to you.
You look fab, and I think megaderm is a better option, we have similar complexions and I think it is a more refined, less "scared straight" effect. Love and best wishes, Janie

I will have to say I applaude you. Being a new mom is probably the hardest job especially raising a family and trying to find time for a social life. But you look great for 40. You are very beautiful and I was shocked when you revealed your real age. I am right now learning to be a house wife and it's one of the hardest jobs but rewarding moments. Thank you for inspiring those many women whose jobs are not appreciated as being a care taker.

I am a 25-year-old housewife from New York with one beautiful little girl and a great husband. My husband is not as sucessfull as yours and i can admit, im jealous of all you have. However, I also think that you are someone i would be able to hang out with. You dont let all the money get to your head and you are so dedicated towards your family. It makes me smile when i see you out drinking with the girls because it really reminds me of myself. I guess what im trying to say is, never let that "down to earth" attitude slip away. You've got spunk and you look like you know how to have a good time, without being judgemental towards other people who may not have as much as you....cant wait for next season!! p.s. Looking at you, I cant wait to be 40!!

Tamra,
I'm sorry but you get on my nerves almost as much as Vicki. I admit you have a great body, but your personality is horrible. Furthermore, if you want to make it in the business world, skip coctails at lunch with clients. Your comments regarding your body were both hysterical and outrageous. You basically admit that's the only thing that helps sell houses. What will you do a few years from now. Believe me, you are far from the prettiest housewive in O.C. You are second to last only to Vicki.

Great role model for your children. You sponge off your husband, and your grown son sponges off you.....sweet! You should check yourself, you are not that cute. Does your fake hair, fake boobs and fake life mean anything at all? Why are you even on that show - the other girls have way more class than you.

Tamara,

I have watched this show since it started and have always loved it.. You were a great addition to the show, the only thing is..........Your attitude how how HOT you are ... sucks!!!!! Everyone of those women on that show are just as pretty as you are. You need to stop and really think about how you talk about yourself on the show.. I just laugh and so do all my friends about how hot you think you are. Cool it on your looks and how fabulous you look. People can see that they don't need you reminding them every time you watch the show. Other than that you have a great personality and are a pretty old lady...LOL, i just turned 40 as well so I am just kidding.. I actually love 40, I have a 21 year old like you and a 18 year old and my husband and I are so glad we had them young we have been married almost 22 years now and its our time now to enjoy life more without the work you have when the kids are young. Our two kids are our best friends and we have so much fun with them even more so than when they were younger. I have been a stay at home mom but became a realtor like you about 10 years ago. I tried to do it part time and it turned into full time so I put my license in escrow so I could devote my time to my family but I still do referrals.. if I have anyone coming your way I will refer them to you....
Enjoy your 40's I know I am.. Life is wonderful.

I am betting if Bravo keeps you its only to mock you again. Run circles around Jeanna, Please do you even know what a circle is? You were so unprofessional with your clients and you act more like a 14 year old than a 40 year old. You made way too big of a deal, you were only FISHING for compliments. How appropriate your party was on a boat. Stupid is as stupid does and I can't wait to see your NEW ATTITUDE next season, IF>>> the keep you on. Show some class please.

I have watched the show from the very first episode and think you do a lot for the program. The only thing that makes me mad is how short the season is for the show. It seems like there are only six or seven shows each year. I sure wish the network would air about 12 shows at a minimum! I love the show!!

You looked great at your party. You have a wonderful figure and I was so impressed that you went to smaller implants. You've got a great handle on your body and how you look to others. I wish that I had that ability.
The only piece of advice that I would give would be to stop tanning. The damage that you're doing to your skin will ruin all the work you put into looking young and youthful. 40 is not old but you'll start to look much older very quickly if you don't eliminate tanning. Have you considered spray tanning?

So fun, hysterical, gorgeous, hot body, forget all the haters that are out there trying to make you insecure, just know it for what it is, you work hard on keeping yourself up as we all do (at least you admit it, that's being real) it is hard work to keep your body and face youthful as you get older.
