Hello everybody. Glad to be back.
I love to blog as it gives one a chance to put some things straight...and there was something in this episode that bothered me and needed explaining: it was the issue of Kim calling Martin. Now, of course, normally a woman wouldn't be expected to call after a blind date, but this was different.
The party was absolutely fabulous, and we all had a ball. Champagne was flowing, and at the end of the evening it was determined that as Kim lived about 45 minutes drive from Mohammed's she shouldn't drive home. So Martin, who is one of the kindest people on this planet, with his friend following driving Kim's car (so that she would have her car in the morning), drove for an hour-and-a-half at one o'clock in the morning. I thought it warranted a phone call at some stage to at least Martin, not his friend, but to thank them for their trouble. Kim didn't agree, but I know Martin would've appreciated it...end of story (but possibly the end of story for Martin and Kim). Maybe she will have more luck with Single Gary from the market!
I loved the segment with Taylor at the crisis center. That is one of the amazing things about being in this forum, the fact that it really gives you a chance to draw attention to the things that are important to you. I sat and watched her struggle with her speech, trying desperately to hold it together. There seems to be so much unhappiness in Taylor, and I can't quite comprehend whether it is her current situation, or her past. Only time will tell.
Oh yes, I take my hat off to Kyle. I wish I had gone to Napa to support the bike ride. We were all so busy at the time, but it was an incredible achievement. And that, as I said is one of the reasons that being involved in this arena can be so positive and allow you to contribute to these charities. For Kyle, as I know her mother died of breast cancer, this event was dear to her heart.
Finally, I was really relieved to have my driving license. I had been dreading this test, and was amazed that I actually passed. I knew I would put it off again and again, as I have been driving for five years on an international license, with the thought of studying this book and finding the place so unappealing. It was funny to be in that situation with all that it entailed, memorable to say the least!
Anyway thank you for your comments, next week gets really tricky, so keep watching!
Love always, Lisa
Lisa, you are the definitoin of class. You do have a little harsh critisizm, as most british/ european people do, but thats what makes you, you! And your outfits are always so on point and elegant. You have the most amazing friends, and you have the nicest things. You act a bit snobby at times, but I still like you. You are def. one of my favorites...I see you throwing Jabs at Taylor and Kim. Kim I can understand, you cant fault Kim because she is real, even in her ghetto way. I feel like you set her up, but to fail. You knew that Martin and Kim would not really hit it off, you knew they were exact opposite, yet you still set her up for failure. And you could have told what to wear (a more elegant dress or something) if you invite friends to a party like that, you should have rented a limo so all could have gotten home safely. You being the rich woman you are should have known that.
I agree with you on Kim should have called Martin - it's not as if he had to, it's not as if she lived around the corner ... 90 minutes at 1.oo am is something to be extremely thankful for especially if you were in no condition to drive and especially if someone was going out of their way to be kind to you. It's not as if you were expecting her to ask Martin out with that phone call. It was a simple courtesy that should not have had to be asked for at all.
That being said, with the antics seen this week with Single Gary and the story of the 6 kids and the nursing baby were beyond bizarre to me but I am sure that is just me. However I do feel Martin if he is out of that picture is the lucky one. He has fish in a different sea than the pond Kim is in waiting for him.
Thank you for the warning of next week's drama - many of us like RHoBH because of the absence of the diva drama however it seems that one character cannot let anything go. To each his own.
We truly enjoy every segment you and Ken appear in on this show. You are both always so gracious, so funny, so warm and so real - it truly shows this version of RH would be lost and empty without you.
Have a splendid week - I'm sure the comments section will be burning up next time.
Lisa, I think that you are correct, Kim should have called or sent a note thanking Martin and his friend for their kindness but she does seem to be scatterbrained at times. I thought the guy at the DMV who spoke to you was funnier then anything and that you handled the situation well. You are so witty and I love your sense of humor. I enjoy watching you and Kyle on the show. Cheers to you.
OMG, I know you live in a different world being from "Beverly Hills." But really, your attitude last night about the "eclectic" people in the DMV office was offensive not to mention it showed what a class A snob you are. You've separated yourself from the rest of Los Angeles, uhg? Well good for you. Remember, L. A. is known as the Melting Pot. You are a part of that same pot. Keep ignoring us eclectics and soon enough it will be just "you" and the gangbangers left. Let's see what happens when there is no buffer in between.
I shared your comment with my coworkers this morning and your statement about promising the guy he had you mistaken with someone else spoke volumes.
I hope your world never cease to exist. You would blend in very well with others.
Stay rich!
Lisa, Your quips are hilarious. You have a great sense of humor. Also, I love your dresses with the roses up the shoulder. They are beautiful and very flattering. Your long diamond necklace is so unique. I have never seen one like it. You are by far my favorite Housewife. I wish I knew you!!!
Lisa, you are so my favorite housewife ever! I love your wit, class and laugh. You are one of a kind and make the whole show what it is.

I agree 110%, Kim should of called to say thank you, the fact she doesn't see it that way says a lot about her character, I would never ever set her up again. You did a great thing, and I thought Martin was adorable, a very typical British man looking out for the lady. Good job Lisa, I think you're a gem.
Lisa, love you the most (as many do) of all the housewives. Thank God the other girls have you -- I agree that Kim should have, at a minimum, called to thank Martin for the ride home. Kim strikes me as a very weak person, a woman who needs a man to give her strength. I think she falls apart at the drop of a hat. I cringe when she is featured within the show. Hope she gains confidence and realizes she absolutely does not need a man, now that her daughters are adults (or most of them).
Love to your doggie!
Lisa, I agree with you that Martin's generosity and concern deserved an acknowledgement. I'm disappointed in Kim that she did not feel the same way. I have a hard time believing that Kim and Kyle are sisters. They seem to be so different when it comes down to what's important. Taylor has done a wonderful thing by supporting the DV shelter. It is important that this subject stays on the forefront, as it continues to happen regardless of the attention that it gets. Congrats on getting your driver's license and keep on blogging!
I was suprised at how uncomfortable you were at the DMV. Its not like you were in a 3rd world country. Maybe you should get out of Beverly Hills more - see how the other half lives.
Kim does not deserve another date with Martin. I agree with you 1,000%!
Love you, Lisa. You so gracious and beautiful.
Lisa..... Just love when you are in the episode. I want to be your housemate!! I am very jealous of Cedric.
Martin seems like such a treasure! Kim is crazy not to be interested! Ms.Lisa please tell your friend Martin that there are thousands of women out there who think he is to die for! (Myself included)
Lisa, You are smart, funny, grounded and rapidly becoming my favorite housewife! I read recently that you reminded the writer of an English "Dixie Carter" from designing women. I totally agree. You bring such fun to the show and such a level head to the drama. Can't wait to see more, and see you driving around town;)
You are hilarious! I love watching you more and more on the show.
As for hounding Kim on calling Martin, after your explanation, yes, I completely agree that she should've called him and thanked him again at the very least!
Lisa~ I have never taken the time to write comments regarding reality television shows but you've caught me by surprise and I simply wanted to express my appreciation! Thank you for providing such class to a Real Housewives series. I started watching the NY show because a former classmate is part of the cast. Now, I enjoy catching episodes of the series when I am able. There tends to be much immaturity and vitriol among some casts in the various shows but you provide such a relief from your predecessors. I am thrilled you’re on the show as you're an incredible role model for your peers and people watching. You exemplify grace and prove that reality TV and drama do not always go ‘hand in hand’. You are quite simply a breath of fresh air with a wonderful sense of humor. You're a beautiful woman, have an adoring husband (wonderful marriage it seems), fantastic children, beautiful home and such cute pets! What a lovely life; even more lovely is your outlook, poise and etiquette. My other favorite is Kyle who, it appears on the show, is a close friend. You’re both really fun to watch. Best wishes, much continued success and happy holidays!
Lisa- have you been getting a lot of questions about single lady viewers about Martin? He is very cute ;-) Have you ever set up Martin before? I think Cedric needs a boyfriend- then he will be happy to move out.
Lisa, I just want to tell you that you are one of the reasons why I watch the show. You make the show very unique and you are very down to earth. I wish the ladies in the South were a little bit like you.
Lisa, I love how you handle everything with such class, decorum, and most importantly humor!!! You seem to be such a genuine spirit who deeply cares about those around you. Your children and husband (and of course your pets) are so blessed to have you in their lives.
When I heard you talking about your surroundings at the DMV I thought, wow what a snob! But then when I seen that guy, I think it was a guy, trying to talk to you I thought, wow what a lady, you were very diplomatic but did get your point across. Don't they have any DMVs in Beverly Hills?
Lisa. I really do love seeing you on this show. You are so funny. This episode with Cedric was hysterical, especially you leaving him and driving off. You probably want to do that often, perhaps you could drop him off in another upscale part of Beverly Hills and someone else could take him in?? On another score, you DO realize that you live and breath a VERY RAREIFIED air in Beverly Hills and that the Department of Motor Vehicles IS the REAL world, warts and all, don't you??? Not YOUR world but the REAL one where people don't have much money,don't dress like you, or drive what you drive. You did put the guy who was hitting on you in your place. I knew you would!
I have to say, I LOVE you and Kyle:) Both of you are classy, FULL of humor and manage to be "down to earth", while living a lavish lifestyle most of us just dream of. I look forward to yall each and every week:) Thank you for keeping the show interesting in other ways BESIDES the drama.
~Elisa
P.S. Congrats on the driving test! Tell Cedric to get his tush moving and pass the darn thing already! lol ;)
I may be old-fashioned (and I'm only 28) but I wouldn't have called Martin either, I think it shows he's a gentleman for driving an hour-and-a-half and part of 'courting' in my opinion. The man should call the woman, he should have called her if he was interested.
Lisa, you are a wonderful friend to all. I don't think you have a mean bone in your body. I agree Kim at least owed Martin a phone call, as he did go out of his way to make sure she got home safely and had her car the next day. I don't see her with Martin or with Single guy from the grocery store. Kim is complex and I think she will find Mr. right by accident and on her own.
Although I cannot believe that I am so invested in this reality series, I think you are terrific. You are a great friend, businesswoman, mother and wife. I don't know how you stay so grounded in this almost "make believe" atmosphere of California, but you do.
Best regards, Sharon
Kim should phone Martin. He seemed like such a great guy and waaaay better looking than single guy from market. She probably doesn't realize how good they looked together. She seemed happiest so far in that particular episode. Too bad she won't just pick up the phone and call Martin. He looks like he has been in films but I couldn't quite place him.
I COMPLETELY agree....Kim should've called Martin to say thank you. That is the polite thing to do....then, if he wants to call for a date, great!
Hi Lisa, I think you are and Kyle are the one's to look up to and I love you so much. You are fabulous darling. XOXO
Got to say I only watch this because of you.
So can being friends with other women be any tougher then it looks on TV? Not sure how you do it, but you always handle yourself with such class its a good lesson to other women on how to handle life you set.
That said, wow you see need a to lose your housemate. lol If you want some man candy, you can do better. :P
It was my birthday yesterday, which meant that I made my DH watch all of my favorite shows with me. Well, I must say he is now in love with Lisa, not only because of her beauty, but her humor, and the way she handled the guy at the DMV. He took the remote away from me and we watched the DMV scene about five times.
You are AWESOME!!! I just love everything about you. You make me smile, laugh, realize that there are still some really genuine people in this world that haven't allowed their money to destroy who they really are. You and your husband appear to have a brilliant relationship and he seems like just a wonderful man. *Smoooches* for Giggy too! :-)
I enjoy what you bring to the table in this RHBH ... you are quite the package - lovely, good mom & wife, funny and hard working. Love those side comments too.
Lisa, you are so fabulous in every way! Congrats on passing the written driving test! It was so funny when you pretended to drive off without Cedric, LOL. I do agree that Kim should have thanked Martin for driving her home....she's a very strange one...
What makes you think Kim didn't thank Martin and his friend profusely when they drove her (and her car) home that night? Exactly how many times would she need to say "thank you" before you would finally start to cut her some slack?
You are absolutley on point about Kim - thank you and a phone call would be nice, no matter what the outcome. It is always fun watching you ladies.
Kim isn't good enough for Martin, that was just rude. And I was shocked at the market guy she IS interested. She said she didn't need to be fixed up, wait...didn't she said in NY that she WANTED to be fixed up. What is Kim on??
You are ABSOLUTELY CORRECT, Lisa... Kim, without a doubt, should have phoned Martin to thank him for driving her home for what sounds like a substantial distance in the wee hours of the night. Goodness gracious. A lot of people went out of their way to make the evening special for her, to no avail. However, there is something ever so "off" about Kim. As you point out how Taylor appears forever unhappy (past or present circumstances...who knows), I believe Kim appears forever unhappy, too, but with a bit of an oddity attached. While she was downright rude in not phoning Martin to thank him (and his friend) for the ride, he is better off without her. Let's face it, something is wrong with the woman who does not get back in touch with a fab catch like Martin, and rather, randomly connects with some dude from the grocery store and proceeds to invite him to her home. And is proud of it. Hello??? ps...congrats on your driving test. That was a very funny scene. You are the BEST!!!
First. haHA!
Lisa, you own. And so does your husbo for that matter. My favorite housewife, especially with your accent. If you need another Sedrick, i'm in.
I agree with you Lisa. Martin extended a favor to Kim in driving her home and she should offer the courtesy of a thank you. She said on this episode that the man should call the woman, but in this case she should have taken the initiative. I am afraid if she can't be flexible in her beliefs she will miss out on a lot of opportunities at relationships.
You are my favorite Lisa! I love your sensibilities and your sense of humor. I also love Giggy and how much you love him. What a cutie. Thanks for being so grounded and normal in the LA environment! Love you!!
Please DMVs are deeply weird these days. If that man had approached me as he did Lisa, I would have been looking for a police man. Lisa rocks! And I agree that Kim should have called Martin. It is called good manners.
You are right Kim should have called Martin to thank him for his hospitality. However, I was somewhat offended by Lisa's snobbish comments in regards to the DMV. The people who inhabit the other parts of California are as deserving of respect as those that shop on Rodeo Drive. I loved Lisa but after watching the way she dismissively spoke to her housekeeper last week and the uncalled for comments about the "other" people at the DMV, I must say that I don't feel the exact same way.





I can't relate to how it must be for you to walk through this world, if you found the DMV that "unappealing". I've been to the DMV several times and it never occurred to me that the place or the people there were a problem.
