Got to Be Real

Marysol discusses the oddities of being in front of the camera, and wishes her castmates good luck.

Feb 23, 2011

It is so hard to believe and incredibly surreal that the first episode of The Real Housewives of Miami has finally aired!

On Monday night, we held an incredible premiere party at the legendary Eden Roc Renaissance Miami Beach. The one and only fabulous Andy Cohen came down to Miami for it, and my mother and I adored meeting him. All the girls were there except for Larsa, who unfortunately had a prior commitment that made it impossible for her attend. She was definitely missed by all (Hi Larsa!).

Now, on to the premiere episode: It was definitely an odd feeling, seeing myself on camera as I am usually behind the scenes as a publicist and owner of a PR company (The Patton Group). I went into this experience with an open mind and heart to take a journey with some women whom I have known for years and some that I did not know at all.

Along the way I made some friends and found myself confused about the behavior of others. I was raised to be polite and keep all comments and thoughts of disdain to myself. Perhaps I will not be the most vocal/typical housewife that viewers have seen in the past, but I certainly did my best to be slightly entertaining through self-deprecating humor.

I'm often asked about my experience during filming and I look back now and am amazed that I was able to find the time and energy run my company and find time to film. For some that may sound like a silly comment, but if you are in the public relations and events industry then you know how demanding this job is, and that it is essential to be on call 24/7. When I realized I could do it all it, I had an amazing feeling of accomplishment.

Although we all filmed separately for the majority of the time and are all in the dark as to what will be revealed from our cast mates as the show goes on, I wish all five of my castmates Alexia, Lea, Cristy, Adriana, and Larsa all the best in the world.

May this journey keep us all pure and real.

Hi Marysol, hope we get to see a lot more of you and your mom together. She looks like a lot of fun. Good luck with the show.

ITS HARD TO TALK TO MOMS ABOUT SEX - YOUR MOM DID A GOOD JOB TRYING TO LET YOU KNOW YOU ARE WOMEN NOW, SHE WANTS YOU TO KNOW ITS REAL AND RELEVANT IN RELATIONSHIPS AND YOU CAN SHARE THESE THINGS. SHE LOVES YOU AND THAT WAS A CUTE SCENE YOU WENT FROM BEING A WOMEN TO MOMMA'S LITTLE GIRL ALL SHY.

I think you are going to be great! Cannot wait to get to know you better Marysol.

Hi I really liked you on the show and you are a great boss I can tell by the way your employees where relax with you. I like you and your mom. She is a typical Cuban lady. Good Luck with the show and your relationship and be nice to the fans!!

Marysol Patton is the best of all, She is classy, elegant, intelligent and she have a very succesfull P.R firm , she is a self made Entrepreneur! All that she has done is in her own !! not any rich husband !! I admire her a lot ! And the mother is great !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You are my fav! Also, I love your mother!

Your mom is a hoot! I have a feeling she is going to become the 7th housewife...

I LOVE YOUR Pink dress you had on when visiting your mom. I want one! any chance you can dish on where to get it. the one with stripes on the bottom. you looked great and i want one just like it! thanks!

good luck Marysol! hope this venture brings you lots of positive things in your life!

Marysol, When I heard you were going to be on the show, I was hopping you made us Cuban-american women look good, and you seem to have accomplished it. Of all the housewives you are my favorite.and in many was like the majority of fabulous cuban-american women from Miami. Unlike the plastic, barbie-Cuban... you are a intelligent, self made career woman.

We are proud you took the risk of being on the show..

You are a sweetheart and your mom a true character. You two will be fun to watch, already are!

I actually liked you and your mom. I think u need to lay off the plastic surgeon - but you were both enjoyable.

So far I like you the most. You seem real and genuine. I hope my first impressions are right on. Good luck!

Hey Marysol, I wanted to tell you that your fiance' seems really nice and adores you. Don't pay any attention to what any one else say's. Unfortunately, sometimes people that are not "in love" or "happy" don't like seeing others that are. I'll bet your Mom can get to know your fiance' and let you know his intentions. When you simply shake someone's hand you can feel their spirit or soul. If they are good, you'll feel happy and at ease. If not, you'll feel confused and uneasy around them. Life's short, so just be happy and enjoy life. Take care. xoxo

Congratulations on the show Marysol! I'm looking forward to the season and you came off as extremely likable and funny. I love business women (like myself) and I hope they focus on you running your business as well as your extremely gorgeous fiance' :)

marisol of the housewives i think you and alexia are my favorites the other ones are just young wives married to rich athletes i respect a woman that is independent good luck

I love ya!!!! you are my favorite housewife. You are sucessful and very natural when it comes to filming, some of the other girls look like they try to hard. I hope you stay drama free!

You seem like a real sweetheart, and I LOVE your mom!! Hopefully the show gets more interesting because some of the other ladies made the first episode a snooze-fest!

Please continue being polite. BH got so classless it was hard to watch by the end.

Your Mom is a character. I applaud your work but why no men in the office? Why don't you have your own office? It looked like a telemarketing office to me. No offense intended. I don't know if your firm is new possibly to explain that.

I have to rewatch the show as I didn't recall that you were engaged but I do recall that you enjoy younger men. Nothing wrong w/that! ;)

Please stop w/the botox. You're beautiful but your face doesn't move. I'm sure you are prettier w/some movement in your face. I think Miami has more botox than LA!

I wish you the best. You & Lea seem ok & I look forward to how the season progresses compared to how BH hit the skids. Classless by the end of the season. Keep Miami looking good. Good luck this season.

Marysol, Please tell the producers that if this show is going to make it there needs to be more of your mother. You know as well as I do that the gay community controls the ratings with these shows. We love your mother. Hellooo, Who is it? I almost fell out of the chair laughing. I have tons of older cuban friends and they always make me appreciate laughter. She is getting alot of attention in the media right now. Go for it. You are the favorite so far.

Marysol, Hello! Thank you for sharing your life with us. LOVED the visit to your mom's house. She appears to be a firecracker. I cracked up when you said that people come to your mother because she can pick up things, YET when you came to the door she asked who it was and then seemed surprised it was you even though a camera crew was in her house. And then she claimed to be clueless about Phillipe. Seeing you two interact was so sweet. Her asking you "what's wrong with me?" and then saying she is not a victorian lady made me smile. You are very lucky to have a funny, fun loving mother. The two of you seem to have a wonderful relationship. Seriously that part of the show was my favorite.

Hi Marysol! Along with Alexia, I think you will be the most mature lady on the show in terms of staying away from drama and immature gossip. Also, your mother needs to start writing her own blog right now! She seems like a very interesting and eccentric person ;)

YOUR MOM NEEDS HER OWN SHOW..SHE IS HILARIOUS..MAKE IT HAPPEN BRAVO

Marysol, I LOVED the green dress that you wore to Lea's event, just beautiful! You looked stunning! I hope that we get to see more of your mother!

Marisol,

Your impression of your mother is tooooo funny! LOL, Andy is incapable of love. She must be proud you are lovely and classy.

p.s. you definitely remind me of Adrienne and that is a GOOD thing

Dear marisol just wanted to say that you looked very pretty in the green dress loved your hair i wish i lived in miami to met you and your mom she is so funny by the dway to the person that made the comment why you dont have man in your office more power to you to consider that now a days women are as smart and capable as man does and not having a private office just let us viewers knowthatyouareaery down to earth boss who does not put airs of grandiosity and work side by side with your employees, I wish happiness in your relashionship please tell bravo that your mother needs to participate more in the show she is charater.

I actually like you Marysol. You have class and I wish you the best of luck on the series. You represent what women should be.

Very classy lady. Great personality.Not too over the top and very normal. great mother daughter relationship. P.S. your mom is so entertaining! My favorite housewife so far.

Your are this season's FAVORITE so far!

Hi Marysol,

You look great!! Being a latina as yourself Your mom reminds me of my aunt. I think almost every latino has a relative such as your mom. Who can resist that humor! LOL. Your mom is the best, a straight shooter. She really has done an excellent job with you, she should be proud! You also should take a bow. From what I have seen, you have the most class from the cast. Your green dress was beautiful!! Good luck with your engagement! You guys are a beautiful couple. Love, Love, Love to see latina women succeeding. I'm looking forward to seeing the show and watching your mom!

I love your mom. She is so entertaining and I think they should have her on every week.

Marysol,

Tu eres mi favorita. You have so much class and grace and I love your mom, she has a great personality and sense of humor. I hope she gets more camera time. As a latina myself I must say you represent us very well. I admire your independance unlike the other ladies on the series you do not rely on a man for income. Your mom is such a bonus on the show, cant wait to watch the rest of the season play out.

This entry shows a lot of class. You seem like a super likable person, and your relationship with your Mom is adorable!

love your mom, funnnnnnnny

Marysol, you are my FAV of the Miami housewives! And I'm hoping you can help me! My great-uncle was a HUGE socialite in Coral Gables/Miami Beach back in the 60's/70's, very rich. His name was David E. Hawkins (We called him "Uncle Buddy"). When he passed away in 1979, he was living on Collins Ave. in a condo. My parents cared for him in whenever he became ill. They would bring him back to NC. Before living in Miami Beach, he lived with his wife Margaret in Coral Gables. "Uncle Buddy" had SEVERAL huge photo albums filled with photos of him with many different people at formal events, many celebrities. I would love to know more about his glamorous life. Can you PLEASE ask some of the older socialites in the area if they remember David "Buddy" Hawkins? My parent inherited most of what he had because they did take care of him. In his things, were LOTS of photo albums filled with 8x10 photos of Uncle Buddy at formal events, always in a tuxedo, with different people, many celebrities. I was only 14 when he passed away in 1979. I would really love to know more about him and his lifestyle! He ran away from home in NC at a very early age and changed his name. I always admired him. I've not been able to get answers from family. After Aunt Margaret died, he became a bit of a playboy. When he would come up for a visit, he would bring a "girlfriend". And so help me, when I saw your mother on the show, I honestly thought she was one of them! But then, when thinking of the time span, I realized that there's no way she could be old enough. This would have been back in the mid 70's! It would be SO great if you or your mom would know someone who could give me ANY info on my "Uncle Buddy"! Either way, you'll always be my favorite housewife and I'll love your Mom!

We love-love your Mother and you too!! You two keep it alive!! Love you both!!

We love you on the show - your Mother is wonderful hope to see more of her!! Congratualtions on your success! Can't wait to see more!

Hi Marysol, you are very very classy and I love the relationship you have with your mother. I am 100% Portuguese and seeing you and her together reminds me of our own culture. Stay classy and congratulations on your engagement beautiful.

Love your mom. Please tell us more about her. Marisol, you are lucky to be surrounded with people who have the gift of story and language. You and Pierre are great to watch together. He speaks beautifully to you, very romantic.
