I was beyond shocked when I saw the renovations. I had been talking to Brad about renovating my apartment for 2 years. I really wanted to move, but I admit, I was a little lazy. It takes a lot of energy to move. My priorities are Allyson and Bobby. I was working at Zarin Home at the time, and just didn't have enough time to move. Brad knew this and really wanted to help me. He always means well. However, he was a little too enthusiastic and told the film crew to come to apartment and film him talking through some ideas he had. I approved it and was excited. I did not know he was actually going to move out all my furniture and personal items without us actually going through everything. In fact, our passports were still in our night tables. Thank goodness Bobby is perfect and remembered that. We had to ask the movers to bring back some personal items in the furniture. It was not a good way to start the project. The other problem was Brad had planned his annual month long trip to Morocco in August. He would not be here to supervise the critical part of job. He created the look I wanted, but Katelyn and the entire team at Zarin Home had to execute the plan in August alone. I was very frustrated.
I wish Alex and Simon had invited us over sooner for a consultation. I think they hired very professional people, but it always helps to have a decorator's eye look things over. I can't comment on the finished project until everyone sees it.
LuAnn gives Bethenny some dating tips, and she tells Bethenny to play the "damsel in distress." I can see LuAnn's point of view, but it sets women's rights back about 40 years, don't you think? I have a lot of tips on dating, but I will wait until someone asks my opinion first. Certainly, Bethenny has no problem finding dates.
Just a short comment regarding the charity event-You should have stood by Bethaney, she did the same for you when Ramona was tearing you down in front of her friends and Bethaney, she had your back.
You should do a lifestyle book. Everything from decorating-pets-children-marriage-party throwing-food- etc. And in it you should reflect situations in your life-sort of like an autobiography. You are a woman with class yet you are so down to earth and fun. You are not stuffy like a lot of upper class people are. You are my favorite on the show. I will read a book by someone who wears purple to a purple themed party. (that gesture shows manners and etiquette). Write a book for Jill fans.
Jill, you have always been a favorite of mine. You might be harsh at times but at least you tell people to their face and you're not a back stabber like Romona. She is just plain MEAN. I am a mother of a daughter with RA and I applaud what you've done. I will always be a fan of you!!
How can you talk about "gems" under the skin of other people's homes? You live in what I think of as New York blight, the huge, impersonal "modern" skyscrapers. Not one of the great buildings where the real society of New York lives. Taste is personal, and yours is 1980's drag queen. Hooray to Alex and and her great Brooklyn rehab!
Jill I love you so very much. You kill me... Tell it like it is...
Bethenny you should have beat miss I'm up here and your down theres butt..... Redneck it up girl..
ya'll are the greatest......... keep your girls in check and let them know how it is ........ love ya'll all your the best. I watch every week to see what is going on ....... I ain't never in all my life.... If having money gets these kind of friends... I don't know that i ever want any.. well maybe just a little it would make life a whole lot easier. I know that much. Keep doing what ya'll do and helping who you help thats what life is.
Totally unrelated to this episode, I am a 30 year old woman and after watching this show, I wish I had a jewish
mother like Jill. It's weird, I'm not jewish, there is just something about how motherly she is to everyone, even her puppy, that makes my heart melt. She is just the ultimate mother and her daughter (and Betheny) are so lucky!!!
Hi Jill
You and Bethenney are the only 2 with any class.
At social events, I always see you drinking diet coke. (Unlike the other housewives) Do you drink any alcohol at all?
Jill,
I was appalled by Mario's attack on you. For a man to come after a woman the way he came after you, he is not a man. Real men go toe to toe with other men. Obviously, he and Ramona would like to win as much as you would so please lets get real with being condensending for your want to win. I think you handled yourself as the classy lady that you are. In the business he is in, you would think that he and his wife would be less judgemental and look at the abundent flaws that they have.
HOLA JILL,
YOU ARE SO GREAT.. AND YOU MOTHER REMIND ME OF MY GRANDMOTHER WHO WAS VERY WISE ABOUT LIFE..I CAN'T WAIT STILL TOMORROW THE TENNIS GRAME.. I HOPE YOU BET MARIO ASS GOOD LUCK..
BELINDA FROM QUEEN
I love Gloria!! Wish they'd do more episodes with her in them. The world needs more Glorias - smart, direct, and straight to the point!
Would like to see you write a book about decorating. From the scenes on the show, your store looks fabulous. I plan to stop in the next time i'm in NYC.
I was very shocked by Mario's behavior. Looks like some of his wife's craziness is rubbing off on him. Gather your girlfriends and have your ladies game.
Hi Jill. I obviously don't know you personally, but from what I see on "the show", I really think you are a terrific person. I think your family is fabulous and your parents are true sweethearts. I adore the relationship you have with your mother and daughter. The episode when you said good-bye to your parents and then your daughter really hit home for me. I was born and raised in Jersey, but now live in Vermont. I miss not seeing my entire family every day, but I am doing just fine.
Jill, I am also very thankful for your dedication with helping the Arthritis Foundation. Your daughter is beautiful and hope she is doing well. I, myself, have done some research in this field and have found that an increase of glutathione can possibly help arthritis. When you have time, google "glutathione and arthritis" and you will find many articles to back this up.
Good luck and I look forward to seeing all of you women on Bravo!!
Jill, you're hilarious with an amazing personality. A good book to write would be handling the types of stress you handle while still maintaining good friends and a happy state of mind.
Jill you are the sweetest, most positive energy in the world. I love listening to you.
I laughed so hard when I saw Mario play tennis...is he seriously a tennis pro? Or is it just for the show?
When I saw him play I thought "bring it on dude". I could whip you anytime, and I play may 2 or three times a YEAR! I could beat him so easily. He's horrible and I have a pinched sciatc nerve. Lets Go! I am 47 and female. I would be laughing the whole time!
P.s I know you know a lot of people and I am looking for a job so if you know of a tennis pro position paying really big bucks and a house in the hamptons please let me know.
Jill, you are such a delight to watch. I wish the best to you and your beautiful daughter Allie. Allie, hang in there girl I hope and pray you aren't in any pain. You Your fun to watch. I loved when you went to Paris!
Bobby you are a true gentlemen, you know Jill can stick up for herself, but you always have her back. Kudos!
Jill,
I can not beleive how much of a baby Mario was at the Page Six party. I couldn't beleive how he was acting, and that Ramona just sat there and let him talk to you like that. I certainly hope you kick butt in the tennis match!
Hi Jill,
You, Bethany and LuAnn are my favorites too, thanks for what you're doing with bringing more awareness to arthritis. I suffer from Lupus and its no walk in the park, so thanks again.
Out of all the characters in this show I think that the only one that has "manners", "class" and is "down to earth" is Ramona's daughter.
jill
your fabulous
i love you (and bethany)- you 2 remind me of carrie and samantha sex & the city :)
xoxoxoxox
Jill,
You are so pretty, why do you always cover up your body with baggy clothes. Show off your body more!!!!!!!
Hi Jill I recently watched a rerun and saw where you said you are a 32G. Where do you get your bras? I am a 30GG and have a very hard time finding that size anywhere!! I usually have to special order from overseas in London. Us petite and busty got to help each other out.
Hello Jill,
I was thinking about your daughter's arthritis, and I recalled reading some passages in a book about foods which cause and aggravate arthritis, ... the nightshade vegetables such as tomatoes, eggplant, and white potatoes, which are high in lectins which cause fast white cell reproduction. The book is called, "Eat Right For Your Type" by Dr. Peter J. D'Adamo.
The book explains how the various blood types came into existence based upon the original 'O' blood type, when people started to migrate out of Africa to different parts of the world, and based upon their local food sources, blood types 'A', 'B' and 'AB' were created.
It's a very interesting, easy-to-read book, that simply explains and lists out the foods which are beneficial and harmful to our bodies, based upon one's blood type.
And it gives a number of examples of how people's conditions, such as obesity, diabetes, and arthitis, can be eliminated or minimized, when one follows the food guidelines. I used to have a sort of red rash across my cheeks for years and then I stopped eating things on my 'avoid list' and it completely disappeared. Just an example.
Check it out. I would be interested to know what you think, or if you decide to follow the guidelines, how it might impact Alison's health. I am a mother of twin 14-year olds, and I know that we mothers want our children to be happy and healthy!
Jill.
You look so much like my sister!. When I see you, I see her. We have not seen each other in 5 years, but do talk frequently on the phone. She is on the east coast,I on the west. I wish I could post her picture. She could be your identical twin. You are down to earth. I applaud your charity work. I too have RA. It is very well controlled, and I am very fortunate. Years ago the medical treatments were not available as they are today. Of course, when your child has a disease/condition is so very different/traumatic. I was ticked to say the least when Kelly said something to the effect, "That's cute." I don't really think she knew what she had said, but on the other hand why on earth would someone say that. I am not one to dissect people, I dont know any of you personally. However, had I been there and was able I certainly would have voluntered to be on your committe. Of course, I am not a celeb (LOL). Best of luck with your charity work and best wishes for your daughter's health. We look forward to watching.
Jill-Write a book about decorating! It is what you know. Love you on the show!
Mario needs to take his toys and go to the "time out" corner with the rest of the rude, little boys. Looks like he needs a little "attention"/detention?
Jill you kill me...LOL-thats a good thing! I absolutely love you... Your last blog about this week episode was too funny- you handled every body in the episode.
Mario was not cool- but I think you handled yourself exetremely well...
However, I would have to agree with Bethenny on the acid comment- your apt looks like Brad "took a hit of acid" when he designed your apt. But you like it and that's all that matters.
Hi Jill,
I must say that from the very beginning I liked you the best. You are a great person...with tons of tolerance.
I wanted to tell you that at that luncheon you had for your friends at your favorite designer, you came out in a black top, red long skirted "Indian Dress". It was gorgeous and you looked absolutely fabulous in it. I actually gasped when I saw you in it! I hope you bought that dress (I'm sure it was a fortune)but it was so special.
I too have a gay husband, besides my regular husband. We have the best times together! Instead of doing my house, he is doing my garden. I have the prettiest landscaped house around.
I love the show...you are great. Keep it up!
Jill...you remind me so much of my college friend Pam! She was from L.I. too and I loved her to death! I have to give you credit for being classy! Someone needs to teach Mario what personal space is. I found his actions to be quite threatening and I was proud of your husband for stepping in to make sure you were ok! Truthfully I don't know if I would have had enough wits about me to not deck him! Ramona indulges in his fantasy world way too much! Someone should let her know that he is not Brad Pitt...he is an average looking guy!! The two of them seem a bit full of themselves!
Hi Jill, your the best, I had a friend who was just like you,I live on long Island and hope to see you in the Hamptons for lunch one day, One of your best fan, winnie
Jill,
I love you, you have a beautiful family. You're mom is so full of wisdom. I would love to sit across from her for a cup of tea and let her give me some great advice like she did for Bethany. You're one of my favorites on the show and if you write a book I would love to read anything you write, but maybe some success tips would be great, or some behind the scenes tid bits.
Thanks and keep up the fabulousness! xoxo
Jill,
LOVE YOU!!! I love your honesty! I think you and Bobby have a beautful relationship!! I hope that you send Mario off the tennis court in a body bag!! LOL! Just kidding!
Jill, Everyone who has watched the show from the beginning knows that you are totally right that the tennis game was a girls thing. Mario only suggested a couples match cause u and Luanne kicked his obnoxious wifes behind last season! In the beginning I couldn't understand what the connection was with him and Ramona because he seemed polite, reserved and sane. Now I see they are peas in a pod. Did you notice he bugs his eyes out also! He was totally out of line at the page 6 party. Someone who runs a religious based company should never go out of their way to publicly belittle and ridicule another person. I was going to buy some of their long necklaces but now I have decided to look elsewhere. I hope u kick butt again!
Love you... keeing it real and I love that in people.
Jill,
I have to tell you that I do enjoy watching you whenever your scenes are on. I find comfort in just observing how comfortable you are in your own skin, with your friends and family. Bobby seems like a wonderful husband and like he truly does adore and cherish you.
Now for the negative. I could have pushed Mario off that roof for how much of a cretin he was. How absolutely boorish, crude, ignorant, and most un-gentleman like. I absolutely could not believe how he spoke to you. Talk about high school, he seemed more immature than anyone. I wondered if he was overdoing it for the cameras. But it was painful to watch him disrespect you in that way. I had always wondered how Ramona landed him, but now, I see why. They are 2 of a kind.
Anyway, gotta go now. But just know that waayyyy down in Douglasville, Georgia, we luv ya. But next time, make sure Wayne knows, and has permission to at least give a good healthy hip check or monster hand squeeze (the kind that will make tears come to your eyes) to nasty Mario.
I have to say that Jill is my favorite person on the show she reminds me of my Aunt Lynnie, No bull from her mouth or being two faced. She and Bethany are not affraid of calling people on being fake. Love it and don't change.
lots of love from the sunny state of California
Jill you rock! I think you're great and Mario needs to get a life. He is worse than a chick! He and his wife have issues with everyone, I suspect the real issues they need to deal with are with themselves! Keep doing what you're doing and stop being friends with people like that!
Jill....I got so attached to you and your family I am Israeli who lives in the US for 20 years if you ever want to visit Israel and need a private guide I am the one .. I relate to you so much... saw you went to the protest that was great of you thank you ...love the show...you look fabulous so pretty love your mom also shes great...I dont have a place to do passover so keep me in mind ..Todah
Allison is turning out to be a real beauty. I noticed the change from last season... you must be proud. Jill, seems like you have a wonderful life. Not perfect, but content. Lucky you... beautiful daughter, great husband, good "sister" Bethenny, and time to enjoy those things. I was impressed by your Mother as well. You and Bethenny are my favorites on the show. Cannot wait for the next episode.
Jill,
you are so funny! LOVE your mom, as well. she seems like a cool lady!
Jill, us being from Long Island....we see so much in you that we see in eachother. Thank you for representing us proud!!! We honestly adore you and would love to meet you! You are our fav!!!!!
Jill you are my favorite housewife and you are not desperate. You have a great husband and daughter. I also love your parents especialy your mom. I continue to watch the show because of you and of course the Drama that all the other girls have!!!
I am hooked on your show - for me (and my husband) it is an "escape" from reality. Your (all housewives) reality is so far from the "real" world that we sit and giggle through the 35 minutes or so it takes to view the spectacle without commercials. I have never seen a finer display of pettiness, narcisim, self elevation, celebretosis, arrogance and downright delusions of grandeur (except among the participants of the other housewives series). You are all very brave to let it all hang out on TV - they should really rename the series "The Real Desperate Housewives" you all seem so desperate for fame. You Jill and Bethany are my favorite misfits among the NY bunch!
Jill,
I think that you are a sweet and classy lady. I really enjoy watching you on the show and you make me laugh. I think that the relationship you have with Ally is wonderful, and Ally is turning into such a lovely young lady. You are truly the best housewife on the show, you are real, hilarious, and a great friend.
I just love the New York City Housewives. Jill you are the funniest, I love your accent!!! Not only are you beautiful but an all around good person. Your charity work is out of this world. I can't get enough of watching the show I'm addicted. I like you, LuAnn, Bethenny and Alex the best. That dang Ramona and Kelly are TROUBLE makers. I had to laugh when Bethenny put Kelly in her place.
Jill, you exude true NY spirit and style! I love your sincerity, humor and beauty! Best wishes for continued happiness!
Jill you seem the most together person on the show. I agree with another viewer about a show for you and Bethenny and your side kick hubby. That would be fun to watch. Except I'm not sure Bobby would approve. Besides your a mom and wife first, not a want a be like Kelli. hahaha. Sorry had to get that one dig in. How is it you've stay away from Kelli? Smart move.
I'd like a book on "Advice from a Nice Jewish Mother (and wife)." You are the best, Jill. You remind me of my sisters-in-law, but even more fun! If I met you in person I'd have to give you a big hug because you are such a sweetie.
And who the hell does Mario think he's kidding anyway? "Oh, I'm such a big tennis pro" but he can't stand it if you pick your own freaking tennis partner? What a bag of hot air! Hope you whip his shiny waxed ass next episode.
Jill,
I do not know how you put up with Brad! (ugh).
Bobby is the STAR of the show.
Every woman should have a husband like Bobby!
Jill-
I think you are the best of the bunch. Your funny and classy.
Wish I had a friend like you here in California.
and..... your mom. She is just divine.
All the best to you and your daughter.
Keep being a shining star .
