It's hard to believe our season is over - it went by so fast!
First I like to clear something up about skincare. Botox injections are an instant, temporary fix by the eyes, which lasts three to four months. Anti-aging skincare revitalizes the skin and improves skin texture over time, something that Botox does not do. It also minimizes wrinkles. It is important to use skin care whether it is mine http://ramonasinger.com/tru-renewal.aspx#1 or someone else's. Botox does NOT do what anti-aging skin care does. If I had to make a choice, I would do skin care only and forget the Botox.
Now that summer is coming up, let me share some tips. The best way to lose weight is eat half portions of everything! Also I have been stepping up my exercise routine, and to help decrease my appetite I take one Duzoxin tablet late in the morning. It has been working!
I really need to thank each and every one of you who has purchased my beautiful jewelry I wear on the show from www.truefaithjewelry.com and those of you who have supported my last HSN show. The next show will be June 3rd at 9PM!

Ramona,
Every time the last episode airs, I have to watch it. I love when youdancedx with Simon. I really think you should be friends. I think you should get over what happened in the past and hang out.

You were my absolute favorite the first season and you were my favorite again this season!! I love the way you put the other housewives in their place. I liked the way you told Luann that everyone laughed and talked about her behind her back. Those other two tried to pretend that they didn't. I love the way you told Alex to her face that you thought her and Simon were weird when everyone else tried to act like they didn't think so also. I think Jill Zarin wants to be more like you but she dosen't know how. Bethenny is so ridiculous!! She wants to be Kelly's friend so bad it's embarrasing!! After all the junk Kelly said about her she still couldn't say they could never be friends. Pathetic. Oh and when they said your husband was checking out othere women you should have said "well at least he likes women" that should be pointed to Jill Zarin and Alex!! Jill's husband is always hanging out with her gay interior designer!!Have a good life Ramona!! And keep dancing!!

Hi Ramona,
I just finished watching the reunion. I think you are great! You don't have crazy eyes! You are really self-aware and don't need therapy. Having a disfunctional family/childhood just makes you like everyone else. Good luck with your business. Kelly is really the one that needs therapy.

I wish they all didn't pick on you so much at the reunion. Anyway, I know you said you would never be with a man that was like your father, but I have this hunch Mario is a lot like your father. The way he treats women is terrible. He's a creep.

Ramona I think that you may be nice underneath your hard shell, but you say very rude things to people. Maybe you're just doing what you said your father did to your mom. Maybe you are very sensitive. But take some tips from Alex- when someone hurts your feelings, just say so. It might save you and the other housewives ALOT of drama in the future! Ps- Thanks for telling us that you didn't get married until 37..that's good news for the 30-somethings!! :)

Dear Ramona:
I am watching part 2 of the finale and I have to say... you really need to learn to stick to your guns. I know that Jill (or as I call her Kill Zarin since she is always going for your throat) has an issue when it comes to you. I just want to say, be factual and she will leave your alone.
I hate to see you back down in a heated situation. Give her a dose of her own medicine and maybe she will show more respect for you as a person.
I think you are great. You say what you feel. I am the same way and I can relate... but as adults we do have an edit button. Say whatever you want... but say it nicer on camera so that when the season finale comes around, they don't discredit your credibility.
We all have our opinions. You are entitled to yours ... and you get paid for them. So, stick to your guns!!!
Your show is my favorite indulgence!
Thanks,
Jacky

Ramona,
I love you!! You tell it like it is and you do not hold back any punches. I think Kelly should be like that instead of lying, half way answering questions and running in circles with her answers. If more people on the show would keep it real like you, there would not be so much drama that comes out later. You and your husband are adorable together!! He is fine too. : )

You are so rude! You behave like a 16 year old. You totally attacked LuAnn and should never attacked her for not being public with her failing marriage. She has children and was trying to protect them. You are cold as ice. You think your so hot but your not. Your body is gross and you should keep it covered and your eyes are wild. Are you on medication? Your childhood does define you and you are abusive and you seem to enjoy it.

It seems after reading the comments people are to quick to judge in all aspects of these people who you don't even know. People have bad lives and some handle it better than others. This isn't your business to say whether it's right or wrong. Why mention your own abuse? You made it through, good for you leave it out. I say this as someone who has come from an abusive home who realizes no one really cares but me. Judge your own lives be nicer.

Ramona you were asked a question on the reunion show about your blog about the last laugh being on Bethenny about dating, there was a heated debate and you were angry at Andy that he didn't go on to say that you had called Bethenny fabulous and great and that you just loved her. Well got some news for you sweetheart he couldn't do that because it didn't happen.
You told a bold faced lie on that one. You tend to try to lie your way out of a lot of things, don't you realize or haven't you heard of Tivo deary. All anybody has to do is rewind.
Your sorry excuse for bad manners about coming from an abusive home is so lame. There are thousands of us that come from way worse than just bad things being said and we rise above it and don't treat people the way you do.
Instead of spending so much money on your thighs try spending some on a therapist to get rid of your feelings of inadequacy which might be money well spent.

Ramona,
RE: Reunion Part One, it looked like the other ladies decided to gang up on you, and keep on talking about you, without a chance to answer all questions they posed, Plus the reason someone does that, is because they do not want to give that person a chance to talk about them. Plus, they know you will stand up for yourself, being honest and loud, and they counted on that. I hope Part Two, is more hosted by the guy, that allowing Jill, Bethany and "the countess" to run things, like they did in part one.
Also, your honesty is good, people know where you stand about EVERYTHING. I am the same way, and I have learned recently that Most people do not really appreciate the truth. They do not really care how you feel about anything, unless its helping their own agenda.
So, be honest with honest people, or those that arent so offended by "outgoing gals".
Good luck with your business's, I'll be watching HSN in June to see your jewelry.

Ramona, Ramona, Ramona. In the 1st season, you definitely walked to the beat of a different drummer. I thought you were interesting. The 2nd time around, well, I thought I saw little glimmers of maturity, compassion and kindness when you were with Avery, during your business meetings and during 1:1 moments with people you really cared for. But those glimmers were over shadowed by your mean spirited, off the wall, crazy comments you would fling at anyone you perceived as a threat. I finally understood you when you spoke about your childhood and your parent's relationship. YOU definitely need to continue therapy. You have NO boundaries and you continue the cycle of learned abusive behaviors from your parents. When others are confronting you about an issue, you cannot carry on a decent conversation. You yell and scream your response, you're defensive and you're vindictive. "...I said that because you hurt my feelings..." "...I did that because of ____ (an event that happened days before)..." You really need to edit yourself BEFORE you open your mouth. Take a chill pill and PLEASE be nice.

Ramona,
You are my favorite on the show! I thought it was great how you stood up to the bullies, Andy included.
Jill sure did let the cat out of the bag, she watches YOU 24/7! She is obsessed over you and her attacks show how delusional she has become. She made a fool out of herself with her attacks and self righteous attitude.
Her "team Jill" shirts shows how much she wants to knock you down and fight with you. She is actually trying to turn people against you with her stupid shirts. That is so sick!
She loves to attack the other women and act like she is the Queen looking down her nose at her servants.
It was pathetic how she and Bethenny held hands, acting like Bethenny was a little underdog victim.
Bethenny has made it her job to insult and degrade the other women and now she needs Jill to talk over everyone, fling accusations and make excuses for their horrible behavior.
It was clearly set up during the reunion for the bullies to attack you, Kelly and Alex. After the reunion, I like the women on your sofa and can't stand the bullies. (including the 4th bully, Andy)

Jill's exhausting list of excuses for Bethenny's rude and nasty behavior is a shame. There IS NO EXCUSE for an adult carrying on the way in which Bethenny does. Don't talk to me about bad childhoods and, for the record, those of us with horrible pasts, actually treat people with more understanding, compassion and dignity than others. I find Jill and Bethenny to be very insecure and envious. My mother always warned me about girls like that...IN JUNIOR HIGH...

Ramona, Yes I also think that you are crazy, kooky, mean, rude, loud, and have some kind of problem with your eyes, but I like you, It is never a dull moment when Ramona is around, but using your parents as an excuse for your own behavior is a no no. We all need to take resposibility for our own actions, to me it seemed to be a therapy driven sympathy seeking cope out, with maybe a little publicity stunt thrown in for good measure. It will be interesting to what the future holds.

Hello to all the bloggers-it's a REALITY show, it's supposed to be dramatic and gossipy, otherwise no-one would watch it!! I often wonder if a lot of these types of shows are "acting" and these women actually get along off camera. We all know women talk about each other behind our backs,were gossipy- it's been that way since grade school-deal with it. I think anytime you get a group of successful and powerful women together,there's going to be insecurities and competition with one another duh!!! Kelly, is just weird and says one thing, but does another,that is why she is hard to figure out-Bethanny is real, people generally do not take well to those that are brutally honest all the time. I am partial to Jill and Bethanny, all the housewives (which they are not really housewives, they work)have good and bad traits as well all do, so just sit back and enjoy the show, it's purpose is to entertain it's audience.

Ramona;
You say, and I believe, you were verbally abused by your father. It was destructive and hurtful to you and made you defensive. OK, I get it. Then why is it OK for your husband to be verbally abusive to your friends? Mario was so abusive to Jill in person that I had to turn off that segment. He has been horribly abusive to all the housewives, except you, in his blogs. Nasty, hurtful, spitful things were said by him and I never heard a word of reproachment from you. Is abuse fine in your world, as long as it isn't aimed at you? Shame on you. That's not being a friend, or even a decent human being.

Ramona, I think I understand why you are so MEAN. If you grew up with parents being MEAN to one another, you would be compelled to develop a "voice" to express your unhappiness. You probably don't see yourself as MEAN, but rather as a survivor. The problem is, your daughter will eventually be compelled to develop her "voice", and it will result in her being MEAN as well. How sad she will inhereit this legacy. My own mother was MEAN, I am MEAN, and now I watch with great regrets as my teenage daughter becomes MEAN. Be careful...

Ramona, I watched the reunion show and would like to say a few things. You used the premise that your parents treated each other badly and said horrible things to each other as an excuse for your own behavior. I can tell you that I grew up in an abusive home in the same way and can tell you stories and give examples that I am positive equal your experiences. Please do not use it in your present life as an excuse to be so mean. You might be using it as your strength in your everyday life or business. But, it makes you look unhinged and bitter. You must look past that life and make your life your own. You are allowing your childhood to define you today. There is no need to use that behavior anymore. You have to work to get past it and define yourself and what you would like to create in your life for yourself. I don't know how much room I have here but I am sure it is running out. Good Luck.

Ramona, on the first half of the reunion blog you defended your actions based on your childhood being so bad. No, doesn't justify. It's great that you made the realziation that your actions stems from your childhood, but now that you've made that realization you CAN NOT use that as an excuse for your behavior. Grow up! Work through your pain and become a nicer person without feeling justified for how you act!

Ramona, You are 100% correct about Bethenny and Jill,
1. Jill HATES anyone who is better than her in ANY way be it money, looks, Tennis, social status, etc. Jill hated the fact that Alex and Simon got a book deal.
2. Bethenny would NOT leave the charity event EVEN after Jill told her to leave because she knows better, she knows that without Jill, she is NOTHING. all that anger Bethenny had went a way and she coulnt' even answer Jill when she asked her to leave...basically Betheny ended up apologizing to Jill when Bethenny wanted Jill to apologize...in other words bitch(Bethenny) recognized that WITHOUT Jill she is NOTHING.

Ramona,
You need some serious counseling....
It is painfully clear you don't own up to your bad behavior as you are incapable of self-reflective analysis. I personally don't cultivate relationships or friendships with people like you because you are not whole and centered as a person. You are clearly not healthy emotionally.
People like you love to criticize and humiliate others around you that exhibit healthy behavior as it is such a threat to your own dysfunctional identity. Healthy behavior from others "calls you out" as a crazy woman.
You don't care how mean you are and how your words and behavior affect others. You act like you deliberatly want to hurt people. Then when people tell you you hurt them, you zing it back at them like it's their problem and you are the victim now and are being attacked. Wow. They call people like you psychotic and sociopathic; incapable of feeling remorse for their own behavior or even recognizing that their behavior is wrong.
You need to read the book Boundaries and learn how to respect people. Here's a few other things to put on your "to do" list.
1) Deal with your past...feel it, heal from it, and own it.
2) Leave the past behind you. Bethenny had a much worse life growing up and she is 100 times healthier than you. She owns her own crap and IDENTIFIES and RECOGNIZES IT. Only then can you learn and grow into a healthy woman. Otherwise, you remain trapped by your old emotions and feelings and you react to things in the current day with 20 year old perspectives that are unhealthy, negative, and counter productive.
3) Your husband is just as arrogant, self-absorbed, and elitist as you are. Wow, the way he yelled at Jill over the tennis match at the Page Six (?) party was unreal. He looked a little sauced as well....Must be nice to be Ken and Barbie of NYC. Both of you dial it down a notch...

If having so much material possession means that there is a possibility that anyone could end up like you, everyone is better off living in the middle of no where with nothing. You are so bitter and you should not be. I cant believe you would pick on some one else's husband, look at your own. You spend so much time picking on Alex and Simon because your so jealous that you should start looking at home.

I like you. You are one of my favs.. Bethany being my favorite. I just want to ask why you stood up for Kelly at the reunion when clearly Kelly doesn't feel she owes Bethany an apollogy for her very embarrassing actions at the Bar or at Jill's house? She was so off the wall and unfriendly and belittling as she could be to Bethany. she wouldn't even give Bethany a chanch to talk let alone say she was sorry! I think Kelly is self-loved and wants everyone to bow to her and guess what? She is nothing to want to be friends with! She is so super into herself! Ugh! I hope she isn't back next year. I was so glad to see all of you {except Alex} wanted her not to come back next time. I was so surprised to see that she didn't even seem to cringe at herself after seeing the episodes! I would have been mortified at the way I acted on camera! I wouldn't have wanted to show my face in public again! Yet, she defended herself again! so, for sure now, I hope she doesn't come back. I really was hoping to see her a bit humbled, but no, she is not getting it. Did you watch the episodes? Well, I was just wondering why you told Bethany that she scared you because of the way she looked at that time. My girl, she looked fine to me, trying to keep her composure while others were interupting her AGAIN! No one lets er finish a sentence. Oh well, just what I saw. I get Bethany. I even get you. But not Kelly. she doesn't even get herself!

Well, Team Ramona, any whining is tragic as it shows an inability to handle life’s pressures. The difference between Ramona and Bethanny is that Ramona seeks revenge at any cost regardless of the end result. She can be very hateful. But, both women could use therapy (and I'm saying this out of concern, not malice).
Abandonment and abuse issues are imbedded in our very spirit until we get professional help and actually go through a HEALTHY grieving process. Until then, all relationships are tainted to some degree as they sift through a pain filled filtering system. Neither of these women came from families that modeled the development of proper, mature character. Believe me, I know this as I’ve lived through the process for many of the same reasons. I’m a better person for it and it’s what I wish for both women—to be whole and content, live in peace, and find happiness outside themselves.
It would actually be an interesting twist for Bravo to encourage them and then, film them going through counseling and becoming the authentic women God intended. It would be enlightening to the viewing public to watch, not to mention the good that would come out of it for Ramona and Bethanny. I hope I answered your question.

Dear Ramona, You mentioned you grew up in a home where your father was verbally abusive. Maybe this is where you learned to be so mean. Instead of learning from the experience you turn around and verbally abuse many people in your life. Kind of like-be mean to them before they get a chance to be mean to me first. Are you in therapy? If not, please explore it. You could be a way nicer person.

Ramona,
Why do people like you always blame everything on their
childhood? GET OVER IT!!!! You are just plan MEAN and
HATEFUL.

So, the only reason you say anything hurtful is to "get back" at the person for something they said/did sometime in the past? Grow up.
You were upset that Alex and Simon didn't tell you that pictures of Alex were going to be published? Why should they tell you? And you don't want to identify with people who would have semi-nude photos of themselves published, yet you have a Playmate at your home? Little hypocritical, don't ya think?
You didn't come to Alex and Simon's party because you eat at 8:00? Own up to it, it's okay to say you didn't want to go, but making a lame excuse makes you sound like a ten year old.
You say that Alex and Simon have no depth? Take a long, hard look at yourself ....
Alex and Simon may be a little quirky, but they seem to truly be in love with one another and enjoy each other's company. And let's face it, who wouldn't love to have a husband come shopping with them and tell them how fantastic they look. So what if Simon likes to shop ... let him. It doesn't affect you.
Oh, and thanks for all the plugs of all your products at the beginning of your blog. Now I know what not to buy and what not to watch.

Romona,
You are an ambitous and energetic woman. You need to learn to be more humble and not say everythng you think. You would be more likable. You have a gourges husband and a beautiful daughter. Be happy and wish happiness for others regardless of what you really think and you will be I enjoyed you on the show.Pam

You can be sooo likeable, and then for no apparent reason, you go off the deep end. I was shocked to hear some of your comments last night on the reuion show. I really liked you prior to the show, however, now you've become the type of person I would be courteous to, but maintain my distance from.
Your daughter is absolutely beautiful.

I like you because you tell it like it is.. I dont think you need to be on all the time.. I guess that may be because of your childhood.. I understand that.. You want to get them before they get you. I think you are liked you can ease it down a bit...
Hats off to you..

well the 1st half of the reunion was a mess!!! What is wrong with all of the ladies? There isn't one thing anyone on that show can do to get respect from eachother. Why in the world do you all kiss when seeing eachother then say the most horrible things about eachother behind your backs or on the reunion show? I like the Orange County group better, except Tamara . Have a good rest from the group.

Please! Romona is 51 not 61. Either way Ramona you look good. Early in the season you made me think you were not a good person, now I have seen you improve and think you are doing much better than Bethenny.( at projecting a better image). Bethenny is so disgustingly nasty, who would want to be her friend. For some reason she has Jill under her thumb, and I feel sorry for Jill. Anyway, thanks for being nicer lately Ramona.

I find it interesting that you said you were raised in a home with a lot of verbal abuse, yet you are doing exactly the same thing to the ladies on the show. Think about the words you say and EDIT.

You deserved the darts - spears would have been more appropriate. If you even remotely think that you are in the same league as Bethenny/Jill/Luann, you need to do some serious reflecting. You come off on the show as the comic relief - and not because you are funny, think about that one. Your "I did that to get back at you", is so sophmoric and pathetic I couldn't believe you actually said it. But as I said, comic relief, and not due to your humor. Oh well, it is funny to watch you try to "keep-up".

She Bear--Why can't Romona play the blame game? Bethenny has whined every chance she can that she didn't have a family growing up and publicly runs her father down. B has played the blame game so long she has so many points no one will win.

Have you ever thought about getting some help for this urge you seem to have to get people back when you feel someone has done something to you. Very juvenile....you don't seem to have the tools to handle your life...while you may make money, you can't handle words....or certain truths that come at you, and then you go on revenge mode with no filter...time to grow up girl!

WOW. I thought I had encountered most every kind of personality on the face of the earth. Then, there's you. Out of one side of your mouth, the words are mean, cruel and vindictive (not to mention frequently LOUD). Out of the other, you pay over the top compliments to the women you just finished verbally victimizing.
Playing the blame game with your past doesn't cut it. It is a lame excuse for your behavior. We all have had some sort of trauma from the past but still manage to have some semblance of manners and self control, attributes you obviously lack. You may not let any man mistreat you, but you sure can dish out a load of mistreatment to the people around you. People you say you care about.
It's hard to believe you can have any kind of open, honest, nuturing relationships with women if they have to worry about the revenge you'd seek if they happen to step on your toes. I hope you're receiving professional help. Until then, repeat, "It's not about me." Because, believe it or not, it really isn't.

Ramona, you are my favorite because you are so much fun!<333 When you were dancing with simon me and my husband were laughing so hard because we thought you must have been really enjoying those Pinot Grigios!
Your daughter and husband and condo/house are the best so you must be doing something right!

Please heed Jills advice last night regarding family- this show isnt working for yours either. You must know that at some level. Only Jills husband and child comes out looking good and gentle.

I really love the show and was really interested in what you had to say about your jewelry and skin products.
I just don't understand why you don't like Simon and Alex. They are as normal as you and Mario. So what if Simon is a bit quirky.....so are you. There is no such think as perfect, and I cannot quite understand why on the show everytime you are around Simon you have this look on your face as if you have just eaten bad fish. You have a beautiful family and I wish nothing but the best for you, but alot of times when you speak....it is the pot calling the kettle black.

Don't listen to the haters- You look great great great for sixty one years old! You could pass for ten years younger and if you want to dance like elaine, do it!
Avery might be embarrassed but at your age- you have earned it!
I think your skin care might erase wrinkles, but it must cause brain damage.

hi Ramona,
I think you are great. I love watching you. You are my favorite NYC Housewife. You have it all. A darling daughter, a hunk and a really sweet guy and a wonderful career. You say what you think and you don't mince words. The dancing with Simon was really, really funny.
Keep up the entertainment. I can't wait for next season to begin.The NJ housewives are no comparison. I had to turn it off after 10 minutes.

Ramona,
Thank you for explaining how your childhood home has affected you as an adult. You know that we 'live what we learn' and grow up repeating those behaviors, even if we don't want to. That being said, I hope you can continue whatever steps you are taking to deal with your emotional issues. You need to break the cycle of defensive behavior and cruel paybacks or your daughter will behave the same way as she grows to adulthood. I see your need to 'get back' at your friends for over perceived slights as a form of repeating the abuse you witnessed and experienced as a child. Spend less time thinkinga about how you can make more money and more time on making yourself a happier person and better role model for your daughter.

Your vibrant & energetic personality offers variety to the show. I hope you don't allow some of the hateful words, viewers post, get you down. You are, who you are. A wonderful Mother, loving wife, devoted friend, career woman and the list goes on! People should appreciate you being open & honest and not a back-stabber. I hope you return for "Season 3"! Enjoy your Summer '09!

Ramona,
I don't know how you put up with the three bullies and their superior attitudes! They don't take any responsibility for their blogs, interviews and personal attacks against you.
They gang up and aren't even asked about how these fights actually started and what they said if the first place.
It's very obvious the host is playing favorites and won't ask any real questions to the bullies.They talked over you whenever you brought up what they said or did that set you off. They sure can dish it out but are classic bullies when it comes to someone giving their treatment back.
I'm glad you stood up for yourself and felt you were attacked with the assistance of the host. Too bad he feels like he needs to join in on the bully fest. The other women are so busy finding fault with everyone else, they seem oblivious to their self righteous and nasty attitudes.

You look wonderful for your age- My aunt is your age and looks like she's in her sixties- you look like you're at least 5 years younger. Your skin care line must be good- I hope I look as good as you when I'm sixty one years old.
However, your inside, not looking so nice- you can be quite mean. Why were you defending Kelly? Didn't get that!

Let the past go & move on!!!! We have all had some thing go bad in our childhood in one way or another. Yes you are a strong woman but cherish the friends you have & remember live is to short for all the back stabbing & name calling. You can't put a price tag on friends & family & if you don't like the others just KEEP your mouth shut!!!!

You know Ramona...all this season while everyone thought you're a cookoo I have always been on your side. I always thought you are a strong woman, loving mother with some communication problems. I even agree with you with having the last laugh when it comes to marriage/dating or business for that matter!! But now when I see you defending kelly I think I might have been wrong all along!! What is the matter with you??

You're kinda crazy, but I love watching you on the show.
Come on seriously imagine if there was no ramona on it!
Jill and Bethenny are married to each other or something, Alex and Simon live in their on little crazy-but-romantic-in-their-own-way planet, the Countess is the Countess Darlings, Kelly well kelly's nuts in my opinion she needs help. And once Ramona arrives on the scene you know that there is no way you are gonna change the channel, or take your eyes off the tv!!!Love you or hate you who cares, you keep me entertained. And that's why I pay for cable every month!

I am a big fan of this show and I have to say, while watching this show, whenever you come around, I MUST channel surf! If you could kill the constant hair tossing and rapid eye movement,that would help.

ramona,
You look great for an older woman...........how would that sound if I said that you look good for an old woman? Now, don't you get what the Countess was trying to tell you about your comments about her huband? You are 61 and act 16, You get too emotional, and are too quick to defend yourself instaed of listening and maybe learning something.Think before you speak!
