Season 3
Season 2
Season 1
Before I get started, let me thank everyone who takes the time to post comments on my blog. Keep them coming.
A big part of being on this show is the relationships we have with each other and how we deal with conflict when it arises. I think that Kelly made the right decision to have lunch with Ramona to discuss their differences and bringing along Sonja was also a good choice. Sonja does a great impression of Ramona and her role-playing definitely prepared Kelly for her lunch with Ramona.
I think that Kelly and Ramona's lunch went really well. Ramona impressed me with her sincere apology for the immature text message to Kelly and for how she treated Kelly on the trip last year. I was surprised how well Kelly articulated her feelings to Ramona and how she stayed "on message" about how she felt she was treated. I'm pretty sure they can move forward in a positive way with Ramona understanding that she needs to be more sensitive to Kelly's feelings.
There is not a "pecking order" amongst the RHONY ladies but some of us know each other better and have been on the show longer so we naturally are better friends. Cindy needs to get to know everyone better to understand how we interact with each other and how we work out our differences. Sonja has known Ramona for many years and has a high opinion of her long-time friend, so that may be what she was getting at when she said that Ramona was at the top.
I know you love Magaschoni's clothes. And I use to work there and you looked amazing in all of the clothes.
Where did you get that beautiful wool shift dress, you wore in the opening credits of the show.
I love it; please do share the info?
Come on you are the most honest person on the show and I admire yu for that, but Ramona wasn't confused with Cindy she was weird and rude! What happened to her? She use to make me laugh and now she makes me feel sorry for her. Anyone that rude is unhappy.
LuAnn:
You really are one of my favorite housewives. Through all of the bologna, you remain graceful and cool - and I cannot imagine that is an easy thing to do.
I am surprised that you and Alex are not better friends. Of all the NYC housewives, the 2 of you are by far the most intelligent. I hope to see a stronger friendship one day.

Just wondering if you'd be seen in Bethenny's
Skinny Girl car now????? Bottom's up, Lou Lou!
Honestly, when the show first began you seemed to stand out but I must admit that you are forgetting something very important about etiquette, sophistication and class. Leonardo da Vinci said "Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication." I say humility is the ultimate class. It cannot be studied because it's an attitude of the heart that few are born with. You can immitate it but sooner or later pride will leave a stench. This season you seem to be correcting others more and more on the show about their manners and although I'm taking a chance here, one of the worst faux pas in etiquette is to correct someone about their own manners. I hope you shine a little more on the platform you've been given. Wishing you well.
Correcting others on their manners is in itself bad manners. Maybe you should read a book on manners other than your own.
I am so over the "Countess knows best" when it comes to manners and behavior. Do you realize how catty you are and condesending? I don't believe that Cat was right in her behavior towards you last week on WWHL but I was amused that she finally put in your place. You are no better, when sitting in a circle of your friends. You issue the low blows, and your constant "mothering" on how others should behave is ANNOYING and RUDE!
You seem so happy this year, I'm so happy for you.
Think about this! If a person has a missing arm, leg or limps you wouldn't make jokes about it. So why do you make adverse coments, such as calling Ramona's eyes as crazy, when you want to dis her.
LuAnn, I have a lot of respect for you but didn't really appreciate your comment about Long Island last night, or as you pronounce it "Long Guyland". Kind of seemed like you were making a less than favorable statement about Long Islanders. Don't forget we have beautiful vineyards, beautiful beaches, and that all you ladies have homes here. And I'm sure many of your viewers are from here. I'm sure you weren't attempting to offend, but maybe you could keep your viewers feelings in mind in the future.
I don't understand why you think you are better than Alex. She is more educated and professionally accomplished than you. You are so snobbish toward her.
It is difficult to take you seriously. I think you are just silly.
Dahling - how Ramona treated Kelly on the trip? Are we looking at the same footage. And Ramona didn't apologize for her treatment she said she was sorry Kelly felt that way - big difference - huge.
LuAnn I love you but stop with the snarky behind the back talk - really - it's tacky.
LuAnn I must say you are a delight to watch on the show! I love how you are proper. You have a great attitude on life and I think you are one of the best Housewives!!
LuAnn,
I want you to know I have been watching the show from the very start. You are my favorite. I love the way you carry yourself, and set a good example, while not being overly self righteous. Thank you for showing us that there is still manners that count. By the way.... what happened on the show with Andy, and The Brit. She was really nasty to you.
Karolyn
LuAnn, You're smart and see and speak the truth in between your "haughtiness".
You are such a breath of fresh air Lu Ann. I truly admire you for getting on with your life and for being such a good mom. You are the only housewife with any manners and truly are a class act!
Love you LuAnn! You are truly my favorite housewife - you have class, tact, a great sense of humor and seem to be a good friend. I CAN'T get over how poorly you were treated last week on WWHL!!! But, of course, you are/were a true class act!!
Luann you are my favorite , such a lovely and classy woman. the other ladies should take an exampl from you.
I don't know how you kept your composure when Ramona called you a "weekend mom". She has some nerve...
Why does Ramona have to apologize to Kelly "for how she treated her" on scary island ? I'm not a Ramona fan, but I don't get what you are saying there. If anything, Kelly should apologize for that trip. Are we watching the same show ?
I like your style LuAnn. I think others [SONJA AND RAMONA] need to take lessons from you. I like your down to earth style and your class.
i dont know who that cat person is who was on "live's" after show last week but she had a whole lotta nerve the way she went after you. she was way off base. you have class; she doesnt.
LuAnn,
I love you Jacque together, good for you!
You are wonderful! I adore how calmly you handle things. I have thought of you when dealing with some sticky situations in my circle of friends. Thank you for that, I cannot tell you how much it has helped. Perhaps another book? Something on how to deal with rude, drunk, less than bright, aggressive people...I am sure that subject would be very rich in material!
You seem so happy this season and are becoming one of my favorites. I can't believe how RUDE Cat was to you last week on WWHL. She is so pessimistic and annoying. You handled the situation well and all of her ridiculous comments.
to be honest I wasn't a huge fan of yours last year, I guess you seemed unhappy and condescending at times but I ADORE you this season! You have been the voice of reason in every episode so far and are the only one that has been able to deal with Ramona. I honestly couldn't deal with her level of crazy all the time but you do so well! I do want to say I think your style this season is also phenomenal. It is clear that happiness suits you.
Hi ,
I have watched all the RHONY and never know what to expect! I change my mind every week about one thing...If I were to meet any of you, would any of you be kind? It is difficult to discern what the true personalities are, and I am intrigued at the thought of meeting any of RHONY. With Ramona making fun of her interviewees and no one really talking that nice to each other, I wonder if this is the way New Yorkers are to outsiders. Even where you hang out in NY is a big deal...uptown, downtown. After last nights episode, however, I do think that if I ran into you while visiting NY, that you would be gracious and kind. I hope that is true. No worries, I have only been to NY once, so it might not be a problem!

I love that you think before you speak and you are so genuine with your thoughts. It's nice to see someone so insightful and truly finding the good in people. You are always assuming the best and explaining why your cast-mates may have been misread or acted a certain way. You are a good friend and fair to all of them, even to those where is seems undeserved. A true Countess!
LuAnn,
Congratulations! I notice a much more humble tone in your blog this week. It suits you well. Take a small dose of humility every day. It will serve you well!
You and Jill have always been my favorites. In spite of what others say I have always believed that in most cases your manners and behavior are spot on.
This is the first time you've said all things I agree with. Maybe the chat last week with Cat helped?
LuAnn~Most of the time I think you are someone to admire, but in this episode you were so catty and condescending about Ramona and her endeavors (in the narration) that it's made me reconsider my thoughts on you. PLEASE cut it out. You are so good at telling everyone about their manners, maybe you should think about your own for a spell.
Countess,
I have noticed you wear amazing pieces of jewelry. I am not impressed with Ramona's line.
I am wondering if you have thought of designing a jewerly line based on what I have seen you wear on the show?
Love your sense of style, you are the best dressed without looking like you put a lot of effort into it. Maybe a clothing line, also?
Jacque is great, so funny and charming, also great looking.
YOU ROCK:) I love how you handled yourself with Cat last week. She was being very aggressive with you but you handled it well. Sitting there and justifying yourself to her would have been beneath you. You don't know this chick. She is just someone who spent a year on a show that was cancelled. I don't know why she thought that you would care about her opinion of you. I admit, proper etiquitte is not nearly as high a priority for me as it is for you and the other ladies. However, I wish more people would take a page from your book and not engage in pointless arguements.
Hi Ladies,
Thought I’d write a little something for everyone:
Jill: So glad you’re back. Love your attitude and genuine intention to “do the right thing”. Hope this season is a much happier one for you.
LuAnn: What can I say, as always, you are elegant and lovely.
Ramona: Oy, Ramona. Such a complex woman you are! You can be so endearing and yet so very very RUDE and disrespectful. Whether or not Cindy promised you your Pinot, a gracious lady would not barge into the party, demand her drink, criticize the horse riding and attempt to make a scene. You’re just ridiculous at times and it’s such a shame.
Sonya: You are a pisser sometimes! But, there are other times when the claws are coming out, which is new. Cindy’s intention was purely for the sake of sparing Kelly’s children a scene involving their mother. Ramona is unpredictable and holds no punches, even if children are present (refer to a previous season where she commented on Luann’s ex-husband’s age in front of her daughter). And as for dancing with your “staff”…..it is far more rude to refer to them as lowly staff then to dance in a playful, friendly way with someone.
Cindy: Open your mouth!! I can’t believe the way you sat and didn’t respond to Sonya’s teach lecture or Ramona’s rude tirade about how your party disrupted her romantic weekend with her husband!!! You looked like a frightened child. Your reaction at your party with Ramona was appropriate and strong. You need more of that!
Kelly: You seem to be in a very good place, and for that I’m happy!
Alex: Loved the piano scene! Your younger boy (sorry….I’ve forgotten his name!) seemed much more enthused about the piano. He was swaying to the music when he walked in. So cute. You looked very pretty in your scene with Jill and I’m so glad you are willing to work toward peace with her.
That’s all ladies. Happy Mother’s Day
Love you on the show! I think you are the realest one on the show. You speak your mind and your perspective is always spot on. Its great to see you in love and surrounded by a great group of girls.
LuAnn,
Congratulations. I see a more down to earth tone in this, your latest blog. Humility suits you. Take a "little dose" daily. It will serve you well.
Hello LuAnn,
I heard in one of the clips, there will be a slip between the blonds and the brunettes at some point. We'll even though I'm a blond, I'd rather be on your team.
For some reason even though you have as much as the other ladies do, you never come off as a bragging
wanna be? The others especially Sonjya, name drop, speak of how expensive things are and shove there wealth down our throats. It's like there trying to one up each other constantly.
Oh and I think you look great, I always look to see what your wearing. Your always understated but sexy & classy. Good luck with your gentlemen friend, he is really cute.
How lovely you come across in your blog! The shame of it is how snarky, unkind and gossipy you are when you are with people.
A little tip; people who have class never, ever use the word "class." And, they never, ever talk about it. You may want to expand your vocabulary to include the word gracious, but first you will have to learn and adapt your self to its definition.
Gracious: marked by kindness and courtesy. Characterized by charm, good taste, generosity of spirit, and the tasteful leisure of wealth and good breeding.
Also LuAnn what was your call to fame before marrying your Count...I'm glad that Kat put you in your place!
I must say you are the only one this season who is making any sense. The others could learn some much needed lessons in manners, consideration, and just basic common courtesy from you!
Usually I think you are very insightful in relationships, but I totally disagree with you about the Ramona-Cindy meeting as it was shown. Cindy tried to be clear, but Ramona cut her off and began lecturing her in a condescending way before she ever heard Cindy's view of the events. She refused to listen to Cindy's feelings about the incidents [over drinks in a calm, private setting] even though Ramona became almost hysterical when Cindy and her brother didn't listen to her complaints about her feelings [in front of their father in a very public setting]. Ramona's behavior was rude and insensitive at best -- defensive, mean and hypocritical seemingly!
this is the first time EVER I have agreed with you on everything you wrote.
