Let's take a trip back in time, shall we?

Man, does time fly! And The Real Housewives of New York City pal Jill Zarin casually reminded us of just that fact when she posted photos from the RHONY Season 1 party, which took place 12 years to the day of the emotional Season 11 premiere on March 6.

How to Watch

Watch The Real Housewives of New York City on Bravo Tuesdays at 9/8c and stream next day on Peacock. Catch up on the Bravo app.

All your old old-school favorites were there to kick off RHONY and celebrate what was to come, including: Luann de Lesseps, Bethenny Frankel, Simon McCord and Simon van Kempen, Ramona Singer and Mario Singer (in the good ol' days), Bobby Zarin, and some of the Big Apple kids when they were still actually kids. It's a wild and trippy look at a bygone era.

So, how does Jill remember it all? Fondly, as you can see from her Instagram caption: "Season 1 March 6, 2007 premiere party. Exactly [12] years ago today. How many changes we have all been thru together and apart...I think we look better than ever! Look at my hair? No one told me how bad it was! Lol. I wore Donna [Karan]. Bobby had a Pucci tie and [daughter] Ally wore a gorgeous dress, but forgot who! I still have that dress in storage," she wrote, adding this interesting tidbit about that time: "I was the resident photographer. Using an actual camera. I took most of the candid photos at press events and group scenes."
