Real Housewives of NYC Reality Check: Money Can't Buy You Class... But it Can Buy You Autotune

FALSE: This Guy (With a Blurred Out Cartman Sticker on His Window) Is Going to Make LuAnn a Hit Record

Just call her "Two-Take LuAnn" and her producer "70's Phil Spector Without the Wig." Viewers at home, with no prior recording experience, knew that the "sesh" was off to a bad start when the producer, Chris Young, refused to take off his sunglasses, refused to call LuAnn anything but "Countess" and requested that LuAnn read her book aloud to him in French "for inspiration."

Adequately inspired, Two-Take LuAnn and 70's Phil Spector Without the Wig descended into a windowless torture chamber to record. Two-Take LuAnn proclaimed that the studio equipment made her feel "like James Brown" and Spector responded, "Well, believe me, he is definitely no stranger to this room." This would have been a good moment for the laugh track to kick in.

Spector spent a few minutes warming LuAnn up for her first single with vocal exercises, and false flattery ("You're a star!") before singing her praises from a confessional, "The Countess has a great voice. She reminds me of Madonna, Fergie. She has these beautiful, breathy hues in her voice." It is a shame she used those beautiful, breathy hues to speak-sing her single "Money Can't Buy You Class." Regardless, Spector just told Two-Take to "have fun with it" and only asked for one do-over ("A little bit more full, Countess") before proclaiming the song a "wrap" and "already a No. 1."

    Why do you write that the Captain of the Hooters yacht was lying when he said Ramona was one up over the Hooters girls/ What you don't believe some men find older women exciting, erotic and beautiful? You need to get a reality check there are men of ALL ages who are totally into older good looking, in shape women. They like the idea that an older woman is more sexually experienced and has lived a life with far more experiences than her younger counterparts. Ohh don't tell me you believe only older men are interesting to their younger admirers, is that it? Uhh wake up and smell the coffee and older women often have more confidence simply because they have lived through many things that younger women could not have possibly gone through. And you do realize older does not mean unattractive and flabby, if one exercises and takes good care of them self they can look incredibly beautiful. It's sad you are an age-a-phobe.

    Does any one know who makes the sunglasses Kelly is wearing while having lunch on the yacht w/ Ramona and the ladies?

  • JH says:

    Kitty, I'm sure Ramona's age has nothing to do with it -- more like her personality, crazy eyes and overall irritating demeanor!

  • kitty Caboodle says:

    Ohhh Jh I see. Well it sure seemed like it was about Ramona's age, since Ramona had said something like she was not like the young Hooters girls and that Captain of the yacht/CEO of Hooters said she had it over them.

    The photography is incredible. Many thanks this writeup, I am a fashion merchandising graduate in Brooklyn and I discovered this to be rather useful.

  • She should be fed kitten food. She needs all the fat and protein she can get right now. Any good-quality brand will do. Moist food is good because it helps her get liquid as well as nutrients; however, I would definitely keep both moist and dry food available for her, as well as water, of course. She should NOT receive milk.
