The New Real Housewives Of NJ

Orange County, New York, Atlanta, and the latest, New Jersey.  This season follows five women living in the Garden State, and if the premiere was any indicator, it looks like it’s going to be good and juicy. You know I don’t usually ever write about these shows, but I am telling you it is easy to get hooked! Meet the latest group of women who will soon be your new best friends, and who also know a thing or two about aging fabulously, injections, lypo, implants, and anything else to defy the laws of gravity.

The New Real Housewives From The Garden State

Caroline: Think Gina from Orange County, or the Jill Zarin of New York. She has grown children, one of whom is opening a strip club. Her motherly advice: “Let’s run a respectful strip club—one mommy can be proud of.” Some how I just can’t imagine my mother feeling that way ever.

Teresa: This mother of three little girls claims she’s not a stage mom, but does bringing the kids to modeling agencies and putting glitter gloss on her four-year-old still count? All in all she seems very sweet, and a high school flash back picture with Teresa in mile-high hair brought me back too.

Dina: Recently moved to New Jersey, and it seems she is set on being the hottest (think Vicki from OC and Ramona from NY) housewife in this group. According to Dina who when playing tennis with her daughter told her  “Honey, Mommy doesn’t run”. Okay. Can you say Zsa Zsa?

Danielle: This episode focused on Danielle’s date to meet face-to-face with the guy she’d been having phone sex with for two years. Unfortunately it didn’t go well, but huge props to Danielle who is a single mother, for being brave enough to go for it.

Jacqueline: Dina put it best, and she seems to be right on both counts: “Jacqeline’s heart is as big as her bubbies.” You’ve gotta love that:-)

Of course the internet is all a buzz, and some are saying the show is a negative portrayal of New Jersey, which is making them all look like stereotypes. I say oh please!!! It’s a frickin’ reality show, real women, and yes Real Housewives. Why not try and lose your brain for an hour or so and just have some fun! You may even like it, who knows?
