On our grand pregnancy cruise last night, Ramona actually went the entire episode without drinking any pinot grigio, but the rest of the cast made up for her. Maybe they should always get ripped before they shoot,gucci belts on sale, because most of the episode was actually kind of fun.

We started with LuAnn and her producer, still in his only set of clothes, and…Natalie Cole. Is Natalie Cole ok? Like, did she know that she was going to be on Real Housewives when she got in the car that morning, or was she taken there against her will? Why in the world would someone as famous and talented as Natalie Cole not only appear on Real Housewives of New York, but agree to make nice with pond scum like LuAnn? And not only that, but “volunteer” (paid by Bravo, I’m sure) to sing at LuAnn’s anniversary party?

I mean, she must have bills to pay that we don’t know about or a bookie breathing down her neck or something. There’s no other explanation. If she’s a Housewives fan and wanted to be involved, I’m sure that Andy Cohen would have been happy to have her on the Gay Uncle in the Basement Show instead of this mess. Not that Watch What Happens Live is any less of a mess than any particular Real Housewives franchise, I suppose.

And while we’re on this scene, let’s talk about LuAnn’s party for a moment. It was her one-year anniversary party. Not one year of marriage, because she and Jacques are not married. And they’re also not engaged, because if LuAnn got married, she’d lose her title, and I wish I loved anything in this world as much as LuAnn loves telling people she’s a countess. When it comes down to marrying someone she loves or keeping her title, I hope we’re all clear on what LuAnn’s going to choose.

Anyway, so LuAnn was having a party for her one-year dating anniversary. Like that’s some sort of accomplishment. I had my first one-year dating anniversary in high school you guys. Any moron can hold on to a dude for a year here and there. It’s no reason to rent out a yacht and sail around and make all your friends to show up and celebrate your life choices. You only get to do that when you’re married, and even then, your friends mostly resent you for making them give up a Saturday. (Don’t even think about giving me any guff on this point, we all know it’s true.) Except when you’re on Real Housewives, you get to do it for your 17th wedding anniversary or your dating anniversary or whatever, because Bravo needs a party to close out the season.

Over at Ramona’s house, Alex and Simon were visiting her and Mario to do a good bit of obvious foreshadowing about Ramona’s fake pregnancy scare that was going to happen later in the episode. Avery always wanted a sibling! Ramona regrets not having another child! They even had Avery wander in to awkwardly talk about how Ramona is still having her period. You could not pay me to talk about my mother’s menstrual cycle on television. You couldn’t pay me to talk about mine on television. I don’t like the direction that Avery has taken this season. I feel like Bravo is grooming her for some kind of junior Housewives show that will hopefully never, ever happen.

After the period and pregnancy talk, it was time for dinner, naturally. Because what makes better pre-dinner talk than bodily functions and whether or not you still bleed from your vagina every month? Nothing. As soon as everyone sat down, LuAnn called Alex to invite her to her party for Jacques, which LuAnn painted as a gesture of reconciliation but was really just something that the producers required because it was the traditional end-of-the-year party. We’re catching on to your games, Bravo. Try harder.

Shortly thereafter, we were off to watch Alex shoot her first editorial for a magazine that I’ve never heard of. Simon showed up to pick her up from the shoot when she was just finishing hair and makeup because, you guys, the fashion industry never does anything on a schedule. We’re all on rock star time around here. But Simon sat around to wait for everything to be done, and while he did, he told us that Alex had recently been named #3 on a list behind Lady Gaga and Rihanna. It was…the Us Weekly Worst Dressed List. And although all three of those women look a little nuts sometimes, can we all agree that the Us Weekly list is often full of people who are actually wearing awesome outfits that just aren’t mainstream enough to get a thumbs up? I have a whole rant about Worst Dressed Lists inside of me, but I’ll save it for another time.

Elsewhere, at some random flower shop and for reasons that weren’t entirely lear, Cindy and Sonja got together to patch things up. And of course they didn’t patch anything up, they just fought more because that’s always what happens when people get together to patch things up. Just like last week, Cindy continued to act like a jackass and not find anything wrong with conducting a conference call at brunch while a friend is cooking for you, which is really not a defensible position. Even if she actually feels like that, which appeared to be the case, it’s important to be aware that absolutely no one else on Earth does, which means she’s fighting a losing battle when it comes to public opinion.

But even in the face of such total jackassery and such an easy win, somehow Sonja managed to be completely condescending and annoying too, dropping names and saying that Cindy could learn about business from her. I think that’s verifiably false, but Cindy quickly responded that she conducted the phone in Sonja’s kitchen to teach HER about business, which I also think is verifiably false. At the end of the conversations, there were no winners, only losers. Including us.

Next, Ramona showed up to Sonja’s house for reasons I didn’t entirely understand and told her that she thought she was pregnant. Did she just come over to announce that? Anyway, Sonja believed it must be true because her dog was sniffing Ramona,gucci shoes online, and dogs always know. You know what dogs also always do? Sniff new people who come into the house. Despite that, Sonja and Ramona were both SURE that she was pregnant. The dogs were sniffing her and her boobs were sore and she just felt pregnant, you know? Even though Ramona had yet to bother to take a pregnancy test to confirm that feeling, which are readily available at all 482 Duane Reade locations on the Upper East Side.

You know who else Ramona told she was pregnant without bothering to take a test? Her husband! Once everyone had crowded on a boat for LuAnn’s anniversary victory lap around New York Harbor, Ramona cornered Mario and told him that she was knocked up. He actually seemed kind of excited, but that might have just been the booze. He also remembered to ask if she had taken a pregnancy test,gucci suitcase items, and when she announced that she hadn’t, he was right to be a little skeptical. I’m not sure why he felt the need to tackle Sonja to tell her that Ramona couldn’t be pregnant, but at this point, it seemed like everyone was good and drunk, which always makes tackling people seem like a good idea. (What, is that only me?)

Once weird Sonja-Mario hug time was over, it was time for Ramona and Sonja to lock themselves in the bathroom and discuss the finer tactics of taking pregnancy tests while Jill hovered outside with a glass to her ear, trying to figure out of they were snorting coke or making out or what. Were they switching leopard dresses to see if anyone would notice? Had they both become distracted and rendered immobile by the sight of something shiny in their peripheral vision? Jill was on the case, she’d figure it out. If either Ramona or Sonja had opened the door, Jill probably would have fallen face-first into the toilet. With Cindy and LuAnn pretending not to pay attention right behind her.

Ramona finally decided that she was too nervous to pee with Sonja and a cameraman stuffed into a tiny yacht bathroom with her, so everyone headed back out to the stage area to watch LuAnn trot Natalie Cole out like a show pony and sing over her for most of the serenade to Jacques. He didn’t look all that thrilled, but hey, Natalie looked good, even though LuAnn was convinced that Jacques was so impressed with her that he barely noticed Natalie’s presence at all. I really hope Bravo paid her generously for singing on Real Housewives, and I hope that her father doesn’t come back and maliciously haunt her as a result.

After the performance, during wich Ramona had been double-fisting Pellegrino like her life depended on it, she literally sprinted to the bathroom in her heels and evening gown to try to balance herself on her tall shoes, hike up her long, tight dress and aim for a narrow stick while on a yacht sailing around New York. In a way, I’m kind of sad that a camera crew didn’t follow her in because that feat of coordination would have been something to see, and I’m pretty sure that she didn’t actually take the test or think she was pregnant in the first place.

And obviously the test came back negative, because Ramona is ancient in reproductive terms and her baby oven is cooling down, not heating up. But we all knew that all along, just like we all knew the stuff in the boring end-of-episode blurbs that are intended to share interesting information about what the cast has done since filming. And you know, I didn’t hate it so much. It was kind of a fun episode if you could suspend disbelief long enough to laugh along with Sonja and Ramona, who are batty. In fact, I left the episode liking all of our Housewives a little bit better. Except for LuAnn, of course, but she’d have to literally morph into a different person for me to raise my opinion of her. Maybe next season.

It looks as though our reunion is going to air entirely on Monday, for which I’ll do a reunion recap if you guys are interested. Either way, I’ll live tweet the reunion while it’s airing at Twitter.com/PurseBlog.

Check out Jung Lee’s event portfolio at FeteNY.com

The invitations she makes look amazing! Great style, too.

Oh my word,gucci wallets! I LOVE her. Love. I have seen her on TV a few times and always wanted to know more; she seems like a fascinating woman. Her bag and accessories are impeccable — exactly as I would have imagined.

I agree. I first saw her on Whose Wedding Is It Any Way? years ago. There was a very moving episode where she bought her parents a house as a token of her appreciation.

A look into her bag is a look into her life. I’m so glad to have just had a glance of the life of an event planner and designer because this may just be what I want to do. Thanks for this Purseblog and Jung Lee!

Wow she does amazing things and have amazing things in her bag!!

OMG I love her and just everything I saw,coach duffle! She has my DREAM job and my new dream goodies in her bag,gucci shoes for cheap designer, lol,gucci shoes online!

love everything…the bag, everything in it, love her!

Neat pics but that lightbulb is scary lol

Because Monday was a holiday,gucci shoes, we skipped Man Bag Monday this week, but that doesn’t mean we don’t appreciate our male audience. Au contraire,gucci wallet! And for our female audience,gucci mens, we figured you would probably appreciate the male model eye candy in this behind-the-scenes look at preparations for the Louis Vuitton Spring 2012 Men’s show. And who doesn’t need a little pick-me-up on a lazy Thursday afternoon? It’s almost the weekend,gucci shoes for boys high tops, ladies and gents.

Two ridiculously expensive black alligator bags in one day, oh my! We previously reported that The Row would release and price their alligator backpack at $39,gucci handbags,000. If you have 40 large to burn, then I have good news for you: the actual retail price is $34,000 and it is available now at Net-A-Porter.

The bad news for the majority of the world is that $34,000 buys a nice car, college tuition,gucci shoes for sale, mortgage payments, or a yearly salary. So hop on the “not-going-to-buy-this-bag-ever” train with me if you fall into that category.

But sticker shock aside, let’s talk about the design of The Row Alligator Backpack.

First off and most obviously, this is a backpack. Some fashion designers have embraced the backpack look over time but there has never been a huge push toward the trend. I prefer my backpack days to be left to highschool, but I don’t deny that a fashionable backpack can be created.

I do think The Row has created a very beautiful backpack, one that even I would wear. The black alligator skin stands out on the body of the bag and then there are adjustable canvas straps,gucci shoes for boys high tops, an internal detachable handle, plenty of pockets,cheap gucci bag, and leather lining. To give a bit of a casual touch, the backpack has a drawstring top. I can easily see both Olsen twins carrying this bag, slung over their shoulder or dangling from their hands, leaving every girl yearning to make this backpack style her own.

The more I look at this bag, the more it grows on me. It might even turn me into a backpack loving girl again. But the price is absurd for a brand that is new to the handbag world (granted, the price is absurd in general).

Buy via Net-A-Porter for $34,000.

While all of us on the PurseBlog team love handbags,gucci shoes for boys high tops, we also find ourselves constantly coveting a plethora of other items. We discuss a wide range of topics at the PurseBlog offices, from real estate to fur coats, and this week I can not stop staring at these three products in particular.

Beautiful skin, the perfect body-hugging dress, and a funky notebook are the items I find myself drawn to. From the highly decadent La Prairie Advanced Marine Biology Set to an ivory Alice + Olivia Victoria Peplum Dress to a quirky Lanvin notebook, these are three things I want this Wednesday.

1. La Prairie Advanced Marine Biology Set | $135 via Neiman Marcus
Our new Director of Sales and Marketing, Hilary, can not stop talking about her obsession with this brand and the Marine Biology collection. She says the foaming mousse cleanser feels like cashmere on your skin and using this line has kept her skin from looking like the winter blues took over.

2. Alice + Olivia Victoria Peplum Dress | $264 via ShopBop
I love a good peplum and am entirely thrilled to see more designers using peplums in their collections,gucci shoes women, not to mention that Alice + Olivia has a way to be completely on-trend without breaking the bank. Instead of opting for black, I think the ivory will showcase the design elements much more.

3. Lanvin Printed notebook | $55 via Net-A-Porter
I carried an Hermes notebook around fashion week in my bag at all times. Sure,gucci belt sale, Hermes is divine, but for a simple notebook to jot down important notes I like the idea of a something a little spunky. The Lanvin notebook features fun drawings by Alber Elbaz that really spice up a simple pad of paper.
