“HUH??? There’s a Real Housewives of Dublin?”
SH reader KSI actually watched the first season of the Real Housewives of Dublin and was kind enough to write her impressions of the Irish Housewives!
The best part of this show is that the theme song is none other than Rhianna’s ” Only girl in the World” I found that funny.
They all have matching gold shiny dresses with layers of make-up painted on as they pose for the camera. They all of course aren’t actually housewives but who cares they are GREAT!
Virginia Macari, is a new Mom and swim wear designer, she is pregnant (sometimes she forgets) and is married to Cass and has 2 step children.
Lisa Murphy, is a Luxurious beauty-salon owner who is also known for being engaged to the Irish celebrity solicitor Gerard Kean.
Danielle Meagher, (Dr. Botox) owns a botox clinic and loves Botox! She considers her some her highest achievement and has no desire to marry she is too young. She seems very athletic and ready for a fight.
Roz Flanagan and Jo Jordan are the socialites.Roz met her husband at 16 was married at 20 and has been married for 28 years. They built their Castle of a home when she was 20 it is beautiful!!! they have 4 daughters 1 lives and works in New York. Jo has been married to James for the past 5 years she has 2 boys one 8 and one 21. She was homeless for a time as a child. She seemed very happy in the start but seemed broken and sad at the end of the 4th episode her husband decides how much his wife needs to know about his business and what she can buy. He also was no help when she had a bout with depression.
A few highlights from the show Victoria gave birth to a baby boy named him Thor. Roz finds out her daughter wants to extend her visa to stay in New York she is less than thrilled. Jo’s older son wants to move to Australia her Mom is sad they are close Roz had a big party on St. Patty’s day Danielle went with Jo and James. James was not thrilled to go. Danielle gives Jo a hard time about smoking. Jo and James have a big fight they are not doing well at all. The girls went to the Style awards Lisa and her boyfriend were nominated Danielle would not go she said it was a waste. Virginia was excited to get back out and party but sad to leave her son and she could not drink.
Virginia had a “Sip and See” party for Thor (a party where family and friends come to meet the baby ad drink wine and spirits) NOTE: They ripped that offa Phaedra!! Roz and Jo talked about her problems with James. The girls went to lunch Danielle was elsewhere they were not too upset cause Virginia said she tends to talk of herself a lot . Later Virgina and Jo were having lunch Danielle showed up and trouble was brewing these two just don’t click! Danielle just does not want to hear anything about her and her breastfeeding at all! She tells her stop talking about it! I did it 9 years ago I don’t want to hear about it anymore.
The last episode Danielle and Jo are talking , Jo is trying to get Danielle not to be such a bitch, Danielle is telling Jo she is drinking too much Jo says “I like a glass of Pino Grigio now and again” Danielle says ” This is 1800 Pino Grigio.” Jo was at Virginia’s trying on some of her new swim wear collection and she looked hot. Lisa met with a wedding planner and Jo went along. Lisa invited the girls to lunch at Cork then dinner, at dinner there was a big fight! Danielle started with Roz then Virginia was mad so she confronted Danielle ,then Jo was brought in and asked what was said to both. Then Danielle told Virginia to shut-up. Jo was mad at Danielle. Danielle apologized a few days later. Lisa said nothing. Virginia’s Swimsuit show was a hit. That is it for the 4 shows looks like when it comes back Thor’s Christening is coming up.
Best line came from Virginia-
“She has more issues than Vogue”
Lisa Murphy…
Danielle Meagher comments on worst plastic surgery…
Jo Jordan scares the piss out of me.
Lisa looks like Kim Z in the pics. Danielle looks like she is drinking through an imaginary straw.
I thought Virginia was Hagface in the first picture. Is it me, or does all that eye makeup make them all look like drag queen wannabes?
These girls look really haggard.
Thanks for the description! So I take it no Alien ShapeShifter Dana yet?
Lisa, what’s your personal style? “I like evening gowns and jeans.” My gawd it was like watching a balloon with a slow leak!
I think what would actually make the housewives better if they had a signature song from real artists for their intros, like for BH, Weezer opening and they wives are introduced to “Beverly Hills…that’s where I want to be,” and when they get ready to actually speak, the music fades. Like for Atlanta, “Southern Girls” can play.
She models? All I saw was her chin.
That’s not very nice…
Where can we watch this?
Ok is it me??? ffs get some real women for a change..Its looks line our Real Housewives just in Ireland
Dublin has to be one of the most boring & overrated places on earth (very nice people though).
I’d love to see a Real Housewives of London or Paris
My people!!!!
I have to say the Dark haired pregnant one reminds me so much of Kyle…..
They all have weird mouths and look like fancy Chicago Mob wives. You know kinda broke-ass bitches when it comes to looks so they slap on a ton of makeup and then freeze it with botox. Rugged is a word that comes to mind.
My they are very un appealing to my eyeballs. They sound and look like trash. Emphasis on the work “look”. Could there be cast worse than DC and Miami?
Uh-oh…a christening??? Pinot Grigio??? They’re sure taking a lot of pages from Bravo’s playbook.
