September 17, 2012 Bravo…
Rich and Kathy Wakile.. “Hurry up and take the picture! My wife can only keep her eyes open for 20 seconds… tops!”
Food, family time, and the best conversation; These are some of the wonderful things we live for. I just love that Lindsey made breakfast with Albie and Chris. It just goes to prove that it’s not what you make that’s important, it’s who you share it with. As far as I could see, they did a great job and prepared some of my Jersey favorites.
The Manzo boys are certainly no strangers to being in the kitchen, after years of growing up at The Brownstone. If you haven’t heard the news, it looks like they are taking their love for food and the old neighborhood into a new endeavor. Lots of luck to Albie and Chris as they embark on their new restaurant. I love that that they don’t forget where they came from and the taste for simple New Jersey pleasures.
I’m so happy to see Jacqueline and Ashlee’s relationship getting stronger! Ashlee seems so happy to be on her own and taking care of herself. Jacqueline seems like she’s biting her tongue here and there and learning to pick her battles.
Last week I mentioned that I didn’t go to college despite my late father’s pleas. I did take all of the necessary classes for college and my grades were always very good, so I was lucky enough to attend a Technical and Vocational high school that offered the best of both worlds. I was able to explore my artistic abilities and see where they might take me in terms of career choices as well as follow an academic curriculum that would allow me to get into the finest universities. However, at a very young age I decided I wanted to be an artist/cosmetologist. It’s kind of the same thing if you think about it. When I told my dad about my decision, his first instinct was the same as Caroline and Al’s. Papa Pierri said, “OK, there’s no free lunch. After you graduate and get your license let’s start looking for a spot to open your own salon.” Can you imagine how afraid I was? Never wanting to disappoint my father, I promised him that indeed it was my goal to open and operate my own business one day, just as he had done so successfully for so many years. But true to form I was cautious and wanted to gain experience before I had him invest in a business that I was afraid would fail, if I didn’t have the necessary tools. I’m happy that Lauren didn’t get discouraged after her first attempt at business, because now she has Cafface and it’s doing really well.
When I was growing up, my parents worked very hard to instill a strong work ethic in all of us. They told me, my sister, and my brothers that honest, hard work never killed anyone and that nothing is handed to you. Rich and I both feel that whether it’s a college education preparing you for your future goals or helping get a business started, they are both an investment in your children’s future.
When Rich and I were first married, he picked up where my father left off. It’s funny to see how that happens. It seems more often than not girls grow up to marry men with their father’s mind set. Rich and I bought our first investment property the first year we were married in hopes of opening my own salon. We still own that property, however, Kathy’s salon never made it there. We never expected that I would fall so completely in love with being a mommy that I couldn’t bear the idea of leaving my kids to go open a business. I thank God every day that Rich’s businesses were successful enough to allow me to stay home with my kids.
I realize now that during those years of being a stay at home mom, nurturing my children, and focusing on my love for being a housewife, I had a lot of time to get involved with hobbies that revolved around my new calling. While Rich was out in the business world providing for our family and our future, I was at home investing my time into our family’s future as well. Like so many stay at home moms, I learned to be a “do it yourself” type of housewife. My philosophy was why pay someone to do something that I could do myself. Most of the time I could do it faster and even better, not to mention more economically. I was able to do it all; everything from gardening, painting, and redecorating to refinishing furniture. But my love for cooking and baking always remained a constant. I guess it was born from necessity. It was something I had to do daily, and I loved every minute of it. I encourage everyone to find what makes you feel happy and useful and embrace it and make it work for you.
It was the hobbies that brought immediate gratification to both me and my family.
I loved it so much that we were always hosting parties large and small at our home. I loved experimenting with Italian food as well as Lebanese and everything in between.
As time went on, I was able to think about what I would do with myself when my kids didn’t need as much of my attention. Would I get a job? Would I finally open the salon as my father and Rich hoped? Once again the artistic side of me kicked in, and since I had been enjoying making cakes and desserts for years, it seemed only natural to me to find a way to produce a great dessert. I wanted to create a dessert line that allows you to indulge in elegant and decadent treats that satisfy one’s love for sweets yet controls the portion size without sacrificing flavor. By using the finest ingredients at their peak of seasonal freshness, Dolci della Dea – Goddess Sweets was born.
I am thrilled to announce that my meeting with Bindi USA went incredibly well, despite Rich’s constant interruptions and jokes. As you can all see, everyone is fair game to Rich’s comedic comments. Good thing I asked him to let me run this meeting. Can you imagine what could have happened if I hadn’t asked him to zip it? I’m so happy that both Atillio and Giacamo picked up on Rich’s sense of humor pretty quickly. I had to interrupt the good ‘ole boys a few times that day and get them to focus on business. Through all of the silly comments, I managed to get business taken care of and I’m happy to tell you we have partnered with them to create a more realistic way of enjoying dessert while maintaining a long term balanced lifestyle. I’m so pleased that Attillio Bindi, Owner/President, and Giacamo Berreta, Vice President of Bindi USA, were very receptive to my concept. Together we have been working incredibly hard for the last year to perfect my recipes and ideas. Dolci della Dea is at the final stages of quality control. I’m excited to announce that after months and months of experimenting with different ingredients and packaging in efforts to maintain flavor, freshness, and dessert integrity, my Dolci della Dea – Goddess Sweets will launch very soon on QVC with my introductory product The Cannoli Kit. Now you too can be the Goddess of Sweets for your family and friends in your own kitchen.
I’m very proud to be able to present this to you all. Even though it’s taken a few years, I pray that my father can see what I’m doing by fulfilling my dreams and following through with his desire for me to have my own business. Check out my website www.kathywakile.com to find out more about Dolci della Dea.
Hard work does pay off and that brings me to Melissa and her meeting with the music producers. After working on her songs and spending endless hours practicing in both the recording studio and on stage performing, she has proven herself and can show that she has what it takes to take her career to the next level. I wish her all the best as she makes her mark in the music industry.
All of this now brings me to the fashion show. When I agreed to go I made a conscious decision to stay out of any drama. I was happy that Teresa and I had a great lunch at my house when we got home from the west coast. I was looking forward to a drama free night, and I thought it was a good sign that all of the ladies were attending. I felt that everyone was making an effort to move forward and leave the craziness of California behind us. I hoped that we could all be together again at the same event and at the same table without issue.
When we arrived, I have to be honest, I was a bit put off and upset to see the number of men that were in attendance. The venue had a nightclub atmosphere, and Rich would have had a great time there, especially since our niece Malake was one of the models that walked in the show. If you watch closely you can see me blow her a kiss as she walked by our table. I just would have liked to have known that it was an option for our husbands to accompany us. However, as events unfolded, it was obvious as to why some of us were kept out of the loop as far as having our husbands attend with us.
I still can’t figure out why this creep thought it would be of any interest to Teresa and Kim that he claimed to know Melissa. I must admit to being naïve. I had no idea of the manipulation that was about to unfold. When he walked over to the table I thought it seemed very strange and contrived that he kept going on and on about how he knew Melissa. What was even more bizarre was the fact that Teresa didn’t call security to get rid of this loser. What was he doing there? She had to have known what his intentions were, since she met him earlier in the day while getting her hair and makeup done. After viewing that scene it’s pretty clear to everyone that he wasn’t there to pass out party favors.
What happens next is just a mess, and I don’t even want to play it over in my brain any longer. Till this day I keep thinking about it and wondering if there was any way this could have been avoided. Could someone have stopped the impending disaster from occurring? You will have to watch and see what happens and judge for yourselves. I would love to hear your thoughts. As for me, I stuck to my plan and stayed out of it that evening.
See you next week when unfortunately things get even uglier.
Lots of Love,
Kathy
As usual kiss the Manzos asses..and then blah blah blah.
Kathy doesn’t realize how eventually the Manzo’s will turn on her eventually.
The manzos are already turning on Lookers.
What do you mean by that?
Maybe it was Don that informed production about MeGo’s stripper past. Just like they did over the Danielle book thing. Don seemed to get awfully touchy about it when Tree said that she was set up and maybe Jax was involved. MeGo should have never gone to Don asn ask that she make nice with Tree.
Interesting made, I wouldn’t put it past the Don
Don is the known liar, it is why Dina doesn’t speak to her….Don is sneaky !!
Ya, I wouldn’t put it past Caro. There’s no doubt that Caro wanted Tre gone, and she surely doesn’t love Mego or have any loyalty to her, so she thought she was killing two birds with one stone. The producers kept telling everyone to be calm, and seemed to be structuring a lot of it, they were in on it with Caro/Jax/the Manzo/Laurita clan. (And Kim D. was quite instrumental too.)
I hate this b*tch…after all of that she still blames Tre and says she should have called security….
Why didn’t KopyKathy call security? She was a guest, just like Teresa. Call security for what? The guy wasn’t threatening anyone, he was talking. No one told him to go away.
Exactly Antonella!!
Kathy is such an ASS!!
He said hello to Melissa, and asked if she remebered him..Big freakin deal!!
He didn’t call her garbage?
Yes! But they still need to make Teresa out to be the bad guy. She didn’t say one nice word about Teresa.
I’m so done with these women. I’ll never buy, watch or support them. Each person refuses to own up to what they are doing.
So according to froggie, mothers who work love their kids less?
I think that’s what she and Jac, and Caroline has been trying to say. Working mother’s have not time for the kids. Look it Caroline how she ends up, crying about her ADULT children leaving the house…GET A LIFE KOMAKATH.
Kathy please! Surely you are not gonna pull the ole PT/Alex trick of always wanting to have your spouse at places he don’t need to be at. Can it. Its a fashion show, and you might have seen a fair amount of humans walking around of the ding-song persuasion but most of them were prolly gay(or looking for camera time) so…. its perfectly normal for the househusbands to be left out of this thing.
Side note MP, your past icon reminded me of Kristn Chenoweth–but you are even prettier!
awww bless you. She is a doll! Thanks
KomaKathy was at the fashion show last year, right? Did date rape Richie go with her then? I didn’t think so. The atmosphere of the fashion show is the same as last year as far as men being present. Why is she getting her pre-rhinoplasty nose all out of joint that her pervert husband wasn’t allowed to come?
bahahahaha.
I could have sworn I saw Richie in the clip of joe and Kim D arguing.
He was there, I think Kathy may have called him but he was there.
Gasp. are you insinuating that Katfish lied? Rainbows, unicorns and fish cooch lied to us? Of course Date rape Richie had to rescue Princess katfiish!
LMAO at this thread! And..I think Joe Gorga and Richie were together, at a place nearby. When Melissa called Joe, Mr. Brylcreem went with him
reece he was ,for ocne he looked speeechlees.
date rape Ritchie! LMAO!!!
What is Froggy talking about? None of the ladies brought their husbands. She gets her panties in a wad over the dumbest things.
She should of been mad that Chuckie Jr. was allowed to attend and her daughter wasn’t. Maybe she had her panties in a wad ‘cuz she thought Teresa brought Juicy and passed him off as her BIL, Pete.
Kathy, I have no interest in you or ‘the world according to Kathy.’ in my opinion you sold out your own blood for your pathetic little nibble at fame. I’ll never buy your products and won’t patronize Bindi either because of their connection to YOU. People like the Wakiles that shrug and smile as they tip toe over the carnage make my skin crawl.
@meowalert, what a perfect description of them.
me neither. I will never EVER purchase or support a single product endorsed, hawked or made by anyone from RHONJ except Teresa.
I agree. I will never buy her Fish desserts. Yuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!
meowalert-
ITA about the wakiLIES! Kathy instigates fights and then says, “I wasn’t trying to blah blah and more blah!” I hate bitches like that. I have heard of the term “NICE NASTY” from a poster from the south and Kathy sums that up to perfection. I can’t believe this bitch and her date rape perverted husband have the backing of any company.
So in the WACKile’s household “No free lunch” actually means “Fund your daughter’s second business venture after she walked away from her first after 24 hours.” I only skimmed her blog but I don’t see any mentioning of her husband’s fish comment. UGGHHHHHHH!!! Well, she’s sticking to the script- keep on blaming Tree at all costs. Who cares if it doesn’t make sense. THe viewers are stoopid and they will fall in line eventually. Call security?? For what? “This man used to work with my SIL and he came over and said hello! Get him out of here!!” Damn u, Tree!!
Don’t forget about DonCaro funding her precious boys’ partnership in blk and their new restaurant.
Yeah buddy!
The ToxiCaro household must feel like thaey are under pressure NOT to let their kids fail. Like it would somehow rub off on them? OR…the kids are perceived to be a future lifeboat and the ownership ropes must be tied ASAP! Preserving the family dynamic AND lining parental pockets (potentially) at the same time.
Thanks, how could I forget. Oh perish the thought of these ‘children of privilege’ actually have normal jobs that weren’t bankrolled by mommy and daddy.
The reruns of “Albie not getting into law school” were on this weekend. Another smoke and mirrors by Caroline. It would be against the law to not allow someone with Dyslexia to attend law school. The ability to get into law school depends on the score made on the LSAT and the grades you made in college. Although harder for a person with Dyslexia to make higher grades and score higher on the LSAT it has been done by many. After hearing all the Manzo lies these last few years, it makes me wonder if Ablie really suffers from Dyslexia.
i wonder too…..im sure if the school said that they could sue,plus he made it for years before.If you have dyslexia or and learning disability the school works with you,tutors,extra time on test/reports ect…You take the class over…so many things just like lapband weight probs he took the easy way out.the manzo have money which makes life a little easier.
Well, it is nice to finally get an actualy blog from Kathy. I have to admit that her deserts always looked amazing. I am happy for her that she is going forward with her dream and I hope that it works out for her. I really enjoy seeing people succeed, and one’s person’s success does not detract from the success of another. It is obvious that Kathy has a passion for baking and has worked hard at baking for a long, time. I will watch for her on QVC. I just hope that she does not allow Richie to be on camera with her!
As for the fiasco at the fashion show. I will begin by saying that I am not a Tre fan. I really do not trust her. But, I am tending to think that she had nothing to do with the set up of Melissa. I think it was Kim D, trying hard, once again to become a HW. She is a nasty, mean and hateful beotch, who would stoop to any level for camera time. I guess, more will become clear next week. The whole thing is just sickening! And, if indeed, Kim D and/or Bravo set this in motion and caused all of this pain to these families, SHAME on Them…..that is NOT entertainment!
I can’t even imagine buying Koma’s desserts after the fish comment.
Her name is Katfish now..lol..yeah and who wants deserts from someone with hygene issues?
How apropos to name her after a bottom feeder.
Good one Shar! Katfish from now on….I will adopt that name for her when I comment about her…which is rare because I find her to be irrelavent.
What kind of man says that about their wife ? So not funny,and totally gross. If it was edited to make it seem like he said it,and didn’t (like he’s claiming) then the producers are low lifes.
Definitely don’t get how that could have been edited. Straight out the horse’s mouth, no? Either way, totally grossed out. Everytime I see her or hear her name from this point forward she will be associated with crotch rot.
I do find all the comments I’ve seen online about this absolutely hysterical.
crotch rot…LOL now that was funny.
I agree, that fish comment is Disgusting!
I am curious to see how Kathy comes across on QVC. What we saw of the “presentation” to the desert company was amateurish and Richie was, as usual disgusting and not at all funny!
aint i know….gross…wow a cannnoil kit! how hard is making a cannoil that you need a kit?her sesserts in the passed looked very messy.im not sure i would by them even if rich didnt say the fish comment.they seem very basic. Whole foods kings as had the smaller sizes for years. jusy saying….
I know you and I are on opposite sides of the fence here but I do appreciate your honesty regarding this alleged set up. Really! Now I will be as honest as I can be and say Im a little disappointed that T wasnt involved. I really dont think she was. At least, that is what I think so far. Jacs behavior this whole episode was suspicious to me. How pouty was she at Ts house? She was NOT happy to see Mel and T getting along. Very whiny and sad sacky. I thought she was going to march right up to T and say…Im taking my toys and going home! And then she was all eyes and ears at the PFS. Just waiting for the shoe to drop. I never thought she would have had anything to do with the Mel set up….but now I wonder. You realize of course that Kim D and Jac are good friends, too. They STILL are…a year later. Maybe those two together cooked this up….or maybe Jac knew about it in advance. It just looks like she is anticipating something…..when everyone else is just chatting and acting normal. Anyway, Kate, I didnt reply all of this for you….just had a lot to say…
Also noticed how calm Cacawhine was when KimD said that Teresa would be at the table. I mean two weeks ago, you wanted NOTHING to do with her, NOW you don’t mind sitting on the same table…uh?. I think everyone was involved EXCEPT Teresa. The blame was to be placed solely on Teresa. I love the fact that the other fours keeps on telling the viewers to READ ACROSS THE LINE, now doing the LAST episode they want us to READ THE SUBTITLES…yeah that’s gonna make me hate Teresa…They have been trying for the past 20 episodes and NO ONE IS BITING….
Like anyone can keep The Truth(!) hidden forever! Uh, it’s the truth folks. Drama aside, what can you do for someone who lies about who they are!? (See MeWhorga sibling Twitter behavior) “Let’s start flipping tables up in this…tables here are bolted to the ground?! I hate this place!”
Hi, Parkview. I always appreciate hearing the point of view of others. Though I do get tired of all the “nasty hatred.” But, that is just me.
I also have to say that I agree about Jax and her behavoir at Tre’s house and her coldness at the fashion show. She is not helping matters by behaving like a spoiled child! As to whether she was part of the set up with Kim D, I don’t know. I still tend to think this was ALL Kim D. She really is a nasty pot stirer and, remember, Kim D has already been bad mouthing Melissa and Joe.
I think Jax is just wishy, washy and that is why she is still friends with Kim D, I mean who else does she have, except the Don, and that cannot be any fun!
You could be right about jacs level of involvement because certainly she is wishy washy. It seemed strange to me the way she acted at Ts house. She had this look like she wanted to say……ok melissa. You think everything is great now. Just you wait and see.
-and she actually said “maybe you two want some alone time”. Very childish and jealous sounding. Im not sure whether or not jac had any involvement in the set up or not. But i think she knew ahead of time.
Parkview so right ,so right.
Kathy certainly used her Teresa connection to egt her azz on the show. Richie is not haha funny but creepy.
If sex predator Richie had attended the fashion show, can you imagine him perving on the models and making inappropriate comments. He is so nasty and creepy. He makes my skin crawl.
Richie has is Creep Mcreepster. Kathy is very defensive about him and it makes you wonder….
What I don’t get is why Kathy isn’t more embarrassed when her creepy husband says these sick things..and on tv? I would be so embarrassed to have lowered myself to have married him. Disgusting…and really ugly. I don’t think Kathy dated much.
Apparently Katfish went from daddy’s house to Richie’s house. Ugh. She is such a fraud. Richie the perv is a huge douche and definitely gives off the creep vibe that women are genetically programmed to run away from.
I agree with everything you said about sex predator Richie, but what is wrong with Katfish that she in unaffected by his inherent creep factor?
BAHAHAHA, I love it! Katfish is shall remain from this day forward.
Oh man. I hate to say this now, but I just love Catfish (not Katfish). Now I can not order catfish fingers without getting sick.
I think Katfish has low self esteem and was happy to have “the fairy tale”. They both are workin’ overtime proclaiming that they have the perfect marriage. What a sham! I think behind closed doors she is as repulsed as we are. Katfish did not address his comment because she has years of experience looking the other way and ignoring him. Her first moniker was Koma Kathy ..IMO very apt.
I guess Richie was the best Kathy could do and she settled for him. Because really, what other man would want her?
Agree! I used to work for a Child Protection Services agency and Richie makes my skin crawl! I am not accusing him of anything!! But the way he is behaving on this show is way beyond inappropriate! Maybe he thinks he is Andre Dice Clay and is joking, but I can’t believe Bravo is presenting this man to TV audiences.
I Richie is harmless, he knows his lane to stay in. His mouth & wandering eyes needs help, but he isn’t too bad. I rather be around Richie instead “Juicy Joe or FakeA&$ Crooks
Can you imagine what Richie Rich says OFF camera! It must be a scream.
I’d rather play a game of cards with Joe Giudice than have to put up with Richie oogling my goodies any day!
sorry i like juicy he was right on the money with carowhine great with his kids.
Kathy, don’t understand why you feel it is up to Teresa to call for security. She is a guest (as were you all) at this show. If you feel a guest can call security than ANY of the ladies at that table could have used their considerably loud voices (and that includes you, babe) to call for help. You and the other ladies,,,way, stow that….RHONY cast members (you are certainly not ladies) are so transparent in your rush to paint Teresa as the villian. No one is without sin in this cast. This season is not fun. I started it and I will finish it out but if the cast in back in total…I am done.
I am so with you, will not watch next season if all the nasty, hurtful people come back. Can they not see what Bravo is doing to them?
its not all bravo…..they said yes to selling out their cuz and sil….just heart breaking…then they time up with the freaking manzos who laughed in their face.
I find it odd that Kathy would jump in every issue from friendships to toasts and step back on a real family issue. She has a sit down with Teresa and Melissa about everything but let the two of them fend for themselves at the fashion show.
She knows it’s true …Mego was a stripper.
I don’t think she was and can prove that she wasn’t. Which makes this look that much worse. I recall that at the time this took place the owner or the manager released a statement that Melissa was not a dancer at the club.
I believe she was a stripper. There was a lot of covering up when certain people worked at Bravo.
orignal…..people can be paid off
I just found out that lookers isn’t a strip club. At worst she danced clothed. Not a big deal really.
People are going to believe anything they want and make excuses so they can
Fact is People hate Melissa so they will automatically believe the worse
even when proof is present to dispute it. Melissa dance in a bikini lets lynch her and take her kids away from her and brand a Scarlet S in her forehead She dance therefore she must have hooked on the side hey maybe she did Heroin to I mean isnt that what dancers do.
some stripppers are really good people just trying to earn money ,others are slutty and do anything for a 20.
And some exotic dancers dance for the attention. This is the catagory i would put melissa in. Could be the worst reason of all.
Wow Cyn…good point!
There’s no way. Dancers have rhythm.
why would you need rhythm for a pole?
Lol mc, you don’t need rhythm, nor even to dance much. Anyone that has ever been to a strip club knows that many times, they don’t dance much or even really strip, they wear basically lingerie and do a lot of posing, chatting, and lap “dancing”… Not every stripper does a big themed routine like “Showgirls”.
Disaster? What is she speaking of? A person telling the TRUTH is now considered a disaster? Why should Tre call security? The guy had a “legitimate” reason for being at the fashion show, and HELLLOOO he was miked.
I am waiting to hear KomaKatty’s response to Richie’s Old School Respectful comment that she tastes like fish. That, to me is even more cringeworthy as Joe calling Tre the C word.
And, whomever set MeGo up, big freaking deal, because it is the truth that MeGo lied about.
Well it is after all Teresa’s fault that Melissa was a stripper before she met JoGo. Why can’t anyone see that actions have consequences? Not a soul really minds that Melissa was a stripper they are incensed that she was found out. Is that like kill the messenger?
But, everyone hates on Tre because if they ask “How are things”, she says fine??????? Are we watching Cray-Cray world here?
Sparklie hi….I agree to the fact that no one gives a flying donkies butt that Mego was a stripper. Its that she must of been embarrased or thought it wrong because she lied about it! Do ya get that CrackheadCaro,JackoffJax and Katfish? Isn’t that what you all have been asswhooping Tre about this whole season? We just hate her because she is a liar? So ladies bring on some of that same hate for MeGoForAnyone…..By the way those men to whores husbands you really didn’t look like white knights to the rescue…Just saying….
Bravo needs to get rid of her!
I have an overwhelming urge to vomit and I only skimmed the blog. What a fake, fake, fake you are, Kathy.
I’ll save the trouble of reading it b/c it sucked. This episode was the one episode everyone has been waiting to see for a year now and she spends 3/4 of her blog talking about her life dreams and being a mom, WTF did that have to do w/ this episode? She is a waste of space.
she’s trying to make herself appear like the saint that she thinks people really see her as. what a joke and waste of entertainment. i don’t even bother with ther blogs. I just go to the comments.
I wish someone would explain to me why it’s so bad to be a stripper. Of course, I didn’t understand the whole ‘store bought cookie’ fiasco until you guys explained it. My thought is, if you do a job, you’re good at it and you get paid, you are a proffesional. Good on you. I just don’t get the horror of being a stripper in the past. Is there something I should know?
It is demeaning to women IMO. It’s not as if they dance usually they have to hustle drinks at exorbitant prices. Some clubs even allow lap dances. I use to manage shitty apartments in college (sorry no silver spoon here) and quite a few of our tenants were dancers. I was appalled at the stories they would tell about what they were expected to do to keep their jobs. many of them could not go onstage and take their clothes off without being drunk, high or both. Cocaine was their drug of choice . I saw a lot of pretty girls get caught up in a cycle of owing their soul and their paycheck to the “manager” who was a glorified pimp. The money was good I suppose, But what heck happens when you get older? I felt ten times older than the dancers because they couldn’t see the trap they were in. I actually liked them but IMO it’s almost a form of sexual slavery. MeHo was lucky she got out. And PS not condemning anyone who stripped.
The Cannolli Kit!????? WTF! They sell this at Costco already. You can buy the shells at any grocery store in an Italian neighborhood, mix some ricotta with powdered sugar, add some mini chocolate chips and you have a cannolli. And the mini desserts have been sold at Applebees for years. whatever. if there are people stoopid enough to pay QVC’s top dollar pricing and shipping charges, then let them waste their hard earned social security checks.
agree. i won’t bother with QVC.
LOL I think I put that in my post that they are a dime a dozen. She’s dillusional.
At that meeting with the dessert people, KomaKathy looked so fat. Man, she must have gained 20 or 30 pounds since the season began taping. She needs to lay off the desserts and maybe pick up a copy of ‘Skinny Italian’.
Ana, maybe she is dipping into the BLK, look at the Manzo’s, Laurita’s they are all getting fat!
I also noticed Kathy is looking fatter than usual and, I hate to say it, but it looks like the Wakile kids are getting bigger as well. I think they should all lay off the desserts for awhile.
LOL Ana! Your comment about the Skinny Italian cracked me up.
i mean rosie had the band and i feel she is huge….you need some will power lisa lampanlli really tryed everthing from going away to a heath spa to a chef she couldnt lose the weight .but she used her weight lose surgery as a tool and looks great maybe to skinny. she had the same dr as the manzos. she and her husband tryed and did everything the dr said to do.unlike lauren what a joke. caroline teaches there kids to give up.
Oh God, another artist. Kathy and MeGo are always calling themselves artists. Insulting
The people working at Subways are called ‘sandwich artists’.
Touche’!
Kathy and her husband literally sicken me!
“Housewife”? Wasn’t Ward Cleaver the last person to use that awful word? Kathy, I think the word you are searching for is “homemaker”. It’s vital in how we raise our daughters to throw out the archaic words.
Now she’s an artist? This is getting painful ;P
She’s beyond delusional and stupid if she thinks baking is a form of art and that she’s an “artist”.
I completely agree. Hey KatFish, the term is “baker”
and a con artist lol
yep…she’s a baked conartist alright. many wouln’t agree with me, but her desserts are amatuer. I am a baker and I know this. it’s easier to diguise when your desserts are smaller.
Baking IS an art form for some but I seriously doubt Katfish is anything more than a mom whose resume consists of her daughter’s school bake sales. She makes me ill.
Why would Teresa call security? Even if she did not like the guy it doesn’t warrant security to be called. If I am correct this is a free country and freedom to speak….oh the Gorgas/Manzos and Lauritas want the constitution rewritten to include “freedom of speech except to them and about them”! Got it! Even if T did play a part in this set up I say good for her, after 2 years of being bashed this is mild compared to what she has been going through!!
Koma Kathy you are not an artist you are a Kopy Kat. If you make desserts you are a baker not an artist.
Yes she is a copy cat to the point of calling desert happy endings at her buisness meeting which is the name of the desert chapter in Teresa’s book!!!
sd your right she gets everything from t,doesnt even bat an eye
Hmmm…something smells fishy. LOL!
OMG…i almost threw up in my mouth…The most disgusting comment ever uttered on TV.
Kathy is biting the hand that feeds her. if it wasn’t for Tre she wouldn’t be on the show at all.
Seriously Kathy? Teresa should have called security? What because he said hi to Melissa? Oh I forgot….this was Teresas fashion show. Teresa probably thought and hoped that he would just go away after saying hello. He never said at that point anything upsetting to Melissa. Ridiculus. And besides, Mel is the one who kept talking about him…..Where do I know him from?…..hmmmm
Ahhh Tuna aka KomaKathy… lmao
Ugh…Rich is a tragedy!
How about KatFish !
I LOVE KatFish!!!! I think we need to make that happen!! LOL
I think it’s entirely possible that Bravo DID indeed edit that little nasty line of Richie’s in over the comments he made about Kathy’s desserts, but to that I say – SO WHAT! Deal with it, Rich. This is what you signed up for; this is what you sold your soul for. And like someone else said on one of these threads, there’s a reason Bravo knew the audience would be inclined to believe that would be something that would come out of his mouth. He’s a pig. Bravo surely didn’t stick a fake b*ner in his shorts that morning on the RV and force him to run around and poke women with it.
I think it was edited too. But this begs the question; What on earth was he talking about that tasted like fish? her desserts? Nothing should taste like fish but fish.
Warning: video not PETA approved
I think it was a sexual innuendo. Crude but when isn’t Rich but Kathy finds it so romantic and humorous!
Also noticed that Kathy didn’t claim editing on twitter last night.Just Richie. Nor did she make excuses for him over that comment in her blog.
I would like to go on record right now as saying I would rather my husband call me a C*** than to say I tasted like fish. No scratch that, he bet not call me anything ‘cept honey.
Or do you like Bitch better? LOL
LOL. Sure why not. But speaking of edit, did you catch what those evil producers did to Milania. They spliced in her saying “You are not the boss of me” to make it seem like she was talking to her mother. We all know she prolly said that to Gia. Stoopid producers.
Tree seems like a spanking kind of Mom. I think that if she said it to Tree she would have received a swat on the behind. Old school remember.
Exactly.
It did t sound like a edit to me I wouldnt put it past Tre to allow her kids to talk to her like that They see their father say much worse and Tre dosnt say a word to him. They probably think its ok. I hope they dont sass their teachers.
One thing about that scene though what was Tre trying to say when she said she dosnt speak normal Italian but dialect? i was HUH? was she trying to say she speaks a different dialect how many are there and are they similar or real different? I was suprised that the Kids dont speak it already
I speak dialect mostly everyone that speaks italian does. my uncle is an italian teacher and didnt want my cousin to learn dialect so she wanted till high school.Every part of italy has a different dialect. just like the usa….
And why again are they all setting up next week to be sort of bomb shell I’m guessing about Teresa and her mic left on and the TRUTH will finally come out. What are they talkn about? Like anyone now gives Bravo credit for letting the truth out – they are such manipulators and editing experts even if something was said – I don’t think I’d believe it. They all watched the last 3 episodes already so they’re still trying to save their buts.
Why would Tre need to call the cops. It’s not her event. If they were uncomfortable they should have informed the host, Kim D. Don’t blame Tre because she met the guy earlier. Why the dramatics over meeting someone you once worked with.
kathy is soooo fake. i hate that more than anything else they all have done. her husband is a pig,
really a pig; on so many occasions. he is not funny. he is not good father material. her kids must
here this at home. who is she kidding w/ the old school, respect? there is nothing, nada, respectful
about your husband. you showed your kids, it is okay to hate on someone; if you get paid for it.
karma is a bitch, so i would be holding my breath if i were you.
I just watch a clip of next week’s episode Mel and Tre are in the restroom talking Tre ask Mel if she knew the guy Mel is still denying that she doest remember who he is Then Tre tells Mel that she met the guy Angelo earlierd that day at the salon and he informed Tre that mel used to work for him. Mel looking like Damn my secret is out…
I did not see it that way. I thought Mel just looked matter of fact; I still maintain Mel was in on this from the beginning; she fed this info to Bravo to secure a casting position.
Im thinking this right now….Mel set this up because she wasnt really a stripper and knows it will eventually come out that the rumors are all false. In the mean time, why not use the rumors against Teresa and set her up? Jac knew all about it because her and Mel are good friends. And Jac looked like she was anticipating something at the show. Kinda looking around like…..where is he? She was all eyes and ears. Again, Wile E Coyote Jac……MAJOR backfire.
Melissa said she was a bartender and dancer. She said she always had bra and panties on.
Ya, it is a thin line. If she worked at a gentlemen’s club, wearing basically stripper atire, and she never got on stage but most likely posed and flirted and got tips from men…idk, I think that’s basically still a stripper. Maybe not a professional showgirl, but still pretty much a stripper in training.
It’s a stripper that lacks the talent for dance…story of MeGo’s life…stripper who can’t dance, singer that can’t sing…
I read somewhere that the dancers at Lookers don’t even get nekkid. They just dance around in skimpy attire. So why not fess up if she was a dancer. It isn’t so different than what she does now with her “music career”, ‘cept she added lip synching poorly to godawful autotuned songs to her repertoire.
@ Ana I’m confused as well. In NJ you cannot strip nude, you must wear pasties and a g-string – minimally – if they serve liquor on the premises so…if MeGo worked at an establishment with a bar that serves alcohol and not just mixers (BYOBs do that sort of thing and THEY are allowed full nudity) then why do they keep saying *stripper*?
You all can shred me to pieces, BUT I like Richie and Kathy. Melissa “GOGO DANCER/SKRIPPER THANK U JESUS Gorga’s sister Kim Pirrella went hard on twitter last night & said THE WALLIES AIN’T S@$&!. Everyone is TWEEFING (TWITTER BEEF/FIGHTING)..Social Media is a dam mess!
@DDisher, LOL at your comment, “Of course, I didn’t understand the whole ‘store bought cookie’ fiasco until you guys explained it.” I was at Wholefood this weekend and they had Pizzelles, I just chuckled to myself about the cookie gate and they kept it moving. Btw I like Pizzelles.
Kathy’s blog reminded me of a Forward to one of Martha Stewart’s old cookbooks. Martha would always trace her recipes to her childhood growing up in Nuttley, NJ. Kathy’s blog was a promotion for her long awaited project. P.s. I think the Bravo producers tied Richie up (and he enjoyed it) and wouldn’t let him come to the show!
I swear, Richie is one more inappropriate comment and one more creepy stalker moment away to becoming a sexual predator.
Makes me think….Jac said a mutually friend of hers and T’s was texing her about T being involved.Maybe it was Melissa giving her the heads up that the plan was in motion(that phone was in her hand).I also find it odd that when pete G came to the table everyone acknowledged he was there by looking….but here comes the lookers guy and the Febus crew didn’t even notice(Lauren leans in and tells Caroline somerhing that makes her laugh).When have we ever seen that kind of connection between those two??.They knew what was about to happen.complete setup!
Also what mutual friend is going to side between mutual friends.?
Good observations, they were all staring at Pete, but didn’t really look at Lookers dude.
Yes! None of them looked at Lookers dude because they all knew he was coming. They wanted it to seem like they were caught unawares. Note to Bravo….when you hire people to act….hire actors, not wannabe actors. The only person at that table IMO who seemed like she had a genuine reaction, was Teresa. If she was faking that, she should be on Glee.
Sh!t she should be cast opposite Al Pacino or Meryl Streep if she was acting.
Just goes to show jealousy is a very ugly thing.I only say parts of WWHL last night.Did I hear Jaxx call herself lazy?She wouldnt be too far off.
I think when all the hw shows are over all the behind the scene secrets will come out.
All that talk by Richie about how much he likes females – think about it. It’s nothing but talk. Richie is wayyy to quick to jump into the gossip (not something you see males who like females do) & he seems to always talk about females … you know what I mean. That’s more Perez H. than it is manly you know. Somebody’s lyin’ bout sompin’ if you know what I mean. Never seen it fail. Any guy catty as a girl – there’s a reason for that.
Katty I hope next week is your last BLOG. Naive, you’re a first class MORON. WHY did you have to go after TERESA again. You know FULL WELL she had nothing to do with it. MELISSA was a STRIPPER deal with it. As for your SITE, WHERE IS IT? UNDER CONSTRUCTION? CANNOLLI KIT they are a dime a dozen, they’ve been out for YEARS. Katty you and that PERVERT GAS STATION ATTENDANT HUSBAND are LOSERS.
Lol, can’t argue with the passionately-expressed words of truth!
“The venue had a nightclub atmosphere, and Rich would have had a great time there, especially since our niece Malake was one of the models that walked in the show.” Ew. He is the creepiest of all the creeps.
Eeeeeeew! I bet he is one of those creepy pervert uncles you read about.
He was even creepy with Rosie’s friend when she came for dinner. Ugh! Kathy you know how to pick them!!! LOL
OMG….are u kidding me….after the first 4 sentences, I was snoozing. What a self absorbed Katfish!
Both her and her husband are a joke! Katfish spends her time bad mouthing her own cousin, yet wasn’t it her cousin’s show that Katfish snuck onto? Who needed who and yet the deceitful Katfish can’t stop yapping about Teresa.
I can’t wait for Bravo to turn on them and they will! It will be delightful!
I was on the bravo website and lots of people took Richie to task over that comment. I don’t know if they have someone new approving the comments but they let me post a real nasty one to Katfish, the only editing they did was to take the Slow out of Slow joe’s name. I keep trying to get in things about the timeline lies, but they shut that right down.
nice try
Since Bravo refused to post my comments on their site below are my thoughts on Kathy and the fashion show
Teresa was set up. The set up was supposed to be for Lookers at the salon but AFTER Looker’s producer friend, Cat, told her what was going on Lookers flipped the script. All of the cast was supposed to be at the salon before the show but everyone skip it but Teresa. At the fashion show Lookers was so calm when she was in the bathroom with Teresa. Teresa on the other hand was freaking out and very upset. As soon as Teresa said that Angelo told her that she was a dancer Lookers gets a grin on her face and says “I am calling YOUR brother” Lookers wasn’t angry or upset. Why was Joey right next store when Lookers called? Why did Joey already have a mic attached when Lookers called him to come? Why did the red queen even agree to sit at the same table with Teresa? Why do all the house wives questions why the other men were in the room but yet when Angelo approached the table NO ONE paid any attention to him?
Lookers and Joey had inside information about Angelo at the salon from their producer friend Cat (who was FIRED after the fashion show) and decided to set up Teresa to make her look bad and get her off the show so Lookers would be the star.
By the way the reason Kim D said she was sorry to Lookers is because of the FIGHT between her and Lookers/ Joey at Kim D’s white party. The party was taped for the show but because it made Joey and Lookers look bad it was never shown. The fight was about the $45,000 that Joey and Lookers owe Kim’s friend Fred the party planner from their Christmas Party. Joey only paid him $500. Hopefully the scene at the white party will be part of the lost footage along with the “mob tape” that Lookers and Joey filmed promising to take down Teresa if Bravo would cast them.
As far as Kathy, she is one of the most boring housewives in history. Her constant eyerolling at everything Teresa says and does got old in the first show. The only thing good about Kathy’s scenes are they give me a bathroom break. Oh and Rich is the biggest perve on TV. DISGUSTING. What are Kathy and Rich going to do if Victoria wants to marry a man like him?
I love it when you post.
Great post, oldNJgirl!
Excellent post. Thank you!
Great post, no wonder BRAVO will not let you post this!! They had the momentum from season 3 going against Teresa and decided to film season 4 back to back….big mistake!!
I can’t take any more!!
At fashion show Jacqueline, Lauren and Caroline were texting eachother. Most people believe they were all texting eachother about the guy from lookers but actually what they were texting was KATHY SMELLS LIKE FISH.
How did they come up with KomaKat?
Guess it’s a play on words. COMA. As in her blogs put you to SLEEP. This is the biggest BULLS#!T excuse for failure that I think I’ve ever read. No salon because she had kids. Yeah! What she didn’t have is ambition. Now she has Tre’s coattails to ride on.
