Hey loves! NOTE: Well, at least Porsha’s salutation is not “Hi Lovers”!
I hope you all had a great weekend! My weekend was surprisingly relaxing. I finally got a chance to go to the spa. Between working on a business plan for my home decor line and being wifey and mommy, I’ve been busier than usual. But I have to say doing a little cardio here and there has helped me pump up the energy. NOTE: OMG! MORE stuff from a Housewife! Maybe Porsha should check with Silex about that “home decor” line!
Let’s jump into Sunday’s episode. In the first scene you met my lovely mother, Diane, and my beautiful sister, Lauren. They are the best pair to give you a real opinion when choosing a dress for any occasion. Sometimes you just need people to tell it like it is, with a strong yes or no (or even a hell no)! LOL! To all of you ladies asking, those dresses were all from Sherri Hill. I’m all about the glamorous approach, so anything I wear will have some crystals somewhere. Hehe!
Next up you meet my amazing niece, Jaydnn! I promise that my little poo bear normally loves her auntie, and in reality she still loved me then, she just didn’t want to look at me, touch me, or hear my voice that day. I wanted my sister to bring her so I could start keeping her more often and get used to handling business as well as errands with a little one. After all I went everywhere with my mom, so I’m guessing my mini me will be the same way! Well I guess you all saw how the beginning of that day went, this week you will get to see how it is when I bring her home. I have to say I’m starting to realize that to make this picture perfect I may end up needing a nanny just to help fill in a little. We shall see…
Now on to Ms. Bailey. Here I am on Saturday chilling at home with my family, I decided to get up and leave what could have been a fun-filled day with them only to go to the Bailer Agency and walk right into a hostile environment! I always go off of spirit when I meet people, and I am very sensitive to the energy of people around me. With that said, when I sat down and saw the look on Ms. Bailey’s face, I knew something was up. Little did I know it was some mess about me not wanting complete strangers over to my house for a business meeting for her pageant.
I must say I threw Kordell’s name in the mix to add to my response, but in actuality I made the decision not to have it in my home on my own. I sincerely felt if she didn’t want to meet at her office, fine, and I even offered to pay for lunch elsewhere anytime, but to turn my home into an office? Um, no. It was something I thought was a small and private conversation with Ms. Bailey as a friend. How quickly I learned that all things discussed in private aren’t so private with her.
I thought after talking to her it was simple and easy. I just made the decision not to have all her staff come over and it was done. We would meet at her place of business. But no, I was attacked and spoken to by the Bailey workers in a way that to me was inappropriate, asking why I run my home a certain way. I was bothered, so I took my husband’s advice to check the situation by letting her know how it made me feel and making sure it didn’t go any further than that. After all, I was helping for free and I was also involving my family’s charity so that many people in need could benefit from a percentage of the pageant.
This relationship was supposed to work two ways.
Number one I had my family create an outreach event specifically for Cynthia’s pageant participants so that they would have the opportunity to be hands on in giving. They were supposed to come the Saturday before the pageant and make lunches with fresh produce and hand deliver them to the people we had solicited to be at the outreach event created for her.
Number two Cynthia was going to donate ten percent of proceeds to Hosea Feed the Hungry and Homeless. This collaboration would have also benefitted the pageant in that she could use the charity’s affiliation to solicit money from sponsors and help with securing an event space. Having the charity involved was of great value to the pageant.
Anyhow I go to lunch on a Wednesday to meet my “friend” for midday drinks and lunch only to once again be smacked in the face with another surprise. Wow, she doesn’t want me or the charity involved? Why? Because she says she never received a document from the charity stating they are affiliates. First, that document has nothing to do with her giving proceeds to help feed the hungry. Second she only gave two weeks for this huge organization to get all these docs sent to her, which by the way she could have received after the event or closer to the actual day of. When she asked me to involve the charity and have them create an outreach event inviting some 1,000 needy people, I jumped right on it. The charity sent volunteers and paid staff to make the event possible for her pageant.
Now she is telling me never mind because she didn’t get the logo (that she could have gotten off Internet), so therefore she doesn’t want me or the charity involved. When sitting across from someone who obviously doesn’t understand that you cannot just involve an internationally known charity and then not follow through, you do what I did — gracefully bow out!
I was looking at what I thought was a friend and someone I put myself and my family charity out there for just to see her win, and what did I get? Nothing but a sorry excuse for why she has decided to turn her back on the thousand people who would have benefitted from receiving fresh produce and groceries as well as donations. What do I decide to do? Move on and let her sit where she is. I’m not going to teach someone how to care. I’d rather let her have her way and figure out an immediate plan to salvage the outreach for all those expecting it and learn from my mistakes. I do care for and Iove Cynthia, but this has proven to me that you can’t lend yourself to people without knowing their motives. I have decided to forgive but not forget how this made feel and how serious it is not to involve the charity with people you can’t depend on.
Now for my husband’s fabulous party! The Harlem nights themed event was gorgeous. It was everything I wanted for him to feel special on his 40th birthday! I have to say, he sure was looking sexy to me. Needless to say we had no problem working on little Stewarts that birthday. Hehe!
Before I forget, to all of those who asked me Tiffany Cook of DreamDesign was the planner for his party. Here is her info:
Palm Beach: 561-792-2452
Miami: 305-394-6261
Washington DC: 202-558-2295
Atlanta: 888 478-6534
All right, guys, love ya! Sorry this blog was so lengthy, I just wanted to fill in the blanks for you all. I have to get ready to thaw out steak and salmon for tonight’s dinner. Of course Kordell loves the steak and Syre is the salmon lover. I haven’t decided on sides, so if you leave a comment give me some suggestions that would go with both. Kisses!

“…Bailer Agency…” Hahaha! Porsha does come off as an airhead, but she definitely knows how to annoy people. I really did not understand why Cynthia and her motley crew had to meet at Porsha’s house in the first place. The event wasn’t going to be there. I also didn’t understand why Cynthia’s manager had on sandals at the modeling agency. Were those Birkenstocks he was wearing?
That’s too funny, but also so fitting on the way things went down….Bailer Agency!!! Lol…for some strange reason, I love to hear all of Porsha’s screw ups of her words. Cynthia did ‘bail’ as soon as she heard the man telling her about all those fees she could charge. I swear I saw the dollar signs ringing up like a calculator in her eyes while he was speaking. Ten per cent is such a small portion to donate to the charity, and just think of all the extra ‘help’ she could have had with the foundation, and all those rich women. I’m sure many of them have kids of their own, and many would have been willing to help out with those things Cynthia waited so long to even come up with. Boy, she really screwed up with all the support that foundation could have helped her with.
And I’m always thinking in these instances, that Kenya and now Cynthia are cutting off their noses to spite their business interests when it comes to Atlanta society. Porsha is the only member of the cast that is actually a member of Atlanta society, and so no matter how ditsy she comes off, when she goes back and talks to people about these ladies, I am sure they listen. I still believe this was all a set up on Cynthia’s part to gain favor with Kenya and make Porsha look bad, but in the end the person who is going to be hurt by this is Cynthia although I’m sure she didn’t see that at the time.
Yep I agree….Porsha moves in those circles and she just crossed Porsha.
i am thinking the same thing. I used to like-and defend-Cynthia but now not so much. At all. It was hard enough to defend goofy, wannbe Peter. Cynthia needs Porsha more than Porsha needs the Bailer Agency.
Porsha may sound silly but she clearly is not stupid.
She exited with grace and that is a lot more than I can say for most of this cast.
I know, she has to do something since her husband took all her money.
Good for Porsha! I’ve never liked Cynthia since day one. She is one of the most pretentious people in the housewives franchise. She should consider herself as arrogant and fake as Teresa Jewdice, Adrienne the apewoman and soon to disappear, Camille. I’m hoping the next episode shows frosty Cynthia failing miserably with that pageant.
Cynthia is a just a two faced chick. There was no reason at all that she should have expected Porsha to host her meeting, nor should she have been offended when Porsha wasn’t happy about having strangers in her home. I don’t see why she made it what it was and amped it up for her staff. She also should have put her assistant in his place when he started in on Porsha, instead she sat there and enjoyed the whole thing.
The one thing that Cynthia conveniently forgets is that Porsha was not being paid for her participation. Cynthia was planning to throw a mere pittance to the charity just to make herself look less money grubbing. I am wondering how many teens from the wealthier families will be involved with this pageant, that might have done so with Porsha’s affiliation?
She is a big dummy. That affiliation with the charity would have been a big boon marketing wise for her. People of means like to be affiliated with charitable events and there are always tons of write ups in the society pages. She could have gotten lots of free cross advertising since the foundation name would pop up all over the place.
I couldn’t agree with you more! Cynthia needs all the help she can get plus she is so disorganized.
If Cynthia has such a large team at her school, then why pray tell would she need outside help to the point that she would be bird dogging Porsha about doing this, that or another? Seems to me like Cythina’s whole team is just BS. She has what two assistants and a manager for the agency, why aren’t they heavily involved in taking care of thing seeing as 1) they are on her payroll and 2) the event benefits their place of business.
Yup.
Bizz-I agree. I have been to many meetings. Your office, my office, a restaurant. Whatever. Having a business meeting in my home implies way more intimancy than what this suggests.
Cynthia. This was your meeting. Why should it be at Porsha’s home?
I agree, what woman invites strangers to their home to start with….especially a ‘married’ woman whose husband has not met the men who’s going to be in his home while he’s out of town. Just like women, I wouldn’t want my husband(if I had one) having strange women in my home while I wasn’t there to meet them and keep an eye on them.
Without Nene there to tell Cynthia how to ‘fake it till you make it’, she has no clue how to act. She put on a pretty good ‘act’ while Nene was around to coach, but her true colors have come flying out without her coach.
I agree and I love your name!
Reminds me for some reason of Christopher Walken saying he “needs more cow bell” in the SNL skit. Oh I love his voice and he is terribly funny!
Cynthia is dangerous to the reputation of all women. She thinks she’s smart, but really isn’t. When Porsha — Porsha — can show how dumb you are, then you are a bigger fool than you started out as.
Is the Bailey Agency still open? I hear Kyle needs a career….
Cynthia’ s “Agency” has 3 what appears to be gay guys.With that said she would be a keeper in Miss Mandy’s eyes.I hate how they throw gay men in all the HW hags shows for Mandy entertainment.
What ever happend to Kyle’s black gay “ladysitter” that was there for the roaring 20′s party that Trailer Trash threw.Seems they are planted for one episode then Poff they are gone.Lots of phoney characters/assistants that come and go.
ATL has went overboard on the gay guys.If you need a gay guy as a “husband” to be relevant on Bravo I would have to pass.All HW hags/husbands say they are cool with the gay thing just to stay on Bravo.I beg to differ if there was not $$ involved.They tolerate is more like it.
I think that as soon as some of the get a little attention, they start making demands as if they are cast members (as I believe was the case with the guy that plans Phaedra’s parties), or talks smack to cast members, as Cynthia’s employee did and that she should have checked him for. I suspect he won’t be around for a second season, and that Cynthia like Kenya, simply gathers people to appear on screen with her, who have nothing better to do.
On another note, did you noticed that Kenya’s body guard only showed up once? What happened to her being such a big celebrity?
Yes I noticed that but I didn’t want to appear to be a hater. I don’t hate Kenya. But I’m kinda of hating Bravo. And Miss Priss
I started watching Bravo when I was hospitilized with-what we thought was a breathing problem-turned out to be CHF (Conjestive Heart Failure). I had very few channel options so I went with what I was offered. It turned out that my system was hosting a non-transferrable virus that tore up my heart called Cardiomyophathy. It happens. It also turned out that Bravo was one of my TV options.
I want to complain! I was dying and I am offered Bravo? Seriously?
CHF took my mother’s life November 19. Thankfully you are still here and able to laugh at the lunacy that is Bravo.
Kyle’s gay has his own show now, Nannies of Beverly Hills or something like that.
Cynthia is a 2-faced, arragant biotch with no brains. While she is still pretty, her personality makes her ugly. She rags on everybody but NeNe in her interviews and thinks she is all that. Her sister did so much for her-but now she is gone. Cynthia best remember how controling Peter was the 1st 2 seasons and quit smacktalken everyone-she ain’t no better. She is broke and stupid. When her looks go she is screwed. And she needs to tell her only friend NeNe to get a new hair system-what she has now is hideous! lol
That would require Cynthia to admit that most of her wigs look ridiculous. Too bad Nene isn’t in the Wiiiiig yelling mood, but then again, she’d have to yell at herself for the piece glued onto her head.
cynthia didn’t need Big teeth too help because she comes in and talk talk talk and do nothing
porshe just whats too be seen!!!!!!!!!!
When Bravo cans Cynthia she will be a nobody again.NeNe is what keeps her on the show. All the HW hags will be floundering like fish washed up on the beach when Bravo stops the cash cow.Enjoy your camera time now and your “status at the bank” til you have to make money on your own without the Bravo check.Never to be heard from or seen again.RHONY fired cast is the start of Bravo housekeeping.Some will do okay most will be struggling.
Porsha adds absolutely nothing to this show. She is not interesting at all and whines about the smallest ish. Cynthia was offened by Porsha insulting her staff. Cynthia was wrong to report the comment and the Bailey Boy made a bitchy remark, end of story. It does not need to continue being rehashed because it really is just nothing to focus or write a whole blog about. They Kenya-Porsha drama is stupid too because Kenya ignores Porsha so the only drama is really Porsha trying to trying to start it to get camera time. I’d rather watch Sheree pretend to be rich, than watch Porsha continue to act like Princess Kate. If Porsha really wants to be drum up interest in herself, she should talk about her OWN accomplishments. Like that raunchy Trillville music video.
Love how the HW hags think like Bewtiched they can twinkle their nose and whatever career or business deal they want to do it will happen.Maybe for the time they are on the show they will get an episode that was scripted for them.Otherwise its all a pipe dream.Like Walter said “just keep drinking”.That Bravo Kool-Aid must be super sweet and tasty.
Porsha was real perterred!
When did Porsha have a kid??? Last I knew she was trying to get pregnant…now she needs a nanny??? I’ve missed something
She doesn’t have any children. She had her niece when she was dealing with the party planner. She seemed to have a bit of a rough time and in an upcoming episode she seems to try to spend more time with her niece to see if she can do everything on her own. Sort of a trial by fire. She admits that she might need some help when she does have her own, especially if she gets her wish and has twins. She acknowledged that being a mom is a hard job.
I know having children is hard (not first hand b/c anything I’d produce would no doubt have a tail) but you cant exactly compare ones behavior to others. Some babies are easy, some are colicy’, even with twins one can be easy the other much more difficult. I’d imagine if you want children you’d want to raise them and neither her or her husband (retired, right?) work now, so would stand to reason her ‘home-decor’ line could wait?? Or is that just what is expected from commoners?? The only old friend from high-school I’m in touch with has 6 kids, the oldest is a special needs girl and she does it all on her own (she’s also 1yr younger than I)… Its hard for me to get these women sometimes…
I have three of my own. My first two were almost three years apart and my son came a long five years later. I never had a nanny and I worked full-time, kept a home and it worked out. I think even if I could afford a nanny, I highly doubt I would have done it. I didn’t want to miss out on anything that my kids accomplished. I am sure that while her niece was normally a mild mannered child, she was probably grumpy due to a missed nap and god knows how many takes it took to get the filming done.
Oh yes that missed nap stuff. Prolly by design from production. I have always felt like they threw monkey wrenches in the kids daily routines, especially the Guidice youngins, to get the most need-a-nap-tastic fits out of them. Showing up late while the girls have been in frilly dresses all camera ready for hours so that by the time cameras are rolling they are over it.
Made I think so too. Kids can only deal with sitting still and waiting for just but so long.
Porsha like Heather Dullbro needs a house full of iso they can enjoy looking at themselves.Porsha will defineately have to have full time nannies.She will not change a dirty diaper or wipeup spit up.She will be afraid of getting it on her bejeweled designer clothing.Porsha cant be “cute” all your life.Put on your big girl panties like all the rest and get your hands dirty.
who the hell does Porsha thinks she is?? Jim Bellino???
Porsha is a spoiled housewife who allows her husband to control her and knows no better. And yes, Cynthia should stop extending herself. At least she’s grown a backbone this time around.
My “wishlist” to Bravo would be to sink the entire Atlanta series. I cannot sit through one episode. Phaedra and Porsha are so boring. Really, they’re all boring but I’m putting emphasis on those two. Second series I would like to see demolished is NJ. I hate when we have to see their personal lives since most are truly boring.
