With each passing week, I like Jules Wainstein more and more. I initially thought she’d be boring and vapid and care too much about the veterans’ opinions to voice her own. Sure, she may place a little extra emphasis on how much a stay at home mom needs a nanny, but she’s got a good sense of humor seems to know how to act right…a rare trait in this bunch.
After Bethenny Frankel went off (I mean, was all that vitriol really necessary?) on Luann de Lesseps, Dorinda Medley tearfully showed her loyalty to a birthday cake, and Ramona Singer played the voice of reason (was this the Twilight Zone or Real Housewives of New York?) on this week’s episode, Jules is giving her two cents on that awful girls’ weekend. Sonja Morgan should count herself lucky for being excluded!

Taking to her Bravo blog, Jules jokingly begins, “Asian flush, pancake licking, vibrating thigh masters, trout vaginas and a Mystery Man — the past couple of weeks’ episodes feel like we were filming a made-for-cable movie of a Harlequin summer beach read. It’s been fun and nuts, but this week it was just us girls, and things quickly started moving in the direction of a murder mystery!”
The newbie writes, I’m not gonna lie, I was really looking forward to a fun and relaxing 24 hours with the girls and celebrating Dorinda’s birthday with a good old-fashioned holiday slumber party,” adding, “After hearing news that my father was in the ICU for pneumonia and losing a nanny, I was hopeful for a light and fun time in the Berkshires! Well, it was frankly exhausting. I felt like I was refereeing a bunch of over-tired toddlers having a meltdown at a playdate.
She’s quickly learning that the only way to get attention in this crowd is to be incredibly self-absorbed. I’m still floored by Luann interrupting Jules getting news about her father’s health to whine about being slut shamed. Jules recaps, “My dad is ill, and it’s Dorinda’s birthday (OMG the cake, don’t mess with the cake. Ever.) but everyone is too busy catfighting over nonsense to care. Dorinda is my friend, and she tries so hard to get everyone together for a fun and meaningful time, so I tried my best to break the ice and get the girls to have fun. But there is only so much a girl can do when people are hell-bent on fighting.”
Jules concludes, “I would have rather stayed in bed with my Netflix pants on. Back to refereeing my kids. At least they know how to say sorry to each other and go to bed.”
That’s not a completely fair assessment. Luann knows how to go to bed…wasn’t that what one of the issues was? 😉
