No one loves a themed event as much as a reality TV star does. And, of course, St. Patrick’s Day is no different.
There were plenty of reality TV stars that dressed up for the holiday and shared photos with their social media followers.
Tinsley Mortimer
Real Housewives of New York is back for Season 11, and I am here for the drama! The ladies kicked off the season in the Hamptons, where we learned that the Housewives are divided into two teams: the blondes (led by Ramona Singer) and the brunettes (helmed by Luann De Lesseps). The exception is Sonja Morgan, who floats between the two camps.
Tinsley Mortimer, of course, is still looking for love. She split from on-and-off boyfriend Scott Kluth. Again. During Season 9 of RHONY, Tinsley was introduced to the Chicago businessman by Housewives alum Carole Radziwell. This socialite is on a mission to obtain an engagement ring. Tinsley is not stopping until she gets one. Hopefully, she can avoid the temptation of trying on wedding dresses again before she has a commitment. That was just awkward.
The new season of Real Housewives Of New York is rife with unresolved drama from the last finale. We are only two episodes in, but the battle lines have been drawn. And we’re back to blondes versus brunettes. Surely it’s only practical that the ladies at the center of current feud are holding court in two different houses. Bethenny Frankel and newbie Barbara Kavovit are sheltering Luann De Lesseps, while Ramona Singer hosts Dorinda Medley, Sonja Morgan, and Tinsley Mortimer.
As of what fans just saw, there is no reconciliation on the horizon for Luann and Dorinda. But Dorinda, joined by Ramona, interviewed with PEOPLE Now last week and revealed that their relationship has done a 180 since filming the start of the season.
Last night the Real Housewives Of New York dragged all their dysfunction to the Hamptons where they split into two teams: Team Ramona Singer & Team Luann de Lesseps. Just like the old days… Usually Sonja Morgan likes being in the middle of some sweaty, howling, grunting, insane situations, and this time was no exception!
Sonja arrives at Ramona’s house after being driven by Tinsley Mortimer. After all Tinsley’s whining that she might crash before she even gets into the driver’s seat, she turned out to be a good driver. Which, according to Sonja, also naturally means Tinsley will be a good mother. Because… ?
For some reason Sonja has long extensions – from a photoshoot maybe. They look so ratty I assume she found them in a box in a the Townhouse basement labeled JP – Mother’s Victorian Wigs. Anyway, this inspires Dorinda Medley to whip out the mermaid costumes she brought so they all can do something besides eat, drink, go to restaurants and fight. Dorinda believes their mermaid photos will “go viral.” Which is usually what they’re saying about Sonja’s vagina.
Thanks to her second stint in rehab, Luann de Lesseps missed the Real Housewives of New York Season 10 reunion. This means that she never got to hash out the Jovani incident with Dorinda Medley. Consequently, they are dragging this out into Season 11.
At this point, the cast has split up into two groups: the blondes and the brunettes. Luann, Bethenny Frankel, and new girl Barbara Kavovit are aligned getting along for now. And then, there’s Ramona Singer, Dorinda Medley, and Tinsley Mortimer. In the middle, is Sonja Morgan, who seems to be on good terms with both sides.
Wealthy ex-husbands and mug shots can land you a role on a reality TV franchise. Just ask Tinsley Mortimer who joined the cast of Real Housewives of New York two seasons back with both “credentials.”
Tinsley came on RHONY seeking her happily-ever-after, again. So two seasons ago, former castmate Carole Radziwill helped Tinsley with her #relationshipgoals by introducing her to Scott Kluth, a Chicago resident and Coupon Cabin CEO. Their first date felt like a case of opposites attract. The down-to-earth Midwesterner and teenage girl trapped in an aging socialite’s body locked lips in a very public display. And their on-again-off-again relationship has provided the only a major storyline for Tinsley ever since. Apparently, that relationship is “off.” Again.
Last night was the season premiere of Real Housewives Of New York and all I have to say is thank goodness these ladies area back! They are quite literally the saviors of the Real Housewives franchise, and LuAnn de Lesseps and Co. definitely took us to church last night.
It’s a topsy-turvy time for all the women, who are dealing with some personal changes and challenges – like deciding to paint their entire apartment hot pink on the recommendation of an emotionally domineering unprofessional designer (aka their invisible teenaged daughter.) Gotta make amends for being a drunk loon on TV and I guess pink walls is the easiest way to do it! Obviously, I’m talking about Sonja T. Morgan and her unseen, unnamed daughter Quincy J. (I swear Quincy is actually just Sonja’s id acting up! #FreudRealTalk)
There are a few Real Housewives that fly under the radar year after year, yet continue to have their contracts renewed. Like Cynthia Bailey from the Real Housewives of Atlanta. And Stephanie Hollman of the Real Housewives of Dallas. For the most part, these women are well-adjusted, good natured and don’t stir up a lot of trouble. I guess everyone can’t be a drama queen!
Tinsley Mortimer from the Real Housewives of New York also falls into that category. The most dramatic thing about her has been her on-again, off-again long distance relationship with Chicago resident and Coupon Cabin CEO Scott Kluth. Which, when I think about it, has been pretty dramatic at times.
