Yesterday Bravo FINALLY announced the cast of the Real Housewives of Dallas (read my post here and learn WAY MORE than what was in Bravo's press release!) and then my world exploded. Between text messages and Facebook and Twitter alerts my phone was pinging and buzzing non-freakin-stop! To celebrate the big occasion, I met up with new #RHOD stars, LeeAnne Locken and Tiffany Hendra at Mi Cocina in West Village. Because how else would true Texans celebrate than with with chips, salsa and Mambo Taxi's?! We were halfway done with lunch and a waiter came over with shots. We all looked at each other like, "Who the heck ordered shots!?"and our waiter said, "I'm a fan of your blog and I recognized you and your friends from your post today so I wanted to bring you a celebratory shot!" SO SWEET!
After lunch we headed over to KVIL 103.7FM where the we spent the afternoon with with Leigh Ann Adam on their #Uncorked show. Adam and show producer, Jay Michaels, broke out the Veuve in honor of the occasion. Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star, Erica Girardi a.k.a. Erika Jayne, called in to welcome the girls to the RH sorority and give them some advice how to navigate the shark infested waters.
E! and Bravo are both part of the NBCUniversal family - so natch E! got dibs on the first official interview with the ladies which aired that evening. Their interview took place from the set of a promo video Bravo shot to promote the show. WAIT until you see the promo trailer these ladies filmed! It is OFF THE CHAIN! I will have more photos to share once the trailer is revealed! Stay tuned...
Thanks to my darling girls, I have some fun behind-the-scenes photos to share with you. Don't they look AMAZING!
It was a crazy, fun, out-of-body kind of day and this is only the beginning! The countdown is ON for Monday, April 11, 9Pm CST for the debut of Bravo's Real Housewives of Dallas!
