But how will they go to the Berkshires now?
Lets just take a minute to appreciate that this girl no,woman!
started a clothing line when she was 22.
What was I doing when I was 22?
Dorinda, she says, looks like Karen from Human Resources, and shes not wrong.
None of the women really come dressed for a cool downtown party.
Ramona has an all champagne-and-peach ensemble with a white fur.
Everyone except our favorite floozy, Sonja Tremont Morgan of the Poodle Piddle Doggie Pee Pad Table Morgans.
This is why Sonja will always be great television.
She walks into Leahs party and says to a group of young Black men, Hi, guys!
He nods and she is, well, cool with it.
One of them also tells her, I was drinking Captain Morgan last night.
Well youre partying with Lady Morgan now, is her prompt retort.
See, even in unfamiliar surrounds, Sonja is willing to blend.
Someone tells Luann to just throw her coat on the back of a couch.
Can you see her doing that?
But were going through a pandemic and a cultural upheaval.
Wouldnt we much rather see the young, multicultural, exciting downtown scene that Leah embodies?
Ramona tried to tell Leah that she wasnt allowed to, but Leah did what she wanted anyway.
So, Elyse walks over to Leah, Leahs mom, Bunny, and Ramona while theyre all talking.
As she sidles up, Ramona kisses Bunny on the cheek and tries to get away.
Youre not even going to talk to me?
her ex-friend Elyse asks as Ramona walks away.
Leah just looks at her and shouts, Go!
pushing her in the direction of Ramona.
This, right here, is why Leah is a great addition to the cast.
Im just enjoying a sneaker party.
The funny thing about Ramona is that she can just ignore things or people until they go away.
We call this the Barbara K. Effect.
She next sets her sights on John, Dorindas ex, at Dorindas birthday party.
Dorinda never met a hypocrisy or a chunky highlight she didnt like.
But before anyone could say, Shes startin, things move on.
I think now might be the time to mention that Luann has started drinking again.
Maybe she hoped that, this far into the season, we wouldnt have noticed.
about how alcohol almost ruined her fathers life.
The next minute shes trying out the flight of flavored vodkas at Russian Samovar.
What no one points out in this is that Luann is clearly drunk.
Luann was never sloppy.
But now here she is, eliding her words like someone coated her tongue in Astroglide.
Isnt this troubling to anyone, namely, I dont know, Luann?
This party went down right before Christmas, which means we all know what is on the horizon.
Its all about to end.
There will be more birthdays, but there will be no more parties.
There will be sweatpants and sneakers, but there will no longer be launch events.
Were peering into the before times like looking into a magic mirror.
The fall cant get here soon enough, when dining will be more tolerable.
But what if theyre back inside?
What if the virus gets worse?
And what about the election?
