We all see something a Bravoleb wears on camera and wonder where to buy it. Thank goodness for Lauren from @BigBlondeHair - she does the WORK to figure it out and share with all of us! Today, we've got her on the pod and we'll be talking smash or pass when it comes to Housewife and Bravolebrity fashion, plus how she got her start with bigblondehair.com, her blog. Do the Housewives buy all those clothes, and what do they do with those clothes after they wear them? And we've got some tea on what we're hearing about what's going on with some of the Beverly Hills ladies...

Cocktails and Gossip

60. Bravo Fashion with Lauren from @BigBlondeHair; Beverly Hills Tea

We can't help ourselves with the orange pun. Because we're so glad Real Housewives of Orange County and Tamra are back! Now that we have a few episodes under our belts, we want to talk about our thoughts on the new housewife, Jen, plus our returning favorite orange holders. And of course, we've got Orange flavored tea for you - lots of it. We've got our ears to the ground in Beverly Hills and in New York...and some gossip you're not hearing anywhere else. Plus a tangent: B and Amanda talk Ben vs Matt, Ryan vs Ryan and you'll hear more about laminated lists...

59. Orange we glad OC is back (and we have tea); RHOBH and NY tea; Plus a Laminated List Tangent

It's a great week, because have Larry of Bravo by Gays guesting on the show with us! He's got some news for us...And we talk about what we're hearing from the RHONY Legacy Ultimate Girls' Trip. Kim and Kroy's divorce is taking an even nastier turn - why we think things have hit the point of no return. What's going on with Real Housewives of Atlanta this season? The explosive, dark, and threaten-y final reunion episode of Real Housewives of New Jersey - whoa. What's in all those manila envelopes?

58. @BravoByGays is Here! RHONY Legacy News; Kim and Kroy's Divorce Takes a Turn; What's up in ATL? RHONJ Finale

What's next for Summer House? Jersey's Jaqueline and Jackie exchange some pretty shocking text messages. Jersey finale - did Louie hire someone to call Teresa's castmate's family members? Danielle - is she all bark and no bite? The Vanderpump Rules bombshell revelation...what we really think was behind it and Raquel's "throuple" suggestion. A Cocktailer weighs in with her professional opinion on Raquel and what might be causing her to act the way she does. Schwartz just keeps digging himself a deeper hole and making some weird faces while he does it. We have word of a new VPR spinoff - and it's something we haven't discussed before. Real Housewives of Orange County is back and we're ready for some fun and sun.

57. Summer House: What's Next? Jacqueline's text message; The VPR revelation; RHOC is BACK

This week, we go a little deeper on Bravolebrity relationships and divorces with Michelle Dempsey-Multack, a divorce and co-parenting expert. Michelle gives us some great insight into some of the big Bravolebrity divorces and relationships in the news, and stays to talk about the Real Housewives of New Jersey reunion with us. Michelle spills the tea on which RHONJ husband is not her favorite, the new Housewives, and what she really thinks about Teresa and Louie and whether they’ll go the distance.

56. Michelle Dempsey-Multack, Bravo Fan, Bestselling Author and Divorce Coach

The conversation between Lindsay and Danielle…it was brutal, no other word for it. Our thoughts on Mya hiding her breakup… The RHONJ wedding special episode was very highly watched - but a little boring. B educates Amanda on the customs of NY and NJ weddings - Amanda has offered herself as a guest to experience a Venetian Hour. What we’re hearing about the RHONJ next season cast...there’s talk of demotions and of people being put on pause. The VPR reunion was great tv. We have started a list of James’ greatest hits. He had us cry laughing this week. Is Tom Schwartz almost as bad as Tom Sandoval? And what’s the big reveal in the reunion? We’ve got some tea for you. Last but not least, the WILD bank statement from Kroy’s divorce motion against Kim.  This episode brought to you by Cozy Earth. We are LOVING their temperature-regulating bamboo sheet sets.

55. James has us dum diddly dying of laughter; A very Jersey wedding; Summer House friendship split

VPR - all we can say is wow. So many moments that were just jaw dropping. And what is the VPR producer talking about when he says there’s more to be revealed after watching all three parts of the reunion? We have tea. Will there be any castaways on the boat to Scary Island? We share what we know. And the Jersey finale - or should we say, brawl? And why did Louie say he hired a PI to get info on all the ladies…but then Teresa backed off?    This episode brought to you by Cozy Earth.

54. Shocking Vanderpump Finale Revelations Plus an Exclusive; Scary Island Castaways?

We've been following the sad news about Kim Zolciak Biermann and Kroy Biermann's foreclosure. Sadly the story gets worse, with a hefty IRS bill and now they've both filed for divorce. We ave some more details about Kim and Kroy's divorce–you've been hearing from us first on this topic.  We're so happy to see the peaches of Real Housewives of Atlanta back on our screens. We've got a feisty new Housewife and some ongoing drama between previous wives, plus some new men in the lives of two of our favorites. It's shaping up to be a good season. We are loving the Summer House Martha's Vineyard cast - we have a little tea on one of the castmates and her famous actor ex. Louie went off the deep end on this week's Real Housewives of New Jersey - this is feeling like more than just wedding stress. Are these Louie's true colors? And Louie has a brother? How come we never hear about him? And we're hearing from behind the scenes sources that there's drama within the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. Alliances seem to be shifting yet again.  This episode brought to you by Cozy Earth. Go to cozyearth.com to get 35% off sitewide with code GOSSIP

53. Tea on Kim and Kroy Divorce; Atlanta Premiere; Summer House Martha's Vineyard

New York, New York, we’ve got both reboot and legacy news, including a RHONY Legacy exclusive. Why we think the reboot could be a hallmark for the next generation of Bravo. When Bravolebs go to other networks…Jersey was a doozy and got us in our feelings - all of the feelings. What we know about Raquel’s account getting hacked (spoiler alert, interesting timing on that announcement) and our theory about Ariana’s new brand deal.    This episode brought to you by Cozy Earth.

52. RHONY Legacy Exclusive; Jersey’s got us in our feelings; The timing of the VPR leak

So much buzz about the Real Housewives of New Jersey reunion. And we have some exclusive tea from an eyewitness. And more exclusive tea about some friction between the Catanias and Teresa/Louie. Who got “tossed like a whore in a brothel” during the show? We have an update for you on the Lisa Hochstein divorce. We covered her prenup in a deep dive on episode 38 and based on what the judge in the case just ordered through temporary orders, Lisa got a win. Our theory about why the Real Housewives of Orange County trailer was held up is seeming to check out. Real Housewives of Atlanta hasn’t begun yet, but the drama has and we are loving it.

51. Lisa Hochstein Divorce Win; Jersey Reunion Tea; RHOC Trailer; We don’t talk about Marlo?

This is our 50th episode of Cocktails and Gossip! A huge thank you to our listeners and community. As a thank you, we have an announcement to make about the future of the podcast…We discuss a few friendship fallouts. Which housewife in Miami is threatening not to film with another? RHONJ breaks the “kids are off limits” rule…and another week, another few VPR #Scandoval updates for you…

50. Celebrating 50 Episodes; Friendship Fallouts; More Scandoval Rumors;

Bravocon is viva-ing Las Vegas, but Cocktailers have known this. Maybe the Toms need a little break from the media, because now Sandoval’s podcast appearance was a bigger dumpster fier than Schwartz’s. Let us count the ways that Sandoval is a master gaslighter. And Scandoval is causing a Bravolebrity renaissance of sorts. Summer House couple tea. Finally a more lighthearted Real Housewives of New Jersey episode. Send us your Bravo limericks…  

49. Scramdoval; Bravolebrity Renaissance; Bravocon Confirmation

Tom Schwartz’ dumpster fire of a WWHL appearance: From the weight cuffs he wore, to the admission that he knew about the affair since last August, to the plea to all of us to give Sandoval a hug. Wow, just wow. B and Amanda get into a conversation about what Tom Schwartz should have done - should he have told someone? When? How? And is he smarter than he plays on tv? There’s a new lawsuit that alleges more cheating involving people we’ve seen on VPR and RHOBH. And we’re hearing there’s a new reality show brewing involving people from lots of different reality tv shows. We dissect a couple of the most memorable moments from this week’s Real Housewives of New Jersey. And does Bravo use social media as a focus group? We think so - and we talk about this week’s Bravo article about Lindsay Hubbard wanting to be a Housewife as the perfect example.    Want more Cocktails and Gossip?

48. Shwartz WWHL Dumpster Fire; More VPR Cheating? Psychics; RHONJ; HubbHouseWife?

First it was laundry, now it’s nails; we broke a picture of Juan out with the same woman again. Another RHOA divorce - this time from Eva Marcille, and with an interesting twist. We have opinions on Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip in Thailand. PMDD is no excuse for being an a-hole. Whitney is growing on B but Heather is losing both of our respect. Porsha is reminding us why we loved her to start with. In RHOBH news, Brandi is messy as usual, and lots of housewives are making cameos on the show. What we’re hearing about the drama (or lack of it) this season. A fight almost got physical at the Vanderpump Rules reunion and we have the tea on who it was… And we wrap with a little tidbit about who Tom Schwartz fell for on Winter House.   

47. Juan’s Shady Mani; Our thoughts on RHUGT Thailand so far; Who almost fought at the VPR reunion?

Rumor has it the RHON legacy ladies returning to Scary Island? Why this makes sense to us, and who we’re hearing is coming. Who’s going to Vegas in November? We’re not sick of Scandoval yet - and here’s why. Inside info about how Rachelle’s working a PR angle; and is any amount of mean girl behavior permissible now that we know what we know, or is there a line? We see through the “Katie won’t sell back her hotel room” storyline. And on to Real Housewives of New Jersey - props to Jen Aydin and Bill for putting themselves out there with their therapy sessions. Why we think their conflict is relatable… And, we’ve got a “glass houses” situation with Jackie and Danielle - it’s just not making sense to us.   This episode is brought to you by BetterHelp.
