Then Or Now: When Were They Hotter?

On the left is The Real Housewives of New York City's Jill Zarin back in 2006, and on the right is Jill Zarin looking like a damn fool on Watch What Happens Live last night. The only thing she's missing is a microphone headset and a child covering their eyes in the front row, because this is the kind of piss poor Madonna impersonation you'd see at a PTA talent show. That polyester fall would look better on a horse's ass. That top would look better on a Charlotte Russe mannequin circa 1990. And those earrings would look a whole lot better in the napkin holder section at a Pier 1. That being said, Jill Zarin looks hotter "now." Well, you know I'm a sucker for grown hos embarrassing themselves while paying homage to the 90s.

The entire BOMB Ambition look is more frightening when it moves:

If you're going to do yourself up to look like a Vogue-era Madonna, can't you put a cone bra on your dog so she matches you? That's just lazy styling.

THAT'S IT! I was trying to remember where I'd seen that look before!

She needs to fire her gay husband, he ain't doin' her no favors by advising her to wear get ups like this pathetic one...or maybe he's doing it on purpose...

When you write about the "ethnic brunette look," I can't help but think that you mean to write Jewish/Italian-American women but don't because you're too afraid to do so or because where you live, you have no idea what these people are and can only come up with that phrase.

As for your "Green Acres" commentary on suburban living vs. urban living (in your world, the City is a big, bad jungle, just like on tv!), please stay where you are.

Yes, yes! The other daughter, the supposedly less attractive academic sister who is more like the father, both playing Fonzworth Bentley to Jill and her mother.

Poor Jill. She popped up on "The Apprentice" helping out NeNe (another one who let fame go to her head). While it was NBC and Bobby made her look like the socialite she longs to be, purchasing a piece of shit painting for $25,000 (and honey, make sure THAT check clears), she was only on for about 30 seconds. Sads. She's mile behind Bethanny. Yeah, you know that will always be a sore spot for her, a wound opened every time Bethanny is on the major daytime and late night talk shows, each magazine article or clipping (not all in the Kardashian-funded, even-nobody's-count-here "In Touch" and "OK" magazine), each NYT bestseller, etc. Even if you don't like Bethanny, you gotta like her for unintentionally crawling up fame whore Jill's fat butt.

And yes, her mother is dreadful, that fucking know it all, spoiled, fake-ass, wannabe Park Avenue dame. Remember when she had that advice column?

Cunt. Hate her worse than Danielle from the RHoNJ and just like Danielle, I hope Bravo drops her flat ass by next season.

She's such a bitch!! She's TOTALLY copying Bethenny!! Bethenny wears her hair like that quite a bit and does the corset top thing too. So obvious!! BUT, Bethenny pulls it off because she has the looks and body to do it. Jill is a really sad human being. She's such a mean spirited person, yet cries poor me and tries to play the victim. Obviously the audience isn't buying it, and can see through her because every time Bravo puts up a poll as to who is right and who is wrong, the votes are always a landslide against Jill. Get a clue Jill. Alex is completely right. You ARE A MEAN GIRL and apparently always will be. As your friend the "Countess" tries to "sing" MONEY CAN'T BUY YOU CLASS!!

Hey nebajnim, what kind of backwards-ass thinking is going on inside of that fucked up noggin of yours? You must not have been hugged much, when you were growing up were you? But surely that isn't the sole reason for being completely close-minded, racist (brunette, ethnic look" WTF?!?) and general asshatedness. Oh, and being a born and raised southerner, please allow me to politely say to go fuck yourself. I mean that with all due respect. I will slowly sip my sweet tea while reminiscing of my pearl-wearing debutante years all while imagining punching you squarely in the face. And I mean that in the most sincere way possible...no need for fakeness here.

Chelsea, I hope your overall experience in TN has been a pleasant one. However, I also know how fucked up a lot of the mindsets in some parts can be. I'd like to think we're good people for the most part. Who knows, maybe we're neighbors!

Got news for ya, you're gonna find assholes no matter where you move in this country....or the world for that matter. My family is southern, so I know firsthand the hospitality can be VERY genuine and wonderful, but there are plenty of fake, hypocritcal, good ol' boy network dipshits down here too. I'm also a former military brat, so I got to experience the rest of our varied regions too. My personal least fave region is the midwest. I just found the people a bit too closed off for my taste..plus they didn't "get" my humor. Suicide for me.

Some of the nicest, most hospitable people I have ever met have been from NYC. And that is the straight truth. So many of them are open to new experiences and people because they HAD to be.

I think you are lucky if you can find a little patch in this world you can tolerate enough to make yourself happy. If that little patch doesn't make you happy anymore....move. It's all relative.

1. Not everyone has that "ethnic brunette look". Is that a euphemism for "Jewish", perhaps? Or Latina? We have "urban" people here, too. You know,"hip hop types" *wink wink* and there are also some "alternative lifestyle" people!

2. Some people don't like cities. That's cool. The people who live in this "gross" city like it. If and when they don't, they move.

I love New York City with all my heart, and I will never live in a boring dead suburb EVER. My kids play in Central Park every day, collecting pinecones and climbing trees and examining cocoons and seeing hawks and bluejays and making dams in streams. We live a few blocks from world famous museums and we can see great works of art after school when it's raining. They eat sushi and Ethiopian food and greet our Russian, Chinese and Italian neighbors in their native languages. We can smell freshly cut grass, the ocean and fireplace smoke, depending on the season and the wind.

New Yorkers get a bad rap. I have seen my fellow citizens rush to help someone in need more times than I can tell. This place is filled with stone-faced good samaritans.

So shut up.

@nebajnim I live in Manhattan and right now also in a small southern town. I don't get your anger or hate. I think you're judging based on an outside view, have you ever lived in NYC? Most NYC people I know are from the midwest and also humble. You move there for cultural experience, jobs and the same reason people move to the midwest.

700 for 900 sq feet? That's rather cheap. More like 1800 to 2,000 as it's 2.00 + per sq foot in Chicago/NY/LA/San Fran. I'm in TN at the moment and I pay 450.00 a month for 600 sq feet. It's 600 for the 900 and this is a town for 20K people. Your math and anger are completely off.

I had severe second hand embarrassment for Jill Zaaaaayrin. My god she couldn't have made herself look anymore desperate and pathetic. What a joke. Even Madonna wouldn't wear that shit to a WWHL taping. Is she so delusional that she actually thought that she looked good? She's such a vile woman though, she completely deserves any ridicule.
