It's like when you, when you can't sleep with someone all you want to do is sleep with them...and
then when you can sleep with them, all you want to do is have them leave you alone, you know?
Isn't life like that?
Hi!
It's Dorinda Medley, from the Real Housewives, and these are the clothes of my life.
Come on in.
Well here we are!
In my boudoir, and these are some of my favorite pieces.
I think we'll start with...what you all really want to see.
The famous Bridesmaid dress.
This is a Randi Rahm, I wore this as a bridesmaid in LuAnn's wedding.
I actually love this dress, and it looks amazing on.
Fits like a glove.
Did you see me in it?
Even though the marriage didn't last, the dress does.
So i'm happy to have the dress.
My pieces hold memories, if I'm ever a ghost...I'll come back and visit my clothes.
Cause each piece represents something, and I remember the occasions when I wore them,
why I wore them.
Let's talk about my first dress, for my first interview.
They actually sit you down for four hours at a time.
They only film you from the waist up, and then I sit in a chair with literally sometimes
sweatpants on, and slippers.
To you, I look great from here up...but if you saw what was going on from here down,
you'd be horrified.
Horrified!
But I'm sitting there 4 hours!
You need to be comfortable, so my first interview dress, which I love still
Malan Breton.
This color's so good, you can't wear anything too confusing.
You have to wear something that looks...
Waist up Took me a couple of interviews to get it right,
but now if I say so myself I'm fantastic at it.
Another probably favorite piece, is my very deeply cut Ralph Lauren jumpsuit, that I wore
for my promotion work.
I actually bought this when I found out I was going to be on "Watch What Happens Live"...and
I found out that Andy Cohen loves a good jumpsuit, so he particularly liked it because it was
not only a jumpsuit, but it was a deep V. Andy likes cleavage...I don't know if you
know that about him, but he likes a little cleavage.
And he notices it, that's what I like.
You just have to make sure that you have the right boobs for it.
I really fall in love with my things.
I don't just buy to buy, I just want a comment.
That's what I feel about my fashion sense, love it, hate it, have a comment about it.
I actually have a relationship, I like to visit my clothes.
I go to the Berkshires, and visit my clothes...up in the attic.
I'm like "Oh I haven't seen you in forever!"
This was gift from Richard when I went to Paris with him one weekend.
Little did I know that he had it made for me.
So he took me to lunch, and then presented me with a beautiful, big, orange, Hermes box!
Yes!
I knew I had arrived, when I finally got my beautiful, large Birkin.
This piece is probably my favorite, favorite piece in my collection.
I got married in October to Richard, I came downstairs Christmas Morning, and he had this
Cartier necklace, was sitting on my Christmas tree.
And do you know what I asked him?
Is it real?
I really did!
I don't wear this often, I think the truth of the matter, I'm going to save it for when
Hannah gets married, and give it to her on her wedding day...that's what I'd like to do.
What haven't we covered?
We haven't covered shoes!
So let me see what I have here, oh these are great!
Let me give you some advice about a woman, know what looks good on your body and focus
on it...and distract from what is bad, and people will believe it, especially men.
If you just focus on, if your boobs are good, boobs, boobs...if your legs are good, legs,
legs, legs.
I happen to have very good long legs, so a thigh high boot suits me.
I wore these fantastic boots that come very high, with a black unitard from American Apparel,
and this fantastic Roché cape which I think is fabulous!
So you've got the theme, tell me that's not a fantastic look.
You know you gotta...your pieces have to excite you.
When you walk out that door feel like, that's a good outfit...I look good today, and you
know when you look good, and you feel good, people notice it.
They really do.
I can't tell you, I always get complimented on my style, even if I get it wrong.
I'm going to give you a sneak peek, into a couple piece that I"m going to save until
I go on the show next year...fingers crossed, I go on the show next year.
I bought this amazing Gucci piece, don't you think that will read well next year?
Imagine it comes in like this but POW, after a fight it leaves like this.
That's the lion coming out.
That's right.
And this is another great piece I got...a Stella cape.
I just think it's so...imagine coming in like this.
Coming into a scene, on a dark night.
Ready to confront someone who made me very angry the week before.
Oh no, I'm going to give you a sneak peek dress.
What did I wear to the reunion?
Well the funny thing about the reunion is about a month before the reunion, they come
up with a theme.
You actually have to get your dresses approved, it's not like you just pick it out and can
wear anything.
The first place I'd find long and flowy magical garden, but as I said my legs are very good
so I like to make sure I can get my legs out there as much as I possibly can.
So I found this amazing Jovani dress which is all embroidered butterflies.
Very garden-y...and you know what else I love about Jovani dresses?
They always have a built in bra!
I love me a good built in bra!
So you wear this with pretty much nothing else underneath.
So I think that's about it.
You guys...love color, love sparkles, keep it classy, fall in love with your pieces,
and wear them with pride.
