Oh man, how do I describe my night out with Atlanta Housewife NeNe and OC's Vicki? How about: intense, madcap, hilarious, and boozy?

We started at Home and Guesthouse for Instinct Magazine's Leading Men party hosted by "Make Me a Supermodel" alum Ronnie Kroll. The gaggle of very cute boys were verklempt by the sight of the Housewives, and it was most hilar watching the reaction of the left-out-lady when a boy would go up to her counterpart and say "YOU are my favorite, number one housewife." Inevitably the other housewife would challenge the kid and whip them into adoring submission. Oh joy.

From there we hit Christian Siriano's "surprise" birthday soiree on 21st Street where the MisShapes were spinning. Christian was adorable as ever and I ran into my co-presenter from the Paper Awards, NYC Trans club queen Sophia Lamar working some fierce bangs. I also met Bravo publicity exec Tory Brody's ball ‘n’ chain, which was a pleasant shocker!

After hearing Vicki "woo hoo" a few times, I grabbed the ladies and we hit Bowery Bar, where Beige was in full swing and Erich Conrad had a booth awaiting the ladies. That place is still, after 15 years, a parade of hot young dirty things. NeNe had a running commentary going on the highs and lows of the Beige-tendees that was must-hear. She is very fixated on the shapes of people's noses, and shares her opinions on the topic freely, right to the nose. Bruce and Michael bopped over from the "Milk" premiere around the corner, where the cast was partying with Valentino.

At around 10:35, I started getting text messages from people who'd seen the reunion show promo and were agape at the drama to come. Nene said she'd heard a clip of it and was pretty shocked herself. The truth is that she basically lost her shit at Kim after bottling up anger for months. More on this later. More on this later!

In the meantime here's an interview I did with NeNe during a break in taping:
