my big gay italian wedding

what a fun night we had in new york city!! not only did we enjoy a fun-tastic limo ride (thanks to uncle jim for the limo in celebration of aunt cathy's birthday) to/from the city, show and dinner at rue 57, but we saw a fun show that had us laughing and got to see live and in (rather) close person, the real housewives of new jersey!


the girls were guest starring for 4 nights in the show being co-produced by housewife, dina manzo, herself. nice production in a small, personal venue. so much fun. caroline manzo and her daughter lauren stole the show and i was actually quite impressed with their acting skills. jacqueline lauretis, caroline's sister-in-law was just funny and i didn't realize she had as much of a sense of humor as she did. theresa was, well, theresa and her part actually allowed her to read her lines, word.for.word out of a book...which was obviously very much needed! jacqueline's daughter ashley...she was a wet noodle and the show could have done entirely without her.
