The jeans the housewives bedazzled on the last episode are up for auction here! So many interesting things to see. For example, ” Denim + Diamonds was a benefit for the international children’s charity Smile Train, hosted by model and cast member of The Real Housewives of New York City, Kristen Taekman. As seen on TV, prior to the event each of The Real Housewives of New York City cast members decorated a pair of jeans which were on display that evening. 100% of proceeds from this auction support Smile Train. ” Am I the only one that got the impression that it was HEATHER that was sponsoring the charity event? I may have just assumed it was Heather since the jeans are all Yummie Tummie but apparently that was just Heather getting her infomercial in. 
I have more questions. Why were they bedazzling jeans in the winter for a charity event in the summer? Why are three or four people bidding up Heather and Bethenny’s jeans? There are bidders that are overbidding their own bids. I get that it is for charity but why not just make a big bid to start with?
Ramona and Sonja are the only ones pictured on the step and repeat for the event with Kristen. It looks like perhaps no one else chose to support her in the off season.
I forget my other questions because it’s hot and I stupidly stayed up all night trying to hear the hamsters whispering. Y’all can take it from here. 🙂
Most of the designs on the jeans were eighties…but jazzy. Better than that was Carol’s knitted baja in Turks and Caicos. Love love love it! Brought back teen age memories growing up in southern Cal.
From the ones I saw the only pair I would wear (if I had a 28 waist) was Ramona’s with the silvertoned necklace and a few studs on the waistband.

I like Carole’s Style (I can do without some of the recent purchases from BeBe’s etc).
I didn’t care for most of the jeans-I’m a practical girl-how do wash jeans with feathers on the back pockets?
Btw, does anyone else have a parent who calls them dungarees?
Shhhhhh! No one tell Nene or there will be a flood of Bedazzled Panties on eBay.
LOLOL.
Wow those are some hideous jeans, Sonja ‘ s design looks like she sat on Toucan Sam and smashed him leaving his feathered remains all over the ass of those jeans. Dorinda ‘ s taste level remains consistent with her Berkshires home decor.
“Dorinda‘s taste level remains consistent with her Berkshires home decor.” Lol.
How the hell do you clean those jeans with the damn feathers????
They’re glued on. If you actually wore them the feathers would fall off. Same with Dorinda’s coasters. >
At least people are bidding. Remember poor DeShawn during her auction on the first season of RHOA? No one was bidding on anything. I love auctions and especially silent auctions. It is the thrill of the hunt. When prices start going real high, I always have to remind my husband that it is for charity.
Kristen looks very pretty as hostess but the bedazzled jeans in that pic above are just downright ugly.
What?? You don’t like pompom’s on your $250 jeans?
What are you doing here without Dorinda???? I just got periscope and that’s Andys fav thing to say to his dog. Plus he really really loves him some Bethany and Vicki.
Lol that you thought it was Heather’s charity! Kristen arranged it so I assumed it was her function, but she did hold it at Heather’s friend’s apartment? So that was weird. I wonder how much the coaster jeans went for..
Why do you wonder? The auction is going now.

But they are in NYC and I am in Minnesota 🙁 . I am assuming a pair of bedazzled yummie jeans with coasters as ass pockets must be priceless. Super stylish while also being useful.
/HeavySigh You are one of those folks that does know how links, or the Internet works, or what online auctions are, and have never seen a UPS truck, aren’t you?

Lol! I clicked the link that brought me back to the recap. I’ve had a few beers, plus blonde. I will show myself out.
I’m surprised Ramona supported her considering Kristen has been tearing Ramona a NEW one in her blogs this season especially in recent episodes.
Even though Dorinda hasn’t been there, she was been EXTREMELY supportive of SmileTrain on social media lately. I’m happy when the women are honestly and genuinely supportive of each others’ efforts during the off season.
I would love to try some Yummie Jeans; not any bedazzled however. I missed most of this episode. Cute idea for charity though. Kristen looks so pretty in the above pic. Stay cool TT. ♡ ♡
I have some. They’re super comfy and very complimentary to one’s posterior.
I just went on the web site I am going to buy a few pairs. They look amazing. I need all of the help I can get lol.
Love this! Two of my favorites…Ebay and sparkly things 🙂
Me too!! Love the sparkle 🙂
I clicked through the little pictures on e-bay. It seems like everyone was there but Bethenny. Surprisingly there was not one pic on the step-and-repeat of all of them together. I don’t get Kristen’s design. Ugh. For me it would be a toss up between Bethenny’s and Heather’s. I’m surprised that the bidding is close between the two. I thought more people would be interested in Yummi jeans bedazzled by the Yummi founder Heather Thomason.
The same bidders more or less or bidding on Heather and Bethenny’s jeans. There are only like four people making the bids on the ones I looked at.

So pretty much both Heather’s and B’s assistants are trying to bid their bosses jeans up so that they sell for the most?
Well it is for charity. So I am ok with their ego’s requiring it.
Those jeans are just as hideous as expected.
Jake from State Farm hideous
Jake from State Farm hideous…funny !!
I present to you the Seven Deadly Sins of RHONY:
Lust-LuAnn
Gluttony-Dorinda
Greed-Bethenney
Sloth-Carole
Wrath-Heather
Envy-Sonja
Pride-Ramona
For Kristen, we dig into history and find one of the big ones that just missed the top 7, Acedia, or Apathy
Greed, Sloth, Pride and Wrath are 100% on point. I feel like the others could all easily be interchangeable for Sonja. Her storylines are always: drinks to much (gluttony), sleeps around too much (lust) and covets what everyone else has – money, husbands, companies etc (envy).
Are they not publicizing this on Twitter? You would think there would be more than a couple dozen or less bidders overall.

Especially when it is is likely that some of those bidders are friends/associates/employees of the ladies themselves.
I know. I don’t get it.

I just checked out Kristen’s twitter timeline and gave her a couple of retweets on her charity. I am starting to think that the reason we don’t see much of Kristen is because she is just a nice, good person. And she probably hates being the carrier pigeon and sincerely wanted advice from Bethenny. Sadly, her alignment with Brandi and Bethenny’s alignment with Kyle likely cock blocked that.

I don’t see how she can have issues with any of the ladies on the show and still be friends with Brandi. Brandi must really suck up to her.
“I am starting to think that the reason we don’t see much of Kristen is because she is just a nice, good person.”
Exactly. I like her twitter and her blog; she does a nice job with Last Night’s Look. I like the Pop of Color line (at least it isn’t more alcohol), and I like the pictures she posts of her family having fun. She is just a nice person, and I enjoy that contrast to the other ho bags.
The whole eBay listing is pathetic. Mine photographs are awful, as are the jeans. The bidding has not moved since last night. The most this thing would raise if bidding ended now is less than $3,000 and that is mostly due to Bethenneys and Heathers jeans going for $600 each.
Ramona has the most bids but the lowest price. I liked Carole’s – a simple heart. Did Sonya even do anything? She tied a bow on it.
You have to go back & look at the back of Sonja’s. Hideous feather monstrosity. >
It looks like Sonja just did one strip of hot glue over the top of each back pocket, slapped a row of feathers on, grabbed a drink and called it a day.
Oh my god that is hideous. Thanks for letting me know. I will remember them forever.
When you bid on Ebay, you can put in a maximum bid, so when anyone outbids you, Ebay automatically enters a new bid for you. Bidding usually starts very low and then increases in increments of 25 cents, 50 cents, $1.00, $5.00 etc. as the bidding goes up. It sometimes looks like someone is bidding against themselves because all of the bids are not shown. For instance, if an item starts at 99 cents, you could enter a maximum bid of $20, but it will show your bid as 99 cents until someone else places a bid. Then it will show their bid as $1.24 and then your next bid as $1.49 if the bidding is in 25 cent increments. As the bidding continues, the increments increase.
Did someone ask for an Idiots Guy To Online Bidding? I see no hands. There are people UPBIDDING THEIR OWN BIDS.
Don’t worry about trying to understand. This appears to be a complicated concept for you.
