Real Housewives of Orange County in Key West
Last week, Tamara Tattles spies in Key West let me know that the Real Housewives of Orange County would be filming starting tomorrow (or perhaps tonight) down in the keys. It’s an interesting location choice for man reasons. I can fly to Paris faster than the can fly to Key West. It’s a bit laid back for them. And the single and recently divorced ones will find a lot of great guys there, but they are all gay. So they probably won’t be bringing any pirates back home from the bar to pass around.
Speaking of bringing pirates home to plunder your booty, Tamara Tattles sources say the hotel the housewives are staying in is not quite to the style they have become accustomed. So there may be bitching and complaining. Oh who am I kidding? Of course there will be bitching and complaining.
The Tres Amigas shared their travel costumes for this particular venture on Instagram with the hashtag #TresAmigas. Kelly Dodd says she will be hanging with the younger set, Emily Simpson and Gina Kirschenheiter. It looks like on the first night, everyone headed out except for Tamra and Shannon.
They stayed in and had some sort of”no pants night”in the room. Tamra appeared to be doing Shannon’s hair. When you take into account that the flight was a good seven hours with a stop over, plus getting to and from two airports, even I would just hit the shower and the minibar and watch movies until I fell asleep. I doubt they were filming that late.
These Two Were Ready to Whoop It Up!
Gina and Emily wasted no time doing a quick change to get out and grab a drink. What to we think of Gina’s new bleached blonde look?
Those carpets though…
Tamara Tattles exclusive sources tell me that the trip is fairly short, only a few days. It is supposed to rain on Thursday. Rain tends to move on quickly there. So, probably not an issue. I think Kelly Dodd will be the issue on this trip. They have a jeep day planned to explore on one of the days. I am hoping to get all of the tea from them as soon as they hear something. I’ll keep you updated.
What are you thought on the Real Housewives of Orange County in Key West? Southern Charm got into a lot of mischief there.
I’m so here for this! So over the standard Miami, Destin and Bahamas trips always featured on Bravo. Hopefully the RHOC girls bring their A game this season because BH and Atl are/were horrible and I cant survive on NY alone.
My sister lives in Key Largo, but even that is like 100 miles from Key West. I’ve only been there once (and don’t remember much) so I think it’ll be great!! Tres Amigas!! I like it better when they get along weirdly or not!! I guess I’m in!!
I’ve been to key west several times and I’m excited they’re there. One good thing for them is bars are open late and you can party on the streets. It’s beautiful x you can rent scooters, pretty much get into trouble. I’m excited for the change of scenery.
Key West is SO casual…those dresses are so over the top….LOL Maybe they thought it would be like Miami…..can’t wait for them to notice the roosters roaming the streets…
I know. This is going to be a new experience for them I’m not sure they are ready for. I feel like they probably went to the Drag Queen club last night but haven’t gotten through my emails yet.
I go to Key West a couple of times a year and I promise you, Gina and Emily will stick out in those outfits. It’s definitely a flip flop kind of place. I’m dying to know where they’re staying.
One more thing….there’s a bar in baggage claim so they can start drinking immediately. This should be fun.
That’s not Tamara. That’s the hair stylist.
I can’t vouch for faces, especially in Orange County where they by a new one every season. So… i dunno. Hairdresser does make more sense.
I was in Key West last fall, it is humid even in the off season, and chickens are everywhere which is pretty cool. I dont think there are any 5 star hotels in Key West, everything is more informal, so those sparkly dresses would stand out for sure. They would have been better off in Hawaiian shirts and flip flops. It is also a pretty small place, so I bet they will attract a crowd. Cant wait to see it!
Those dresses are very much not Key West
Actually, there are a lot of high end hotels in Key West. Southernmost Waldorf Astoria, Pier House, Hyatt, Galleon, Marquesa, Heron House, etc. Sunset Key.
In addition, there are some high end resorts that you have to take a boat to get to.
While drinking on the street isn’t illegal, you won’t get stopped by the police unless you are really acting like a fool. I imagine this means the ladies will get locked up before it’s over.
It feels gross seeing Vicki whoop it up as “Bride to Be” knowing she HAD to get engaged or lose her Orange. All I see is her pathetic, needy behavior trying to maintain the illusion of top “OG”
100!!!
1000!!
you can drink all you want on the street as long as it’s in a plastic cup.
They have some nice hotels at the sunset pier end of duval, Pier House has their own tiny beach and beach bar which can be cool. I hope they are not at La Concha which is right in the middle on Duval. It’s not very glam but it is really the only place right on Duval.
Agree with everyone regarding those outfits but I’m going to assume they are partying on the gay end of Duval where they will blend in just fine with all the drag queens! And have a really great time, much more upbeat and whoop it up.
Now I’m excited, just wish they had done KW when they were a little younger.
Congratulations to Vicki and Steve. They have been together for over 2 years and they lived together, so getting married should not be so alarming and surprising to RHOC fans. I hope this season they are able to turn the ship back around and steer towards giving us a good watch.
I just had another thought… will they go to the rooftop at the Bull??? It’s nude up there!
That would be the Garden of Eden…..it’s not too pretty up there from what I heard from a “friend.”
I’ve been up there. FancyPants is right – it ain’t pretty!
Lots of old frank and beans that I, I mean my friend, didn’t need to see.
Maybe the producers will rent out a drag bar and fill it with extras to make it look like it was open like they did with Southern Charm.
Shannon’s face looks different. I can’t put my finger on what it is… just different.
Gina has gone much blonder, I think too blonde. I was guilty of the same thing for awhile, when my hairdresser would just bleach my color and eventually it turns almost white and is too much. Shannon’s face looks the same to me, except in the begaining of her being on the show she had a more natural face with not as much filler. Her body looks great. Im happy for Vickie and I think Steve is a great guy.
That bleach blonde hair makes women look older. Okay when they’re in the twenties anything after that just makes you look old and washed out
I’m pretty sure they’re actually in Miami based on Instagram stories. They were all at a club last night, including Shannon and Tamra.
Well they are going to arrive in Key West today feeling like shit then. 🙂
These ladies are so not Key West material.
We go to Key West often, my family has had a house there since the 1970s.
I will not go out in Miami without getting a full blowout.
I’ll go out in Key West still in my bathing suit after spending the day at Fort Zachary Taylor beach. Like I’ll go out out.
They just don’t fit the Key West vibe.
I’m sure they will rent scooters and someone will wreck it.
I hope they go to Dry Tortugas.
I know exactly what you mean! It’s liberating walking around with no make-up on and just pulling my hair up. I think it would be awesome if they had to take the Yankee Freedom – with all the “commoners” – and get dumped off at the Dry Tortugas. Beautiful scenery for us, but they’d lose their minds. No servants, booze, etc…
I just did the SoCal to Keys over the holiday. Will never again make that trip. I laughed at the Paris line because I literally thought next time I’m going to Europe instead- and will in all likelihood arrive sooner. Miami was just ok. It was like LA, just hotter weather and older people in cheaper clothes and cars (not that I mind that kind of thing).
I’m not loving the new hair on Gina. The playboy bunny look needs to stay in your 20s IMO, even if you live among them.
Gina’s hair looks awful. And Emily looks older than Vicki.
Well sure but 98% of Vickie is 10 yrs old or less!
I think Emily looks really nice, except they’re all overdressed for the Keys. Not a fan of Gina’s bleached hair, however. Given Gina’s driving record in the last year, I’d suggest she stay away from even scooters at this point – LOL. I’m not sure I’m even buying the Vicky/Steve engagement – have a very weird feeling this marriage will perhaps go down like Luann and Tom, even tho Vicky certainly has allegedly known Steve longer – it just all seems faked, in my humble opinion, just so she could keep her OG job or is it now more of a “friend of the show” job – anything to keep herself in the limelight, I suppose. It just makes me wonder what she had to buy Steve to ask her or whether she paid him in teeth and/or clothes. I know, that’s tacky, but in all fairness to me, Vicky set the bar fairly low with Brooks already. I hope they all stay safe in the Keys, given their propensity to get hammered. Whoop it up, I guess.
I am looking forward to this season ! Thanks for the tea !
That carpet looks like Charlie Brown’s sweater. I can’t wait to see what kind of arguments they all get into this season. I honestly thought that was Tamra styling Shannon’s hair.
They stayed at Parrot Key hotel and Gina’s hair looked even worse in person.
I just saw the preview and thought I recognized Parrot Key, wonderful place!
