Bryn is going to get blessed (not baptized according to Gina) at Gina's church where there are red carpets and drums. There is a Marky Markowicz at the church and B asks who that is, is it the Jewish Marky Mark to which Gina replies Yes. LOL.
When Gina shows B what kind of dancing goes on there it looks like she's either having a slight seizure or she's been possessed. B doesn't want to go now because she doesn't want to dance involuntarily.
B has a woman come over to help with baby proofing the house. Do people honestly need help in doing this? Read a book or use some common sense, who hires a specialist to baby proof your house? I guess when you have shitloads of money you can pay for anything to be done so you don't have to do it.
They crawl all over the floor to find the hazards. The DVR is one of them because Bryn could start recording porn.
My favorite Bethenny line of the episode so far:
B: "I'm thinking I have a really nice and safe nurturing environment for my baby...and now all of the sudden I'm in 'nam."
Time for the ceremony at Gina's church. I thought they were actually walking into a bodega or a Chinese food restaurant but no, it is the church. B says it looks like a place one would get bail bonds from. I'm scared already.
I'm an atheist so religion scares me a bit to begin with but the only religion I know anything remotely about is Catholic...and I know the bare minimum. So all of this is foreign to me.
Everyone is dressed in very colorful clothing and the women have turbans on their head. Is that the right word? Headdress? B has to wear one that is orange with a little fringe. There are drums and I almost feel like I'm a Phish show.
All of the sudden one of the women says that Bryn is going to be baptized. Jason is freaking out a bit since he and his family are catholic. They thought they were just going there for her to get a blessing. Gina assures them that it is not a baptism as a man yanks Bryn out of B's hands.
That's it, I don't care who I would offend, no one would be grabbing my kid like that from me. I'm scared shitless right now. I feel like they are going to do some kind of Weekend at Bernie's 2 stuff.
NO OFFENSE to anyone who is Baptist or from Trinidad or has this kind of church...I'm just saying, what you don't know can scare you and I'm extremely protective over my son.
Bryn is getting passed around and then a woman is holding her and bouncing her around while people sing loudly and chant and play drums. B is very uncomfortable and thankfully just takes Bryn and basically runs out of there.
This is like a NIGHTMARE to me. I can't believe Gina did this. This isn't funny or cool in any way at all. Motherly instinct is a very VERY strong thing that one doesn't really understand until she is a mother.
It is near Halloween and B & Jason are picking out costumes. They try on clown costumes. I like B's socks but not for Halloween, just for regular use.
Because of US Weekly I know that they end up with the Panda costumes.
B and Jason confront Gina about the church situation. Gina apologizes, as she should for not explaining what the whole blessing ceremony was about.
Oh no, B is at her therapist again. They need to cut this portion out of the show. She just reiterates everything that has happened and tells her feelings that she has already told to the camera except the therapist turns it back to her own mother and her lack of protectiveness.
A shot taken of regular New York people walking shows a woman with a Coach purse and matching Coach boots. Ding ding ding! Winner of the ugliest outfit of the day!
B & Jason are now at a church to talk to the priest and get B comfortable with the baptism situation. I understand a lot more of what is going on in this church but it still scares me.
B asks Julie, her assistant to be Bryn's godmother. It is actually a very touching moment and I tear up a little bit.
It is Halloween and the Hoppy family, including Cookie the dog are dressed up as pandas. Their friends are dressed up as Jersey Shore people. They go trick or treating in the suburbs.
It is the day of the Catholic christening and Bryn looks adorable. That's all I have to say about this religious stuff.
Everyone heads out to eat to celebrate and Bryn looks even cuter. I just want to smoosh her.
Your screen snap-shots are priceless.
ReplyDeleteLOL@ pointing out the Coach lady. Do rich people still wear coach? I know us poor folks do!
Bryn is too cute, isn't she?
Great re-cap as usual. I don't even bother watching the show anymore (again, your screen shots help).
XOXO
