Class with the Countess

Do you watch The Real Housewives of New York City on Bravo? I'll admit that I do. And this week my sister and I, out of curiousity, attended a local book signing/reading (top photo) by "Countess" LuAnn de Lesseps of her new book Class with the Countess: How to Live with Elegance and Flair.The event (much like the Bravo show) felt half-real, half-parody; there is something intrinsically entertaining about the star of a Bravo reality TV show telling an audience that it is not classy to talk about oneself too much! I haven't read the book (yet) but I'm sure it is just as entertaining (in an ironic way) as the Countess herself. $16.32 at Amazon.com.
