8:00 pm begins MY TIME. Dinner is usually finished and the dishes are done. I am not sharp enough to write a post, article, or chapter, and the glare of the LED screen has taken it’s toll on my eyes. It means one thing. TELEVISION Oh, not ANY television, it means a glass of wine and some mind numbing, ridiculous, fight-ensuing, tacky, “reality” television. In one word – BRAVO. If there’s ONE thing that can take me totally away from the pressure of the day or the mind that won’t SHUT UP no matter what I do Bravo seems to be able to take care of it. Why? It’s simple, I’m an addict and when I get my fix I fall into a coma.
This season, Bravo slipped a little something into my mix that I wasn’t expecting – “Pregnant in Heels” starring Rosie Pope. You have to understand a few things. I knew of Rosie Pope BEFORE the show. She was a fabulous dancer (Alvin Ailey) and I love her fashions (she’s a maternity clothes designer), so I poured my glass of Flip-Flop Pinot Grigio, picked up the remote and waited for the implosion. What I got was Rosie being elegant and sweet, while her Mom Prep clients would melt down on camera one fit at a time. I LOVE IT.
Unfortunately, tonight – Tuesday, May 24th is the final episode of the season – 10 EST and 9 CT. But it’s Bravo, so if you missed any of this season’s episodes you’ll certainly be able to catch them again (and again, and again, and…).
This past weekend I had the pleasure of meeting Rosie. We had an interview scheduled on Saturday morning, but I was able to meet her and introduce myself on Friday (a chance passing). When I walked into the interview room that Saturday morning, Rosie greeted me by NAME with a big smile (and not just the name on my tag or on her list…which said “Zipporah” – she called me ZIPPY). I was impressed and enchanted. Once the quick interview was finished I put down my camera and we chatted for about a half hour. Did I say that I’m impressed and enchanted (it bears repeating).
Thank you to Rosie Pope and her PR team for making me feel like an old friend, rather than a gawking fan. I appreciate it.

I am absolutely taken by Rosie Pope. So glamorous and so soulful at once. What wonderful traits.

I haven’t seen an episode of Pregnant in Heels yet, but you have me very intrigued. She seems awesome! I’ll be taping this last episode and watching for the show next season!
Zipporah says
Tesa – she’s on Bravo and they do ONE thing VERY well…repeat, repeat, repeat. You’ll be able to catch the old episodes over & over again.
She’s absolutely charming.
Andrea @ The Creative Junkie says
I just caught this show last night for the first time! I thought she was smart and charming and the show was interesting. However, I’m absolutely horrible with accents … what kind of accent does she have?
Zipporah says
Andrea – here’s what she said regarding her accent: “My accent is confusing…grew up in London till 18 then moved to NY and married a man from Mississippi…so Southern English I guess!”
She has a lisp as well, which creates that interesting sort of sound. We sat and just chatted for about a half hour after the interview. She’s the type of person that you’d want as a best friend…warm, accepting, funny and honest.
