we start off meeting all of the Housewives. Interesting fun fact, that only 12% of Dubai is actually local population. TWELVE PERCENT. So people tend to relocate there to start over. Hmmmm.
I was wondering what the update was on the dress code there, and if the 12% locals wore the only women that wore berkas. Here is an interesting article I found that breaks down the dress code. In case you decide to visit.

So some of the ladies are close with each other, and some hate each other.
Ayan seems, well interesting. I foresee her being the source of most of the drama. She proceeds to tell us she is a fabulous bad ass bitch in four languages. All righty, then. I’m going to roll out a very cliché antiquated line here, and say – “the bigger they are, the harder the fall.” And I can see this “bad ass bitch” falling on her ass, Erika Jayne style. So she should probably put a lid on telling us how fabulous she is.
Does her 16 year old son enjoy being on shoots with her? I would think that would be boring AF for the poor kid. He doesn’t seem totally miserable. Maybe he does like it.
These skyscrapers. wtf? This city is gorg.
Caroline from Ladies of London– so she decided to stay in Dubai after divorcing her husband. Sounds like she promptly met this hot young stud two seconds after leaving her husband.
Nina is visiting Caroline, and they pop champagne on here also, in the middle of the day, for no reason. Just because they can. I felt like a housewife, at lunch yesterday. I met an old friend for lunch, we went to this awesome French restaurant nearby, and we each got a glass of champagne. I felt so bougie.
Who all watched ladies of London? I did. I remember her moving to Dubai because of her husband’s job offer, and it was this big huge thing. Just cannot get past that she’s married to a 27 year old. Twenty freaking seven! She’s 46. Does she really think he’s gonna stick around when she’s in her 50’s? He’s not.
Okay there was some Twitter chatter in regards to Caroline’s ACTUAL age. She was referring to her age as 43, but Twitter viewers were like, no she’s actually 46. Was this filmed 2 – 3 years ago? (45 when filming took place, she just had her 46th birthday in April)
I did a little searching, and found that she is indeed 46, unless several articles and searches are incorrect. And it doesn’t seem that this was filmed a few years ago, since his age dictated on the show is accurate. Her DOB: 4/28/76 – 46 as of a few a months ago. His DOB 9/28/76. He turns 28 in September. All right so she’s either confused or for whatever reason, decided to make herself out as a few years younger for the show. I guess when you marry a dude almost 19 years younger than you are, you gotta fib about your age!
I wanted to refresh myself on her ex, and divorce, so I found this article that sort of breaks it all down.
Her ex is hot !! I don’t recall him being on Ladies of London much, or ever. Hey Cem, if you’re single, ring me! I could do Dubai, I think.
Just cannot get past that we have a ‘Real Housewives of Dubai.’ Dubai! Most of these ladies are coming off rather free, and not really super conservative. I think the women that relocated here from other countries are much different than the women that were born and raised in Dubai. I hate to admit most of my Dubai education comes from the second Sex And the City movie, when Samantha took the girls there when she was doing PR for that young cute dude she represented and had a fling with. Remember she was “kissing in public” a dude she met there, and she got arrested, then they subsequently got booted from their “free room and board” luxorious penthouses. Not sure if that was somewhat of an exaggeration or not?
Also can’t deal with these shows, and the “staff” having to wear these filthy fucking embarrassing mouth diapers and the cast and customers do not. I guess if you’re one of the people desperate to hang on to this plandemic (come on – it was a PLANdemic) you could argue, that they’re dealing with food, drinks, dishes etc therefore they need to cover their germy mouths. But calling bullshit on that fucking ridiculous rationale too!~ This should not be tolerated. It gives off vibes of, the higher income bracket not being germy, but the lowly poor hospitality workers are. It’s not cool. Even on Beverly Hills, at Kyle’s and Sutton’s events, bartenders, servers masked. Not one guest was. When the mouth diaper mandates were still in full force in California in October. I know becasuse I was there, and got bitched at several times. Even in March, of this year, when I was there, it was still at thing. One Uber driver got all fucking dramatic with me about it. I told her I dropped it on the ground, and she still proceeded to give me a fucking sermon. I kept my mouth shut. Since she was my driver, and basically had my life in her hands for 15 minutes. I wanted to tell her to fuck off and get a clue. Sorry that was more than I intended to say, but I feel passionate about it. This shit needs to stop.
All right so moving on, Caroline is planning a wedding event though they’re married. They cannot marry legally in Dubai, since she is divorced, Jewish and he’s Catholic. So the poor thing, she HAD to run off to Mauritis, a picturesque island off the coast of Africa, and had a small ceremony there. If you are not familiar with Mauritius, well here you go! Like wow! Pack your bags! From the states it’s only like a 21 hour flight !
Nina is visiting Caroline, and she calls her new young lover a ‘Toy Boy’ Okay so first of all, it’s ‘Boy Toy’ I have a feeling there are going to be a lot of getting phrases wrong on here. Also while I’m on the subject of ‘Boy Toy’ because this has been bothering me for years. This phrase stems from a belt and jacket that Madonna wore in the ‘Borderline’ video in the 80’s. SHE was the Boy Toy. The boy is not the ‘Boy Toy’ the girl is. So Caroline needs to refer to herself as the ‘Boy Toy’ or ‘Toy Boy.’ Or better yet, maybe not use that phrase at all since she’s like 43, or 46, whichever.
Now we meet Lesa, an American, who designs maternity wear. Apparently for a mere $1200, you can get huge blocks of ice added to your pool.
She talks about her ‘very very successful husband.’ On Housewives, that never ends well. I like how these people actually use their pools. You see these fab pools on OC and Beverly Hills, and they never get touched. Her husband seems really sweet, and likes to just hang out and chill with the fam. I have no idea what that would be like.
Also, two Caroline’s again.
Can other Caroline, by the pool, not say ‘please or thank you’ to her housekeeper? She is ordering her to “bring me this… bring me that…” Even Ramona is not THAT fucking rude. Why would you want to be in front of millions not using common every day manners? And her kid is listening to this. She doesn’t even make eye contact with her. Yeah, not liking her already. I think I like all of them except the model chick and the other Caroline.
She thinks that she should be in The Guinness World Book of Records for her amazing success.Wow. Again I need to make a Ramona Singer comparison, since I would give her the honor as the rudest, and most arrogant Housewife, is not even that arrogant. I think she was being serious.
Ayan and Lesa meet for lunch. They seem to be besties. They gave the breakdown in the beginning as to who was besties with whom, who hated whom, who tolerated whom, but I seriously don’t remember. Lesa is canceling on plans with Ayan for Caroline’s bachelorette party. They discuss what they think Caroline and Sergio. They think it’s fake and forced. It does sound like it moved along very quickly, which isn’t always the best thing. Stanbury is very rude to Ayan, we’re learning. She is not being included in the “hen party” since she is not “for her.” Brooks calls Lesa while they’re eating and says “I heard Chanel Ayan is not invited to the hen party, and seems to be relishing int the fact that she is feeling left out.
So it’s ‘Hen Night’ aka Bachelorette Party on a fabulous yacht. Other Caroline approaches bitching and mumbling. She reminds me of Gizelle on Potomac. She is wearing a dress that seems difficult to move around in. This seems to be everyone else’s fault. Sergio is joining in. Twitter viewers seem to be getting gay vibes from Sergio. I’m not really getting that. Well, maybe a little.
They discuss Ayan’s absence. Other Caroline says, she enters a room, with feathers flying in your mouth, and her wig trailing behind her three inches from her forehead. She really does NOT seem to think that Ayan is one bad ass fabulous bitch, in any language.
So they’re playing a game, with a weenie hanging from between their legs, and they have to get it in the bottle. It’s sort of giving me taking a shit vibes. This is not sexy.
It’s the dinner party night that Nina is hosting. The ladies are to be wearing pastels. The hostess, is not wearing pastel. Other Caroline is the first to arrive and did understand the assignment, but no one else seemed to care. She’s regretting understanding the assignment. The all admire each other’s dresses as they arrive. They are really into what each is wearing, even for Housewives.
Ayan arrives and refers to Caroline as “Stanbury” and she corrects her.
She tells the ladies how she saw herself in the mirror on the way and could not believe how beautiful she is. I get she has people telling her she’s beautiful all day, and she’s a “super model” but do you guys think she’s really all that? Her face is weird. I think Lesa and Other Caroline are so much prettier.
So the other ladies never heard of the stripper name thing? Not even the Americans. They’re like “where did you get THAT?” (your first pet and mom’s maiden name)
Mine’s actually really good too.
They start to discuss the “Hen night” and Ayan is feeling left out and making faces. I guess that is kind of rude. Caroline Stanbury is very very rude to her, and dangles that “she wasn’t invited.” I get it she doesn’t care for her. She does seem like she’s not for everyone, but jeez girl. Try to be a little nice!
She says she “can’t bear this woman!” Sara who also wasn’t included doesn’t seem to mind. But she also didn’t get a call at 7am telling her that she was excluded. Sara seems to not know Caroline really, so that’s why she’s okay with the discussion of what fun everyone had.
They really don’t care how this is making Ayan feel, and keep talking about the events of the evening.
Ayan makes a quick toast sort of, and quickly goes into bitching at “Brooks” (other Caroline) for calling her to tell her that she was excluded because she “wasn’t important.” Brooks says that is not how she meant it. It escalates into them screaming at each other that they’re both lying.
Did they even eat yet, and they’re already screaming? I didn’t even see appetizers or anything.
Ayan calls her jealous, and Other Caroline yells – “jealous of what – your ugly leather pants?” Just kidding, but she does say, “jealous of what, your stiff wig looking like a scarecrow?”
Ayan says, “look at my face, look at your face.” Again I think Other Caroline is a lot prettier. But that’s also a really shallow thing to say.
They’re waving sage around, that does not seem to be helping.
I feel like with the “important” thing, they’re getting too focused on a word. (what does THAT sound like?) I think what probably happened is that Caroline Stanbury said to Brooks is that only “important” people, as in close friends, are invited. Important is a word people use for describing close friends. There. End of story. I can see why she feels left out, but needs to drop the “not important” thing.
Maybe there was food, because Lesa says she wants dessert.
