Odd Mom Out's Sean Kleier steps Behind The Rope. Yes, Lex Von-Weber from Bravo's classic scripted series Odd Mom Out. So many questions, so little time. Sean chats with us about how he originally met series creator Jill Kargman. Based on her book Momzillas, Odd Mom out chronicled the wealthy mommy clique that resides in New York's prestigious Upper East Side. Sean explains the casting process, what attracted him to the role of Lex Von-Weber and how much fun it was to act on this Bravo series each week for three years. Part of that fun was due to costarring with, not only Jill Kargman, but the brilliant Abby Elliot and Icon Joanna Cassidy. Sean chats about off camera shenanigans between cast members, why the show ended and where he thinks Lex Von-Weber would be today. Of course, having been on Bravo, we chat about Sean's own experience with our friends “The Real Housewives” and of course Mr. Andy Cohen and his infamous Watch What Happens Live appearance. We also chat about Odd Mom Out's multitude of guest stars including, but not limited to, Jill's sister in law at the time, Drew Barrymore!

Not Your Pinterest Wedding with Danielle Renshaw & Sara Shepherd
Kayla Eaton is the owner of Lavender Park Bridal, a bridal shop in Clarksville, Tennessee that caters exclusively to brides and makes their shopping experience all about them. Today Kayla chats with Danielle and Sara about opening her business in 2019, her best advice for brides while shopping for their dress, and her favorite bridal lines and trends, including colored dresses and clean lines. She explains why Pinterest may give brides an unrealistic vision for their dress, how to get creative with your veil to really make your gown stand out, and why you should never trust bridal alterations to your quilting grandma. Kayla talks about her goals to make sure Lavender Park Bridal was size inclusive, offered unique styles, and gave brides an experience to cherish and remember when she opened up her shop. You'll also hear why she recommends only bringing three people with you to shop for your dress, how Kayla, Danielle, and Sara deal with ‘Momzillas,' and of course, they end by sharing their bridal gown horror stories.

Thanks for listening! Episode Highlights: Kayla Eaton is the owner of Lavender Park Bridal, which caters exclusively to the bride and makes the entire shopping experience about her She opened her shop in 2019 Kayla's advice to start shopping for a dress early - at least six months in advance, to allow your dress to come in and leave time for alterations Average national cost for a wedding dress is $2000 Kayla likes to provide a high end experience for brides of all price points She loves the bridal line https://www.watters.com/wtoo/ (WToo), which features classic, clean lines with whimsy and high end lace Importance of listening to her brides to help bring their vision to life Her favorite question to ask is, What is your aesthetic? Always ask for adjectives to help brides pinpoint what they are looking for Pinterest makes Kayla's job more difficult because brides get attached to dresses that are out of their price range or are very high end, limited designs Dresses on Pinterest do not have price tags She loves colored dresses, because the details show beautifully in photographs Helping brides choose a dress color based on skin tone and veering away from pure white in favor of ivory, which is warmer and more flattering Clean lines are the biggest trend in bridal right now Getting creative with your veil Average cost for alterations is $600 to $800 Wearing undergarments or shapewear to your fitting - whatever you will be most comfortable wearing on your big day Lavender Park Bridal is size inclusive, offers unique designs, and is 100% ‘Team Bride' Kayla's love for opera and theatre, and how it ties into her passion for everything bridal She suggests only bringing 3 people with you when shopping for your dress so that you don't let everyone's opinions cloud your vision ‘Momzillas' are much worse than ‘Bridezillas,' and how to handle situations when families are not supportive of bride's choices Bridal shop horror stories Quotes: “What makes us different is that we do everything kind of exclusively for the bride. So what that means is that when she comes in, she has a suite to herself. She has the floor to herself. She has a consultant to herself. The whole experience is about her.”

Spring has Sprung and that means Wedding Season is in the air! Now I don’t know about you guys but I actually love wedding season. Free food, dressing up, open bar – that’s all my favorite things. But I know it can get old fast and become a real #bigkidproblem if you’re shelling out a ton of money over and over again to celebrate OTHER peoples happiness. And to be real.. its gotten a little out of hand recently. . But that’s why I thought it would be fun to kick this wedding season off with a little specialty episode, where we can get the real dirt behind the scenes of weddings with two all-star Wedding Planners who have SEEN IT ALL. That’s why I ventured to Nashville Tennessee to sit down with the duo behind H-3-Events, Hugh Howser and Kate Steele. They are my panel AND my experts this week because they live and breathe all things weddings and have some tea to SPILL. We talk everything from Momzillas, to missing Brides, bad bridesmaids, open bar fails, dance floor makeouts infront of Grandma and so much more. We even chat some money-saving tips and I test YOUR knowledge of some wedding traditions at the end that might just blow your mind. Want more from our guests?

Jill Kargman spares nobody and nothing in her books Momzillas and Sometimes You Feel Like a Nut, and in her late, beloved TV show Odd Mom Out. In real life, too, the actress, comedian, and writer finds very little that's sacred. In a hilarious and wild conversation, Kargman talks about life in DORITO (hint: it's a neighborhood in Manhattan), being shunned at her daughter's ballet class, the problem with traveling by private jet, and how she responded to anti-Semitism at her son's private school. Plus, we learn about the proper size of a bialy and gain more insight into Jordana's dynamic with her mother.
