ANNOUNCING SOMETHING EXCITING!!!!
“The Ring Leader”
Premieres Monday, February 27 at 10pm ET/PT on BRAVO
Follows larger than life wedding planner, KRISTIN BANTA, whose out-of-the-box style is revolutionizing the way couples look at their special day.
Hip, hysterical, and artistic beyond the limits of imagination.
Yes, friends, she's my darling daughter, so forgive a mother's pride...and please tune in. She's beautiful, hysterical, and soooo talented. No, none of it came from me - I just popped her out and raised her on martinis, the Stones, and John Irving. Okay, maybe it was I who was drinking the martinis. I can't remember due to the black-outs.
Thank you for indulging a proud mama!
I'LL BE BACK WITH BLOOPERS THIS FRIDAY!

Congratulations! That sure makes you a proud mama!
She is lovely and if she has half your brains, the weddings will be memorable indeed!
Thank you, Mike - I just hope she can support me in my old age :-)
Thank you, Marge. Yes, she has half my brains. She has her own and the missing half of mine!
You are such a proud mom Gwen, and that's cool. Will have to set the Tivo for that night.
Hi Gwen--that is fantastic and you have every right to be proud Mother. Does she also have your great sense of humor? I am setting the DVR as soon as I finish this comment!
Gwen
You certainly don't look lke you've got a daughter who's old enough to be a planner and have her show at that. But then I look at that gorgeous picture of her, and then of you, and I'm a believer.
Congrats on her landing that show, and congrats on you for producing a talented offspring.
Congratulations Gwen. She is obviously a chip off the old block. What a weird saying:)
How very fun Gwen! That is waaay past my bedtime, but I will see what I can do. TV is something I don't do a lot of.
What channel is Bravo on?
Congratulations Gwen,
Proud Mama, as you should be! I will watch for her on Bravo.
How cool! Congrats proud Mama. We'll be sure to watch for it!
Gwen...
Wow, that is awesome. Be sure to remind us the day of the show so we don't miss it!
How exciting! I'll definitely have to check it out; any child raised on martinis has GOT to be a fun adult!
Gwen, your daughter? I want to know what skin products you are using!
Gwen ~ Wish her all the best, sounds like she'd worked hard and has the support of her number one fan. Congrats!
Congratulations Gwen and Kristin -- I certainly did a double take when you said daughter. It appears Pat Kennedy had the same thoughts.
Gwen - She could be your sister, not your daughter! I look forward to watching her show. Congratulations!
Pacita, you made my day - thank you!
Conrad, thank you...and perhaps that saying came from Pinocchio :)
Jay, Bravo IS a channel...but you knew that, right? And don't worry, it's past my bedtime, too. :)
Lisa and Mike - thank you so much for your support.
Richard, that's a GREAT IDEA!
...or a sick one, Kat!
Patricia, I use Stoli Vodka as a night regimen.
Thank you, Diane and Michael. Michael, I do double takes often, but I'm sure that has something to do with my martini fixation :)
Gail, I now have a big dopey grin on my face. Thank you!
Gwen -- Saw that you had posted today, and thought, "She is a day early with her funnies." This is just a good, not as funny yet, but we will have to see how the show goes.
Hey there proud Mama,
She has to be great....with a education of Stones and martinis! Maybe You tube it for us Bravo challenged?
Dick Beals
Yes, that was a silly Jay comment, the kind that embarrasses my children. I am very good at that.
Steven, thanks for your support. Yes, weddings can be funny - mine sure was. Oh wait, that was the marriage...
Dick, that's a GREAT idea. I wonder if Bravo will allow that?
Jay, I LOVED it. I count on you for my weekly smiles, you know.
Gwen,
That is very cool... Congrats!
Ann Hayden in Wildwood, MO
Thank you, Ann!
Wow, Gwen. You must be so proud. As you know I will be out of the country and I don't think I get Bravo :(
I've marked it in my calendar - but I also thought you were talking about your sister . . .
Well, proud momma, you should write a parenting book. It looks you did a good job with Kristin. Very exciting, and please tell her she already has a momma induced fan club!
Thank you, Mike - but she's trying to raise me.
I bet (and hope)that she has your sense of humor. :D
That is the coolest thing! I know you are so very proud. I watch shows on Bravo all of the time so I will make sure to watch this! Congrats for having such a cool daughter :)!
Patty, she's even more twisted than I am - she had me for a mother!
Brenda, what a lovely thing to say - THANK YOU!
