Hi Jill
I feel like I know you! LOL I love watching you and Bethenny on the show, you are both very at ease in front of the camera. I love your apt and the Brad effect looks much better in the magazine photos! He is a riot to watch and listen to. But, you are lucky to have both a gay and straight husband. Thanks for your wonnderful show, and your fun and unique personality..I love it!
PS You and Bethenny should have a contest for us fans…and the prize would be to meet you both and have a day in NY. You are fabulous and fun. And as Bethenny would say…you both have fabulousity…the good kind

Hi Jill — love the show (I think it’s the best of the “Real Housewife” shows, but that’s only my opinion — the others are fun, too.) I love your family — Gloria, your sister, Ally, Bobby, Brad, even Ginger.
Has your stepson chosen not to be on the show? I respect that — but it would be cool to meet him on an episode sometime.
If I can find a copy of the magazine, I’ll send it for an autograph. Do you think you could get Brad, Bobby and Bethenny to sign it too? Sorry, I had to ask.
I hope I can find the store’s address on the website (I’m guessing it’s there).
Ignore Mario — whatever his other huge flaws, he’s one heck of a tennis player, you gotta give him that! I also like Silex better than most seem to — they’re just quirky.
Thanks for the fun show!

I am subsciber to Traditional Home – I will be sending my copy (with return envelope) for a signature. Thank you in advance for taking the time to sign it! You have a beautiful family!!! I am proud to say I have a “Bobby” too, but mine is named “Doug” There is nothing wrong with having a man that likes to provide his wife the finer things in life. After all, we raise the little ones, run and organize the homes/offices, not to mention take very good care of the men. We should never feel guilty when they take us on vacation, buy us a jewelry or even the car of our choice.
Wishing you all the best to you and your family!!!

Your apartment is lovely… You and Brad did a great job. I can’t wait to see what you did with Bethany’s apartment. When are you going to show the pics?
April 23rd, 2009 at 9:14 am
I bought the magazine, loved the pictures, and just mailed it to the store in hopes that you’ll be able to sign a copy for myself and a friend of mine who also loves the show.
You really are a great role model, and your “deal with an issue and then move on” is great – better to live life without holding grudges, and unfortunately it’s hard to find people like that…especially on reality shows. Thanks for showing the world that you can work hard, be successful and STILL be a good person to both your friends and to the world around you by helping others less fortunate.

Dear Jill,
Congratulations on the magazine cover and the beautiful family picture.
I adore you and your family and Zarin Fabric’s deserves to be recognized for all of the hard work that went into your apartment. You are very blessed to have such a caring husband, and it is obivous that he loves you very much. Don’t you think that you were a little hard on him about your new vehicle? He was so proud to give you that gift and when you complained he said I knew that you would find something wrong. I don’t think that you realized how you sounded but you could tell that it really hurt Bobby’s feelings. Maybe that is just the way you two are with each other, so maybe it was okay with him. Anyway I love the show and you and your family are the best. Thank you for bring so much joy into my TV time.

Hi Jill: I have to say, the pictures in the magazine show your apartment much better than the show. I hate the way it looks on the show, but love it in the magazine. Very pretty. When you see it on the show, it looks so cluttered, but it seems as though it has clean lines and beautiful colors. Great Job!
April 22nd, 2009 at 11:01 pm
LOVE the apartment. The wall treatment in the living area is to die for. How can you ever leave your home to go anywhere else? It is so beautiful! BTW you look great. Are you the youngest cast member? I peg Kelly to be somewhere between 50 and 55, I am sure she has had a ton of ‘work’ done on her.
April 22nd, 2009 at 11:51 pm
I am 45 ..in the middle. Ramona 54?
April 22nd, 2009 at 10:56 pm
Hello!
I just want to say I adore you! You and Bethany are my favorite to watch over all the shows! I would LOVE to be in your “group”…(I do not have the money like you, but just to have a fun friend is its weight in GOLD!)
Your apartment is gorgeous; my favorite is the color palettes of each room. Brad and you did a great job! And I understand how your cast mates get their opinion, but it is YOUR house and well your family love it and that is what matters.
Oh….the next time Mario gives you smack, (I know you can handle yourself and I realize that is why Bobby stays back) but Bobby darling, smack Mario back, grab your girl and say “Let’s go darling you do not need to endure this”…
Happy Mother’s Day, Jill. xoxo

Your house is gorgeous, I love the bedroom. I think you should have a auction……….the winner gets one weekend in your home!! I will sleep on the floor!!
Anyhow……great idea for the magazine autographs….I am going to go to the store and buy one so I can give it to my sister for xmas next year!! You oght to tell people to include a dollar for the autograph to put towards your daughters charity. hmmmmmmmm
April 22nd, 2009 at 7:28 pm
It was so rude not to let brad take Photos ….its so RUDE and kinda like plagiarism
April 22nd, 2009 at 7:24 pm
Jill, you’re awesome. GO LONG ISLAND!!
April 22nd, 2009 at 6:47 pm
I love the show and love love love the Traditional Home spread on your great looking apartment. If I could figure out a way to fold up an envelope large enough for you to mail an autographed magazine AND BRAD back to me I would do it (HA HA). My home could definitely use the “Brad touch”. Could you please post your address somewhere so that I can mail a magazine to you for an autograph. Thanks..
April 21st, 2009 at 8:38 pm
Jill,
Congrats on the magazine spread ..I LOVE the apartment…and I adore Brad…I can see why you have him as your designer!
April 21st, 2009 at 8:22 pm
Got the magazine last week, and your apartment was more beautiful in the photos than on the show.
Can relate to Ally’s disease, I have Psoriatic, Reactive Arthritis, and some spondylarthropies that go along with; I can empathize.
Wish you all well!
April 21st, 2009 at 8:20 pm
I think it’s gorgeous. I can’t wait to get the magazine in the mail.
By the way, you look fantastic in that Luca Luca dress, you look about 25 in that photo. Rock it girl.
April 21st, 2009 at 5:11 pm
The show’s photography made the apartment look garish. But the spread in the magazine was beautiful. I am a nurse and work the night shift with a large group, and we all watch the show. The reviews for the spread were oohs and aahs. The consensus is that the show did not do the remodel justice.
April 21st, 2009 at 1:19 pm
Love your apartment! GORGEOUS!! Hey…where are the pics of Bethenney’s apartment re-do??
April 21st, 2009 at 11:36 am
My mom thinks you and her were seperated at birth…. and i think your amazing!!!!!
April 20th, 2009 at 10:19 pm
Sweetheart, you’d better start addressing the rumors. My spies at Bravo tell me you’re calling in and trying to give them editing orders regarding the shows and the reunion.
I know that you’re a control freak, but it’s hard to believe they would give you a producer’s credit, much less allow you to make all the editing decisions.
We know you run Zarin Fabrics with an iron hand, but now you are trying to take over the Bravo network too ?
Such aggressive ambition !
April 20th, 2009 at 5:17 pm
The apartment looks stunning, so different from the show’s photography.
And you are only 36? Oy vey, just a baby!
April 20th, 2009 at 1:13 pm

I just adore you and your family so much.You guys are definetly one-of-a-kind genuine caring people.I wish I were in NY I would go meet you. You are the # 1 Housewife of all time!!! Keep keepin it real,thats what makes you so special.
lot’s of luv n hugzzzzz,
April 20th, 2009 at 12:52 pm
your apartment looks different in pics than on t.v. The curtains look so much nicer and look a shade lighter.
April 20th, 2009 at 11:48 am
Tried to vote on your wardrobe but could not find it…November 30th! Terrific birth date! Winston Churchill and other illustrious people plus my 2 year old grandson Noah.
I would love to know the birth dates of the others on the show, especially Marona- if there are any Scorpios in there, watch out! Not good for the fun loving, very strong but free wheeling, Sag. I did hear LuAnn say she was a Taurus once. That’s not you but not that bad.
April 20th, 2009 at 10:50 am
The apartment looks beautiful, a little too busy for me. But who cares what we think, you live there.
April 20th, 2009 at 10:15 am
Your penthouse looks so Serene, Refreshing, Airy and Elegant. The pics are terrific. Especially the family photo–love it! I’m dashing out to snap up the May ’09 issue of Traditional Home which I will cherish for years to come!
April 20th, 2009 at 10:08 am
My daughter and I love watching the show especially anything Jill. She is graduating college this May and wants to be a “connect-ah” like you!
April 19th, 2009 at 11:43 pm
Jill
I realy appreciate how your apt looks in these photos compared to the way it appeared on the show!! All that natural light w/your color palate looks so relaxing and inviting!! I LOVE the chandelier in Ally’s room and her cieling for that matter…..Congratulations on the cover of Traditional Home!! I hope you are all enjoying your new pad!!
April 19th, 2009 at 10:59 pm
if i sent the mag to you, would it be possible to get all three ofyou to sign the family portrait??
April 19th, 2009 at 11:20 pm
We would be happy to! Love jill
April 19th, 2009 at 9:41 pm
i get this mag delivered every month and LOVED your piece. I was SO excited to see it. Love the family pix too…..great job again, Jill.
April 19th, 2009 at 11:19 pm
Thank you! Tell Traditional Home! Jill
April 19th, 2009 at 8:41 pm
Beautiful! It looks so fresh!
April 19th, 2009 at 1:06 pm
