Tasteful Friends: Inside Jenna Lyons’ Eclectic Soho Loft

She has the shelving system I covet. It’s designed by Dieter Rams.

It’s very chic - I like it a lot.

Is she one of those chic lesbians?

Omg

Ok, I’m not going to be snarky or lie - I love it, and I’m jealous.

R1 I have a wall of Vitsoe shelving in my music room, for storing vinyl. They’re still in production and aren’t outrageously priced - you just measure the wall, snap a few photos, describe what you’d like to store/display, and they come up with a configuration for you. I love them.

Another toxic, drama loving attention seeker with a collection of crystals on their coffee table, cause y'know; peace, prosperity, love.

See also Madonna.

Her bathroom, omg.

Amazing place. She is fucking insufferable.

R9 Yes. It’s a cool apartment but she should stop staying “like literally” and “I’m obsessed”.

Tell me, does she like unlacquered brass?

She’s… definitely giving neurotic New Yorker.

R11 And THAT is who I want to see on RHONY. A neurotic, self-important, intimidating RICH person. Bethenny must be shaking in her boots.

I don’t know her.

I used to know people like that. They wear me out. They're always so "on". I need a drink now.

She lost me when she said she “started brass fixtures.” Like, brass has always been a thing. Just because you hadn’t seen it before, doesn’t mean you invented it. Disingenuous and egoistical to the max, aka perfect for Housewives!

*egotistical

Category is: Chic but neurotic Soft Butch

Birds of a feather

Carole Radziwill wishes she was this effortless and chic. The category is Carole, but make it cooler, richer and younger.

How did Fran Lebowitz become the ONLY fashion inspiration for younger dykes?

After the video finished and before I even read the comments, I said out loud "she's insufferable." My dog agreed.

I love her. Cannot believe that she is almost 55.

This is quirky gorgeousness writ large. But the shoe closet was horrifying. It appears to surpass Imelda Marcos in self-indulgent extravagance, a disgrace to any culture. "Let them eat cake" came to mind. Karma, too. I'd suggest selling off the shoes and donating the money to an environmental org trying to save the planet.

R23 Agree, it's beautiful, unique, elegant and yet warm and cozy. I too, however, detect a bit of insecurity. So very, very many shoes and clothes. Why is that??

Pray tell, how does one use that bathroom with floor to ceiling windows and no coverings? Is Ms. Lyons an exhibitionist?

Love the drawing to the right of the fireplace that appears at first to be emphatic note on a bulletin board. These are the inspired, unexpected elements that make the space sing, imo.

Looks like a living room furnished by someone who went to junk stores and bought whatever was available. And she’s a pretentious bore. “I’m literally, like, obsessed.” Oh dear.

Where did this entitled obnoxious cunt get all the money for this loft and its furnishings? I gave up watching after she said “hate” for the twelfth time in under two minutes?

R28 She was the creative director of J. Crew for over a decade. She has big money.

So who’s buying the Jenna lamp? I’ve already preordered mine!

She's exhausting but the loft is very tasteful.

I love it. She doesn’t care about wall art. Surprised she hasn’t looked into some of the fiber installations. She has room.

Well isn’t she just a bundle of neuroses.

This apartment is FABULOUS and I’m sensing a lot of Bitter Bettys in this thread. Jealousy is an unflattering color on everyone, girls!

She should have her eclecticity shut off.

R34 fuck off Jenna.

I couldn't finish the tour, I had to turn on captioning, then regretted it.

Oof. I miss Ramona already. She brings me no joy.

If she’s so rich and successful, why would she agree to be a real housewife? She must be desperado for some attention.

Rumor has it Lyons is a massive coke fiend, to the point it ruined her career. I wonder how obvious it will be on camera. She seems sedated more than anything in this vid.

She suffers from some pretty rough congenital illness

[quote] She suffered from incontinentia pigmenti, a genetic disorder which scarred her skin, caused her hair to fall out in patches, and caused her teeth to be malformed, which is the reason she wears dentures.[4]

But like a Fairy Take, Ms Lyon emerges a Swan!

ADHD... all over the place.

Really quite beautiful

Channeling the late Ms Sontag

The RHONY thing is slumming, no?

Sure but she needs cash/attention/a place to hawk her lashes and lamps.

She has the most awful speaking voice - she talks too fast and she swallows her words. No DICTION.

^ is it too late for her to take voice/ elocution lessons?

From a first sweep around the main room, I thought otherwise but quite like it. For her, not me. The colors, the details are a little girly for me, but I do like a lot of the luxury of simple practicality in some of the.mire fundamental elements: the kitchen design, the large room with the grid of oversized sofas, the large windows and volume of the space, the materials, the.bathroom...all great because none is really time/trend-specific and will hold up well over time.

She has the confidence of her taste and it comes together well and pleases her. There's nothing wild or very risky, but nothing unsure either. Well done. Even if I don't like aspects and details of it, she did well with the space and it seems to work for her.

R30 I know you’re joking but the lamp is actually quite beautiful. If money were no object, I’d consider it.

Don't mind if I do...live in this Loft. She can leave 'tho. She's toooo hectic in the talking department for me...get me my earplugs.

I don’t know how someone with that kind of frenetic energy has able to lead a company. I can’t imagine sitting through a meeting with her.

[quote]all great because none is really time/trend-specific and will hold up well over time.

That pink velvet sectional screams 2019.

Love her and I’m looking forward to seeing her on RHONY. So chic.

I LOVE it! Some parts are a bit too cluttered, but I works. The problem with too many things all over the place is cleaning off dust and keeping the place free of even more clutter. Once you start with one corner of cool stuff that’s cool, yet nevertheless, clutter, it’s hard to stop.

Her closets are divine and I love her bathroom and kitchen.

And yes, she’s a bit whacky, but I like her. She also looks like a normal, middle aged woman who is aging VERY well, instead of looking like those ghouls from the Real Housewives of ____________ (insert city or country). Very attractive, older woman with style, who manages to not look like a desperate, cheap whore.

She’s already been on a few reality shows so she obviously likes the attention. At least she’s got an interesting career and a sense of humor.

Is she dating a man or a woman nowadays?

I liked it too from what I could see. She jumped around so much, it was hard to get a coherent picture. Love the bathroom. The separate toilet was depressing. Reminded me of toilets in a dive bar.

I haven't watched RHONY in a long time. I'll have to start watching again...it'll be interesting with Jenna Lyons.

I love it, absolutely love it. S he looks amazing, too.

Andy has a new blow buddy.

She seems excessively affected. I can see why she's no longer married. Can you imagine being married to that mannish thing? Her vocal fry would cut marble.

She always seemed pretty interesting, but then hired models who looked like a less pretty version of herself.

I don't watch Real Housewives but I don't get it because she's not a housewife, she's a big time career woman.

She looks different from these other Housewife gals, and why is Mr Cohen so pale and pallid?

Throwback: with her ex, Courtney Crangi, 2013

She's exhausting. I can't imagine being around her for more than five minutes.

Lacking in choices

She has worked in fashion for decades. I would imagine a lot of the clothes/shies are designer gifts.

Imagine being in a relationship with all that HAIR!

Textbook irritating New Yorker;

Jewish

Coke fiend

Eating disorder

Son called Beckett (would bet my last dollar she's not read a single thing by his namesake, but hey she sounds like a cool mom!)

SoHo artist's studio now her apartment

Name drops interior designers

Probably has a bigger dick than fellow jewess Andy.

Tragic fail when she struggles to explain the rationale behind the title for the lamp she 'designed'.

That's right bitch, just sign your name to someone else's idea.

But Homegirl does know how to Put It Together

Classic case of BDF.

I’m not sure some of the posters above understand what they’re saying but dislike her/women and throw out the usual nonsense. She doesn’t have vocal fry, nor does she overuse “like” or “obsessed”.

Are you people fucking stupid or what?

Yeth. I mean Yes.

R54 This is so fucking stupid. “Her sofa is so last year!” What? It’s a fucking couch, not a purse, and it’s tasteful and looks comfortable. Not all of us breathlessly follow the latest trends, and a good couch can and should last a lifetime.

^whooosh!

Eclectic Soho Loft= very expensive

She seems very gangly. She needs to stick with flats and leave the heels to the short gals.

As the proud owner of a chenille sofa in moss green, I feel the “what if I don’t want a pink couch anymore? Everything revolves around it” energy in my soul.

Going bold is a lot of fun, but you gotta be able to commit hunny.

Fun fact: she wears a full set of dentures, due to a congenital disorder that results in the loss of eyelashes, eyebrows and teeth.

She’s probably boring as fuck but is desperate to sell whatever it is she wants to sell so she told Bravo that if they’d cast her in their show, she’d rope in her fancy friends to appear on-camera.

So now we wait to see which fancy friends will show up and which, if any, will be entertaining to watch.

R80, you knew it was the right purchase. I’m kicking myself for passing on a sun-faded emerald green sectional I spied at The Brown Elephant.

R82: I know isn’t it amazing. She must have a rather tough childhood and teenage years before all the latest medical interventions gave her a new life

Oops r84 is meant for r81

That apartment is amazing. I work with the design firm Meyer Davis that did her place. It’s beautiful. Yeah she was a bit much but so what she was proud of her place and probably a bit nervous and wanted to show it in the best possible light.

Can’t wait to see her on RHONY.

She simultaneously annoys and intrigues me. I'm kinda turned on.

Why not have burnished brass, though? It's brass for God's sake.

Her choice in marble is unique. I dig it. The issue with shoes I do not understand.

One of the nicest apartments I've seen. Usually as nice as the apartment or house is in the video I can't imagine myself enjoying it, but this one I really liked. I must have elite taste...

The only bizarre thing I couldn't stand was the toilet. What a necrotic choice, but it looks cool.

ahhhh! neurotic

Necrotic toilets are highly prized next pre-pre WWSS23 season.

This apartment is stunning, a high space two bathrooms and one quite large and nice open closets. Only negative too many shoes and clothes, time in life to pare down. Great area and nice furniture and huge tub. I'm sure this apt is worth millions and millions.

I never watched this Real Housewives show. Do housewives have to be married/have a partner or can they be single?

Yes, I think divorced is good enough for the "real" "housewives"...

I don't know her.

Ok, how do you take a bath when you have windows with no curtains? If the lights are on, you’re on stage.

[quote]Ok, how do you take a bath when you have windows with no curtains?

Exactly the same way as if you did have curtains.

R93 Was there ever a lesbian in the Real Housewives cast?

R97 Jenna will be the first.

R98 She's not a lesbian. I was asking in general. Thanks for the answer.

This is exactly how I imaging Meghan M would give a house tour; "so even though this marble wasn't trendy at the time, I was like, this is cool, I want it!"

"Oh look, here's a ring, just lying here, no idea I left it there"

"My rescue dog can do whatever he wants, just look at him rip up tissues! We're such a cool, relaxed household".

R99 I believe Jenna does identify as a lesbian nowadays. She left her husband for a woman over a decade ago and never looked back (despite that relationship not working out either). She exclusively dates women - usually stylish, femme, creative types. In my book she’s the first queer housewife.

Actually, I take that back. Julia from RHOM is married to tennis legend Martina Navratilova, and they were the first same sex couple featured across the franchise. Jenna will be the second openly gay housewife, although Braunwyn and Noella from RHOC both identify as bi.

R102 Brandi Glanville also “identifies” as bi (see: the Denise Richards incident) but I think more than anything she’s just an opportunistic hussy.

R103 or in the words of the hotel manager on White Lotus, “that is one fast slut.”

I could only take about 10 seconds of this bitch's unbearable personality so I didn't get to see the apartment.

Her show seems to be imploding before it even begins. One of her fellow housewives has already been let go for being anti-Semitic.

Oh, nvm, she was fired for being Zionist/Pro-Israel, thus was on the receiving end of Anti-Semitism. A mess!

R101 Thanks. Didn't know she identifies as gay now. Does Navratilova's wife as well? I know she was with men before.

If you work in the industry, you must have some inside info on more folks, no?

Which industry are we referring to?

Whichever industry that poster is in.

R109 Fashion.

I'm gonna tune in to watch this terrible show for Lyons participation

Me too R112. I planned to skip it until her.

Ooooh, she’s rich hunny.
