Real Housewife of Orange County, Alexis Bellino Credit Bravo.

In this week's episode of the Real Housewives of Orange County, Gretchen throws a  "tanning party" to lighten up the mood--be warned:  drawers will drop and bubbies will come out to play.

Also, in the OC's ever-quest for youthfulness, Lynne and her daughter attend a dual cosmetic surgery consultation.

Plus, Meet Alexis.  Episode Two will introduce viewers to the newest Orange County housewife, Alexis Bellino.

A few facts:

Alexis is a 32-year-old, stay-at-home mom, from Newport Coast.  She is married to Jim (an "entrepreneur" who has worked with Jeana Keough in the past--Jeana recommended her for the show) with three children: James, 3, Melania, 2, and Mackenna, 2.  She describes herself as a traditional housewife (she also works out and has a "detailed" beauty routine) and is a church-going Christian.

The OC Register quotes Alexis' impression of being on the show:

There's definitely an initiation just being the new person coming in," she said. "I do feel like there's hesitation from certain individuals in the group. As the new girl, they just have their guard completely up. But I am who I am. So they're going to have to like me or handle me or tolerate me long enough while I'm doing the functions.

Mother-Daughter Cosmetic Surgery Last year, Lynne's daughter got a BMW and this year, she'll get a nose job.

 Revisit Episode One: Gretchen and Tamra get reacquainted.   If this was only episode one, what are we in for?   How much worse can it get between Tamra and Gretchen?  That is not a rhetorical question.
