The Real Housewives of New York star takes our Q&A!

What's your wallpaper on your phone and/or computer?

My daughter, Kingsley, when she was just a year old. Its so cute to see her so little.

When you walk into a bar, what do you typically order?

A Blue Moon! I love beer! Especially with the orange in the ice-cold glass — it's the best!

What's the one word you are guilty of using too often?

"Pretty." LOL I can't help it — "pretty" just works for almost everything: people, places and things.

What is the last thing you searched for on Google?

Spider-Man birthday gifts for little girls. One of my girlfriends' daughters is having a Spider-Man themed party. You go, girl! Why not?

Who is the last person that called or texted you?

My husband, Josh, just called; he is done with his work drinks and on to his work dinner. We had a quick catchup about our day.

What was the last awkward situation you were in and how did you handle it?

I was invited to a party that was an intimate get-together — or so I thought. I arrived in jeans and a T-shirt, no makeup, to a full red carpet and press! UGH. I wanted to crawl in a hole!!

When is the last time you went to a theater?

Last weekend with the kids, Sponge Bob for the third time with the kids, this time 3D. I love the movies!

MAD MEN. I am obsessed. Don Draper is so dreamy and I love Betty's "housewife" style.

And what is your TV guilty pleasure?

Hoarders! I just can't seem to turn it off. I am invested and really need to see the after.

All ELVIS all the time, always and forever.

What's your favorite day of the year?

I am going to go with April 21st. My birthday. It's spring, I usually have a girls dinner with close friends. It's great to catch up and feel loved!

What was your first online screen name?

Kristen Carroll, my lovely maiden name ;)

What's your favorite emoji?
