Probably, but for some reason I hope it works out well for them. I'm not a big fan, but it seems to mean so much to her, I guess I can't help wanting people to get what they truly want.

I love to see people have their dreams fulfilled. But being a model is one of those things that it is difficult to work toward. Fortunately, Alex is tall and thin enough but her face is difficult to shoot unless at the right angle and she's too old.

Honestly, by looking at their website it is fairly clear that they are trying anything to capitalize on their 15 minutes of fame. I don't blame them, but unless Alex comes across as more likeable, I don't see that happening. She doesn't have that "it" factor where people relate to her or want to be like her. Anything can happen in reality tv, though.

She won't get into Vogue, of course, but she will likely find some work, and get some decent spreads in regional smaller distribution type magazines with designers who have some money for promotion, and can use the publicity of someone on a TV show. She will never be a real model it will always be Alex the "Real Housewife," but there will be some paying jobs, just not big name wide distribution stuff. I have some experience with that type of thing in a past life. She won't get rich off it, but it'll be some money to add to whatever else she is doing, and probably some great pictures to have around and look back on. She does love fashion and has shown bravery, and made enough good choices that there will be designers who respect that, and of course want the publicity, so she doesn't necessarily need to be likable to everyone to book some decent jobs in smaller pubs.

I meant, if I had as much money as the Morgans, someone like Sonja wouldn't even be on my radar.

In fact, she wouldn't be on my radar now.

The reason she had to file for bankruptcy was because she was suppose to produce a film with John Travolta's company, but backed out and got sued. The judgement was for $7M.

Did all of this happen to coincide with her DWI? If so, it all makes sense.

No. The DWI was last June. The lawsuit was long before that; so was her divorce. Production halted for the movie in 2006. And she filed for bankruptcy last November.

IF the lawsuit was long before that, why did she file for bankruptcy just last November? Did it get appealed a number of times?
