There has been much more drama since the first season and Lisa is still her happy-go-lucky self. I chatted with Lisa as she was boarding a plane on her way out of Los Angeles. Read our first interview with Lisa Wu Hartwell<\/a> along with her family pictures.<\/i><\/p>\n

ASIANCE: Tell us about your clothing line that you started! <\/h3>\n

Lisa:<\/b> It\u2019s called Closet Freak. Yeah it\u2019s a provocative name. It\u2019s a name and attention grabber. Everyone is like what does that mean? My husband and myself, we created the line to instill confidence in women worldwide that women feel they don\u2019t need to dress provocatively to get attention and to really instill confidence. Sometimes you see these girls on the street and they\u2019re pouring out of their clothes and they have so much more to offer than exposing themselves. There are some things that simply should be left for the bedroom. That\u2019s why we came up with name, Closet Freak.<\/p>\n

ASIANCE: Any celebrities that you would love to dress? <\/h3>\n

Lisa:<\/b> It\u2019s flirty, sexy but also very sophisticated. Any woman that fits that description, who likes a little bit of sexiness to it but at the same time, they\u2019re sophisticated and classy. It doesn\u2019t have to be just celebrities. It\u2019s for the everyday woman. It really is. We have pieces that can transcend from day time to evening. <\/p>\n

Hhmmmm..If you must ask me.
\nI love Cameron Diaz. I love her style. I love Rihanna. I think she\u2019s a trend setter. Beyonce. The list goes on and on. I\u2019d be honored for any of them to want to wear Closet Freak. Part of the proceeds goes to the Big Heart Foundation. It is all for a good cause.<\/p>\n

<\/object><\/p>\n

ASIANCE: Are you and Ed still trying to have another baby? <\/h3>\n

Lisa:<\/b> Well we\u2019re having fun trying! (laughs) I\u2019m not pregnant y et but it\u2019s funny, I get that question on the street all the time, \u201cAre you pregnant yet?\u201d We\u2019re having fun trying but whenever God blesses us with a child. We would like a little girl but as long as the child is healthy that is all that matters.<\/p>\n

ASIANCE: Did you pick out names for a girl? <\/h3>\n

Lisa:<\/b> No. I would just be besides myself because I have 3 boys. Every time they were like, \u201cIt\u2019s a boy!\u201d so if I had a girl, I don\u2019t know. I\u2019ll probably buy all kinds of books. I\u2019m not sure.<\/p>\n

\n

\nI\u2019m giving you a compliment and you attack me? What is that? Are there some types of insecurity issues?\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Lisa Wu Hartwell<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

ASIANCE: EJ is so cute his season. <\/h3>\n

Lisa:<\/b> He is so funny. He\u2019s a smart kid. Last year he was a baby, so when people see him now you can see his expressions. Right now, he\u2019s in full effect. He\u2019s very physical and strong for his age.<\/p>\n

ASIANCE: Is Ed going to put him in football? <\/h3>\n

Lisa:<\/b> One day he woke up and said, \u201cFootball, football, football.\u201d He gets into the positions and like he\u2019s catching in the background. He\u2019s very animated and I think he just got it from his father. It\u2019s genetics. If he wants to play football, he can play football. I\u2019m going to try to get him into baseball, basketball, football, soccer. <\/p>\n

He\u2019s too funny. Everyone loves EJ. They want more EJ.<\/p>\n

ASIANCE: Who is your favorite Housewife? <\/h3>\n

Lisa:<\/b> Of course myself! (laughs) I like Jill from New York. I think Bethenny is cool. I like Kelly. I\u2019ve met them so they see pretty cool to me. I like Caroline from Jersey. She seems pretty cool even though I haven\u2019t had a chance to meet her. I even go for the underdog. I like Danielle. I felt sorry for her. Sometimes things happen in your past that you have no control over. The fact that you have to deal with it and people keep bringing it back up\u2026my heart went out to her. Danielle seems pretty cool.<\/p>\n

For Orange County, Gretchen seems like a riot. Tamara was very cool when we first met her. <\/p>\n

ASIANCE: Is Ed getting back into football?<\/h3>\n

Lisa:<\/b> I don\u2019t want to give any story lines away but I will say that he is transitioning. He\u2019s trying out and I don\u2019t want to give any story lines away. You have to keep watching<\/p>\n

ASIANCE: Is the drama going to get even better? <\/h3>\n

Lisa:<\/b> You have not seen anything yet. Hold onto the edge of your seats. It\u2019s going to continue.<\/p>\n

ASIANCE: Have you and Kim made up yet? <\/h3>\n

Lisa:<\/b> Um No..(laughs). There is a lot going on. There are a lot of interviews and a lot of press that we do together. There a lot of things that happens behind the scenes. So what you are seeing on television is very realistic. A lot of people think there is staged drama but it really isn\u2019t. You have 5 females who are very opinionated and vocal about how they feel. So of course we\u2019re going to butt heads sometimes. <\/p>\n

ASIANCE: Do you keep in touch with Deshawn (Snow)at all? <\/h3>\n

Lisa:<\/b> Deshawn was actually Nene\u2019s friend. She was never actually any of the other girls\u2019 friends. She never reached out to any of us. We have been invited to a few functions of hers but we were never really close. <\/p>\n

\nI\u2019ve met Michael Vick a few times and I\u2019ve met his fianc\u00e9. I believe everyone deserves a second chance.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Lisa Wu Hartwell<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

ASIANCE: Are you and Nene getting along with Tania? <\/h3>\n

Lisa:<\/b> I don\u2019t really have a problem with her but she came off a little hard..I\u2019m giving you a compliment and you attack me? What is that? Are there some types of insecurity issues? I walk in giving you compliments and you attack me. That is the only issue I\u2019ve had with her. It\u2019s not like an ongoing issue. I\u2019ve seen her since then and we are fine. I just don\u2019t think that is necessary when someone is trying to compliment you. <\/p>\n

ASIANCE: What do you think of the Michael Vick situation? <\/h3>\n

Lisa:<\/b> I\u2019ve met Michael Vick a few times and I\u2019ve met his fianc\u00e9. I believe everyone deserves a second chance. We all make mistakes. It just so happens that we\u2019re living our lives in front of so many people that we just don\u2019t have the liberty to take it back because the media gets hold of it and you\u2019re this horrible person. Everyday there are things that people do everyday which they would love to apologize for. So I believe everyone deserves a second chance.<\/p>\n

ASIANCE: Thanks again Lisa! Always great to catch up with you.<\/h3>\n

Lisa:<\/b> Thanks for having me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
