BRAVO’s Newest OC Housewife Boasts Impressive Media Background

How’s this for a mixed media message? Lydia McLaughlin, the newest co-star of BRAVO’s original franchise hit The Real Housewives of Orange County, co-owns quarterly magazine Beverly Hills Lifestyle magazine. And it was via that zip, 90210, that she came to the Season 8 opportunity rather than Dana Point’s 92624, where she lives with her husband and two young children.

Maybe this is old hat for Real Housewives fans, but it was news to us. There’s other fun info in Orange County Register reporter Richard Chang’s Q&A, including McLaughlin’s equally impressive Fourth Estate family tree:

Lydia is the granddaughter of Canadian media mogul Geoff Stirling, founder of Stirling Communications International.
