If you are anything like any woman I know (and you are) which means that Bravo reality TV (and its weekend reruns) rule your whole existence and are worried that BCM will just not cut the DC reality TV mustard this summer, THEN this is going to be THE MOST EXCITING NEWS YOU WILL READ ALL DAY:

Bravo continues to expand its popular Real Housewives franchise. The latest installment? The Real Housewives of D.C., which will follow female power players in the nation’s capital. Bravo is currently casting for the potential series.
“We’re tapping personalities who are among Washington D.C.’s influential players, cultural connoisseurs, fashion sophisticates and philanthropic leaders – the people who rub elbows with the most prominent people in the country and easily move in the city’s diverse political and social circles,” said Bravo Media executive VP and GM Frances Berwick.
The Real Housewives franchise originated with The Real Housewives of Orange County in 2006, and led to successful spinoffs in New York, Atlanta and most recently New Jersey.
Bravo has tapped Bethesda, Maryland based Half Yard Productions to develop the project.
Fingers crossed it is as hilarious as Atlanta edition.
WHO SHOULD BE IN IT?
WHO SHOULD NOT BE IN IT?
WOULD YOU GET MARRIED JUST SO YOU COULD BE IN IT?
(a sort of logical question)
and so many more things to say.
WHO SHOULD BE IN IT
WHO SHOULD NOT BE IN IT
WOULD YOU GET MARRIED JUST SO YOU COULD BE IN IT.
MY ANSWERS TO ALL THESE QUESTIONS ARE TOO LONG AND TOO DIVERSE AND TOO BITCHY TO GET INTO IN THIS VENUE. I HAVE TO GO SECRET-BLOG ABOUT THIS NOW.

this show can do no wrong.
svetlana should be in it obviously. it does not matter that she is neither a house or a wife. that has not hindered the casting in any of the other editions.
May 26, 2009 at 1:03 pmi have so many fine fine ladies to nominate…
May 26, 2009 at 1:31 pmyawn. if you want something tight lemme suggest the following:
a) real housewives of Potomac
b) real housewives of P.G. County
this should give some of those ever-less important republican wives something to do. maybe we could get mickey cantor’s wife on there so he’d have to do damage control instead of being an assbag up on the hill all the time.
May 26, 2009 at 2:02 pmi always thought the real housewives of anacostia would be nailbiting edge-of-your-seat entertainment.
May 26, 2009 at 2:39 pmDC is sure whoring itself lately (BCM, The Real World, and now this)
