Okay, so not many of you know about my earlier post about Bravo's Real Housewives series coming to DC. I have an update on the DC part of the popular series. The Real Housewives of DC was set to start filming Friday September 18, 2009 BUT there aren't any women of "color" included in the cast!!!!!!!! WHAT?!? You mean to tell me that with the two most powerful women in this city being African American women there were NO African American, Latina, Native American, Asian women to add to the lineup??? I am sooo disappointed in this I mean dang...did anyone place a call to Michelle Obama, or Mrs. Fenty (wife of DC mayor Adrian Fenty)????? Now, of course with DC being so small the casting of the series was open to women in the surrounding areas of Maryland and Virginia. STILL not ONE woman of color!!! NOT ONE African American woman....ugh!!!
So far at least 3 women have been outted to be Real Housewives of DC cast members: Lynda Erkiletian (ownere of The Artist Agency, DC modeling firm), Mary Amons (wife of capitalist Rich Amons) Michaele Salahi (wife of Fauquier County winery owner Tareq Salahi). That is 3 out of the 5....Hopefully they'll place some color/chocolate in there somewhere to represent CHOCOLATE CITY!!! I was excited when I found out my favorite tv series was coming to DC BUT not so much when I heard of the lack of diversity they were watering the city down with!!!!
BLOGGERS WILL WE WATCH??? WHAT DO WE THINK??

Ok that saddens me alot! thats crazy why wouldn't be any women of color....i guess i won't be watching this at all. I like to see women who represent me a little better! Sorry bravo can't support this one.
I know sunshine!!! That makes me so mad. I mean with all the judges, law makers, business owners we have in DC that are African American, they couldn't get two??? THAT'S WACK!!! LOL you're my most faithful follower LOL**
Are you effing kidding me!? I knew that they would be going to DC, but I expected it to be like another Atlanta because there are sooo many influential people of color in DC. They should be effing ashamed of themselves. Not to mention most influential White people from DC are not going to be about divulging their dirt on tv. This could be boring!
BORING IS WHAT IT SHOULDN'T BE!!! NOT HERE!!! I'm so mad because DC is sooo mixed, the housewives should represent that. I'd be lying to say i'm not gonna watch BUT I wanted DC to be my fave CLEARLY it's not me Bravo is trying to entertain with this one...Welcome to my followers list Island, APPRECIATE IT HUNNI!!!
