- Get Ready for The Real Housewives of D.C.!
- Real Wives of DC is underway, and the Jersey girls are back for Season 2.
It's official. Flip a table and wave an American flag - The Real Housewives of D.C. is a go, and The Real Housewives of New Jersey is back for a second season! Production for both series is currently underway, and you can expect the Jersey girls and D.C. wives to premiere in 2010.
So, a few deets on The Real Housewives of D.C. We scouted the D.C. area to find the most alluring residents, the real movers and shakers, ladies who rocked power suits, cougars in the cutthroat political arena ... and you're going to love who we found. We can't spill the dirt on the cast just yet, but we CAN tell you that the cast doesn't include the Real First Lady, Michelle Obama. (Keep your fingers crossed for Season 2.)
We're also very excited to have The Real Housewives of New Jersey back for a second season, to see what restaurants they can destroy! Plus we have a lot of questions for the N.J. ladies. For instance - does Cop Without A Badge have a sequel? Does Danielle go by yet another name? Does Jacqueline have her baby on camera? Does Teresa ever get lost in that mansion of hers? Is Caroline's dog trained to kill? Guess we'll have to wait and see...

They should have the real housewives of Dallas, Texas cause everything is bigger in Texas and have Kim from Atlanta move there ; I think she would fit in well. Also housewives of Miami, Florida and have some Latina housewives.That Miami social show was a tease.

I agree with some of you above that the Real Housewives needs to be filmed in Miami (can't forget the Sunshine State!). It would make an awesome locale and there would be some real crazy and wild personalities. Other interesting places in Florida to make a Housewives series would be Tampa, West Palm, and Key West.

In reference to the post that read "I love all the housewive shows, ATL, NJ, Orange County can you please tell me why the housewives of DC picture is that of a woman with a rag tied around her head?
What's up with that(um)."
I as a woman would love to be associated with "Rosie the Riviter" It was and still is women like her that make this world go round. If women depended on men for everything then there would be no pride in being a woman. She is the example that when men aren't here to do the job we as women can.

I agree that Bravo should do a "Housewives" from the midwest. There are still some families earning big bucks in Detroit, MI and the surrounding suburbs. And y'all KNOW we've had our share of drama lately!! Am I the only one with "Don't Be Tardy For The Party" stuck in their head?!? LOL!!

I'm really happy to hear this. I'm also really really happy that New Jersey is coming back. I just hope is doesn't turn in a huge ego thing like New York did I was so tired of hearing about Bethanney Bakes, True Faith Jewelry, Zarin Fabrics, Frog or Owl Jewelry, books, whatever else. I felt like I was watching one of those infomercials that you find on TV early in the morning. NY got so boring. Even Atlanta has lost a lot of it's edge. Edit out the boring stuff Bravo, please.

They need to be sure to have atleast 2 African American Women in the Real Housewives of D.C. African Americans make up a huge amount of the population here, so it would be nice to be represented. They should be sure to have a housewife of Latino descent as well.

I totally agree with just about everyone, where are the housewives of the Midwest? I am partial to Dallas, but Chicago, or Denver would do. Can't wait for the fifth season OC! I agree that we get enough politics on the news, I am not to excited about DC, however I will keep an open mind.

We want a show about the housewives of New Orleans, Louisiana. This would be the show the viewers will take to heart and to a new level. There are so many things about New Orleans, that only the housewives of New Orleans can show and tell. These things will educate people across the United States about the struggle and continuing education of New Orleans. The culture and rebuilding is a story that needs to be seen through the eyes and hearts of the housewives of New Orleans. New Orleans housewives, this is the show to do, probably will be rated 1 across this country.

Yes, Bravo really needs to come to New Orleans to see true southern drama. If you want real life Tennessee Williams drama not punk'd melodrama. Come see the reality of New Orleans and it's patron. It does not get any "REAL"er than life in New Orleans right now. This city would have a cross over impact to socialites, green building communities, resort developers for the newest and most urban designers, artists, community network programs that want to make real impacts ( we have more open opportunities than can be counted. ) BRAVO COME BE PART OF THIS CITY'S REAL TRANSFORMATION. Help document want real housewives with community involvement can do to illustrate true economic growth not just commericalism.
The Housewives could be Amanda and her husband’s PR crowd that show off the DEEP SOUTH Culture. Housewives like John Besh’s wife, Amanda Perschall, & Mitch Landrieu’s wife. Could highlight New Orleans’ social seasons, Mardi Gras Parades & Balls , Easter at Commander’s, Saint’s Season, French Quarter Parties, Crawfish Season, Christmas on the River with Bonfires, Tarpon Rodeo, Wooden Boat Festival, Audubon Programs.
But also during the week day series, they could highlight New Orleans Restoration Projects, Community Planning Sessions designing parks and greenways. Infrastructure Issues. Then Highlighting the local art community, Architecture Highlights, Church Community Social Programs, etc.

There should seriously be a Real Housewives of NEW ORLEANS!!!!!! I think people have a certain view of New Orleans be it women flashing during Mardi Gras or the city being ultra urban and super political. BUT there are some crazily rich people who live in New Orleans and they live VERY lavish lifestyles along with the fun of "letting the good times roll" NAWLINS STYLE!!!

"...can you please tell me why the housewives of DC picture is that of a woman with a rag tied around her head?
What's up with that(um)."
I'll tell you what's up with that, that woman with the rag tied around her head is Rosie the riveter. It is a peice of art by J. howard miller that depicts the first real working women. These women were tough and worked in dangerous factories while their husbands were away at war (WWII). They prooved to America that women could work too, and shouldn't just have to be housewifes.

I love all the housewive shows, ATL, NJ, Orange County can you please tell me why the housewives of DC picture is that of a woman with a rag tied around her head?What's up with that(um)."
Dear Viewer,
The "woman with a rag tied around her head" is Rosie the Riveter. She was an iconic symbol for feminism during WWII. The fact that "Housewives" is using Rosie probably suggests that the show is going to be a lot about female empowerment or women rising above male oppression. Suggestion. Internet. Google. J. Miller's "We Can Do It!" and Norman Rockwell's "Saturday Evening Post; Rosie the Riveter." Read. Learn.
So, to answer your question: what's up with that? People in advertising being intelligent and merging art and media to make a more powerful impact.
That's what's up.

That "woman with the rag on her head" is Rosie the Riveter--a huge symbol for women in the 1940s when they were first going into the workforce in the place of men that were sent to war. Over the years she's grown to be a nationally recognizable icon for female empowerment. "We can do it!" Now you can too. KNOWLEDGE IS POWER!

I think you all should do a Housewives of Maryland. We are the richest state in the United States so believe me you can find plenty of people who has money and would fit for you're show. Also, why not do the average everyday working woman who's a housewife but has a good job, holding things down for her family. Also, why do it always has to be a housewife that has kids. What about us women who don't have kids but still are wives or girlfriends that work hard to make the money and maintain a nice home. I think you would get more ratings if you did something for the everyday average person. Not always someone who has money. More people in this day & time can relate to the average hard working woman.
