Real Housewives Heads to D.C.

It was only a matter of time. Bravo announced today that its hit guilty pleasure franchise, The Real Housewives, is heading to Washington, D.C. for its next season. With successful seasons in Orange County, California, New York City, Atlanta, and New Jersey under its belt, the show has had its share of wealthy pseudo-socialites bickering, neglecting their commitments to child rearing, and laughing in the face of the recession. So what’s in store for D.C.? According to a press release, the network aims to cast women fluent in both politics and fashion: "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.”
