Real Housewives of Richmond

I’m sure you’re all familiar with the Real Housewives empire on Bravo. If you’re not, you are missing a fabulous, entertaining train wreck each week. Start watching it. And then call me and we can gab about it while eating Doritos and drinking Diet Coke.

So tell me this: if Bravo were to head down here, who should the housewives be?

    My wife watches this show. I don’t, but it’s on enough for me to pick out a pattern. It’s guided, if not scripted (like The Hills). It also makes me want to shoot out the TV.

  2. Valerie Catrow on said:

    I think it goes without saying that a Ukrop would have to be on there.

  3. bopst on said:

    Diana F. Cantor, wife of Rep. Eric I. Cantor and managing director of the subsidiary, Virginia Private Bank and Trust (as well as a member of Media General’s board of directors) would be a shoe in.

  4. Valerie Catrow on said:

    OMG that’s perfect.

    There needs to be a dark horse, too. Someone the rest of the ladies can exclude a lot.

    Dirt Woman

  6. Heather on said:

    In the vein of the “DirtWoman” post, the lovely ladies of Godfrey’s brunch.

    I wouldn’t know. The only women I know (or want to know) are real women that work for a living, not “Real” women who don’t do anything but endlessly spend their man’s money and justify it by joining the other cows in the Junior League. Blow up your TV. Throw away the paper.

  8. mwmclaren on said:

    Pam Reynolds would own that…

  9. Valerie Catrow on said:

    Now, now, let’s not get mean about the Junior League. They do some good in this town. They can’t *all* be cows.

  10. bopst on said:

    Everyone is a cow to somebody

  11. LA on said:

    Sounds like someone is a little jealous that he/she doesn’t get to endlessly spend all his/her man’s money. Also, do working women not watch TV or read the paper? I don’t understand your comment, KJB.

  12. Valerie Catrow on said:

    Come to think of it, all of the women I know who belong to the Junior League have quite successful and demanding jobs.

  13. Julia on said:

    val,

    come to work with me one day and people watch. the far west end is practically bleeding with women who are insane and have more money than God. ironically, i’ve seen diana cantor here.

  14. Matt on said:

    I think the grouchy foreign lady that owns (works at) the Smoothie King in Carytown should be the show’s dark horse. She’s married, right?

  15. Valerie on said:

    You don’t even have to be married to be on the show. And most of them work anyway. So the title lies, basically.

  16. Jeni WIllenzik on said:

    I think Diana Cantor (wife of House Minority Whip, Eric Cantor) would be an awesome choice. She is very pretty, she works for a private equity firm, and really works for a living. Her kids are well behaved and would be great on the show. It would be interesting to have a politician’s family on the show for a change.

  17. H to the Izzo on said:

    Clearly Pamela Reynolds, a Ukrop of some sort (I vote the owner of Quirk–Katie?), the wife of the new VCU president and/or the UR president, Sabrina Squire, Ellen Robertson, any of the women on the Style Weekly Power List.

    Val, I think you need a poll on this. I will have to do some thinking. This could make for a real article!

  18. Valerie Catrow on said:

    Maya Smart would be an interesting addition, too. She’s a successful writer and married to Shaka Smart, VCU’s men’s basketball coach.

    I hate to say it but am proud at the same time…I would be the “dark horse” I’m 33 look 23 my daughter turned 14 yesterday and still lives with her dad in Cali I just moved here 6 at most months ago after an almost tragic car accident. My life has been filled with ups and downs celebrities to nobodies dating Gavin newsom to me bringin. Home the bacon. I now have my knight in shining armour and I am not only attractive (at 30s u know what u got and what u don’t) but am super funny smart and kind as well as extremely bitchy if you mess with me or my kin. Came and grew up in SF ALL THE WAY TO VA!!!! That’s just the start….yeah u would be entertained
