The REAL HOUSEWIVES OF ATLANTA - OMG!

Ok, so Bravo has had a running series, the Real Housewives, first of Orange County, then New York and now Atlanta.

The series airs at 10:00 pm EST on Tuesdays and like most cable shows reairs numerous times during the week.

This year the cast centers around black women instead of the previous snow white women, though they did throw in one token white woman for diversity sake.

There is Kim, the only white woman, who is sugically enhanced in the chest, a mother of two and dating a married man who of course wishes to remain anonymous. Kim is the epitomy of today's culture of appearence and reality being totally different. Kim drives a new cadillac escalade courtesy of her sugar daddy and lives in a modest 2-story townhouse. FYI, high rollers in Atlanta do not live in a townhouse. Kim is a chain smoker who proclaims she is country singer though friends who have known her for three years have never heard her sing. Basically, she is a 40 year old loser, possibly a former stripper, who will soon live the gutter as her looks are already failing and rich Atlanta men are not going to pay to keep a 45 year old smelly smoker who has lost her looks. Trust me, Altanta has plenty of beautiful and not so bright twenty somethings.

Then we have Nene, a former stripper who too is kept by a man who couldn't do any better. Nene too is living beyond her means, she has a nice home but by no means is rich nor does she live in any of Atlanta's exclusive communities. Nene is loud and not so bright and as her triple d's sag some more her present husband will no doubt leave her in the gutter with Kim.

Then we have DeShawn, wife of NBA player, Eric Snow. She comes across as the most likeable and thats not hard in this group. She also comes across of a bit of a gold digger needing a staff of cooks and cleaners, etc. when she only runs and seemlingly only part time a charity. She also comes across as quite ditzy and she definatly doesn't work to keep her body tight. I suspect once Eric retires and has to spend time with her and as she gains another 20 pounds, he will start to look elsewhere. I will say they are atleast not pretenders, they live in a private gated golf community and after over 10 years in the NBA, I am sure Eric has made a few bucks.

Then we have Sheree who is the former wife of Atlanta Falcon lineman, Bob Whitfield. Sheree told me all I needed to know when she said of her impending divorce from Bob, "All I want is seven figures, I don't want the KIDS to suffer", give me a break you gold diggin bitch! You don't want your own lifestyle to suffer. She comes across like a real uppity, grumpy bitch. She is another one of these women that her looks began to fade ten years ago and her hopes of latching onto another baller are slim and none. She keeps saying how all the men want her but I haven't seen one man even look her way.

Then we have Lisa, who pretends to be a big executive in residential real estate. I have never even heard of her firm. She is the exwife of Keith Sweat and is now married to Ed Hartwell a now out of football, former linebacker BUST for the Atlanta Falcons. She is still attractive and probably has atleast one more rich entertainer/baller in her before her looks leave her. She is not overly annoying but has been the least featured of the women too thus far.

Overall, I have learned to actually feel bad for the celebrities because these women they end up with are just trash. I guess the men use them for sex and the women use them for money.

It's worth a watch.
