5 Real Ladies

My new reason to live: The Real Housewives of Atlanta.  Thank you once again Bravo.  You always bring your A game.

I honestly don’t know which housewife I like the best.  Here’s a breakdown of the ‘Hotlanta’ Hot Mamma’s:

Keeps it Real 24/7

Ne Ne tells it like it is and isn’t afraid to speak her mind.  Sure she doesn’t get along with all the ladies all the time (one minute it’s Sheree the next it’s Kim… I can’t keep up!) but at least she keeps it interesting… and entertaining.  Low point: Last week’s episode.  Ne Ne found out the man she always thought was her father, really wasn’t.  High Point:  Calling out Kim on her BS country songs… what are frienemy’s for?

The Next Dolly Parton

Kim, the wanna be country crooner who is dating mystery man Big Poppa.  First off, my birthday is October 4th.  I would love it if you through me a surprise party complete with Louis Vuitton bag.  Second off, how do you get your hair to do whatever it is that it does?  If there is a hole in the ozone over Atlanta we know who to blame.  High Point: Being the mediator between Ne Ne and Sheree.  Low Point: Anytime she tries to sing.  Sorry Kim, I’m not much of a country fan.

Fashionista

Sheree knows how to have a good time and throw an excellent party… just make sure you’re on the guest list.  This aspiring fashion maven is serious about her work.  She’s even gone so far as to request the help of Project Runway Season 3 finalist Mychael Knight (yes… it’s like The Jetson’s meet The Flintston’s for adults).  High Point: She has her own personal shoe shopper.  Low Point:  The “launch” party for her fashion line (um, you need to show the clothes honey.  And real fashion designers can sew on their own so you have no one to blame but yourself).

The Sane One

Lisa, the NFL wife.  Mom to two adorable kids and wife to an amazing man (he made her chicken soup… HOMEMADE chicken soup.  Fellas take note).  She has her own realty business, manages a household and still has enough time to look fabulous.  Gold star.  Low Point: N/A  High Point: Staying away (for the most part) from the dramz the other ladies seem to always bring.

Who?

DeShawn.  Can’t say I know too much about this one.  I feel like she’s never talked about.  DeShawn.  It’s time to get involved.  No, not in another charity or philanthropy organization, in a cat fight.  You need some more camera time girl!  Time to get paid!  High Point:  N/A  Low Point: Kim and Sheree decide to skip out on the BBQ without so much as a phone call!  Sounds like they were asking for trouble.

Even though we are left with only one more episode in season 1, I have high hopes that the next time we see these five lovely ladies all of our fond memories will come rushing back.  In a time when most of us can’t afford to watch late night QVC ( 3 easy payments… who can resist?) it’s nice to have a group of friends to live vicariously through.  Thanks Lisa, Kim, DeShawn, Ne Ne and Sheree for just being, you.  Don’t ever stop… unless the cameras stop rolling.  Then, you can stop if you want.

So until next season Hotlanta Hot Mamma’s, keep it real.
