Meet the ‘Real Housewives of DC’

The Real Housewives of D.C.: Mary Amons (Jaime Windon), Stacie Turner (family photo), Catherine Ommanney (Jaime Windon), Lynda Erkiletian (Matthew Worden/Washingtonian), Michaele Salahi (Jaime Windon).

Bravo has recently released the names of the cast members of the new series The Real Housewives of D.C.

Who are they?

Let’s see.. we have Michaele Salahi who is known as the White House gatecrasher.  But before the whole gatecrashing scandal, Salahi and her husband Tareq were known for their flamboyant polo matches.  Sources are already reporting that Salahi will be the “Danielle Staub” of the series.

Catherine Ashley Ommanney, the British interior designer is married to Charles Ommanney, a prize winning journalist.  Ommanney has two daughters and was known for allegedly making out with Prince Harry in 2006.

Mary Schmidt Amons is the daughter of telecom exec and the wife of a telecom guy, Rich Amons.  Amons is the mother of a 23-year-old, and she really isn’t known for anything else, for now.

Does anyone have any political connections?

Yup, there’s Stacie Scott Turner, the wife of Jason Turner who worked in Adrian Fenty’s administration but left amid upheaval in the parks department.  Turner, a mother of two, is a Howard University grad and a Harvard MBA.  She worked in marketing at BET and other companies before becoming a real estate agent with Long & Foster.

Lynda Erkiletian, a divorced mother of four, is the owner of T.H.E. Artist Agency, a Georgetown modeling firm that says it represents 500 models and stylists.

Looks like an interesting group.  Can’t wait to see what kind of drama they can stir up in the nation’s capital! The series is set to premier on Thursday, Aug. 5 at 9 p.m. ET.
