A source tells us that Washington-based realtor Stacie Turner has been tapped to participate in DC’s installment of the Bravo reality series The Real Housewives. Asked to comment, Turner said she’s “not at liberty to talk about it,” and Bravo communications director Rachelle Savoia toed the party line, writing in an e-mail, “Bravo has not confirmed the cast of the show yet.”
Still, film crews have been spotted around town, including The Washingtonian’s Style Setters party last week. The Washington Post reported today that cameras were spotted at the Inn at Little Washington the same night, taping Fauquier County winery wife Michaele Salahi and husband Tareq.
The network issued a press release in May announcing a Washington spin-off of the show, saying execs would be casting “personalities who are among Washington DC’s influential players, cultural connoisseurs, fashion sophisticates, and philanthropic leaders.”
Turner, a native Washingtonian and successful Sotheby’s real estate agent, seems to fit the bill. According to her own Web site, Turner graduated from Howard University in 1990 and received an MBA from Harvard in 1996. In addition to being a mayoral appointee and commissioner on the National Capital Planning Commission, she’s part of the board of directors for Southeastern University and a member of Delta Sigma Theta sorority. Tuner also works with Jack & Jill of America, an African-American organization that trains children to be leaders. Turner lives in Northwest DC with her husband, two children, and a chocolate lab, and “enjoys travel, water sports, and family.” More>> Capital Comment Blog | News & Politics | Party Photos

High-heeled shoes in addition to increasing height,a more important factor is increasing attractive.High-heeled shoes make a woman stride reduced,because the focus move back,legs straight on the appropriate and cause the buttocks contract, the chests protrude,so that a woman’s standing and walking postures are all rich in charm.

The luxury and comfort of UGG? Australia proved to be a perfect fit for the high-end footwear world and soon Nordstrom had become the destination for UGG? Australia. The media reach expanded into more and more high-end magazine titles. The business continued to grow steadily as UGG? Australia reached beyond the beaches of California to New York City - and beyond.

Amen, Amen!! An African American woman with a husband , career, kids and education. Please do us African Americans proud because the Real Housewives of Atlanta, GA was trailer park and ghetto. Everyone lost there homes, are broke, and never seem have any common sense accept Khandi.

The term "housewives" was just a term used for marketing purposes, to play off of the success of ABC’s "Desperate Housewives." In fact, most of the women on the shows in the various cities have jobs/careers.

I’m confused how she can be a housewife when she actually works. Isn’t the concept of the show to highlight women who don’t work and just live off their husbands’ ridiculous salaries?

Gone are the robust bureaus for the Los Angeles Times, Newhouse News, and other once-healthy news organizations. Digital media bureaus now are taking their places with as many reporters and plenty of swagger.
