Let me preempt this by saying the following post will probably offend some people. I will warn you if you don't understand the French in the title you may want to skip over this because it's not for you. That being said:
The Real Housewives of Atlanta: Preview Special
I would like to take a moment to shout out my partner in crime. You know who you are :). This individual alerted me to the preview to the latest edition to the Housewives franchise based in Atlanta. Bravo snuck this in at midnight last night after a repeat of that yawnfest known as Shear Genius.
I personally get super excited when any cast of people on a show is predominately Black and its not on BET or TVOne. Sidenote: When the cast of Real World Hollywood had 4 minorities for all of 2 weeks I nearly died of happiness.
Anyways by midnight I am pretty deep into my bottle of red wine when the show begins. Within the first three lines one of the wives declares "Atlanta is NEW money". And the show goes downhill from there.
Admittedly, Bravo has cast all previous seasons with tacky, opulent, over the top, new money women who live in both California and New York and I have laughed and enjoyed every moment. However, I did not enjoy this half hour one bit.
Let's begin with the obvious..Kim Zoliciak the only White women on this season is CLEARLY being pimped. Her segment consisted of her introducing herself and her two young daughters. She mentions that her current boyfriend wants to remain off camera so she will be calling him "Big Papa" WHHHHAATTT???!!! and more importantly WHY? In her finest TV moment, Kim calls the local Cadillac dealership, demands that they have a fully loaded Escalade ready for purchase then drags her kids (from a previous realtionship) to pick it up. She writes a $65,000 check and then declares that she "doesn't know if she got a fair price or not". Turns to her girls in the backseat and states "We are lucky! Thanks Big Papa!" Thanks Kim for adding two more career gold diggers to the future of America. Moving on...
Nene Leakes. Bless her heart, I actually think she is a wonderful person with a good heart and a loving marriage. But, this chick is seriously Hood Fab or maybe she is just country? I don't know but she is all the bad qualities of Ramona and Alex from NYC. Bad hair, loud mouth, social climber and a husband who is more into looks then she is. He nicely told her to reasses the potatoes that she ordered at dinner. Nene listen to your boo..carbs def need to be eaten in moderation.
DeShawn Snow. This is where things got ugly. DeShawn states she knows she was destined for something great as she shows off her custom built mansion. She is married to the an NBA player and is a mother of 3. However, DeShawn doesn't actually do anything. I did a little research and she "runs" her husband's non-profit organization which means she damn sure doesn't do anything. DeShawn's segment consisted of her hiring her house staff, which was to include a governess, nanny, chef, estate manger, head maid, and maid staff. Which leads me to ask what is so great that YOU are doing? SMH
In summary, this show features those women and you know who they are. The ones who made it to EVERY football and basketball game in college. Even the away games. The ones who when it snowed and campus was shut down were seen sneaking away from the football dorm at odd hours. The ones who wanted to mush you or give you the stank face if you came within 10 feet of an athlete when you were clearly trying to get to the bar. They have their own TV show.
They should have never given ya'll N&**S Money!! Yep I said that.

Well shit when you break it down like that I can't even argue with you. They are soooooo your classic golddigger tricks that hated on us b/c we had SO much other shit going on. (and we really were just trying to get to the bar to a drink and not holla at their baller "jumpoffs") Those are those chics just grown up! DAAAAAMMMMNNNN!
