All weekend, I’ve been humming “Don’t Be Tardy To The Party.” This is the ultimate sign that I am a “Real Housewives of Atlanta” addict. So I was excited to see that BravoTV.com has posted the images of the ladies that photographer Derek Blanks shot a few weeks back. NeNe Leakes creative director for the shoot, picked a pair of alter egos for each woman to embody. Originally, she wanted Kim Zolciak to pose as a black woman, but Kim wasn’t so into that idea. “It would have required me to be painted black, which is SO insensitive,” Kim wrote on her blog. “And NeNe is mad that I won’t do something that would not only disrespect her but an entire race of people?! Not happening.” Instead, Kim posed for the photo above as a Stepford Wife and a rich wife. Only, Kim was surprised to see the words “rich wife” replaced with “mistress” and swears on her blog that she never agreed to that. “Who in the hell would agree to be a mistress??” she wrote. “I wish these ladies would stop acting like I am the only one who has dated someone in a dissolving marriage.”
After the jump, see all the photos.
NeNe Leakes as the stripper and the classy lady. “I had the opportunity to direct NeNe,” said Kandi. “In the first scene I gave her a little direction, but in the second one she needed nooo direction. It was all natural.”
Lisa Wu Hartwell as the Girl Scout and the bad girl. “I did like my photo,” Lisa said. “I can’t relate to pushing the girl scout down and taking her cookies, that is totally not me. I was like, I would be the one defending the girl scout!”
Sheree Whitfield as the robber and the victim. Speaking in third person, she said, “I totally see a little of Sheree in both of the characters, the glam girl and the bad ass girl. It is absolutely beautiful, I loved it.”
Kandi Buruss as the drunk driver and pedestrian. “In the very beginning I chose an alter ego for Kandi to be a bride and a groom, I wanted her to be a man and a woman,” explained NeNe. “And Kandi called me up and said, ‘I think I want to go a little bit deeper, because my family was involved in a car accident.’ I really appreciated what she decided to do.”

I so want to get to Atlanta and take part of all the rage of twin photos! I would want one with me as a girl and a boy.
and Kim is a such a wench—she is always saying she is black on the inside, why not take the pic? drama queen!

I’m waiting for the “Real Lesbian Wives of the Husbands of LA.” Would explode male viewership. The shark-jump is fast approaching.

I could not find anywhere to post, so this was the best option. I was looking on twitter, and one of the news feeds came up. Apparently AJ Jewell died last night. He is the fiance of Real Housewife, Kandi. My heart goes out to her and loved ones. So sad! Here is the link http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/10/03/aj-jewell-exfiance-of-atl_n_308579.html

Ok this is it. I watch the show every week I even tape so I can watch again. But I need to say Kim you are White trash.Your hair is ugly,and you can not sing at all.You dress like a tramp,and you are a lyer. Give it up already.And as for your childern.You are setting a very bad example for them. You can’t even come close to Lisa and NeNE.They are the best ones on the show. And as for Shere Sorry girl no one thinks you are all that.Your style sucks,your face looks like you must of pasts gas, and are smelling your self.
Kandi not sure of yet.
All the best to Lisa & NeNe. With out you two the show would be nothing. Sorry the season final, is coming will miss you.Can’t wait for next season.

Nene, eventually Bravo fans saw your true spirit come out progressively through the show. You tried to blame the Bravo show editors for making you look like a villain. No Nene – the fact is Bravo fans saw what you truly are = a Lumpy Moose who is a Rotten Atlanta Peach to the core! Regarding assault: Kim including anyone who is has been physically assaulted by you should have had you arrested. You are a hypocrite, you were a victim of violence yet were and are are violent toward others, verbally and physically. You are a poor representative of victims, even though Twisted Hearts and the Heel the Soul- Stiletto Woman is rooted in good intentions, you tarnish it all due to your violent bulling behavior on the the show. Bravo executives, please kick her ugly ass mooseface off the show! Nene in negotiations with her own show = disgusting! ***Listen to NeNe verbal comments about the first time she saw her possible father… she called him a ‘Mess’ before pulling over the car to meet him. Obviously he gonna hear that comment reviewing the episode, Nene has no respect or class not even for a disabled elderly possible father. It just keeps getting worse the more you think about Nene.

I guess you must be blind,and can’t read between the lines. Kim is all I said and more.And on the last episode of the show, Sitting there with her fake hair and fake boobs,please give me a break. She is so false, it comes right through the screen. If anyone is Lumpy it is KIm. And if you think that Big PaPa is going to marry you,wake up you big fake blond bimbo.He is useing you just as you are using him.
And for Sheree, still looks like she let gas and is still smelling her self. And to take all the credit for what Dweit sorry spelled wrong.did for her, All she did was get on the phone and set up partying .It looked like she did not want to be there. If it was,nt for him ,that show would of been as bad as the first. Sorry girl come down to earth, there was maybe 4 nice things.And yes Lisa line is much more in line for what we are looking for.
Good luck to NeNe and Lisa. And NeNe if you will have your own show. I will be watching for you girl.
