Blonde Charity Mafia: It's Like The Hills . . . in Washington, DC
LA isn't the only breeding ground for blond socialites with friendship issues: Lifetime has picked up the Hills-like "docu-series" titled Blonde Charity Mafia which will follow the lives of three of Washington, DC's young, elite ladies. Citizen came across the casting call listing back in February, and it looks like the showrunners finally found their talent: Katherine Kennedy (pictured above), Krista Johnson, and Sophie Pyle.
The Washington Post's TV columnist Lisa de Moraes writes about the show:
Lifetime gushed in its announcement that its hot blond chicks' "events are always a hot ticket; their dating lives are gossiped about; and sometimes merely their simple daily activities are chatter within the DC social set. Throwing these glamorous soirees every week, they are the young personalities of Georgetown and the darlings of the city's most fashionable clubs and hottest restaurants." . . . Then, remembering this is Lifetime and not Fuse, [Lifetime's senior vice president for reality programming Jessica Samet] added, "This absorbing series will pull the curtain back on the fragility of friendship among the beautiful, wealthy and powerful."
The lives of the young and wealthy seem to be endlessly fascinating for American audiences, and while I don't like every show like this, I must confess that I'm curious about this one. There's a kind of glamour to DC (sorta?), but it's vastly different than that of those glittery Hills.
Will you tune in for a Hills-ish show set in DC?
