How you know if you're the 'Real' deal: Meet possible "Housewives" star Stacie Turner
Stacie Turner.
How do you know if Bravo is real serious about making you a "Real" Housewife? If they follow you overseas. That's why D.C. real estate agent Stacie Turner is looking like a contender to star in the upcoming "Real Housewives of Washington." A source close to the production tells us Turner and her husband recently flew to Paris to see his musician brother perform -- with the show's camera crew on their trail. Turner, an African American mom of two, would add a dose of diversity: Though Bravo has not finalized the cast, the other local women whom producers have focused on recently are all white. She could also add a needed bit of political intrigue: Husband Jason Turner recently left his job with the city's Department of Parks and Recreation amid the upheaval surrounding interim director Ximena Hartsock. The family lives in a 16th Street Heights mansion that was a church before they renovated it (subject of a 2002 Post Sunday magazine story).

I attended Howard University with Stacie and she is the real deal, really smart, Harvard MBA, sincere, great friend, classy, and always genuine. As an Atlanta resident, I cannot WAIT to see a Real Housewives show that I can be proud of, because the one we have is a trainwreck.

With just ONE sista on the DC housewifes, I won't be watching!

I certainly hope that the show enlists a 'cast' that is representative of the city. But it is NOT a 'chocolate' city. Merely 50% of the population is African American or black.

Unfortunately, she is not much to look at. I am guessing that the housewives in other cities will probably be more attractive than the DC ones. The people around here tend to be pretty ugly overall. Sad.

About time! Despite what some may believe, D.C. is CHOCOLATE CITY!!! The season finale for ATL Housewives received the highest rating in a Bravo series. That should Bravo something! If Turner is apart of the cast, congratulations to her and it may be worth watching for me.
