Are these ladies pictured below the cast of Bravo TV’s “The Real Housewives of DC.” Carol Joyant thinks so

Social butterfly Carol Joyant is claiming to know the identities of the lovely ladies selected to participate in “The real Housewives of DC.” Joyant said the newest addition to Bravo’s reality show franchise will feature the crème-de-la-crème of the capital district’s socialites. And although Joyant did say that that her list may not be 100% accurate, these were the names she’s heard countless times regarding the chosen ones.

“The Real Housewives of DC” is currently filming in the capital district as well as MTV’s “The Real World.”
Mai Abdo: Mother of two who was cited by Washingtonian magazine as one of Washington’s best dressed women. Abdo is the Director of Leasing for Abdo Development company, a business owned by her husband. For Washingtonian, Mai recalled her worst fashion disaster: “I showed up overdressed for an event that was black tie optional. I was wearing a long, colorful Missoni frock. The other women were wearing black, knee-length, conservative St. John suits. I hate invitations that are vague like that.”

Mary Schmidt Amons: Mother of five children and founder of the “District Sample Sale.” Amons revealed her beauty secrets on ThatMomInc.com saying: “Besides botox? It’s rid me of migraines, so it’s a medical necessity now! Staying active, playing tennis, laughing with my kids, eating healthy (raw, when I can), drinking good wine (a must!), wearing proper sunscreen, getting away with my husband, and most importantly, nurturing my inner spirit, as it is directly reflected on the outside.”

Lynda Erkiletian: She is described by Washington Examiner columnist Jeff Dufour as owning Washington’s “top modeling agency.” Her Georgetown-based office boasts that it represents “500 models and stylists.” Her lengthy client list includes fabulous names such as Tiffany and Co., Ralph Lauren, Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus in addition to Vanity Fair, Elle and Allure magazines. Erkiletian “believes in giving back to the community” and supports many local charitable events.

Michaela Salahi: The tall, blond, former fashion model is said be a major polo fan. The Washington Post’s Amy Argetsinger and Roxanne Roberts recently report that her husband, Tareq, a polo match organizer and winery owner, is behind a controversial lawsuit against another polo group, to the dismay of the venerable U.S. Polo Association.

Lisa Wernick Spies: (No Photo) Early on made it loud and clear she was “dying” to be on a reality show. She is a republican fundraiser married to Charlie Spies, a lawyer who was the chief financial officer of Mitt Romney’s failed presidential campaign. She is the contact for an October “Day On Capitol Hill” for women only, sponsored by the Republican Jewish Coalition, which promises “a full day to visit with Members of Congress in our nation’s capital.” The day caps with a dinner at Morton’s steakhouse, where the “men are welcome to join.”
