Michelle FentyBrendan Hoffman/Getty ImagesWashington wife Michelle Fenty may be the most obvious choice for the Housewives cast. As an attorney and wife of current D.C. Mayor Adrian Fenty, Michelle would lead the ensemble with her flair for fashion. Washingtonian magazine named her one of D.C.'s 10 Best Dressed Women. Her dazzling attire would be nice eye candy for each episode.

Cora Masters BarryROBERT GIROUX/AFP/Getty ImagesCora Masters Barry is the fourth ex-wife of former D.C. Mayor Marion Barry. The couple split in 2003 after Marion was charged with yet another drug offense, but Cora still gets our vote for the Housewives gig. She saw him through his tumultuous second mayorship and remains heavily involved in charity work—a virtual prerequisite for Washington socialite status.

Nichole ThomasGetty ImagesNichole Thomas played basketball at Syracuse University before marrying Etan Thomas of the Washington Wizards. And since her husband is both an athlete and politically active poet, we're willing to bet that Nichole's interests are just as diverse. Perfect for compelling TV, without all the drama.

Though he has ceded much of the spotlight to his wife, U.S. Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, this "househusband" is still making waves with his frequent speaking engagements and charity work. As king of controversy, he's sure to spice up the cast.
