Mobbed Up

January 6, 2012 by WendyB

For weeks, I’ve been hyp-mo-tized by the New Year’s Eve-themed promo for the second season of the reality show Mob Wives.

Ads for the various wives-themed reality shows usually show scenes from an episode, followed by the female stars striking poses in jewel-tone dresses. I was fascinated by the way this ad had the mob wives officially acting, rather than acting in the reality-TV kind of way. It was like Sex and the City meets the Joe Pesci character from Goodfellas. I loved the ad so much that I watched the first episode of the season on Sunday and THANK GOD I DID because I was introduced to “Big Ang.”

When Big Ang appeared at the birthday party of one of the main wives, I thought she was a female impersonator hired to entertain the guests. Drag queens around the world should lay their wigs at Big Ang’s feet in tribute because she out-cross-dresses all of them. The always highlarious Michael K of Dlisted has more to say about her here.

I’ll be tuning in again this week!

    We got hooked on the Wives last year, when I found them purely by chance on a boring Saturday afternoon, when there was a marathon on TV. Drita is my idol, as everyone knows, but Big Ang is the most superb cross-dressing hunk of . . . person I’ve ever seen.

      Hunk of person = excellent description!

      She’s majestic, like a mountain range.
