“The “Real Housewives” reality show franchise is either a must-see, a secret guilty pleasure or a sure sign of the downfall of civilization as we know it.
There are “The Real Housewives” of Beverly Hills, Orange County, Atlanta, New York, New Jersey and Westchester. Wait. Westchester? Yes, Westchester, as in out by LAX-Westchester.
This send-up of the Bravo TV franchise was produced for the Westchester Lutheran school by KCET producer Karen Foshay Kolesnikow and some of the mothers of students there.
It takes some direct shots at all of the high drama from those "other" housewives with one exception: these situations don't even pretend to be based in reality.
This scripted 20-minute video was made for fun and as a fundraiser for the school. Parents had to pay $50 to view the spoof of the hyper-local rivalries.
"It was really fun. Well, we're fans of the show," said Cindy Widmer, a Westchester housewife.
Since there is drinking in the spoof send-up -- as there is in all of the "housewives" shows, the spoof received mixed reviews from the Lutheran congregation.
The director of the Lutheran school said she didn't know anything about the project until it was finished.
Westchester can now be known as the home of the "Not-So-Real Housewives" and they can be found at a website near you.
