She By Sheree Fashion Show

"Seven Figure" Sheree Whitfield finally shows a fashion line.

May 13, 2009

A fashion show with fashions might sound fairly standard, but fans of the Atlanta Housewives know that such a feat proved to be a major challenge for Sheree Whitfield on the show’s first season.

The divorced diva successfully pulled off a do-over without major incident Tuesday night at Atlanta’s W Hotel. “I am on cloud nine! I am very, very pleased,” Whitfield said after receiving a standing ovation as she pranced down the runway in a form-fitting black satin cocktail dress and fuchsia pumps.

Debuting her long-anticipated She By Shereé fall clothing collection with fellow costars Kim Zolciak, Lisa Wu Hartwell, NeNe Leakes, and new girl Kandi Burruss(a singer-songwriter from platinum-selling ’90s R&B; girl group Xscape) looking on from the front row gave Whitfield the chance to redeem herself — and for PEOPLE to catch up with Atlanta’s ladies.

“It’s all about sexiness and celebrating a woman’s curves,” Whitfield said of her collection of form-fitting dresses and casual wear festooned with rhinestones and fur. “When a woman puts on my clothes I want her to feel sexy and classy.”

Even rival Leakes admitted that it was a change from Whitfield’s infamous clothes-free “fashion viewing” featured in the show’s first season. “I liked that she had a jumpsuit in the collection. That is very in, very happening. She had a lot of variety: dresses, furs, gowns and even a jogging suit,” Leakes told PEOPLE. “It went from nothing coming down the runway to something.”

Cast members are remaining tight-lipped about what to expect from a new season, only promising to deliver plenty of drama. Kim Zolciak hinted that her singing career is still on track (even if her friendship with Leakes is not. “It is what it is,” she said of their relationship). “I am so happy with my music career,” Zolciak said, “I’m really excited about it. Everyone’s going to die when they see what happens.”

What about the cigarette smoking? “I still smoke all day,” she said.

The overly active Hartwell expressed happiness for Whitfield, telling PEOPLE, “I love to see anyone out there pursuing their dream.” And she remains as busy as every, pursuing dreams of her own with a fashion line in the works as well as a book about domestic violence. “Expect more drama for sure,” she says of Atlanta’s season 2, “but lots of entertaining moments. We share a lot of personal stories that will touch people.”

Added NeNe’s “gay boyfriend” Dwight Eubanks: “It is so over the top that we’re going to be the number one reality show on TV!”

This story has been floating around the internet for awhile

“America's favorite Atlanta Housewives” star Dwight Eubanks has the blogosphere in an uproar with news that he is getting a wife of his own. The flamboyant hairstylist who was first introduced as NeNe Leakes best friend and confidante on the premiere season has confirmed exclusively to ESSENCE.com that he is engaged to a woman.

Although a date has not been set, Dwight's bride-to-be has no qualms about his appreciation for both sexes. And it hasn’t stopped other women from pursuing the hairstylist and divo extraordinaire for romantic liaisons.

“I get more play from women than men," says Dwight, who recently celebrated his fiftieth birthday with a circus theme and male and female models to escort him through the room. "I can’t get a date with a man, but the women are knocking my doors down. They just love you when you can be real about who you are.”

And this isn’t Dwight’s first time planning to get hitched to the fairer sex, quieting speculation that his heterosexual relationship is a publicity stunt to garner buzz for his upcoming Bravo reality show.

“I was engaged two years ago to a prominent lawyer in the city,” he shares.

In Atlanta, a city known for its high population of gay and rumored down low Black men, keeping it real remains an important part of a relationship. Dwight shares he is completely honest with his intended about his sexuality.

“It’s really interesting because the men are so standoffish, but the women don’t care," says Dwight. "Most of the men around here are gay, lying to their wives, slipping and dipping and all that, but it is what it is. You have to enjoy life, and that’s what I am doing.”

When did down-low men become the new black? Ask these divas:

Lisa Marie Presley

Terry McMillan

and Star Jones...to name a few.

AND SPEAKING OF SHEREE……………

from MediaTakeOut…..

“March 17, 2009. MediaTakeOut.com just caught wind of an EXPLOSIVE piece of news. We spoke to a person close to the filming of the Bravo show the Real Housewives Of Atlanta and they claims that a FIST FIGHT broke out on the set.
Well – it wasn’t actually a fist fight. Sheree Whitfield just GOT PUNCHED!!!
According to MediaTakeOut.com’s snitch, Sheree was upset that an Atlanta promoter named Tony Shorter was publicizing an event using her name – which she claimed, she never authorized. The confrontation started off civil then –all of a sudden - things went left. The insider explains, “[Tony] called Sheree a broke b*tch and Sheree [retaliated by] calling him a [DERROGATORY WORD FOR A GAY PERSON].”
And that’s where the details get a little fuzzy. According to our snitch, a split second after Sheree said those fateful words – a fist came out of nowhere and allegedly punched Sheree in her arm – HARD! The insider told MediaTakeOut.com, “I can’t say who did what to whom, but Sheree was hurt … I think she’s going to try and sue someone and get some money.”
Dang Sheree … you shouldn’t be calling anyone out there name … But we ain’t down with no one beatin’ on you…”

Sheree? Sheree? Anyone?

 

Now, don’t get us wrong. Sheree Whitfield may be in New York.  She may be doing a “viewing” (what does that word make  you think of)  But she is not on the schedule for New York Fashion Week!

Could this be an oversight on Fern Mallis’ part?  Surely the fabulous Sheree wouldn’t lie! 

What do you call Fashion Week with no fashion?  As Dwight Eubanks, the sixth housewife would say “Nothing”.

Real Housewives of Atlanta

The Real Housewives of Atlanta: Equal Opportunity Snark

The next series in Bravo TV's "Real Housewives" franchise is about to hit the airwaves.  The The Real Housewives of Atlanta  will debut this fall.

These nouveau riche women represent the old adage of "money don't change you".  They are still in the 'hood, the hood just costs $3.5 mil.  As the wives and about to be ex-wives of NBA and NFL players, they make the The Real Housewives of Orange County  look like food stamp recipients.  

The Real Housewives of New York aren't really new money.

Without going into what happens to most  ex-jocks  when the sun sets on the career, these women better be prepared for the viciousness of the snark.  The Lauri/Gina /George warfare will look tame in comparison. 

Watch What Happens.
