OH BABE!

April 17, 2011 the First Ladies of Staten Island have their own show. That's right boys and girls Mob Wives Series Premiere tonight on VH1. Renee, Carla, Drita and Karen are considered the most powerful women on TV.
Carla Facciolo is from Bergen Beach, Brooklyn, her father went away when she was young and she got involved with girls like Renee, girls who came from the Family. She married a stock broker who is in jail for a boiler room scandal. She is the mother of twins and a juice company rep, taking care of it all while her husband is away.
Drita D'avanzo is the wife of Lee D’avanzo, who the feds think is the leader of a Bonanno and Colombo farm team. Her husband is serving time in prison for his 2nd bank robbery. Drita is raising two young girls on her own. She is Albanian, not Italian. Her never give up attitude has her currently developing her own line of cosmetics.
And last but not least we have the "RAT"....or shall we say the Rat's daughter. Karen Gravano is the daughter of Sammy “The Bull” Gravano, a mobster who turned on the Family to help take down John Gotti and the Gambino crime family. Karen originally stayed in New York when her family relocated to Arizona, eventually met up with them. She is back and ready to face the ladies. She is a successful business woman who has written a book about her life.
No matter how these ladies are portrayed, this show will surely entertain. Having dated that "lifestyle" I can assure you there will be some interesting twists, turns and random knocks at the door to surprise everyone! TUNE IN!
