SUMMARY:The Real Housewives of The North Pole
DESCRIPTION:Hell in a Handbag’s season kicks off this winter with the world premiere of The Real Housewives of The North Pole. The North Pole is in trouble. Santa and all the North Pole power players are indicted for fraud and it’s up to the women to try and save their families from financial ruin. But how? Years of wealth and privilege have left them with a lot of designer clothes and jewelry\, but little else. \nLuckily\, Andy Cohen (David Lipschutz*) and the Bravo network swoop in to save the day with the perfect showcase for those with no talent or skills – reality television! Join Mrs. Ruth Claus (Honey West)\, Mrs. Frosty The Snowman (Robert Williams*)\, Suzy Snowflake (Britain Shutters)\, Clarice (Anna Rose Steinmeyer) and Gladys Dasher (David Cerda*)\, as they claw their way to instant fame. The show also features  Terry McCarthy*\, Taylor Owen Mercado\, and Kelly Opalko. \nDirected by Tommy Bullington
