Bad Girl Runway

(Brittany Brower and Sheree Whitfield)

Tonight, Fashion Week fundraiser The Reality of Fashion The Reality of AIDS 2013 brings a pantheon of reality stars to the Altman Building in Chelsea. The gals will don high-end duds to raise $300,000 for AIDS research organization AIDS United. Considering the drama that goes on during most reality TV shows, we thought the event could use a little extra zing—so why not add a reality-TV-competition aspect to the whole shindig? Below, our picks—from a selection of the evening’s reality stars—for who should be sent home first and who should win in this fantasy competition.

Malaysia Pargo
How you know her: VH1’s Basketball Wives L.A.
Why she’d get kicked off: On an episode of Basketball Wives, Malaysia was doing a similar charity runway event and could hardly make it down the 80-foot gangplank. “Can I get a shot of Patron?” she pleaded. Yeah, that’s the right attitude, honey.

Deena Nicole Cortese
How you know her: The Season Three add-on to MTV reality hit Jersey Shore.
Why she’d get kicked off: She was initially rejected by MTV’s Jersey Shore producers when she auditioned for Season One of the show. In this runway competition, looks like she won’t make the cut either.

Alex McCord
How you know her: She’s a former Real Housewives of New York City cast member.
Why she’d get kicked off: Alex is articulate, intelligent and well connected. And she’s hyper-realistic about the nature of reality TV. But she’s also kind of boring.

Tiffany “New York” Pollard
How you know her: Flavor of Love, I Love New York
Why she’d get kicked off: On Flava Flav’s VH1 reality dating show Flavor of Love, “New York” couldn’t get along with anyone. Remember when “Pumkin” spit on her?!

Janice Dickinson
How you know her: Janice is the self-described “first supermodel.”
Why she’d get kicked off: Man, why wouldn’t Janice Dickinson get kicked off our fantasy reality show? She won’t be the first to go, because, let’s get real, her brand of crazy is just too entertaining, but she won’t stick around long either.

Lil’ Kim
How you know her: How could you forget that 1999 purple pasty outfit at the VMAs? Oh, and she was also on Dancing with the Stars in 2009.
Why she’d get kicked off: A fan fave on Dancing with the Stars, she still only managed to come in fifth place. We think she’d fare similarly in our little show.

Brittany Brower
How you know her: Cycle Four of America’s Next Top Model.
Why she’d get kicked off:
She made it to the final three of America’s Next Top Model, so she has plenty of reality-show-competition experience, but her performances during challenges weren’t always perfect, and she had a tendency to clash with fellow contestants.


Sheree Whitfield
How you know her: Real Housewives of Atlanta
Why she’d Win: She’s gone through some very public issues with her former pro-athlete ex-husband, but Sheree is super classy, and generally just fierce. She’ll go all the way!
