I’m Chantel Wright, creator of Purple Panda Pants and Housewives Rules, a series built around the patterns and behaviors that repeat across the Real Housewives franchise.

As a Housewives fan for 20 years, I’m interested in more than just what happens in an episode. I go beyond the recap to dig into the sociology behind what we’re watching — the group dynamics, shifting alliances, power struggles, and patterns of behavior that show up again and again across different cities and casts.

Based in the DMV, I also cover Bravo beyond the screen, from events and interviews to boots-on-the-ground coverage when the story leaves television and starts happening in real life.

Purple Panda Pants is where all of that comes together: Housewives, human behavior, and the stories happening both on-screen and off.
