'Real Housewives of D.C.' Debut: Michaele Salahi + Four Resentful Castmates

British-born Cat Ommanney arrived at the premiere party for Bravo's "Real Housewives of DC" Thursday night in a black mini-dress cut so low in back that she coyly told photographers, "I better tuck my knickers in first," before she resumed twirling and preening.
