The Cast Of 'Little Women: NY' Gives The 'Little Women: LA' Ladies A Run For Their Money
I've always said that Lifetime's Little Women: LA was like Bravo's Real Housewives franchise, and this proves it. Just as The Real Housewives of Orange County started it all before migrating to the East Coast with The Real Housewives of New York City, Little Women: LA now has its very first spin-off series Little Women: NY . Welcome to the family, ladies.
Everyone knows that New York isn't the easiest city to live in, but if the season preview of this show tells us anything, it's that these ladies — and one guy — will face every obstacle that New York and life throw at them head on. And you know there's going to be New York-sized drama within this group of friends, too.
So why does the Little Women: NY cast have the right amount of chutzpah to make it in the best city in the world? Click through to find out why you're going to love them as much or even more than your Little Women: LA faves.

Lila Call
If you don’t recognize Lila, what kind of a Little Women: LA fan are you? Lila of course made an explosive appearance on the recently wrapped Season 2 of Little Women: LA, inspiring the knock-down drag-out fight between Joe Gnoffo, Todd Gibel, and Erik Tsou at what was supposed to be a party for Tonya Banks. Though Lila is friends with Christy McGinity Gibel, Terra Jole despises her for flirting with her boyfriend Joe, who also happens to be Lila’s ex. Needless to say, with all of the trouble Lila brought to the City of Angels, the Little Women: LA cast wasn’t really sad to see her return home to the Big Apple.
But their loss is our gain. From the moment Lila appeared on Little Women: LA, I just knew we would be seeing more of her, be it on this flagship show or in a reported expansion series into another city. Since Lila is the only familiar face in this bunch, she will be the leader of the pack, ironically, much like Terra is with the Little Women: LA crew. It looks like much of Lila’s story line from Little Women: LA will continue in Little Women: NY, such as her search for love and coping with staying sober. All I know is Lila is eccentric and has absolutely no filter whatsoever, so anything that she is a part of is sure to be a wild ride.

Jazmin Lang
If you’ve checked out Lila’s social feeds (who hasn’t?), you’ve probably seen Jazmin in her photos. Like many of the Little Women: LA cast, Jazmin is also a performer, and is hoping now is her time to shine, while also hoping to start a family with her husband. Fellow Little Women: NY cast member Dawn is also Jazmin’s sister-in-law, and if there’s anything reality TV has told us about this family dynamic it’s that drama is just par for the course.

Dawn Lang
Speaking of Dawn, she’s quite different from her sister-in-law Jazmin. Though Dawn has had a boyfriend for five years, she’s not looking to settle down anytime soon. In fact, as a paralegal, career success is what Dawn really has on the brain these days.

Jason Perez
Sorry, ladies. The little bit of bubbly personality I could see from Jason in the season preview of Little Women: NY has stolen my heart. He may be the only man on the show, but he will stand out for all the right reasons.
Jason is currently studying Political Science at Queens College while still living at home with his parents. However, he really dreams of being an entertainer, according to his LinkedIn page, and he has previously appeared in the Radio City Christmas Spectacular. This season, it looks like Jason will do a bit of dancing and a bit of high heel wearing, but he might also get into more serious subjects like revealing something huge to his parents. Whatever Jason does this season, I predict he will steal the show.

Kristin Zettlemoyer
Fun fact: Kristin was on Season 1 of Little Women: LA, but you probably didn’t notice her (sorry, Kristin). She was one of Terra’s back-up dancers along with Tonya, which makes perfect sense because Kristin is also a performer. In fact, she danced back-up for Miley Cyrus during her twerk-tastic performance at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards.
These days, however, it looks like Kristin is looking to take life at a slower pace. Kristin got divorced in 2008, but she might not be letting that stop her from starting a family. However, her party girl roommate Misty might keep Kristin from having any sort of quiet, normal life at the moment.

Misty Irwin
Originally from Baton Rouge, La., Misty is the southern belle of the group. She also knows how to have a good time, which means things might not last too long with her college football player boyfriend Joe, with whom she has reached a breaking point. It also looks like Misty will be strutting her stuff on the catwalk this season, because, you know, fashion is really the solution to every problem.

Jordanna James
Jordanna is kind of living every New Yorker’s dream. Upon her return from backing Miley Cyrus on her Bangerz Tour, she starred in the Broadway musical Side Show last fall. Jordanna also owns a burlesque group called Sass N’ Betties. To top it all off, she just moved in with her boyfriend Anthony.
