Celebrate "Mob Wives: New Blood" With A Big Ang Gif Wall

Mob Wives: New Blood debuts on VH1 on December 5, marking the return of reality stars Renee Graziano and Drita Davanzo to the small screen—and the arrival of Philly goomahs Natalie Guercio and Alicia DiMichele. But the real reason we watch the show isn't to see these saucy succubi get bloodied up.

We watch for Big Ang.

For the uninitiated, Big Ang, a.k.a. Angela Raiola, is the niece of  the late Salvatore "Sally Dogs" Lombardi, a captain of the Genovese crime family.  While Ang's rap sheet is certainly impressive, the raspy-throated reality star spends most of her time managing The Drunken Monkey, a chain of bars that's about as classy as it sounds.

Other Mob Wives made headlines kidnapping men in Chelsea and getting indicted for fraud, but Ang's recent attempt to open a Miami franchise was documented in the high-drama Miami Monkey.

She started off as a side character on Season 2 of Wives, but quickly emerged as a fan favorite—even getting her face immortalized on the streets of Williamsburg.

The good-natured gossip is frequently the voice of reason among the ladies, whose first reaction is to "go to war" with someone—a friend who betrayed them, a philandering boyfriend, a restaurant valet who left the window rolled down.

Ang is more concerned with where her next drink is coming from than who needs to be whacked. She even penned  Bigger is Better: Real Life Wisdom from the No-Drama Mama, a primer on avoiding the hysteria and misfortunes that seem to beset her television compatriots.

Big Ang is also an ally to the gays—or at least the drag queens who habituate her bars. Earlier in the month she even helped a gay man propose to his boyfriend of eight years.

With all her various endeavors, we're not sure how much screen time our favorite botox'ed babe will get in Mob Wives: New Blood. But we'll certainly be tuning in, even if for just a cameo by this alcoholic angel.
