If you like ladies in thick makeup with thick Chicago accents, then you might like the ladies of Mob Wives: Chicago. Vh1 released an extended trailer to promote the show, which premieres June 10. The trailer features some creative uses of the term "alleged." Here's a little bit about the ladies:

Nora Schweihs - Daughter of Frank “The German” Schweihs, who was allegedly one of the most terrifying enforcers for The Outfit. He died in 2008 while awaiting trial.

Pia Rizza - Daughter of Vincent Rizza, a former Chicago police officer who allegedly ran an illegal bookmaking operation. Then, as Pia puts it in the video, he "turned rat" — testifying against Harry "The Hit" Aleman — and "he's a bleeping embarrassment."

Renee Fecarotta Russo - Niece of "Big John" Fecarotta, an alleged enforcer for The Outfit, who was killed in 1986. Nicholas "Slim" Calabrese admitted to killing Fecarotta, and his testimony on this and other murders was key to put the Family Secrets trials into motion.

Christina Scoleri - Daughter of Raymond Janek, who was allegedly a burglar for The Outfit until he "went straight" in 1987.

Leah Desimone - Daughter of William "Wolf" DeSimone, who was an alleged associate. More importantly, in the trailer she says she's a chubby chaser. "I like 'em fat and round."
