Somehow I missed this last week but I wanted to take a quick moment to remember Frankie from the Real World: San Diego cast. Its hard to believe when watching Real World: Key West and Real World: Denver that it was just a few years ago when MTV still tried to fill their cast with diversity. Frankie was one of the last true freak cast members. From her hair, clothing and attitude Frankie certainly was a shock to her roomates and hopefully to many of the white washed suburban kids who watch the show. While the girl didn’t fit today’s Real World standards for beauty or appearance she did bring plenty of drama which culminated in her leaving the show partly due to her battle with cystic fibrosis, a battle she lost earlier this month at the all too young age of 25. While most of us only knew Frankie through a few brief weeks of reality TV she certainly made an impact on her castmates and us viewers.
