The newest 'Real Housewife' cast member is as untraditional as it gets: Fernanda Rocha, a 33-year-old out lesbian, will join the cast of 'The Real Housewives of Orange County' next year.

According to E! Online, the "tan and toned beauty" will appear as a background character until becoming a full-fledged series regular in March. According to sources, however, Rocha will not be a main housewife but instead a side character.

Rocha said in an interview with The National Enquirer that she aspires to appear in a well-known magazine. "My dream is to be in 'Playboy,'" Rocha said. "There has only been one other openly lesbian centerfold, and I would love to be the second."

Rocha also took shots at Kim Zolciak and Danielle Staub, saying they were experiencing a "faux lesbian experimental stage. I'm the real thing."

Housewife Tamra Barney said Rocha's body "definitely makes [her] want to switch teams" after she took one of Rocha's workout classes during season 5.
