To help promote season three of the reality TV show about women whose fathers or husbands are put in jail for Mafia-related crimes, VH1 created Foursquare locations for the murals that feature her face in several cities.
“Once the murals hit and we saw how many people were responding to them on Instagram, and then their friends asking, ‘Where is this?’ in the comments, we felt we could provide people with those locations and let them check in,” VH1‘s SVP of brand and design Phil Delbourgo tells Mashable.

The five Foursquare locations are in New York City, Chicago, Brooklyn, N.Y., and Staten Island, N.Y.
Big Ang jumped into the limelight in January when Mob Wives season two premiered. Since then, popular GIF makers such as T. Kyle MacMahon of RealityTVGIFs and Matt Cherette of Buzzfeed have catapulted her antics into social feeds.
“Big Ang is instantly recognizable and makes people happy,” Delbourgo says. “At first you can’t believe she’s real, and then you just want to see what she’ll say next, but it’s all in good fun.”
