After coming back from the A-List Awards on the redeye, I was filmed for the Thread, which appears on Yahoo.com. Apparently everyone is curious about what I wear on the show. The flower belt is a flower that I stapled to a piece of fabric and made it into a belt. It looks cute on a dress low slung, or even on jeans. I wore a feather choker at the A-List Awards, which everyone was asking me about. Ribbon isn't only for a child's hair - it is a cheap way to be creative and fun. On the Thread, they literally went through my closet and wanted to see all the clothes that I have been wearing on the show, even the green dress.
I then attended the Today Show Moms Book Party that launched on Monday. Jessica Seinfeld's charity Baby Buggy was the charity that is reaping Pampers benefit. I wish I had their book to read while I was pregnant. I was so scared to have a baby, and I knew no one who had or was having kiddies. This new book is an awesome resource for new moms to be.
As for the show, this week is so funny. I take Max to Jill Zarin's fabric store. Before I knew who Jill was, I actually bought her fabric to change my white couches into hot pink Barbie couches, which was featured in InStyle Home.
It was dark when I woke. This is a ray of sunshnie.
Kelly , i think yr hair is beautiful!! could you tell me what colour you put in your hair??? i would luv to get the same colour............
Running in traffic? Really? When you come to a read light do you stop and jog in place. When you get to a "left turn on green only" do you just jog in place until it's your turn? How do you handle a 4-way stop sign intersection? It's the most ridiculous way to get attention that I've ever seen. You brag about being 41, act your age not your shoe size.
Kelly, I think I understand you better by reading your thoughts, rather than just watching you on RHNYC. You write so well...but your fundamental insecurites (which you admit you have) show up clearly in your messages. I think you really feel superior in many ways to the other housewives, but still there is that underlying need to emphasize your good charity work, intellectual superiority, social activity, dating problems, etc. It seems to me that the person you hope you are shows in your relationship with Sea and Teddie. I think you excel in there...and what else is more important than that?
Kelly,
You are the one true lady with class and good breeding.
I hope you come back next season.
I've been in the vintage clothing/jewelry business for over 20 years and began wearing/collecting vintage 30 years ago, when they still called it used clothing, it shared retail space with an Army Navy Store and everything was $2. Those of us in the trade laugh every time you protest this idea that the Kelly Owl Necklace is your original idea. You did steal that owl necklace idea, not from whoever is suing/accusing you but from some unknown jewelry makers in the 70's. Your Owl necklace is an exact copy right down to the articulated body parts, the heavy chain and the leafy feather pattern of the body. You didn't even have the creativity to change any part of it. Had you enhanced it in any way, I wouldn't right this but you've picked something extremely common which is still readily available. You can pick one up at any flea market in NYC for under $20, a thrift store in Buffalo? $3 I’ve seen them in every state and as far away as Japan & New Zealand. I don’t even bother carrying them since my price point is too high. Now Columbia degree and all, as a professional member of the fashion community I would think you'd be more clever to rework something less obvious. Marc Jacobs takes a piece of history and re-envisions it and even he openly acknowledges his influences. It says to me that you didn’t do your research and are not a regular vintage shopper. Had you and were you, it would have been painfully clear how common that necklace is. This is precisely why designers, research depts of fashion companies and students spend so much time in vintage stores. The elders of 7th Ave, who still call it the Shmate business some of whom even retired 20 years yet are interested in keeping up with what bridges from the past to present, as well as all the foreign designers & store owners looking to see what can translate from 1909 to 2009. They use us help elicit ideas, motivate their senses and creative juices as well as try and predict what might appeal in a few years to more mainstream modern shoppers who love so many beautifully inspired lines. They use our wares to stimulate them not design for them. Lazy = boring Good luck with that.

I dont understand why Bravo put you on the show when you clearly hate being in the public, you have arrived late to almost every episode function, and seem to feel that you are above this whole group of women. Come on now Kelly you know that anyone who has such a burning desire to give the appearance of having some supposedly model boyfriend who just pops up in a huge city like manhattan and stumbles on you for a momentary flirtation, must feel it necessary to appear desirable. I dont get that whole seen where your children were forced into matching sweaters during the summer while a chef prepared lettuce rolls for them. If you could have caught the shot of your face removing the clip from your hair at the restaurant with LuAnn and the girls, it was as if you were on some sort of anti psychotic medication and completely unable to connect the comment made by LuAnn so you felt it would be a lesson in posing as you removed the clip you flung your entire head backwards and your eyes rolled back as you shook your mane. If the show is NYC Real Housewives, i think you probably feel out of place and therefore make it seem as though its a waste of your time. Life in NYC can be tough, I know from experience and i hope you take advice and sit down with a therapist to help you get it together, maybe all the issues with the man stalkeing you etc could have been caused by mixed signals given with flirtatious gestures, but get some help because you are coming unglued. The picture doesnt match Andy, something doesnt fit here. I'm sorry.
You're a sham. you didn't graduate from Columbia. your owl pendant design is stolen, max is a prop not a boyfriend. you are one big fake. Cute !
Name drop, Name drop, Name drop.. You remind me of my sister, she has two different voices. Sometimes, you pronounce words differently than at other times. For example, when you were confronting Bethany in the bar, you were speaking differently than let's say when you do your interviews, etc. Even when you left Bethany and immediately went to Max, you spoke in your regular voice and kept repeating the scenario over and over. I found it funny that even he wanted you to move on and stop talking about it. You called the meeting with Bethany and were late and you didn't have the class to apologize? It seems like you act like the world revolves around you. I read all kinds of magazines, fashion to gossip and never heard of you prior to the show. I also found it interesting that you told 'the Bethany bar story' to EVERYONE like you were trying to get them on 'your' side. The twirl thing you do with your hair drives me nuts. Use hair spray or something attractive to hold it back if it bothers you that much. You seem so into yourself. Karma is a Bxxxh.
Hey Kelly,
After watching the reunion I gotta say you changed my mind about you. You really have class by not talking trash behind any of these women's back nor were you ever mean spirited. Bethanny really needs to shut up and take ownership of all the crap she starts instead of crying when someone calls her out on it. You may be in your own little world at times but you've never hurt anyone and took the high road instead. Kudos. Hope to see you next season.
Precious Kelly,
You know in your heart that the reason the women give you hell is because YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL. It is as simple as that. You can actually see the jealousy on Bethany's face. (and I am sure you can feel it.) If it behoves you to be on the show, do it next year. The don't want you there because THEY ARE MEAN GIRLS.
Dear Kelly...I must confess...you are my favorite on the show...clearly This 50 something yr old man has a schoolboy CRUSH on you....wish that it could be a REALITY
Your adorable,and I love Your entire aura
Hi Kelly
No disrespect to you, but I'm wondering about your constant bringing up that you went to Columbia for college. It was reported in one of the papers it was the college of general studies, you seem to imply on the show and in your blog "you were attending Columbia full time" that you were an undergrad at the Ivy League Institution. There's a big difference. It's incredibly difficult to get into Columbia as an undergrad straight out of high school, and really the college of general studies is open to almost any adult student. You say on the show you are a Columbia grad, but in reality you are a graduate of the Columbia University School of General studies. Such a misrepresentation! You should be more specific, it's not really a true hard core Ivy League degree you got there. I went to Carnegie Mellon University, not an Ivy but a heck of a lot more challenging than Columbia's school of general studies. So be honest witn the public; people are mocking you that you keep bringing up that you are an Ivy grad, when in reality you did adult night school at Columbia basically.
I don't understand how you think you have a great life. It seems so boring and totally superficial. It seems like you have no true friends. it's all about 'names' for you. What a shallow life. And, why can't you talk to Bethenny in a normal way. It's as if you can't handle her. I think you feel inferior to her intellectually.
Congratulations on your good taste for man.
Besos para Max!
Eugenia from Argentina
I think you are the one with the problem not Bettany, you called her for a sit down to talk and basically had nothing to say of value. I don't understand how you consider yourself better than anyone and have a problem endorsing any charity and on top of that is the only word you could describe Alley's illness is cute you seriously have issues. If your only purpose on the show is for entertainment I could do without that entertainment next season.
Why do you always look uncomfortable on the show? Do these women bother you as much as they bother me? I would never consider any of the "ladies" on the show "socialites" more like social climbers.
You are a classy, classy woman and you are waayyyy too good for this show and its ridiculous viewers leaving you negative comments.
My girlfriends and I all watch the show and we all ADORE YOU the most! You are the only one on the show that looks content with her life and genuinely happy. Interestingly, a woman I work with does not like you. She's also a bitter, overweight, underpaid, aging old maid. I can't help but think that it's people like her who are leaving you the above hate comments. Just brush it off. You're right - you are above that childishness. Just keep doing your thing and enjoying your life! ;o)
Big surprise the beginning of your blog is all about you!I really hope you don't come back next season I can only watch so much of your ego.
I don't think people "dis" you just to be mean or catty, i believe they do it because they want to take you a few pegs down from being "way up here".... PLEASE think before you open your mouth, your word-vomit is not cute.
Dear Sarah (poster below),
I think you wrote wonderfully about what is really important in life, and you obviously are living it! I think TRH series is the new version of soaps, i.e. "thank God I'm not them". It's inevitably a train wreck and the characters are chosen for that reason. These people are media whores but you have a REAL and a beautiful family. Botox is not all it's cracked up to be, anyway, (only lasts three months; tops). Best of luck to you and your family, Lynn
Kelly..
It's just amazing to me that the people at Bravo are so cold hearted that they continue to just let you be free to continue making such an ass of yourself! You would think, at some point, they would save YOUR image, reputation,etc... and forsake their ratings...guess not!
You are a true jerk and a certifiable AIR HEAD!
Gimme a break. I lived in NYC for 15 years and was an avid runner. NOBODY ran in front of a cab like that. I was sideswipped two different times when cabbies ran red lights. Anyone that lives in NYC knows to run on the sidewalks. Your line that you love to run in traffic is crap.
Kelly,
You are so dumb. Who runs in the traffic of New York City? I've been living in Manhattan for over 15 years and not once have I seen someone jogging in traffic unless it was street race. Who are you kidding? You act so conceited. I normally don't write on these things but you are so repulsive. The other girls on the show are entertaining and I can relate to how they feel even when there is drama. With you, you just seem to want to create drama especially with the Bethany incident. She made one remark. You arrange to meet with her to tell her off? What a bitch you are. On top of that, you're late.
BRAVO, please remove this one housewife. I know you probably added her to add drama or something. It's not working.
Kelly: WOW!!! Look at me! I am running in traffic. See me. Wanna be me. Can't you see I am fabulous? Everyone is jealous of my life! Donn get me a martini!!! OOOPS, wrong show.
Gotta run it's rush hour on I-35...news at 10:00...blerg!
I've been watching this show between writing papers (I'm a PhD student in literature at UC Berkeley), and I have to admit that I find it incredibly hilarious and entertaining. Still, I wonder why Alex and Simon have been constructed as these intellectual types when they so obviously are not. I think it's lame that they go around referring to other people as "stupid," and I feel that your character is what they both aspire toward--bohemian, intelligent, artistic, fashionable, hard-working, etc., and In this sense, I think you were a brilliant foil to the Van Kempen's general pseudo-intellectual/artistic lameness.
Everyone in the show has their own personality. but the show can do without kelly! she just really bothers me and i think she is extremely fake. she is very shallow and she tried so hard to hide it. i don't ramona, alex, jill, luann, or bethanny and their issues because at least they are real people at the end of the day. does'nt say something that only 1 out of 10 people can stand kelly??? That says alot. in my opinion she tries to make it seem like she is so private and so behind the scenes but she loves attention and is so fake. please i can watch all of them bicker for an hour but i can't watch her fakeness and bad style for another 5 minutes!!!!
I have to say, everytime you come on the screen I literally have to mute the television.
I'm so glad that you are here to toot your own horn, because without it, no one would know who you are or what you have accomplished.
For someone who claims to have class, I must say you are the most classLESS person I have ever seen. Maybe you should read up on Class with the Countess. It might do you some good! You are not as talented as you think you are. And really, you bring up those names in your jewelry bit? Give me a break. Lisa G? Now I know why you are the way you are. You really need to learn to think before you speak. Columbia did nothing for you!
Kelly,
Your hair is beautiful! What hair products do you use?
Kelly,
I'm glad you are much nicer than the many folks that take great pride in trashing you. It's too bad people receive such pleasure trying to hurt others. Their lives must be lacking to have so much hate in their hearts.
Stay true to yourself and don't let negative and mean spirited comments tear you down.
I find it sad to read such vile and irrational comments towards another person. Just because a person lives a different life style than others does not make is right to insult them. Just because you don't like a person that has treated you terribly doesn't make it okay to insult you.
It's nice to see a positive, secure woman on the show with well behaved children.
The assistant who helped go through Kelly's closet looked blindsided that she was going to be working (alone) for Kelly that day. She must have thought Kelly invited her over for a different reason.
Kelly,
I'm glad you're on the show!
I have watched Jill bash Simmon and Alex and their children yet you didn't join in on her joy of trashing.
I have watched Bethenny trash you nonstop without any rhyme or reason and when you finally reacted she acted like the victim, that must be frustrating.
It seems like Jill and Bethenny hired folks to trash you here. Why you can't like someone without being vile and nasty towards other's is terrible.
I'm glad to see that you don't talk behind everyone's back or take great pride in ripping other people to shreads.
It is wierd that Bethenny counts how many times you've met and seems to be obsessed with you. I do understand why you reacted to a person that won't stop trashing you for no apparent reason, it stinks and you have feelings!
It's too bad you weren't given a fair chance instead of Bethenny trashing you before you were even introduced. It seems like the producers had that planned.
I don't buy into the histeria since you have shown yourself to be your own person with beautiful, well mannered children and are far more postitive than the people trashing you.
Hi Kelly!
Ok, so I really do like you, you seem like a good person & great mom!
However, I must say that I live in NYC, and running in the middle of the street like that will get yourself killed! Drivers in the city are pretty aggressive, and you really don't want to get in their way! Plus, why would you want to run in the street when there are so many beautiful places to run in the city? Riverside Park Running/Bike path is my fave! And of course Central Park!
You continue to say you graduated from Columbia. I actually did graduate from that University and cannot find your name on the alumni list. Please explain.
OMG Kelly please come back next year. You add much needed drama to the New York ladies. Bravo can't make this stuff up!
You're like so like nice because like you like donated your clothes like to charity like instead of like getting like $5 for them. You must like be like a saint or something like.
Kelly - EVERYONE gives their old clothes to charity, darling. And they do it without an assistant.
Kelly, I didn't think to highly of you until I read your blogs. I am very happy you do work for neuroblastoma. I never heard of it until my grandson was born with it. I never new a baby could be born with cancer. Please use a second of your air time to show your compassions, I think I, along with alot of people have the wrong idea about you.
I am a single mom living in a rural area without a lot of money. I love my life and am VERY grateful for all I have. My daughters and my furry and feathered kids constantly show me what real life is all about!
I watch the show for entertainment and in all honesty I have wondered what and how women with means live as opposed to making ends meet.
After watching you and reading your blog, I see that having money does not give class nor make a woman a good mother. In this world of ours with all the concerns, charity is NOT a dirty word. I volunteer anywhere I can and we adopted an elderly couple through the area agency on ageing.We rescue animals... There are SOOO many things you could do! Re: kids - you spent your daughters spring break by riding (you) and shopping at an upscale store. Our spring break was spent being with each other. We played board games, dressed up in "costumes" and make-up, we danced and sang. We window shopped, drove to a wonderful candy shop and everyone picked out what they wanted most - but the limit was $4 each. We thought of new ways to help the earth...
My daughters are awesome! They are very close to each other and their friends. Tonight I have to tell them that our Mr. Bill passed away this morning (our couple we adopted0. I know their first concern will be what we can do to help his wife.
Life is short - it is a wonderful feeling to be grateful for what you have AND to give with grace.Living life by helping others and our environment will not give you a model boyfriend to "show" nor will it give you an evenT to attend but it WILL give you a wonderfully satisfying feeling. BTW, growing up is a good thing!
Sorry as a New York city resident of 10 years I have to set the record straight and make sure the rest of American understands that running down 5th Ave in the middle of Midtown in front of a cab DOES NOT HAPPEN...the one rule of driving in NYC is go as fast as you can until you absolutely must stop! If there wasn't a trunk with a camera man in front of her filming that cabbie would have just leaned on his horn till she got out of the way...sorry to burst the bubble of the handful of Kelly lovers on here who now think running with cabs is "one of those cool New York things" but has to set the record straight!
Kelly,
I hope to see you on Season 3. Your self possessed antics and delusional interpretations add high entertainment value to the show. Pls don't get over yourself, continue to drop names, and don't get run over by a taxi!
You looked amazing running in NYC...It was out of the ordinary, but you looked so gorgeous...Fabulous legs!
People LAY OFF Kelly...If you take the time to comment, she's definitely caught your attention...I like Kelly a lot and think she has fantastic style and taste and is unabashadly grateful and appreciative and aware of how fortunate, blessed and unusual her life is and the people she is exposed to...I hope she comes back, as she is my favorite housewife of all the seasons in terms of REAL style and mojo...sorry....it may sound shallow and I consider myself deeply spiritual, but isn't seeing how the other half live and maybe being inspired to create some version of that why we watch?
This just goes to show you how truly out of touch this prissy party-girl is. All that blather about the economy and if she just could be a "do'er" had me laughing.
There are Goodwills, Arc and trift stores in every city... and people on a continual basis supply them with good re-usable items. Hell, I get a call every month.
This episode showed how truly uncharitable she truly is, if she thinks this a grand gesture. Sitting on the floor letting a professional do the job... what a way to be a do'er.
Kelly- i really love your style! you are not afraid to show yourself and try a fresh look i know you have a jewlery line but i would love if you did some sort of a clothing line!!
kelly, how do you get your skin to look so great. your face shines without lookng greasy. what product do you use?
