- Kelly Killoren Bensimon shares more on her relationship with Max, and the hardships of dating in NYC.
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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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'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.

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.

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!

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, one thing I really like about you is the fact that you're not as gossipy as the other housewives. For example, when Jill tried to draw you in by trashing Alex and Simon's parenting skills, you rose above and she was forced to move on. Way to go. I get tired of seeing the 7th grade behavior from women in their 40's week after week. You seem to be happy with yourself and you have a positive attitude. The others could learn something from you.

I was introduced to this show when my son appeared in the Kelly intro segment at the Hugo Boss party and she commented on all the men she meets in NYC. Once I saw the trailer, and got over the fact my son had a closeup, I tuned in to the show and was hooked. Kelly's life seems creative and fun and I know a day with her would be a blast because we'd could train for a marathon and hold up traffic, interview a clothing designer, steeplechase in tight little outfits or maybe attend a fashion show...which would be infinitely better than chasing Jill's dog among bolts of fabric, deciding which of the lame logos would be the best for Ramona's skin cream, trying to figure out what fork to use so I wouldn't offend the Countess, trying to corral Alex's screaming brats so she could float in that nasty blow up pool, or standing around in some A & P in a dopey apron trying to unload a batch of sugar free cupcakes.

Hi Kelley,..most just jealous of your independent free spirit. Bethany is like a young bratty sister who tries confronting you all the time to bring you down...Bethany is just anorexic and anxious,..neurotic! For her to call you Madonna in front of the fundraiser director was just asking for it. And I agree....Who cares what Bethany's history is,..if she was from the WOODS or not,...it's no excuse to try to gang up on you. I love your attitude. I'm tired of Bethany thinking her snippy little one liners are so cute or funny anyway. They are not. YOU ARE COOL!!!

You wrote, " I meet a lot of guys like that who can't wait to be photographed next to me or piggyback on my life." Who? What? are you talking about? I have never even heard of you or have seen your photos until you started on this show. Piggyback on life how? I don't get it. Why does everything have to be about you? I think it's wishful thinking on your part that all the bus drivers & patrons in delis recognize you. As for posing on your invites, how egotistical is that? You're not a college girl anymore so quit acting like one. You seem to forget that you're supposed to be a role model for your daughters.

You're a beautiful, self possessed, well-spoken Columbia grad so of course people are going to be envious. I admire that you're rising above it.

Kelly, you are the best! Don't let these bloggers get to you, your fans aren't as low as hers to write hate comments on her blog, and even if we did, of course they don't get approved. She can give criticism, but can't take it. Keep smiling and being "up there".
Their hate is your energy, keep doing what you do! =]

Kelly, I just watched your "Kelly gives back" video. Nice job. You've now done what the majority of middle class does yearly. You've cleaned out your closet, and donated the clothes to people who could use them. You call it "charity" and "being in the trenches" while we call it donating to "Good Will". The only thing you didn't do (I assume) is lug your clothes to a big metal box sitting outside of some grocery store.

Shame on you Bravo and me.
I have watched this season of NYC housewives laughing at the insane antics of most of the cast.
There is no talent just narcissistic behaviour.
THe viewers silently tarpoon the cast thinking Thank God we are not like this.
I just viewed Susan Boyle with over 20 million youtube hits!!!!
Bravo take a lesson in the Susan Boyle phenomenon. We don't always need to view a train wreck.
No longer a viewer.

I saw the owl necklaces on the show and love them, especially the larger size in black metal, great design! Where can they be found? (I only watch sporadically, so I was lucky to be watching when they showed your jewelry line).

You're a classic American beauty and the others on the show, except for LuAnn, appear jealous of you.
If you really invited all of them to a party then didn't show up, I salute you!!
P.S. I love the owl T. Wish I could afford one.

Kelly,
While watching you discuss your jewelry on your last visit to Los Angeles, as the camera panned the designs, I was shocked to see my anchor pendant firmly placed among the other designs you call your own. I firmly believe in a universal consciousness but as you were in my studio several years ago while doing an article for Elle magazine on Los Angeles designers, I find the consciousness a little suspect. The size is exact as
is the rope which I designed with thread and had cast in gold. How is it you expect so much from your girls and so little from yourself?

The "running in traffic" stunt reminded of the models in Zoolander who thought they looked sexy & hot squirting each other with gasoline... until one of them lit a cigarette!

i think that everyone needs to give kelly a break. it's funny how everyone loathed vicki (oc) and ramona in the first season and all of a sudden, they've become a favorite. kelly seems like a good person, just that her actions dont necessarily translate as "good" according to the common thread. i think that she is neither shallow, pretentious nor crass. to me? she's shy. shyness tends to translate into antagonistic behaviour; even though it's not malicious intent.
hope to see kelly on season three!

FYI, you are not above Bethenny, or anyone else for that matter. You think you are some celebrity, yet no one has a clue who you are. Also, people are trying to drive in the street, its not for running.

I can't believe how shallow these bloggers are. Their comments are absolutely mean. Are these haters all paid by Bethenny? I don't understand why people like Bethenny at all. She is as self-centered and she is one of the coldest and the meanest person I know. I think it was arrogant of her to be catty at Kelly just because Kelly didn't want to get to know her. How insecure and spiteful is that? She did start all of this by beging absolutely rude to Kelly at the charity planning event.
Anyhow, I think you are great Kelly. You can't help it if your life was different from others - being a model and standing out all your life. You are being yourself but people just can't stand it because they think you are being lofty. Ridiculous. I can see that you are just being yourself. but these haters never grew up or lived a life like yours so they just can't understand it. I think it's shameful how shallow these bloggers are because they can be anonymous.

Why on earth would a woman your age have a pillow fight with high end expensive pillows at an adult cocktail party? I'm sure if Jill and Bobby wanted those shinnanigans in their store, they would have invited Simon & Alex's kids!

Kelly,
Maybe I should be writing this to Bravo, but I just saw the clip titled, "Kelly gives back". You have got to be kidding me! Every year my husband and daughter go through our clothes to give to the salvation army. I am not impressed with your charity. To give away the clothes that you don't wear is great but the fact that you act as though you are holier that thou giving them away makes me sick to my stomach. Grow up and maybe get out a little bit to see the world and you may see some amazing things other that you silly self.

To the people writing all of these nasty things to Kelly: YOU are lame and boring and superficial. Why all the venom? How is she hurting you and how old are you? Please, realize these the things you are saying must be so so hurtful. Why are you trying to make someone else feel bad?

Kelly,
I agree with Jill on how you handled your daughters. It was firm but not hysterical. Although your daughter wasn't exactly misbehaving for a child her age it is important for her to learn respect and I appreciate that that is something you strive to teach.
Running in traffic? Were you shooting a commercial? I'm sorry, Kelly, but that was just weird and looked like you were being an exhibitionist. As if NYC traffic weren't already bad enough!

Kelly,
I just visited your website to view your jewelry. I see a deco theme instead of "Indian Princess Goes to The Disco". I have an owl pendant just like the ones you "designed" from my grandmother. I was really interested in your designs after seeing a few pieces, but most of the pieces are not all that stylish for a woman to wear or interesting for that matter. I was expecting something totally different. Plus, you completely offended anyone over forty who may be thinking of wearing your designs. I am interested in seeing future work, and may look you up seeing I follow and support few other designers from NY (to spare everyone I won't name drop). Good luck with that.

I can't wait to see next weeks episode!! Regardless of what actually happens, if that was you posing for a Halloween party invitation, its got to be a fiasco! Who poses for a costume party invite in barely any clothes at all? Who invites their guests to dress up in costume, but puts themselves, practically naked, on the invitation? Unless that invite photo was you in costume as a washed-up, has-been, oops, "never-was" fashion model from the 80's, well then, you've got a great costume! Happy Halloween!

Wow Kelly there are lots of really harsh comments on this blog. I am giogn to try to be a little gentler. I have watched the with amusement since you have come on.........I have mixed feelings. I think you are totally narcissistic and are your own biggest fan, this is obvious.
I think that you are a good mom, and that you desperatley want to be accepted by friends, family ,men, colleagues...etc....that you deep down have lots of insecurities, and that you have succumbed to living in a superficial world, and have fallen prey.
I mean the running in NYC traffic was laughable, I lived in NY for 15 years and not once did I see someone ever do that, the way you are always looking beyond the person you are speaking to, to see if someone else has come into the room that might be more important. The way you sat at the table with the women planning a fundraiser behaving so rediculously about "using your name". No offense but MOST people have no idea who you even are, many with much more recognizable names happily put their names and faces and efforts to worthwhile charities. That is when I realized how full of yourself you are. I moved from NY and am much happier being out of the rat race, you reminded me of that, thanks and good luck~!

I don't get why you are on the show. I find you very self centered and a little to insecure for a women your age. You should never pick a fight you can't handle. Bethenny beat you down girl! Stick to what your good at,"running in traffic."

I think you treat everyone as if they are beneath you. You are the most self centered person I have ever seen. I think you ruin the show. Hope you won't be on next season.

Running in NYC looked more like a photo shoot with your hair blowing in your face, than actual exercise, you looked ridiculous.
Please tell us once and for all why we are suppose to know who you are or why we should care, the name dropping as got to stop. Boring! You should stay "behind the hedges" and get off of Real Housewives.

Bravo should get her off the show. She is still in High school mode, She is a wannabe celebrity. I have never heard of her??? Most comments on her are negative. If Bravo wants to have high ratings they should have an episode where they give Kelly her walking papers.
