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?

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.

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.
