"About this picture...I took this picture for my husband for Valentine's Day one year. I was nervous to take it and then when I was asked to do #RHOBH I was nervous to accept doing the show because I was worried this photo would surface," she continued. "I thought it was THAT risqué!! How scandalous!" But now, it seems, the tasteful shot is a source of pride for the fashion designer.
"Now here I am posting it because it DOES make me feel empowered!," Kyle explained. "I am proud to come from a family of all women, fortunate to be surrounded by such amazing women in my life and to be the mother of 4 incredible women and soon to be woman (Portia) Thank you to all the women that support me & love me.
