In honor of Mother's Day (Hi, Mom!) I decided to write about my favorite mom of all time, the superultrabusydonthavetimeforyou Kelly Bensimon. And by favorite, I mean the main person in life that I just can't stand whatsoever. If you've watched any of
The Real Housewives of New York City this season you know where my sentiments stem from and chances are you probably share them. Kelly's ridiculous attitude and erratic behavior during this season made her a prime target for ridicule. I thought that maybe it was just the way she was being portrayed by the producers of the show but it turns out that in real life, Kelly is indeed pretty obnoxious (like when she commented that Jill Zarin's daughters {who is 13 by the way} arthritis was 'cute'). Not only that but add on liar, thief, and spousal abuser. Oh yea, I went there.
So during the show, Kelly promoted her jewelry line which consists of a bunch of jewel-laden owls as necklaces and rings. The concept is actually really cute. But what isn't cute is the fact that those aren't her designs. The truth of the matter is that when Kelly worked at Elle Accessories, she and a colleague of hers found the vintage piece at a thrift shop and she suggested Kelly wear it for appearances. They went further to have a verbal contract saying they would develop a line based on the owl and split the profits, being partners. Well, of course Kelly ran with the idea and left her colleague in the dirt. Two days after that episode premiered, Kelly was bitch-slapped with a lawsuit, still pending.
You want more? Alright. Add to that a beating she gave her husband (?) Nicholas Stefanov during an argument they had a couple of months back. She struck him across the face, leaving a gaping slash wound. Stefanov then called the cops on her and she was immediately hauled to jail, later escaping by gnawing through the iron bars of her cell. Not very motherly-like Kells. I wonder how Kelly's daughters are going to turn out after realizing that they were raised by a psychopath ex-model? Probably just like the rest of us attention-starved faux celebrity wannabes.
See what happens when you're a bitch to everyone? At any rate, the show is over (sad face) but I'm SO ready for the Noo Joisey gals, who are expected to bring even more low-class drama. Here's to watching people who think they're more than they really are make fools of themselves on national television and having everyone in America hate them. Oh yea, and Happy Mother's Day.
Looking for Mother's Day gift and a way to help out those in need? Well look no further you fashionable philanthropists because there is a way to kill two birds with one stone and that answer is Illesteva. The brand has released a special pair of optical frames for their "Dear Mama" limited edition collection. In spirit of the upcoming holiday, Illesteva is donating part of the proceeds from each pair sold to the Help a Mother Out charity. The organization works to receive donations which they then use to purchase diapers and food to families in need.
