Kelly Bensimon Wants her Own Skinnygirl Empire


The Real Housewives of New York's resident cuckoo clock, KKB, is NOT going to let her firing (#kkbfired) slow down her quest for more fame and fortune.  Aw hells naw!  She knows she better capitalize on this shit faster than Jill Zarin can say girdles!

So, what's a cuckoo clock to do when she loses her hit reality show?

Hock some self-named crap of course! 

Apparently, she'll start with a collection of ballet flats in the spring which are just perfect for breakdowns overseas, hating Bethenny Frankel or mean tweeting with Jill Zarin.  They're very versatile!

"I want to make it super chic but incredibly affordable because I feel like why can't fashion be democratic?" Bensimon said.  (Editors Note: BAHAHAHAHA!)

Girlfriend IS going to make the line charitable which is obvi dope (For each pair of the $39.99 flats sold, $3 will be donated to the Breast Cancer Research Fund) and of course she has had her hands in fashion from the motherfucking get go, so I can't hate on her too much.  It's not like she was just a fabric saleswoman who decided to rip off Spanx or anything like that...

"The reason I am doing this is because I'm the mother of two girls," Bensimon said. "If I can put my name out there on something creative and help generate money to find a cure for this disease then I'm going to do it. I've seen the courage and I've seen the hope and I've seen amazing women persevere through such horrible situations. It's really exciting to be able to help in any way."

Kelly, who has said many times in the past she NEVER puts her name on anything, says shoes are only the tip of the iceberg...

"This is the start of a bigger Kelly collection.  This is my first huge milestone and I'm hoping to bring all this great product and be able to be as charitable as possible on the largest scale possible. That's my goal. That's what I want."  (PS - if you want it to be as "charitable as possible" you may want to donate more of the proceeds to the great cause....just saying.)  She went on to say, "I don't need to be modeling in the ads.  The shoes are so hot, they speak for themselves. They don't need anybody to be wearing them."

(Editor's Note:  BAHAHAHAHA!)
