I went to get my mail from the mailbox when I noticed I had a package from Playboy. I hadn’t received anything from them in awhile but opened the package to see it was their March 2010 issue. I looked and noticed it was Kelly Bensimon on the cover lol. I was kinda shocked because out of all The Real Housewives of NY on the Bravo reality show, I thought Kelly was the most reserved lol. So to see her in the buff(pg. 92) was quite shocking to me lol.

I had the pleasure of meeting Ms.Kelly at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week/Swim in Miami, Florida last summer at Tibi’s fashion show. We sat a few seats down from each other. She was working for an online tv show and interviewing backstage. I asked her was she returning to the housewives show and she said yes. She was nice and I didn’t really say much more to her. In the magazine she reminds me of Cindy Crawford with her hair color and eyes. She’s a pretty lady.
She is quoted in the magazine as saying,“I’m thrilled to be in Playboy to show that a 41 year old mother of two can be sexy!”. She is on 6 pages and was shot by her ex hubby Gilles Bensimon, wow didn’t know that lol.

I’m wondering if any of my homegirls from The Real Housewives of Atlanta would ever pose for Playboy? If you were to pick one of the ladies from the ATL show, who would you think would be the first to pose? I think it would be Kim Zolciak because I think she looks great and has the bod and the blonde hair. Thoughts?
Everyone and their mama was on board the Soul Train Awards last night, held at the Georgia World Congress Center. I’m going to be honest and say I was a lil annoyed by alot of things I saw happen,but thats a whole other post. I will just let you view the pictures and I’m going to keep it moving. I try to write fun and positive posts but like I hear all the time,if you dont have anything nice to say,then dont say nothing at all. lol
Hosts Terrance Howard and Taraji P. Henson
Everyone looked nice but I’m so glad I didnt have to fly out to Los Angeles (where it’s usually held) to see the same people walking around Atlanta. The only people that I’ve never met was Chaka Khan,Ray J and Robin Thicke, all very pleasant. I loved Chaka Khan’s big hair. I also saw Fantasia and she had on the baddest shoes on the carpet!
Reality Star/Singer Ray J
They wisked her off the carpet so fast,I couldnt get a pic of them but they were hott to death! Celebs that were there, I’ve interviewed a Gazallion times, so no need in me pulling out the camera, I just took pics. As you see my pics aren’t that great because the carpet was jammed packed and some of the media outlets that were there, were EXTREMELY RUDE and alot of the staff and security were too!
Yesterday was The Atlanta Housewives Halloween Ball and I swear, I saw some funny stuff. I’ve never laughed soo much in my life. The event was held at a really
far location at Gateway but I love Halloween, so I didnt mind driving. Once we got there, we started seeing all sorts of fun looking costumes! Goblins,Cartoon Characters,Disney Princesses,Super Heroes,Sexy Kittens,Playmates,Impersonators,Sexy Cops,Pirates, Sock hop girls,Pimps,Singers,Streetwalkers,Workout girls,Zombies…Whew and many more came out to just name a few.
I loved the creativity in the room and was amazed by all the pretty and some scarey outfits. Audio Junkee did an amazing job of keeping us crunk, while later zombie dancers took the stage to pay tribute to Michael Jackson by performing Thriller. The crowd really liked their performance,they were great! Big Screens were everywhere and people danced and mingled through out the night. Some cute girl dancers were on stage too getting their boogy on, I liked them.
The Atlanta Housewives, that threw this big affair finally arrived and they came dressed too cute! Lisa Wu Hartwell and her handsome hubby Ed, wore matching pirate outfits lol. Kandis Burrus was the next to roll in, saying she was a Rollergirl. I thought she was rainbow brite on wheels but she looked adorable with the afro and all to fun! She later went on stage and song several songs to her new album Blog, that will be coming out soon. She said to the crowd that you can buy her single on itunes.
Next to arrive was Kim Zolciak. She shut it down as usual with her Christian Louboutin rhinestoned heels…flatlined, I was in awh. I think she was Alice in Wonderland. I loved her new styled wig,she was too cute for words. Sheree Whitfield arrived last and she wore an Egyptian princess outfit. She fit that role, Queen of the Nile.
Your girl was dressed in my signature pink attire! I wore a sock hop outfit with big poodle skirt. I loved this outfit and for once, my feet didn’t hurt on a red carpet lol. Usually I have to put on my flip flops, so I was happy to wear a pair of Keds for a nite of fun.
chatted it up as we watched Kim perform, Tardy for the party. The producer of the track Dito and Kandis was on stage to help her out. She did a great job but lip Synched the tune. I think alot of people were expecting her to sing it live,not sure but in the crowd, they were like awh, why isn’t she singing live?
Soon after they started the costume contest. Mychael Knight was MC Hammer and dog on, he was great! Mycheal shut it down and I had no idea he could dance too! He told me he use to be on tour for different groups and he was a choreographer. I was very impressed from his moves.
‘
Snoop Dogg and a female who was dressed like an illegal substance came on stage with smoke machine and all. I was dying because that was a great outfit and the guy really looked like Snoop. Victor another choreographer,took over the whole stage, as he performed to Prince. He won the contest and took home $500 smackaroos,alright Victor!
My friend and Photographer Rob Ector costume was really good. He was Kanye West and his friend was Taylor Swift.I was crackin up and the girl had her trophy and all. There was so many fab costumes, I would be here forever but just take a look at the pics and video. Thanks to Ask April Love and Melanie Mitchell for the media invite,I had a ball! Happy Halloween!
