Before you get inside of Kelly Bensimon’s head with Harper’s Bazaar August Issue, here’s a look at what she’s rocking on her external an Emilio Pucci dress and Manolo Blahnik shoes. Now, onto her mental state, here is some of what she shared with HB, “I’m 42, and I have this new life,” she says. “Yes, I’m more mass market. And that’s okay. It’s my job.…I’ve worked so hard. It wasn’t always lollipops and unicorns.” “I tell my girls, ‘Your mom gets paid to engage in inappropriate behavior.’ It’s an amazing opportunity for them to see that being mean is not okay. I tell them, ‘If you’re in a situation like this, walk out. Don’t come back with jelly beans.’”
