Kelly Killoren Bensimon tells the new issue of Bazaar, “Honestly, if being inauthentic means graduating from Columbia University, writing three books, starting two magazines, bearing two children, being the ambassador for wool, running a marathon for charity — if that’s inauthentic? Tell me what authentic is.” [DListed]—Somebody, anybody, please, tell me what the f**k the ambassador for WOOL does!
Backing up my position on Seth Rogen’s date rape movie, “Observe and Report,” is this Friday Feminist F**k You. [Feministing]
American Apparel is launching a plus-size line called “Colossal Clothing”—but it’s only for men. [Salon]—I’m saving up my rage, putting it in a box, handing it over to Simcha, who will comment on this nonsense next week.
ZOMG, a Sarah Haskins movie?! [Salon]

I find it ironic that Kelly ‘The Leatherface” Bensimon is the ambassador for wool.
As if wool needed any help.

That’s funny? For being the ambassador for wool, you would think she would wear it more often? That dress doesn’t look like it is made out of wool. Do you think sh e could explain wool is so itchy to wear? If she is the ambassador for wool, is she also the ambassador for sheep? They produce the wool.
Would Lady Ambassador be capable of explaining where the term ‘Wolf’s in Sheeps Clothing ’ came from and her interpretation of that? Do you think she may give a insincere answer?
I suggest someone should write to the Ambassador for Wool and demand an explanation for her existence!

Or even “Wool in sheep’s clothing”.
Dunno about y’all, but I find the name “Colossal Clothing” really offensive—so perhaps only introducing it for men is a sign of American Apparel caring for women more?

As the owner of Colossal Clothing, I’d like to point out that the word “Colossal” connotes not just size, but strength. Meaning, I can kick your ass, but I can’t find cool clothes.
Believe it or not, some big guys aren’t actually embarrassed by being big. In fact, you might even find the fact that you’re somehow offended offensive itself. Call me crazy, but somehow I doubt any of you knocking the name are big men. (you wish, Oliveira!).
If you’re interested, my response to the woefully misinformed salon.com article is here; Amelia, I’d highly recommend you and Simcha read it before responding.

Kelly Bensimon is such a diseased individual. Her sickness shows in her body, her skin, her eyes. Her mind has clearly been addled by decades of drug abuse. No wonder her husband tired of her. No wonder no one loves her. The only men she can attract now are just boys sowing some oats & she’s easy.
It’s great that Bravo has given her a forum in which to “be herself”—it’ll be surprising if she is able to maintain her tenuous ties to high society. Maybe if she preens and pants enough, they’ll take pity on her. It’s hard to believe that such a poisonous narcissist has children—I’m sure their minds are warped already; they’ll be headed for rehab & therapy in no time & then grow up to be as selfish, self-concerned, insecure, fake & shallow as their mother.
What’s really funny is Ms. Kelly Bensimon sees reality through such a distorted, unreasoning, & drug-blurred lens that if she read these comments, she’d probably think she was being complimented in some way.
Anyone who finds this beast attractive has their own set of issues. She’s like Frankenstein’s Monster: an series of experiments gone horribly wrong—from her unfortunate breast implants to her fake tan to the unsuccessful laser treatments—she’s a walking, talking mistake.

zenmonkey, I have a sister like her, also imagining she’s “connected.” My niece and nephew didn’t just learn from her thru osmosis, she indoctrinated them to become helpless little sociopaths—my sister, like Kelly, a delusional, true-believer of herself. A sight to behold.
