Something tells me the life of a NYC housewife is a whole lot more fun when you have millions of dollars at your disposal. Bethenny Frankel, star of the popular reality show The Real Housewives of New York City, paid a visit to Corset Boutique in Hopkins last month to sign copies of her new book "Naturally Thin: Unleash Your Skinnygirl and Free Yourself from a Lifetime of Dieting," (how the heck does that work?).

She also used her east coast fashion smarts to style boutique visitors using Corset's different lines of tops, jackets and accessories.

Man, she has great hair. I've never seen the show, but Wikipedia tells me that Frankel is a natual foods chef. The must be how the she squeezed into that cute pink dress. She was also the second place on The Apprentice: Martha Stewart, which I also didn't know existed. (Is that a spin-off of Donald Trump's show?) According to the Corset girls, she was very nice in person and good at offering "frank wardrobing opinion," which probably involved lots of skinnygirl unleashing.
