I had my speech rehearsed and I spent the 2 hour waiting period reading her new book Skinnygirl Solutions and chatting with other people in line. I arrived early and was one of the first 10 fans in line. Landing that interview I felt was a success itself, like Queen B says “All roads lead to Rome.” I also had a chance to tell her that, though I landed a job interview with her long awaited talk show, I didn’t get it. To thank her for motivating me to go after my dreams by being myself and being honest with myself about what I really wanted out of life. On this very night I had an opportunity to tell her this. I was able to let go a little bit and be more myself regardless of what others, including my husband, thought. Finally, somebody like me that I could look up to. Bethenny was the first person who made it not only okay, but cool to over share and say the “wrong” thing. ![]() Holding my tongue for fear of embarrassing myself, or my husband, with my often inappropriate jokes and strong opinions. I spent many years trying to squash what some would consider a larger than average personality. Why am I so drunk on the Bethenny Kool Aid? It’s quite simple. If the aliens landed in my yard and said ,”Take me to your leader,” it’s to Bethenny Frankel we would go. You see, it was Bethenny and her message of self empowerment and coming from A Place of Yes, that was the entire catalyst for this website and everything that has resulted from it. I’m often asked who my favorite Housewife is and the answer would be this former Housewife, a woman who has taken that platform and ran so far away from it that we often forget she was a Housewife. Let me be honest here, I don’t often get starstruck, but a Bethenny sighting is a whole other animal for me. ![]() ![]() It’s a shop that has become my personal go to for celeb signings ever since my very first trip to meet Frankel for the first time in 2011. The small shop is known for bringing in big stars (we recently saw Wendy Williams there and Billy Crystal will be there signing his book in a few weeks). On Wednesday August 14, Bethenny Frankel fans lined up early outside of Bookends on Ridgewood Avenue.
