New York, August 14, 2008 – Even in the dead of August when we thought absolutely everyone was away from the humid city, a crowd showed up to party at 7 For All Mankind’s new Soho boutique on Thursday.  Is Kelly Killoren Bensimon catty enough to appear on Real Housewives of New York City?  She’s the reality show’s newest addition, but the former Elle Accessories editor was, gasp, complimentary about the way her cast mates accessorize.  “I like it when women wear diamonds and are bejeweled and bedazzled”, she told us.  “Not necessarily for me, but I like it for other people”, she added.  Obviously: Bensimon wore Levi’s short-shorts and Havanianas flip-flops at the party.  And she could pull off the look, we have to say. 

Gossip Girl stars Nicole Fiscella and Jessica Szohr, artist Kenny Scharf, The Sopranos’ Tony Sirico and photographer Mary Ellen Mark sipped cocktails and danced to DJ Paul Sevigny’s grooves.
