Kelly Bensimon’s new bikini body: much improved or still scary?

fp_6964028_bensimon_kelly_brj_29_34

For whatever reason, Kelly Bensimon consistently gets pap’d whenever she’s on vacation in Miami. I’d like to think she’s not calling up the paparazzi to take photos of her while she’s wearing a bikini, but the bitch is crazy, so I wouldn’t put pap’ing herself out of the question. Anyway, last year many of us we horrified when we saw several sets of Kelly-wearing-a-bikini photos. Her body… was not good. And I wasn’t even really a question of her being too heavy or too thin – her body just seemed really, really strange. Even though she wasn’t “emaciated” there was just weirdness going on with the flesh and bones. She didn’t look like a woman who takes care of herself, at all – which she probably doesn’t.

So these are new photos of Kelly in Miami this weekend. Having just glanced through the old photos, I have to say… she looks better. She’s put on a little weight, and she has better muscle tone, and basically she doesn’t look like a drunk transvestite with an eating disorder, frolicking in the beach. Maybe she finally got some medication that works for her or something. Well done, Kelly.

    She still has no body fat, but seems strangely ‘loose’ in areas. I agree, her body does not look like she does much to take care of it besides exercising like a nut and depriving it of nutrients.

    What happened to just wearing a great one piece? Why is it that everyone seems to think they need to wear a bikini? VERY few people look good in one (and I am NOT among them). She’s not doing herself any favors.

    Personally, I like to have a brown stomach – that is why I like to wear bikinis. My tummy is good, but not perfect, since I had a baby at 40. But if people don’t like what they see, they are free to look away. I do have a one piece I wear when I’m not sunbathing.

    Yeah her body isn’t meant for a two piece. Just because you have a flat stomach doesn’t mean everything will look good on you. Work with what you have ladies! It sucks, but saves you from looking the fool.

    Body-eh. I could live with it. I am not going to judge somebody on something they really can’t do much about, other than wear a one piece and not get busted implants. Maybe I am judging. But it looks like she got some work done on her face?

    Her face looks pretty and definitely softer.
    There are pictures on other sites of the rear view and her ass is very saggy and flat.
    With all her exercising and plastic surgery I’m surprised she doesn’t work on lifting up the caboose…
    Her body still looks a little odd to me but not as hard and masculine as it’s looked in the past.
    She does seem very body confident despite the flaws everyone else sees..I’m not sure if it’s healthy self esteem or massive narcissism.

    I was wondering the same thing about steroids. There is just something “off” about her body. She looks like she is all muscle, especially her torso. I would be interested to see some old photos to see how much her body may have changed.
    My issue with Kelly is she appears to be so narcissistic that she thinks she can wear anything. That bikini does not flatter her at all but she probably thinks she is gorgeous.

  14. Jane says:

    She is built like a man, broad shoulders, no hips, knobby knees. Even if she put on weight, I bet she would not have curves. Most of it would probably go to her upper body (and I don’t mean her boobs). Just because someone is thin doesn’t necessarily mean they look good in a bikini and she is proof of that. One thing I will say is a plus, she doesn’t appear to have any cellulite on her thighs, but that is another male trait.

    “Her shoulders are broad and her hips are narrow, a masculine silhouette.”

    I find it strange that so many seem to find this silhouette unattractive. It’s not hourglass, but only 8% of women have an hourglass figure according to this wikipedia entry: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Female_body_shape

    I think it is high time we embrace all of the body shapes we come in and the femaleness that is represented in ALL of them. After all, men don’t seem to have a hard time doing that. Why should we women be so hard on ourselves and each other? Why should we be telling each other to cover up?

    JMHO…

    She’s added a bad weave and she’s had some fillers to soften her face. I suspect that she is drug user and indeed is doing a combo of drugs plus poor diet. Some time ago she gave a demo on what she’d eat in a day and it was barely enough to support an active adult. It is a shame because she is an attractive woman.

    she can’t do anything about the fact she has small hips. a 1piece won’t make you all happy either, it won’t give her an hourglass shape. she won’t have one, no amount of eating will make her have hips, some women just don’t gain weight in their hips, they gain it in their stomach.

    Well, I’m biased because I have significant scarring on my body. And for the first time in a decade, I actually wore a bathing suit last summer! (Yay! Wow, swimming is FUN!) It IS a two piece. OTOH, it’s a two piece that I picked out carefully, tried on, and looked at in a full length mirror to make sure it actually flatters me.

    I don’t know what kind of suit would flatter Bensimon, but it sure ain’t that one. But — just like for all of us — there are PLENTY of fun, youthful beachwear options that would showcase her assets (legs for days!) and downplay her flaws (the torso & gristle situation).

    I have never watched real housewives, so cannot comment on her personality. But really? because she is “crazy” it is okay to comment cruelly on her body? If girlfriend wanted to, she could be 400 lbs and sporting a bikini and it would still be nobody’s business but her own. I wonder how any one of you would feel if this sort of criticism was publicly imparted on you? most of you commenters here are more nuts than she apparently is.

    I agree that a person has a right to where whatever they want in public, and that’s cool. If a woman wants to get the tan that requires a bikini, ok.

    But for any woman to expect to still be bikini-hot at that age, having had kids, and overtoning in the gym, is just delusional.

    There’s a reason men chase younger women, and this is exactly it. Plus, if you’re going to be photographed in broad daylight, then please be prudent. Of course, with paparazzi, may not be their choice. Price of the easy life of money and fame.

    Oh well, the ravages of time. Hot women just never clue in that they got a free ride when they were young, and one day, it’s just over. Men have to face aging, too, but somehow, hot women just never can get it because they’ve been buttered up their whole lives.

    This is why average and ugly women actually have real careers and real characters.
