We met Kelly Bensimon last summer, when she wasn't yet a "Real Housewife of New York" but just a mom, hanging out in the Hamptons with our friends at Plum TV (whom she did "Behind the Hedges With Kelly Killoren Bensimon" with). Since then, she has won over hearts on the show.  Friends like Dan Honan describe Kelly as "sporty and adventurous" (indeed on Plum's show they had her drive race cars, play Polo, and swimming with sharks off the coast of Montauk!) But at the heart of Kelly's character is the desire to continually broaden her horizons.
