We got to experience "Kelly-time" first hand this past Friday, at Kelly Bensimon's Birthday party, held at the Gates, the latest Chelsea hot spot. The entrance, which literally looks like a set of midieval gates, led into a lounge of hot guests, signature drinks, and bartenders that were almost as smoking as the fireplace. But most importantly, there was the Birthday girl, holding court in what looked to be some form of shiny Mexican poncho, with strands of beaded fabric down to her knees over a pair of ripped jeans (and I would have put money on her wearing something short and tight). While I didn't get to try one of the cute little cupcakes with Kelly's name and a full body photo of herself on them, I have a funny feeling they weren't cooked up by Chef Bethenny Frankel.
