Bethenny Frankel’s line of SkinnyGirl Jeans was only released three weeks ago and she was scheduled to appear on HSN last week. However, her segments were pulled at the last minute.
Despite a few glitches with the website where plus sized girls though they might have to take out a mortgage to get into a pair of Bethenny’s jeans. Eventually all they really needed was greased buttocks and a shoehorn. I kid, I kid!
The jeans were to be featured on HSN but the show had to be cancelled because the jeans flew off the shelf, selling out in many sizes and resulting in there not being enough inventory for the show.
Bethenny ordered another production immediately and the HSN is being rescheduled for some time in October.
It sounds to me like if you want to get your hands on the jeans, that will run you about $100 bucks or more a pair, you better get in on them early.
It seems that everything Bethenny touches turns to gold.
Don’t jump me – I am being honest – I am not a Bethenny fan – but she does have the “touch” and her mind creates what people crave
– alcohol
– clothes
– books
Even I know that her business sense is enviable for a reason. And no one better say this sell out is due to anything else – but Bethenny ruling the business world.
Congratulations Bethenny!
I’d jump you but that would be inappropriate so I’m seeking a high 5 here! Good for her! I’ll meet you half way!
We don’t have a Macy’s here (think that’s where I remember a in store presence) and I have to try on jeans before purchasing! I would probably buy a pair (@ around 100 bucks) if they fit, make me look good, made with quality materials and are comfortable. I wouldn’t buy on HSN…I’ve been a fan of hers since day one, she’s crazy good at knowing her market this B! How exciting!
having a different opinion doesn’t automatically require a jump! anyways I am not a
fan but do respect her business savy.
It’s apparently a rule that non Bethenny fans have to post twice as much as Bethenny fans and always begin by announcing that they are NOT Bethenny fans before saying something nice.
I feel like they stand up in movie theatres before watching Lady Bird and announce, “I’m not a Laurie Metcalf fan, but I heard she was okay in THIS movie! Thank you. Now you may continue enjoying her without me.”
yeah, that’s not me – i just don’t want to be a hypocrite – I have my own reasons for not digging this woman and have always respected her business savy. that is allowed
You’re doing it again.
Why are you so rude to people who read your site? Why do you care what she comments? Don’t you want people to read this blog? Leave it alone, Jesus Christ.
“Do you want people to read this site?” How did you read all of my comments and NOT BE ABLE TO FIGURE THAT OUT? And don’t call me Jesus Christ.
First of all, lol. What? I read down the first few comments and once again saw you being rude as hell to one of your blog readers. So I guess my assumption should be you don’t want people to read your blog? I enjoy reading this blog, I find it to be one of the funniest about Bravo shows. But I’ve talked to other people about how we are turned off by your nastiness towards your readers. And now I can’t even reply to your comment? Maybe stick to being snarky towards the subjects you’re writing about. They’re on a public platform and we all enjoy poking at them in the comments and in our FB groups. But I’ve never come across a blogger who seems to loathe their readers. So I guess I’m done reading this blog. Ttyl Tamara
You can’t reply to Tamara’s comment because the site only allows a certain number of nested comments. It prevents the column width from getting too narrow.
I didn’t explain that well, lol. But be assured that it wasn’t Tamara who didn’t allow you to comment under her comment. It’s just the way the system works.
She was able to comment twice right under my comments. She’s just a fucking moron. She is unable to stop posting about my treatment of the commenters instead of just getting the fuck to stepping. So I escorted her to the WLS.
If I were to let ole Sarah keep jawboing here y’all would figure out you are a being held captive and being abused by rude comments and you might break free of your chains and run off to some Internet Utopia like a Facebook group.
And we can’t have THAT!
I love you so much Tamara, you crack me up! How do they not see the WLS in the horizon?
Is Lady bird on Netflix yet?
It’s not on Netflix but it is on amazon prime
I meant “jump” in a cheeky way…please, take no offense! I completely respect your opinion and that you can still appreciate a Bethenny win. No bad blood from me Samael. I like your honesty.
it’s all cool kipper 😊
Wow – what a great problem for a company to have! They might end up being like the makeup from that ‘K’ family – it sells out in minutes online then goes for hundreds on eBay.
Congrats to Bethenny! Ramona must be spitting chips.
I got a pair and I LOVE THEM!!! Thx B!!
Do tell! Were you able to try on? Is sizing to your norm? How much stretch, is the denim fairly heavy? Tell us (me…giggle) everything! Which pair did you select?
I want to try them on. I actually read really good things about them. Bethany always looks great in Jean’s.
Double Wow!
I’d call this a astounding success.
Downside……this will increase the green eyed monsters going after her…lol
Isn’t the HSN show cancelled due to lack of inventory? I am not familiar with the turnaround time on jeans. Or maybe she doesn’t need HSN now and had an opt/out clause. She can sell them directly. Why give HSN a cut and have to do the damn thing of “selling them” on air when apparently they will sell no matter what. Hell-I had decided to get a pair when I saw how excited she was at the quality of them on RHONY.
I am going to have to hire myself a lady sitter to keep me from poking my eyes out with forks. It is literally 104 words to get to the answer.
Why do people not realize that the question in the title is answered in the article.? How can you not know that?
Who reads a title and then just starts making random guesses about what is in the post? Maybe monkeys flew out of Bethenny’s butt and that’s why they had to reschedule Bethennny’s HSN appearance.
Maybe the HSN lot was shut down for swine flu?
Did all of the cameramen on earth suddenly die of unknown causes and there was no one left to hold the camera?
Did the rapture happen?
Please come take all the sharps out of this house.
Thanks for the laugh this morning, TT. I needed that!
Me too. I don’t know why but I just LOVE the mean TT. To the injured parties, don’t take it personal, seeing TT in rare form is what I live for on this site, so just know you have made some people’s day while you are licking that window.
YASS!
I really used to enjoy this site, but the way you make fun of other people for overlooking something and the use of the word “retard” will take me to other sites. Please continue to “poke your eyes out” with forks. I guess it’s ok to belittle people. Your site used to be snarky and fun, but it’s just become bitter and sad. Block away.
When the thing “overlooked” is THE ENTIRE POST then they deserve to be made fun of. It’s the only chance they have to get any smarter, you retard.
Oh, TT, I do love you so much!
Holy Crap, these complaining nitwits actually consider TT rude today, LOL They have not seen anything, today is child’s play
Faux outrage irks me as much as Faux News. There’s so much to be angsty about. This isn’t one of them, FFS.
Are you breaking up with me????????????? Faux outrage is one of my favorite things!
Hahahaha. Heck, I barely watch any of these shows anymore, but yet here I am. Gotta stick around and watch you swat off those faux outragers like the verbal ninja you are. Simple pleasures.
[And I am sure Nancy will be just fine with a little mockery. She’s no snowflake.]
Holy shit!! I just got off my 3-11 shift at a hotel packed with old people-came and commented my thoughts. Used to kinda feel safe here-that was brutal Tamara!! I apologize-I misunderstood!! Mea Culpa!! Jesus Christ!!
It was NOT BRUTAL! No need for apologizes. It was a collective response.
Now can everyone stop calling me Jesus Christ?:)
Didn’t you just get a gold star the other day? Star at the gold star and remind yourself that Tamara is snarky but she loves you. Or you could make a little Tamara voodoo doll and poke me with pins. Please avoid my liver area, it’s traumatized enough.
I hope you are off work today.
Also, in my defense, HAVE YOU SEEN THE PREGNANCY MATH in the Kenya Moore Pregnancy comments? That’s enough to make anyone snarky!
OMG-you do make me laugh (Jesus Christ). Thought you were going to make me smarter? Still waiting!!
Reread the post-now I am faux outraged at myself!! Glad we are good.
See? Reading my post made you smarter.
I rest my case.:)
I think each pair will sell out in 2-3 minutes. That’s how Guiliana Rancics clothes were (dad was a tailor) and a few other famous people. She will REALLY HAVE to have stock! I’m glad to hear about the fit. Obviously the style isn’t going away and some (like me) like oversized tops like they are leggings
The embellishments were smart. They aren’t “bling” like the younger girls, but they have stripes and understated stones with gray, a chain…..things I’ve never seen for a “grown up.” She hit it on the head! If you haven’t seen the “virtual try on” on her site, it’s pretty cool. Never seen that either that detailed. Hats off Bethenny! Don’t come until your loaded up! 😜
Tried her popcorn & loved it ! Have to get better with the time cause wasted half. She had a flavored water a while back & that was also good, (certain flavors) but can’t find it anywhere. I’d buy the jeans, but too pricey for me. Forget Ramona, I bet carol is flipping her shit over this. Very very happy for her success
I’m having trouble finding get stuff also.
Everything she touches turns to gold… except relationships. I almost wonder if she made some type of soul-selling deal with the devil that prohibits her from maintaining meaningful human relationships in exchange for unlimited and wild success.
Congratulations to Bethenny. I didnt think that rhinestone jeans would sell out. She did it!
ughh…ok I get it
WRONG.
Bethenny was last seen flying her Skinny Girl branded modified crop-plane across the South, raining cash cards down onto the masses. I have it on
no authority at allvery good authority that during the flight she happened upon Carole preaching in the street, “Trump is the real reason for your plight! Vote blue in the midterms, honey!” and was spotted screaming “KAMIKAZE!” decending rapidly towards her general direction.Also, yay on selling out your jeans B!
I saw a pic of her jeans being sold at Costco on a FB group I’m in at a heavily discounted price. Head there if you want a pair for cheaper.
Not at my Costco! I actually was there yesterday to get my teen jeans and didn’t see any 😔
Could that possibly be because everything you read on the Internet in a Facebook group is not true? I’m just throwing that out there as a possibility.
Thus the commenting rule about stupid shit people read elsewhere. 🙂
Facebook not true? That’s retarded.
We are not allowed to say the R WORD! Oh wait, yes we are. Nevermind.
Dear Tamara-must reply and ALL HAIL THE QUEEN OF SNARK!! Since you conveniently left off a reply button!! Gee!! I DO feel smarter (you crazy bitch!!)!!
At Costco today. Not a single pair of Skinny jeans. Good grief.
Where there any Yeezys? Or Kylie lip kits? Or other sold out items? How about Cartier love bangles?
Because I read on a Facebook page they had all those things…
Unfortunately, none of the above. Just lots of Kerry Gold butter, preservative free bacon and some awesome non branded raincoats. Shellgall would be very disappointed.
Yay for Bethenny! I’m a denim junkie, literally wear them 365 because I can wear them to work and are looking forward to buying a pair.
Jo yes yes about 2 years ago I broke down and bought Buffalo brand jeans in black, I love the material. Everyone said they did not recognize me out of denim.
Me too!! And I love Bethenny & her ability to connect , network & take action to help people with all of the $$$ she is making.
I bet Ramona, Carole and Dorinda are losing their shit over this and I love it. The way all of them treated Bethenny was horrible last season. Their jealousy was so obvious, especially Ramona “fake tits” at the reunion!
Congrats Bethenny, your days of standing in the supermarkets giving out samples of your wares have definitely paid off. Way to go for realizing that the RHONY is a good platform and running with it! I don’t blame her one bit for being pissed that the other ladies try to make starting a business look so easy. IT’S NOT. Maybe that’s why theirs (ahem, Ramona) flopped, they (she) took the easy way out, ALLEDGEDLY.
It never feels like your articles about Bethenny are real. It seems like you kiss her ass. Did she threaten to sue you at the time when you used to call her out? I quite reading your RHONY summations.
Hi carol
Yes Rosa. Bethenny Frankel gets up every morning and heads over to Tamara Tattles before she even has her coffee to see what I am saying about her today. If she doesn’t like it she sends the men in SkinnyGirl jeans to my house and they give me a script on what to write.
Nothing her is real.
Oh no, I’ve said too much.
Rise, I reread TT’s post, I don’t kiss TT’s ass, seldom compliment her. I wanted to read what you saw, from your point of view. I do not see what you see.
It is a rather straight forward simple post, no big words that is factually correct. I saw no Bethenny ass kissing.
So were you looking for a fight. I won’t give it to you but someone in here might.
Oops ROSA not Risa
Yes, both TT and Andy are extremely scared of Ms. Frankel… Muahahahahah!!!
And Carole’s still fussing at Andy Cohen on Twitter. I think she’s depressed and can’t get out of the hole she’s in. At least I hope so. I hope she’s not just a complete twat and always has been. I really liked her.
Bethenny is like a lot of highly successful people – good at business, not so much in the relationship arena.
Early on, you had the girls from Orange Co, NJ broads, and ladies of NY. The NY ladies won first prize for me, Orange Co. second, and NJ last. As you may be able to tell, I’ve been Bravo HW fan from the beginning. NY ladies were most interesting, maybe because they were from NY. But, from the beginning Bethanny was treated like the poor relation. Everyone looked down on her because she was scrambling to make a living, and making it by her wits and guts. Now, the supporting cast hate her because she has made it big. She isn’t phony, she seems to wear her feelings on her sleeve, and needs real love badly.
I’m thrilled at her success and glad Carole is leaving. Carole was an intellectual snob, a wannabe socialite, and boring. Ramona is loathsome, but I’d miss her since she adds so much venom to the show.
I’m definitely in the Bethanny camp.
I’ve watched Housewives since the beginning too and Bethenny has always been a fascinating character because she puts it all out there. I’m tired of some people insinuating she’s only doing her charity work for attention. If doing millions of dollars of charity work in disaster-ridden countries happens to raise her brand profile too, well then good for her. She deserves every bit of it.
Yes!!
Wow, congratulations, Bethenny! What a fabulous reason for having your show cancelled. love the look of jeans on other women, but they don’t look good on my size 16 butt. Maybe if I were taller, but it is what it is. I was going to lie and say size 14 butt, but the karma gods would swoop down from on high and put another 30 pounds on me overnight if I did that. It does seem though like jeans are a lot more lightweight (which I like – can’t stand heavy clothes on my body) than they were years ago, so maybe one day I’ll give a pair a try.
Bethenny is an awesome businesswoman and philanthropist – her instincts are incredible, yet those same characteristics that make her so successful with her “empire” seem to be the ones that cause problems with her private life – uncompromising honesty and drive (at least, honesty from her point of view). That kind of intense focus on facts works beautifully for her with her various ventures, but can be hard for the people around her. I’d like just 1/4 of her business savvy – she’s a force to be reckoned with. Good job, Bethenny – keep it up.
Try Kut from the Kloth jeans. They come in a bunch of different styles and shapes, but they’re designed to really flatter women’s figures.
Thanks,, Jen. I’ll take a look at them. Would be nice to find a pair that was flattering.
Good American is also well made for all sizes.
From what I’ve read, your posts are measured and thoughtful..and interesting.
Re: englishrose
I’ll be honest and say I’m surprised they’ve been such a hit – I didn’t realize there were so many people out there still buying stuff because a HW puts their name on it. I personally haven’t tried to find a pair to try on, they’re too expensive for me and I find the idea of the embellishments a bit strange for grown women – how do you wash them! I’m glad for Bethenny though. I’ve seen a lot of her products come and go, I’m still sad that the lunch meat went away because the turkey was really good and the mint truffle flavored mini chocolates were delicious!
I bought a pair at a pop up in NY and didn’t really care for them. They’re very thin and resembles articles of society (Nordstrom’s lower tier denim). They are well made though. For 100 plus dollars they should be heavier denim with low stretch like Paige or Citizens of Humanity.
Just to throw it out there-I have curves and the old navy rock star jeans fit really well and they are super inexpensive. I got lucky as I put on weight due to a medication change and didn’t want to spend a lot on new jeans. Sometimes they are on sale for $25.00!! Wanted to mention this if someone really needed jeans that fit. I had great luck. Wait to go B!! Very impressed with her business savvy. I would love to try a pair of her jeans! TT-you crack me up-thank you for your humor everyday! Keep it comin’
I didn’t think Old Navy sold larger sizes… Perhaps I should actually go in one. 🙂
I’m a fan of Michael Kors. 39.99 at TJ Maxx when you can find them and I love the fit. Michael Kors plus sized clothes are for the most part normal clothes in bigger sizes rather than fat people clothes.
DID Y’ALL HEAR THAT MICHAEL KORS JUST BOUGHT VERSACE for billions and billions of dollars? That should be interesting…
Old navy does have larger sizes. Has anyone of the readers gotten any of Bethenny jeans and reviewed them? I’d be curious how they fit, I live in leggings and would love decent jeans.
No, are you kidding me? That is major!! I wonder what CJ Bomb has to say about this!
I was kind of afraid to tell her….
Well, if you have been wishing death on me it almost worked. I found out the State Fair was in town and today was the last day, So I went and basically waddled around a parking lot for two hours in the broiling sun. I planned to eat all the things with the throngs of other fatasses wandering around but it was too hot to eat.
I went to see the Flower Arranging Competition and it sucked donkey balls. I feel like I should enter next year to carry on my mother’s long time winning streak. The entire thing was just pitiful. I haven’t been in years and the last time I was there I took a guy from Holland and made him eat funnel cake and ride the mechanical bull and eat more crap. He was horrified and sort of giddy at the same time.
I thought I might need to socialize with people. There were A LOT OF FUCKING PEOPLE.
It was just so hot. I’m never going to leave the house again.
It was 31 degrees here last night and all my plants froze…..trade ya.
It’s going to be October on the 36th (according to the new gestational math) and we haven’t had a day with highs below 85 yet. I just want a nice day in the seventies. IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK?
Not if you live in the PNW. After a summer of smoke from wildfires we are looking at 60% and rain this week. Heaven.
I’m really not a fan of the skinny girl jeans, but I’m a fan of Bethenny. I put my measurements into her app and they got my waist size exactly right, but I’m also 5’10/5’11 and have no interest in wearing waders
Buffalo brand carries extra long, uncertain if they are long enough fo you. I’ve had my black jeans for over 2 1/2 years and wash them at least once a month inside out. I’ve had very little of fading and the fabric is still extremely soft. It’s akso stretchy without ever getting baggy.
They made short, regular and long inseam in the skinny and regular leg back then. Costco carries them in stores and online $20.00 o needed up buying 4 pairs.
I think the price point of $100 is a bit high
I don’t. mind the price if they fit but how the hell can you know the fit aside from buying 3 or 4 pairs and returning the ones that don’t fit?
Have you never bought clothes online?
I have and not a single thing has ever fit properly. I should have a fat clothes sale in the driveway. Things still have their tags.
Send that shit back!! Or get it tailored.
I really have to try on jeans. Even every pair of (my) Levis. I rarely buy anything that I haven’t literally tried on, even at Walmart. I learned this when I was working at Belk in the 80’s. There are such size variances between brands and I’m all over a size chart due to height and my unique (wide eyes behind glasses because I need them to see everything even in a dressing room, with blushing cheeks and rolling eyes…is that an imoji?) body type. I’m headed to Phoenix next weekend, Macy’s here I come!
I used to wear mens Levi’s 550s and when I went to buy a new pair I’d take EVERY PAIR of the size I was at the time and try them all on. Every pair fit differently.
Yup! They do!
I need to buy stock in the Bethenny brand! haha
I used to say Jeses Christ as a swear word all the time until someone (a co worker) got super offended and I felt so bad. So now I say Jimminy Cricket!
STOP CALLING ME JIMMINY CRICKET! 🙂
Ack. Jesus and I have a relationship. He knows that when I say, “Jesus Christ,” in an irritated voice, it’s shorthand, for “Jesus Christ, can you please intervene here and knock some sense into somebody via Divine Intervention.”
There’s always an appeal to his younger brother, Geezu Pete, but I feel that is taking familiarity with a Divine Being a little too far.
In yiur more serious moments you can by pass both of them and go straight to Mary, she will make the time. Women get things done.
Calipatti, thanks for my morning laugh. And you reminded me of my Catholic mom’s favorite: “Jesus, Mary and Joseph!”
Thanks for the heads up on these jeans.
I wouldn’t have checked them out otherwise.
I don’t get excited by jeans too often, but these look fantastic.
Makes me want to lose 10lbs 🙂
Something doesn’t sound right about this. Typically, the order is placed at least 6 months prior to the air date for items sold on QVC and HSN. So they have the inventory on hand to sell. If they don’t have it 3 months before the air date, the segment is pulled at that time, not last minute. Then those slots are filled in by other vendors. So I don’t buy that it was cancelled at the last minute because Bethany didn’t have any inventory to send them. These channels would never take a chance on dead air for any vendor. And how do I know this you ask? As a QVC and HSN whore, I have been buying shit form both 20+ years. I even took the QVC studio tour, so I learned how it worked. The same parent company owns both channels. Whether or not Bethany would have sold them out on the air, probably, but HSN would have cancelled months ago if they didn’t have her jeans already in stock.
I’m not a BF fan but if they are good jeans then I will buy. So, if you have them please share your opinion. Thx!
I stick by my months ago opinion this has been the best site to comment on. Yep, at times tt is a tad out there, (uh oh) but hey . When I visited other sites, I was mortified at how some commentators would respond to others. I kept my comments to myself & kept looking . And here i am. Actually i think its lightened up a bit, or am i used to it ? Unless you’re a total butthead a think tt is really funny (hows that for ass kissing ?) I was informed i needed a new swear phrase also, Jesus Christ.? Was waiting for an update on how carol was dealing with Bethanys success. (Still very new with internet & all workings but trying)
Ha Jesus Christ is fine. He’s a good guy to call on when I’m getting ornery. My mother preferred “Heavens to Murgatroid!” in those type of situations.
If viewers think that RH-franchise is a proper way to judge if the women are good at keeping relationships or not among groups that contain ladies like Ramona, Carole, Vanderpump etc etc, then there is a wrong perspective of what reality is.
Who are Behenny’s friends in the real world? She and Fredrik seem to get along well for example and she had a very good long-lasting friend in Dennis.
I almost hate to mention it, but Bethenny will be on HSN tonight at ten.
