Jill Zarin Channels Poison Ivy at Halloween Masquerade

You can imagine our excitement when we got to Bryant Park Grill for their Halloween Masquerade Saturday night and saw our favorite Real Housewife of New York Jill Zarin dressed as Poison Ivy!! Especially since Poison Ivy‘s costume was a real housewife of 1950!

Talk about trading places!!!

“A lot of people are dressing as Caroline from Real Housewives of New Jersey,” Zarin tells us, of RH-inspired costumes she’s seen. “And Kelly [Bensimon].”

Also at the party were Zarin’s husband Bobby (top photo), Lisa Gastineau (who talked to Poison Ivy about her new jewelry line Tres Glam: “[The evil eye necklaces] are made with all real diamonds,” she said), event promoter Sally Shan, and Ally Zarin (bottom photo), who was celebrating her birthday (“I applied to Brown yesterday!” she gushed.)

Happy Halloween, all!

Quote of the Day

“My dad said it best. He said, ‘Kelly, you have a contagious energy. You’re always smiling, you’re always happy and you’re always excited to be wherever you are. People are just going to constantly try and bring you down and take that away from you. You just have to keep smiling.’ And that’s what I do.”

The police report shows that Bensimon “hit him with a closed fist, theraby causing the informant to suffer a laceration below his left eye.”

“I do want to work it out,” Stefanov says. “But what are you supposed to do when a girl is hitting you? Just sit there like a punching bag?”
