Kelly Bensimon who looses her clothes in new Playboy photos was spotted at Fashion Week checking out new clothes. Kelly Bensimon’s Playboy pics simmer across the net this week with Bensimon clothing-optional.

But if she got rid of clothes then,  she is now looking for new threads at Fashion Week. That was the scene Saturday .

Reports the Daily News: “the Fashion Week parties in the Meatpacking District started opening up — and the alice + olivia presentation at hot spot Provocateur was certainly the place to be. It Girl Ke$ha and “Housewife” Kelly Bensimon were on hand to celebrate with famed designer Stacey Bendet”.

Hopefully the usual messy looking Ke$ha prepared for the show. I’m talking pedicure on her toes, toes for Trying on all those clothes, clothes!

Meantime, Kelly Bensimon’s Playboy photos for the Real Housewives of New York arrive this week.

The Playboy pics of Kelly Bensimon hit newsstands this week after initial belief that they could fall December 2009. And so far, the reaction has bee nothing but lackluster. On the heels of Heidi Montag’s faux spread of 2009, readers are a bit tired of pics that – at least released in preview – look too tame to even appear in Maxim. Why release preview photos of Kelly holding a pillow the size of a small person? It’s sad, a bit embarrassing, and cheats readers.

In the case of Tara Reid, however, it was a winner from the beginning. Tara put her legs up on the chair, put the bunny ears on, and knew what mag she was being shot for. Kelly? It looks like a spread for an interior design fabric magazine. On the cover, she’s wrapped in ribbons, inside she’s holding a pillow. When props get tacky, they ruin the interest. This is just that (pillow) case

And how do Kelly’s pictures compare to Tara Reid’s Playboy spread?

PHOTOS! Pictures of Tara Reid vs Kelly Bensimon will battle for Playboy fans attentions. Tara Reid vs. Kelly Bensimon’s Playboy pic showdown comes this Spring, and by all indications, the results may surprise you.

In winter 2009, Tara Reid’s picture spread hit the net. Kelly’s is this spring.

For Reid, it was the first major spread in a magazine in recent memory. Both Reid and Bensimon have a long history of stunning model shoots.

But then, the noticeable difference. Bensimon is anchored by one of television’s top programs – Real Housewives of New York – while Reid doesn’t have a top movie or film out to drive attention to her issue.

While RHNY is on hiatus, you would think at least that level of exposure would put Bensimon’s spread to the level of attention of a Reid cover? If the lack of substantial net news reports about Bensimon and the avalanche of international attention for Reid is any indication, it goes to show that perhaps a hit tv show’s exposure doesn’t drive the publicity machine as much as we would think.

UPDATE: Pictures are just released. The entire photo spread hits newsstands this week in the March edition of the publication.

Original article below:

Tara explains her reason for the photo shoot. “I got it fixed and now I’m OK and I want people to know I’m OK,” she told New York’s WPIX.

“I’ve had it done for the last five or six years, but people only want to show the old pictures. It’s so unfair. That’s part of the reason why I did Playboy, to show people, ‘Right, look at me. This is how I look now.’ “

Reid suffered stomach scars following a botched 2004 liposuction procedure. Because of that procedure, Tara had said she would never choose to grace the pages of Playboy. Reid had said “I know there are problems with my stomach. There are bumps on it, it’s uneven, but it’s not that bad. My stomach scars are my bottle wounds.”

Tara Reid posed for Playboy photos during a October 7, 2009 picture shoot at private residence in Santa Monica, California.
