Heading South (from WWD.com)
New York housewife Jill Zarin made a trip to the South last week without ever crossing the Mason-Dixon Line. The star of Bravo’s “The Real Housewives of New York City” made an appearance at a midtown Manhattan trunk show featuring up-and-coming Southern shoe, jewelry and clothing makers, including Atlanta-based footwear designer Ann Roth. Zarin slipped into one of Roth’s fall ’09 styles — a velvet and silk floral-print heel — and dished to Insider about future plans for her own footwear line. “I’ve been talking to people,” Zarin gushed, though no concrete plans have been made. “Everyone has told me I should [do a line]. I’m the shoe and bag lady.”

    Everyone wants to do something else. A handbag line, a shoe line, a make-up and skin care line, a clothing line or childrens line, a hair
    product line or a cook-book with THEIR famous receipes, or a furniture signature line. All because someone told them they MUST do this over one incident of wearing something or singing a song. YES, let us don’t
    forget that C.D. everybody seems they have the ability to cut.
    Jill, just stick to your show. We have enough shoes and handbags out in stores right now that are not even selling. I’m in retail, and
    it does not matter who you are or the price of the shoes, the economy
    stinks. We have enough!
