Bethenny Frankel shows off her toned physique
‘Real Housewives’ star Bethenny Frankel recently showed off her toned physique during a beach getaway, wearing a revealing swimsuit. She was in St Barts to launch her new wine, Forever Young, which holds personal significance for her. In a photo, she posed outside on a balcony, adorned with sunglasses and a large sunhat. The sides of her white, patterned one-piece swimsuit were open, exposing her ribs. Frankel explained that she was combining work and pleasure on the island, meeting with businesses to stock her new wine. She shared a caption on her post, stating, "Work and pleasure have collided in my favorite intersection: St Barts.” In a video, she revealed that the name 'Forever Young' was inspired by a song that played at a nightclub called Paradise in Boston, where she used to work as a cocktail waitress to save money for her time living in Paris. She added, “Forever Young is the song that used to play at the end of the night at a nightclub called Paradise in Boston. At 1.30, when it was closing time, and everyone was grabbing whoever they were going to grab, Forever Young would come on. And the owner of the club, Seth, owned a club next door called M80, where I was a cocktail waitress trying to get up enough money to move to Paris. So I lived in Paris for a semester and that’s the money that I used.”
