What does it say about Miami Beach Fashion Week when some of the biggest celebrities in town for the festivities were from Bravo's Real Housewives franchise?

Jessie Luttman had the rundown on the celebs in attendance earlier, and it left her wondering "where the real celebrities were."

As per a Lesley Abravanel source, frustratingly loopy New York housewife Kelly Killoren Bensimon attended the Shay Todd show, as did New Jersey housewife Dina Manzo. But -- ruh roh -- Kelly refused to take a picture with poor Dina.

Isn't it time Bravo just bit the bullet and put all of its best housewives on some deserted island and made them compete for basic housewives necessities like Botox injections, hair appointments, and party invites? Isn't that really what we want to see at this point? PC of NYC Prep can host!

Sadly, it seems Danielle Staub wasn't at the event. Too many bad memories/ex-coke dealers who might want her dead down here in the Magic City.
