Garcelle Beauvais-Nilon Visits Cool Mom


Comments (4) Share

Garcelle was such a sweetheart when she visited the Fashion Team the other week. Naturally beautiful, she certainly didn't look worse for the wear for having twins. She also has a teenage son, Oliver, from a previous marriage.  She has been the young mom and now the older mom. I told her my joke that if I met a mom who is under 35, I think they have been slipped a Roofie. She then told me a story that happened a couple of years ago. She was at an event when Kimora Lee Simmons walked by with a reality TV crew in tow. During their small talk, Kimora asked her how old Garcelle's son was.

"16," she replied.

"Oh, my God," Kimora screamed as the cameras rolled. "Were you raped?"

A real bull in a China shop. But since so many professional women defer child-bearing (like myself), not unsurprising. Here I ask Garcelle some Cool Mom questions.

    This was totally fun, I'd love to see you interview hot, fashionable Cool Moms more often. And it was insightful to hear what it's like to deal with teenagers, evenmoreso from someone in full make up and an evening gown. Kudos!

    glad you all liked it. She was very nice. Sometimes I feel more comfortable with certain celebs sticking a mini camera in their face. Knew she'd be cool.

    Love her. What an odd question Kimora asked! She should have responded with the always-useful and always equally inappropriate but hilarious comeback: "Was your mom?"
