We’ve cooked with the best of them but sadly no one’s offered us a makeover. That is, until now. On episode five of Haute Cuisine our favorite housewife, Kathy Wakile from Bravo’s Real Housewives of New Jersey, not only bakes us some mouthwatering harvest muffins but, with the help of her hubby, Rich, provides us with a new Jersey-licious look.

There were also some fun chiffon guys with big bracelet-like rings attached to the trains so you could loop the bracelets over your wrists and make like a bird. But judge for yourself. Or judge from the reactions of the front row which vary from open-mouthed shock (of horror? delight?) to a guy on his cell phone. Here is what NJFW looked like:
