PETA has gotten Bethenny Frankel, one of Bravo's Real Housewives, to be its latest nude model. Click here to see the full ad. Frankel is an inspired choice. She's old enough (39) that everyone is wondering if the photo was airbrushed, which is giving the ad much more play online. (Frankel says it wasn't, or at least not much, and even sent an untouched version of the pic to Us Weekly to prove it.) Also a bonus: When you get one Real Housewife to pose nude, chances are always good that another Real Housewife will step up and admit that she "threw up a little in my mouth" upon seeing it.
