Kimora Lee Simmons Works the Crowd at Scoop at The Shore Club

Kimora Lee Simmons hosted a launch party last night of her new line KLS which will be sold at the Scoop boutique inside The Shore Club.

We told you about this the other day but thanks to tipster Gregg we have this shot of her posing with some fans. Dayum, girl is tall. Interestingly, she didn't stay at the Shore Club. Instead she headed over to a suite at the Ritz-Carlton. And she told the Miami Herald that she liked the Setai spa. Whoops.

From Baghdad with Love

So how does Iraqi-Grecian-American model Gina prepare to step out?
"Baby Phat. Kimora Lee Simmons is a great designer and a beautiful woman that makes other women feel just as beautiful wearing her clothing design," Gina says. "Bebe, another clothing design that I enjoy wearing. The clothes to me represent class, which describes me well. My makeup brand would be Revlon, Landis and MAC. My favorite perfumes, I have plenty. Two that I love are Giorgio Armani and Gucci."

Can you identifity the real thing?

Clues to a Baby Phat fake can include stitching that lacks details, an atypical finish, and missing nameplates or leather accents. Hangtags may be flimsier, with words that are printed, not embossed. Jeans are a favorite target of counterfeiters. Other jeans may be missing logos or have loose threads.

Kimora Lee Signs for Toy Drive

Kimora Lee Simmons is a triple threat: mother, model and mogul.

On Wednesday, the icon swept through Macy's for what she described as the "fabulosity" of giving.

Her style is over the top, her smile is big enough to brighten any room, but it's her heart that is just fabulous.

"There's a lot of people and children that I've come to say hi to, and hopefully they've all brought toys for a toy drive that I am doing for Children's Treatment and Diagnostics Center, which helps sick children," Simmons said.

The toys will be delivered to the center in Broward County, a cause close to Simmons' heart."It's really important for me to sort of show people that a very big part of fabulosity is giving back to the community and sharing of your time," she said.

The first 25 in line to bring an unwrapped toy walked away with a signed copy of Simmons' book and a picture

"It was awesome," fan Noelia Veccio said. "She's as fabulous as she is on TV as she is in person. She was wonderful."

Simmons, decking the halls in South Florida with style, is the driving force behind the popular fashion line Baby Phat, star of the hit reality TV series "Life in the Fab Lane" and author of "Fabulosity."

The sultry celebrity drew hundreds to Macy's in Aventura Mall. The 6-foot symbol of success transformed a line of basic tees to a mega-lifestyle collection of perfumes, jewelry and the slinky Baby Phat feline logo.

"Baby Phat," Simmons said. "The first three words: Hot, sexy, Simmons."

Simmons went from Aventura to the Macy's at the Pembroke Lakes Mall.

Kimora Lee Simmons Hardworker, Skips the Clubs

We got the nice Kimora.

CEO/fashion designer/reality show subject/single mom and sometime-hellcat Kimora Lee Simmons swept into town this week with Art Basel to promote her clothing lines Baby Phat and KLS and to attend some benefits.

Sitting in her ocean-front suite at the Ritz-Carlton South Beach on Wednesday, picking at a chicken breast and getting her eyelashes curled, Simmons was badly jetlagged. She and her two children had just rolled in from China, where she had "a little work, a lot of pleasure."

But aside from a few tense moments, like when her makeup artist stepped on Simmons' frisky Pomeranian Simba, the self-proclaimed diva was -- we cannot believe we are saying this -- totally nice.

How much time do you spend in Miami?

Not enough. Lately, I go pretty much between New York and L.A.

Where do you stay?

At the Ritz or Setai. South Beach is a little bit busy for me. I like a little quiet, like in Boca.

What do you like about Miami?

There's great shopping and lots of eclectic people.

Where do you shop?

There is some good shopping in Aventura and Bal Harbour, but I don't usually go shopping. A lot of times designers or stores will send me their collection or a lot of people who know me pick out pieces and put them aside.

Do you go to spas here?

Yeah, here [at the Ritz] and at the Setai. I usually love to get massages, and I can only get them when I travel. I like to get a facial on the road -- a little cleansing, moisturizing treatment.

Where do you like to eat?

I like the Forge; [the owners] are very good friends of mine. Also, that Italian place on the strip. What's it called?

Quattro? Yes, Quattro! You're good!

Where do you go in Miami?

I don't like to go out in public. If I go to the pool, they take my picture, and it's so invasive.

Well, do you have a wild story about Miami? Even an old one?

I've been modeling since I was 12 years old and have never hit the clubs. I've always been very hard-working. . . . Sometimes I wonder, will it hit me someday when I'm 35, 40, that I never went out?

Kimora Lee Simmons in Collector's Corner

The pajamas, books, and T-shirts I understand, but Hello Kitty bowling balls, bicycle tires, and Fender Stratocasters? Add the estimated 50,000 to 100,000+ other items bearing the Hello Kitty logo that have been marketed in the US alone, and the idea of collecting the cute feline can be overwhelming.
