When you're shopping, don't you wish that there was a little angel/devil on your shoulders to give you honest advice.

Do these jeans make my butt look bulbous? Is this the dress for Crash the Ball? How many bangles are work appropriate?

We've got the ideal East Coast-tinged voice to whisper sweet wardrobe mantras in your ear.

After hosting the Today Show (11 a.m., KARE-11) today, Bethenny Frankel, one of the "Real Housewives of New York," will jet to MN for a few personal appearances.

Your best bet for some quality time with Martha Stewart's almost-apprentice will be at Corset tomorrow night. (Note: The sassy stylists at Corset will happily offer up fashion advice any day at the store or in your closet.)

As you try on clothes and accessories, Frankel will dole out one-liners (we hope!) and sign copies of "Naturally Thin."

Unless, of course, you're into her on-screen nemesis Kelly Bensimon's look.

In which case, sister, you're on your own.

Shopping with Bethenny Frankel, at Corset, 715 Mainstreet, Hopkins, 952-224-2498. $50 tickets (available here for 5 p.m., 6 p.m. or 7 p.m. on Tue.) include a $10 gift card, copy of "Naturally Thin" and a free glass of wine at Gusto Cafe & Wine Bar.
