Nine years ago, Jill Zarin was a haimish (Yiddish for friendly) housewife who “ran with a fabulous crowd.” Then, Bravo approached her with an idea for a reality show called “Manhahttan Moms.” Jill called some friends, and soon, their well-coifed lives and petty quarrels were unfurled in the renamed “The Real Housewives of New York City.” Now, Jill is a hamish housewife — with product lines, books and acting roles — who still runs with a fabulous, famous crowd. They showed up for her Third Annual Luxury Ladies Luncheon, a fun fair of freebies, shopping and grooming services benefiting a few worthy causes.
