Kim Zolciak is coming.

She was supposed to be in New York this week, filming footage for the Real Housewives of Atlanta.

But then Corey McCants decided to organize Athens Fashion Week, track down the phone number of Justin Jones, Zolciak’s agent, and asked if she would be interested in coming to Athens.

She said yes. The ask was a logical one for McCants.

Fellow Housewives Phaedra Parks and NeNe Leaks may be Athens natives, but:

“Kim Zolciak is fashion, in her own right,” McCants said.

Trailing her will be a crew for Bravo, as well as photographers and bloggers.

McCants said he expects people to appear from across the country, just to snap a picture of Zolciak — who is, fortuitously, near giving birth, which only increases her star value.

The increased exposure has been beneficial to the week. For one, the possibility of national exposure — even incidentally — has been persuasive for possible sponsors, said Nicole McClellan, public relations chair for the week.
