Who knew they were friends? Bethenny Frankel, 44, shares flashback photo with Kim Kardashian, 34
Bethenny Frankel has been trying to shock her Instagram followers all summer.
In addition to a parade of bikini posts, the 44-year-old reality star has also shared snaps with several men that look as if they could be suitors.
On Thursday the Real Housewives Of New York City star went retro as she posted an old shot with the Queen Of Instagram, Kim Kardashian, 34. Perhaps the raven-haired reality star was trying to get some of Kim's 45m followers to hope on to her page that has only 651,000 followers.

Reality babes: On Thursday Bethenny Frankel went retro as she posted an old shot with the Queen Of Instagram, Kim Kardashian, 34
'Channeling my inner Kardashian with Kim K. #TBT,' the TV star captioned the picture. The two are standing side-by-side in black dresses and almost look as if they could be related. The photo appears to be taken at least five years ago before Kim started having babies.
On August 21 Frankel had some fun by posting a sultry bedroom selfie with a unnamed man - whose face was obscured by pillows - reclining in her bed.
The star made no acknowledgement of mystery bedroom companion in her caption, which simply stated 'Happy Friday! xo'.

In May she was seen walking hand-in-hand with swarthy Manhattanite Peter Chalif, a financial adviser at Citigroup Global Markets.
Then over the summer she was linked to Modern Family star Eric Stonestreet, who has previously been rumoured to have dated Charlize Theron.
In the snap, the Real Housewives star wears a sheer crochet mini-dress with a swimsuit visible underneath.

Bethenny's relaxing down time comes following news that she has been subject to 'head games' by her estranged husband.
The allegations came from the TV personality's pal and co-star Carole Radziwill on Tuesday's reunion episode of The Real Housewives Of New York City.
Carole, 51, told host Andy Cohen that Bethenny often has contact with her five-year-old daughter Bryn Hoppy blocked even though it's been court approved.

Bethenny has been going through a malicious and astronomically expensive divorce with spouse Jason Hoppy for three years - longer than they were married.
The Skinnygirl Cocktails mogul is bound from discussing the details with a non-disclosure agreement – but that didn't stop her new 'BFF' Carole, 51, from letting it rip.
During a volatile reunion show Carole steamed in to defend Bethenny.
'She calls her daughter twice a day and it's court appointed, and lots of times her ex husband won't answer the phone and I've seen her call, six, seven, eight, nine times and like she wants to talk to her daughter,' said Carole, a journalist and author who became very close with Bethenny during the filming of the seventh season of the Bravo reality show.

'She wants to say "Hi." I mean she's four, there's so many like head games being played,' said Carole while Bethenny sat on the couch next to her.
Not one to stay silent for long Bethenny then spoke up.
Seemingly comparing her ex to some kind of magpie or mercenary she said: 'When you bring someone into fame and then they are left without it, and they've seen the shiny objects and they grab at the shiny objects and then it's taken away and they want it to be taken away from you also.'
A custody sharing agreement has been agreed for Byrn but the businesswomen was reportedly forced to pay $100,000 in preliminary attorney's fees for Hoppy - while the financial settlement is hashed out.
Hoppy earns around $100,000 per year but that's a meager sum compared to Bethenny who reportedly sold the Skinnygirl brand for about $100million.
