Confession IV: Kelly Cutrone

The dark mistress of ceremonies, or shall we say the dark mistress of fashion, has ventured out into the literary world with her new book “If you have to cry go outside, and other things your mother never told you.” The Confessionals attended the Los Angeles book signing and left the evening with more than just a “Who do I make this out to?”.

For those who do not follow fashion, watch television, or aren’t well versed in the world of PR, then maybe Kelly Cutrone is not in your cultural vocabulary. For those of you who do, then you know that she is owner and founder of the successful fashion PR firm, Peoples Revolution, and has been regarded as the cuttingly honest publicist on The Hills. Currently, she stars on her own Bravo hit series, “Kell on Earth”. However there is more to this fashion maven than the public sees. Her recent book not only conveys her many transitions but lessons learned in life. She walks readers through with the highs and lows of what life has to offer, expresses how to be honest with not only oneself but with others, and how to climb to the top while experiencing the bottom on the journey. Throughout readers get an intimate perspective fused with spiritual enforcement, as well as mentionings of her daughter Ava, a day in a life of a People’s Revolution employee, and the wild ride that is Kelly’s life.

The book signing took place at the Borders in Westwood. Kelly arrived in her signature all black attire, and despite her lack of color, was able to add a splash of pizzazz with her studded black cowboy boots. Kelly’s dear friend, Justine Bateman, was in the crowd supporting her best friend, as Kelly shared some photos from their glamazon days in NY when they were just a couple of young night kittens on the scenes prowl. She touched upon the book, and satisfied a lot of aspiring fashionistas in the audience with thought out and vulnerable answers to the countless questions they had, in place of a lack luster re-interpretation.

As we approached Kelly to sign our copy of her book, she asked “Who do I make it out to?” We then replied “The Confessionals.” She then graciously referred to us while she mentioned to her media crew, “This is why I love the girls who admire me…All Black clothes, and hair...Love you girls!” We were very flattered, went on to chat a bit, and posed for a picture, which, came out a “tad “ blurred. Ironically a publicist took the picture and so blatantly said “gorgeous,” even though you could barely see us. That’s a good publicist.

This evening brought on a new found appreciation for the mercurial, mystical, and inspiring wonder that is Kelly Cutrone on many levels. She is spiritual, profound, honest, and a Wolf mother that truly and honestly has her den’s interest at heart.
