We've always had a bit of a girl crush on Kelly Cutrone. Maybe it's because we fancy ourselves the type-a-ladies who work hard, play fair and call things as we see them, and KC's the ultimate master of those three attributes. Like Kel, we're not exactly the type to kiss ass, but we're allowing ourselves one blog post (in case ya haven't guessed, this is the one) to pay homage to the People's Rev owner, whom we discovered even more reasons to love since we started watching The City:
1) She keeps a lo-pro. As we learned on tonight's episode of The City, Kelly may be a successful businesswoman, but she's not caught up in making sure everyone in the world knows it. Homegirl drives a Ford (so she doesn't "get car-jacked in a Range Rover") and pretty much never wears those flashy items from her designer clients' collections. She lets her accomplishments speak for themselves.
2) She's not down with anorexia. 'Member way back when that Allie model was on The City and Kel (OK, maybe not so tactfully) pointed out that a cheeseburger might be in order? Special moment. How refreshing to find someone working in the fashion industry who thinks eating is acceptable behavior!
3) She's fiercely protective of the people she cares about. Feel like messing with Whitney Port? Then you'll have to answer to Kelly Cutrone -- and we imagine her type of revenge for big talkers/bullies/condescending bitches involves tears, humiliation and other life-ruining tactics. It's one thing for the boss to rip her employees a new one, it's another for people outside of the pack to start something up. Kelly's a lion, don't enter her den unless you bring positive energy. Or a metal spine.
