Kelly Cutrone, fashion publicist and owner of People's Revolution, recently published her first book,If You Have To Cry, Go Outside. 

About Kelly Cutrone

Kelly Cutrone was born a publicist, but it took her years of trial and error to finally come to that realization. From working as a club promoter, teaching nurses's how to sell the NutriSystem meals, touring as a vocal artist, and working as an assistant for Susan Blonde, Cutrone now owns the uber-successful fashion public relations company, People's Revolution.

Kelly has a daughter, Ava, with Illario Calvo, and has been married - and divorced - twice: first to Ronnie Cutrone, then Jeff Kober. She can now be seen putting on fashion shows for companies like Agent Provocateur, traveling between her New York, LA, and Paris offices, and appearing on shows like The Hills, The City and, now, Kell On Earth. 

If You Have To Cry, Go Outside

While the book is mainly geared to 22-25 year olds heading into their first job, anyone inspiring to work in the fashion industry or those looking for a wake up call will want to at least skim through the chapters. I received this book on a Friday afternoon, and by 11 pm the same night, I had read through all the chapters. The only other book I've ever sat down and read entirely - in one sitting - was Eat, Pray, Love.

While I didn't take away very much career advice from the book, it did help me to think more about what I want in my career. The book wasn't necessarily meant for me, though, considering I'm years out of college. To the college student that hasn't been given the paved path (or a trust fund), there's some advice that can come in handy -- if it's used -- including the advice to find your tribe and to contact the people that you want to be (then intern for them). In today's economy, especially, it's important to stand out, and Kelly spells that out clearly in her book.

Kelly Cutrone Quotes

"Some people are meant to pursue several dreams in a lifetime." -- On not sticking to one career

"Personal branding is about figuring out who you are and what turns you on and then monetizing it."

"Everything good happens after thirty."

"I followed my fears to their worst possible conclusions, becoming penniless and alone (these are most people's worst fears), and what I realized each time was that no matter what happened, I was going to be fine." -- On facing her fears and "negative internal talk"

"I had joined the underworld of people who are alive but not living."

"Om Anandamayi Chaitanyamayi Satyamayi Paramei."

There are a number of highlights from the book, but Kelly's story of how she paved her own path, found her tribe, and created her own religion gave me a whole new respect for her.

"Give good phone."
