Kelly Cutrone

Cheerio to London and Kell-O!

"I went to my Dr. and his receptionist asked me if I had ever used a vibrator. "Of course," I replied."

Mar 8, 2010

Starting my morning with Ilario looking super fly on the couch (can you believe we bought matching Indian Kirta's on Portobello Road earlier in the week?)  How convenient... it is not easy to leave a 3,000 square foot hotel room with Ilario hanging out at 7 AM after a long night of fashion parties.

One of the things you did not see was Robyn, Emily & I actually all got married to Ilario - he did everything with us. Finally he had to make a list of rules because handling three black-haired PR Chicks - well, it is a full time job. He made all of our reservations, sorted all of our cars, got dates for the girls, he was super concierge. We kissed a lot and it was fun. Sometimes I wonder if Ilario and I should just jump back into it. We played house over the Christmas holidays for about three weeks. Wouldn't it be odd after all of this time we actually got back together full time? Hmmmmmmm.

YABA DABBA DOOOOOO!!!!!! Jeremy Scott - has been my client for over 7 years and we always have a super blast together - pushing the boundaries of pop art, fashion, provocation and communication. The Misshapes did the music for the show - I wish you could have heard all of the Flinstones samples.

I absolutely love the show. Kelly is great and I just love her personality. People's Revolution is a great company and does awesome work!

I've never commented on this before, but I'm such a HUGE fan of you-I've commented on everyone of your show's bloggers!! You are amazing. You are a rockin' female warrior!! I watched you on an IFC fashion show years and years ago and have always wanted to say, "Thank You!!" For inspiring, for being real, for allowing us, non-fashion-industry-goers-but salivating from afar's that we can live vicariously through you!! You are definitely a tribal leader-thank you. You epitomize female strength-thank you. When I grow up I wanna be like you! You are so needed! Thank you for your voice, your presence, your strength...your light!!

First, I love your show. I finally see someone with bigger balls then mine...lol

What the hell is going on. Those assistants chose to work, so work. Stop with all the tears. I think the problem with the staff is.....They expect life to be easy and Kell, you're definately looking out.

Try prioritizing your tasks. Better yet...take a post-it and put your tasks there. when you're done, take that task post-it down. Not only will that keep you focused, but that will also show the bosses what's on your plate.

Sooooo...assistants either take it and learn... or get out. Simple as that. I'm sure there are others wanting your job in the wings.

WHERE ONE WONT ANOTHER ONE WILL...

I think you should give up on the thin "I want to be in fashion" people of NY. Las Vegas is filled with "yes" people. Here in Vegas we always joke that we have the best service. if you had a Vegas person, they would never complain about the amount of work. First we would just be happy with work. I would bet my life on, the grads from the hotel school could do the jobs of the people on tv. Plus they would like the work.

I really enjoyed the show last night. You looked great at the photo shoot! Your daughter is adorable. It seems like everyone was piling everything onto Skinner. She needs a break and I think you realize that. When you edited that new designer's collection it looked 100% better. I hope she took your advice.

I just wanted to say I almost fell off the couch during last night's episode when Kelly talked about being/looking like herself on television, in pictures, etc., during her book photo shoot. AMAZING! It just blew me away to hear a woman talking about "being real" in the air-brushed, size 0, world that we live in. I loved it. Bravo to you. Your daughter will be well served by your example. (but you already know that -yeah!)

Kelly, I LOVE your show and I plan to have my family buy me the book for my birthday. I love your honesty. While I can never be as ballzy as you I am taking your advise - '..if it doesn't feel right then move on...' . I do not plan to stay in places or situations that don't feel right, life is too short and I don't care what people think.

Hi, Never wrote on a tv blog, obviously doing so now. Your show has me consumed! Anyway, just wanted to say thanks for the all advice you fire out for artist! I especially like this last episode when you did an impromptu critique of the girls jewelry and purse shop. You said something like...your display should represent a sentence, not a paragraph. Everything looked great once you completed editing! I am a visual artist and do a variety of work and sell online. I truly appreciate the advice! I am now trying to display my own shop, keeping what I actually learned on your show, in mind! Who knew!I just thought I was being entertained!:) Thanks!

The way you handle motherhood is amazing!!!You are a fierce businesswoman and an amazing and balanced mother as well. You are an insiration to working mothers everywhere.

I enjoy the show and admire what you ladies (Kelly, Emily and Robyn) have built. It really is incredible. I too experience the many trials of having younger staff members who seem to just not "get it" as far as what it takes to be successful or having to teach them the same thing over and over and not have it "stick". However, ladies, I know you have to be tough to survive in your business, but coming from a large corporation, you three would be an HR nightmare. You all have incredible life experience to share with your great staff, but just remember, they can't hear you if you are constantly in their face and yelling at them. No one could. I see a lot of telling them what they don't do right, but I don't see a lot of showing them how to do it right. Maybe that is the part you leave out of the shows? At times I feel like your staffers barely come up for air from one tongue lashing and there is another one within seconds. I always try to remind myself that just because I survived some tough bosses doesn't mean I have to repeat all the mistakes of those bosses. So ladies, maybe your new tagline should be, if you have to yell or lose your temper go outside.

I am so inspired by Kell, every word of wit and wisdom i suck in like sweet lemonade.Love this show, it is such a breath of fresh air and Kell is a fantastic woman.

I love you and Ava and wish you would get with her father, she would be so happy. Happy ever After. Kel you are so beautiful in the pic. Just striking..

Kell reminds me of my ex mother in law, she is the coolest woman and the harshest wrapped into one. Go Team Kell!

Kelly, when I watch your show I always think to myself your my sister from another mother. I appreciate your logic vs. emotion in your business dealings/events/clients/staff etc.... Amen sister for your hard core no nonsense business objective. I have a Marketing/PR firm in the yachting industry on the west coast. Boating is full of cling on/fake/hoochie poochies who think their poo smells like roses.... during my boat bash events I rule with an iron fist. Kelly its just so great to see you on TV turning event problems into victories. I have soooooooo been in those tight 30 seconds till your on jams. Thank you to all women kind for our example, great rockin mom skills, and heart bigger than Texas for your staff. By the way; Andrew and Skinner are cute as pie I love them both to bits! Please Remind Skinner, "we teach people how to treat us!"

I LOVE YOU! I've always wanted a job doing something fast-paced, stressful and AWESOME! And I didn't know what that job was until I saw your show. I would come and work for you in a heart beat! I'll be watching you every week and cannot wait to read your book!

i love this show kelly you are a great person i hope you the best you have accomplished alot you inspire women all over

Kelly, you are the BOMB! I love your outlook and your amazing and inspiring acumen. Going to get your book...NOW! P.S. ilario = hot!

Kelly.

Kudos to you for your GREAT parenting and for showing women they can do ANYTHING they put their mind to. Your a great inspiration to every woman that watches this show! Thanks for showing the world the fashion industry and what goes on behind the scenes for without you, there would not be a show. I admire your zest for life, your job and your child and hope you know how much you have given to each and every woman that has watched your show. Thanks for allowing us into your life. It is pure pleasure to watch you work and balance your life, love and work so passionately! My very best to you!

Screw the haters, you're amazing. I grew up in a family of entrepreneurs and guess what, it's a tough and (as you said) unfair life and the people that have to work to succeed in life don't have time to be shiny happy bubbly ALL the time. You are the most authentic person on reality T.V. today; truly a breath of fresh air. There needs to be a few less housewives and a few more Kelly types. YOU are the kind of example our daughters need: a real hardworking woman and loving mom. I grew up watching my own mother struggle with balancing being a boss and being a mother. There aren't words to describe how difficult a job it is. Kudos to you.

Kelly - What kind of boots were you wearing during the Toys in Babeland scene? Two words - BAD ASS! I want some!

I have to say out of all the shows i watch on Bravo i love Kell on Earth .........i think Kell and her team are the best and i wish them all the best.......i am wanting to buy Kell's book cause i believe the way she does if you want to cry go out side.... it makes you stronger if you dont let ppl see you cry

love you all

Kell, I want to come work for you but I don't want to be on t.v. So I could like wear a paper Bag over my head. Bravo would have all these scenes of you screaming at a paper bag person. It would be a great spin. We could like cut holes out for eyes and draw a big smile on it. It would be such a statement at fashion shows. Anyway, think about it. Oh and hey! I think you are a great mom and I love how you dress. Don't go getting any Botox on me please. Keep it real!

Kelly Cutrone. You are the only woman that cannot be summed up in even 2,000 words. Your character describes what it means to be a successful, yet holistic woman. From your work ethic, to your spit-fire personality, besides my own mother...I truly adore you. I am a Nurse Practitioner, and I know what it means to fight for your right to get and be what you want. Ruling the world is not an issue for you, and I appreciate that about you. Keep it real! You're amazing. If you want your own personal provider...I would be first in line!!!

Wondering if you and llario should"jump back in?" seems like you already have...You are very cute together:)

Kell! Love the show! It's good to see the good and bad of the retail industry! I was laughing at your comment about how you dress. You are your own brand and [eople expect you to look like that now.

Kelly, I am sooooooo glad "Kell on Earth" is on bravo! What a great addition to bravo's line up of shows. I find the show very entertaining. I love how you are with your daughter. Even though you have said that to be in PR you have to be (I am paraphrasing here) thick skinned, and harsh, you seem to be a very loving and kind person. I enjoy watching you with your daughter. You have definitely provided a world in which she can thrive, and grow as a human being. Kudos to you!

Kelly - You're amazing! Thanks for keeping it real. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the show. You are the most authentic person on reality TV today. You are an inspiration to all.

Kelli, You're fantastic and love the show. I wouldn't miss an episode. But please ban the word "like" in your office! The staff can't complete one sentence without it. It's "like" annoying.

Kelly, you're not the "B*tch" i was expecting you to be. you actually have a valid personality considering your profession. you put the "ME" in team because you have to! way to go(gone)- Kelly Cutrone!

Kelly, you're not the "B*tch" i was expecting you to be. you actually have a valid personality considering your profession. you put the "ME" in team because you have to! way to go(gone)- Kelly Cutrone!

Wanted to let you know I break my neck to watch every one of your shows. Thank you for showing the true person you are in the work place, I'm just like you and I love it. Ohio with a city attitude!

I bought the book! Love it! Read it in two nights! Psyched to read it again! I'm amazed at how Kelly Cutrone went through all the BS and still came out on top. Inspiring!!!! Thank you Kelly!

I love badass chicas! You have the right conbination of leather and lace. Hats off to you power chicks rule!

I like you and you baby daddy together w/Ava.

Kelly, You are the right combination of leather and lace. Love that you are using your powers for good. I love badasses and you are one. You to that you and your baby daddy work well together. Ava is great.

Kelly! You are a rocking power chick and I love you and your show. I am a Bravo Reality fanatic but your show is the only one smart enough for my husband to watch too!!! Can't wait to read your book!

Dear Kelly, Yours is my FAVORITE bravo tv show EVER! WHY? In contrast with the Housewives, and Rachel Zoe, and most of the women featured in bravo shoes -- you have a real face! you wear black shapeless clothes! you are smart! you aren't utterly dependent on some rich, creepy guy! you don't care about make up and clothes even when your livelihood depends on people who seem to care only about make-up an clothes! you work your freakin' ass off! you don't get involved in big interpersonal drama! you are honest! you are straightforward! Well, I could go on and on. Love the show, love you, Keep up the good work.

Hi Kelly, actually had a question for you(don't even know if you would read this though) How come you have a picture of Goddess Lakshmiji and Lord Ganesha idols in your office and home? I am an Indian and started watching the show the moment I saw Lakshmiji's picture! And if you can do it so can I!

I love the show............ i really want to know how hard is the job, the girls are doing............it seems that they are always stressed...........i am interested and i think i can do the job!...... love a challange...... the point is i love the show.....its so interesting...

Kelly: I wished I were about twnety years younger and could work for you. I think you are fabulous!!

i just have to ask if whiney port and her gal pal there still working for you !!!!! you are such a super mom wish my mom was like you

you sure don't need to teach your daughter that Wal-Mart is a bad place to shop. Some of us work hard and are happy but can only afford to shop there. I teach my kids to appreciate no matter what. Wheather it be Wal-Mart of Macy's. My kids love me and will not grow up being judgemental. Single mom, 3 kids and they are very happy and well rounded. They do not judge, and do not get upset if they have to wear something that comes from Wal-Mart. That just really upset me to hear that come out of your daughters mouth to your mother!! Grandma had the best of intentions and you didn't even let her say what she got!!!

I have been watching your show and it is awesome. I have been in the wholesale and retail of fashion and jewelry for about 21 years and I admire you for the way you are no nonsense but have empathy for your employees. I did 32 trade shows a year when I started and people don't realize the amount of work that goes into pulling off a successful event. The travel and perks are great but I raised a 5 and 6yr old and traveled to New York,Vegas,Florida, and Vegas. I worked for Lost Enterprizes out of california. I had to quit when my son got really ill in 07. I would love to come and work for you! I know the economy is bad but I've been told I can sell glasses to a blind man. I can't wait to read your book and you are doing an amazing job with Ava. You are a force that the fashion world needs to watch out for. I am 47 and my kids are grown up and I would seriously like to meet you. Keep up the great show and love Andrew he's the bomb.

Kelly, you are one tough broad (in a good way)... one day I will work for you--I promise, besides all the good things people have to say... I want to know where you went to college? Anyone have an idea, I love her? I'd also like to know where Stephanie Skinner went? You two are my favorites... great to look up to when it comes to success.

Love your show and the way you are able to do with your child and your career. Robyn and Emily on the other hand...unless the editing for their scenes is really bad they are blame shifters and not good at communicating their needs and wants. You will go through a lot more junior employees if you don't get them controlled. Take a few days to train people for what you want them to do. Emphasize this concept. Special emphasis tothat Robyn, the woman is POISON. She must believe she has ESP and that Skinner can read her mind right back. I know a chaotic person when I see it. A trauma hospital is full of chaos, but our staff is not chaotic. Robyn is CHAOTIC!!

Kelly, I love your show & think you are an amazing woman & a wonderful businessWoman! You are right, "if you need to cry, go outside"! I think it would be amazing to work for you. No, REALLY. With my maturity, professional demeanor, exceptional leadership skills & a "no other choice but to succeed" attitude I'd make a perfect addition to your workplace family.

Call me & I'll relocate to NYC tomorrow!

Kelly, I love you! I'm a 56 year old straight woman who has been in a high stress industry for years (I charter private jets) I would work for you in a minute! I get so frustrated watching some of your younger interns because they have no idea the education you are providing for them. There is no MBA in the country that can compare!

My ex was professor of entrepreneurship at UCLA and honestly you provide a better education than anyone could afford.

If I had the bucks right now I'd pay YOU for an internship if you'd have me. I can't wait for the book to come out although it's hard for me to imagine how you're going to do a book tour.

I am so jealous of your interns and hope in the future you consider an older person as an intern. I'm very immature for my age and love to work as many hours in the day as I can. I've "had" a life that now for the most part is on auto pilot.

Re: Ilario, my advice, if you were to ask, I'd keep it where it is. It's good. Hell, it's GREAT! Why mess it up?

PS I love that you've confirmed my entire wardrobe of black, black, black! Oh and at 56 I've never had a vibrator! :-)

Wow, I wish a have a boss like you!!! You are very smart and the people that works with you have a lot to learn from you, you are like a encyclopedia of fashion careers, best wishes for you and your lovely and adorable girl,she is very lucky to have a Mommy like you!!!

The entire week prior to the episode which aired 3/15/10 there was a commercial which featured some sort of tragedy, an ambulance and Kelly crying about the tragedy. I waited all week to find out what happened, but there was nothing. I googled it and the only thing involving an ambulance was the episode where the model fainted and that is not the episode I am asking about, do you know what I am talking about???

Dear Kelly-

I started watching you on "The City" with Whitney and I just loved your attitude for work and life.. its like either you do it and get over it or leave!! Then when I seen you were going to be on BRAVO.. and then your Show name I knew it was a not miss!! So I a faithful fan who has followed you too this show.. So are you not going to be appearing on The City anymore? I really liked how you inspired and mentored Whitney in her quest and hope she appreciated it and will not forget all you have done for her. I dont however like her friend Roxie.. I love how you put her in her place though!!

Enjoy your crazy beautiful life and daughter and I think you shouldnt let her daddy get away he is a hottie!!

Best Regards!
