Think you’ve had a bad day? Think you have a demanding job? Think you’ve had a tough life? Kelly Cutrone can top it.
The intimidating fashion publicist from “Kell on Earth,” “The City” and “The Hills” has been addicted to drugs, homeless, gone through two divorces, and was single while pregnant- and she did all this while working up the ranks of the pr ladder.
Now, the “Momma Wolf” is sharing her story with the world in her new book, If You Have to Cry, Go Outside: And Other Things Your Mother Never Told You. From relationships to religion, Cutrone bares all (literally, she writes about placentas and breastfeeding) in this page turner.
Cutrone, the founder of pr firm People’s Revolution, threads business advice throughout the book. From picking up the phone-instead of emailing- to paying your dues, Cutrone’s advice is not just limited to the fashion industry. Her tips apply to any trade, from fashion to journalism to business, and many other professions.
Cutrone doesn’t beat around the bushes, she takes charge in this book and tells readers exactly what they should and should not do in a professional setting, which is useful for anyone preparing for a successful career.
