bonified hustler making my name.

certain people are associated with certain things.
marilyn monroe and chanel no. 5, paris hilton and blatant sexuality*, valentino and the colour red, ... cory kennedy and flawless makeup ?

this is coming from the hipster prodigy who has incited mimetic behaviour among teenage girls all around the world with her mismatched outfits and her trademark tangled mop.
nylon magazine revealed yesterday that cory kennedy has collaborated with urban decay to create a cosmetics line.
here, they've brushed her perpetually unkempt & disheveled hair, covered her face with makeup and tarted her up real nice. that isn't to say that she looks terrible; just different. which is the underlying problem. will her loyal fans follow her through her this change, accepting her mainstream collabo; or will they turn the other cheek and eschew her for selling out ?

who knows. what really matters though, is the makeup. to paraphrase nylon magazine, it's a bright and vivid alternative to the signature amy winehouse eye. my verdict: much like florals, i think i'd like it in small doses. perhaps a thin sliver of serpent green for a bit of added drama in your daily life instead of the thick swipe of colour they've shown in the pictures. then again, urban decay is known for being over the top. after all, if we wanted subtlety, we would have chanel cosmetics to rely on.

*which is the nicer & more polite way of saying cooch exposure via dirty sex tapes.

You'll never feel bad anymore.

It's not that I completely hate her. No, that's definitely not it. Because frankly, I would not mind living her life. It's just that I can't stand looking at pictures of her for more than an instant. I'm not quite certain why. I'm simply not a big fan of Cory Kennedy. It's probably the fact that she has a nice bicycle and parties with L.A's cool crowd, which can be related to my Agyness Deyn disliking. I suppose I just can't stand girls who've got it all.

That being said, her attire is a completely different story. I would kill to have her clothes. At times, her look can be a bit too, how do you say, 'i-put-this-together-at-the-very-last-minute' for my taste, but without her 'i-couldn't-care-less' attitude, well, she just wouldn't be Cory Kennedy, now would she? I adore her oversized tees & mismatched accessories. She wears bangles like no other. But there is one particular item of clothing that she has, probably in duplicates, that I just love. And that, my friend, is her beautiful pair of denim cutoffs.

I have been eyeing these for, well, forever. They suit her so perfectly. I hope to god that they're DIY & not an expensive designer pair, and my common sense says they're probably not the latter. I mean, I haven't seen any shorts like that on the market at say, Shopbop, or Saks. But even if they are a home project, I wonder if she is the artiste who succesfully cut & frayed & fit them to perfection. If she is, well then props to you Cory, props to you. I'm sure your pals Tara Reid & Steve Aoki appreciate your fashion design skills greatly. There you go, something else to add to your repertoire of things to show off in Nylon Magazine.

Her mini leather coats paired with her wild [may I add, super-long] hair are perfect. Actually, most of her clothes are. Which is why I was so excited when I saw this on corykennedy.blogspot.com - an invitation to a garage sale hosted by none other than her & her friend. At said garage sale, she'll be selling her very own stuff, vintage clothes, tees, dresses, shoes. What wouldn't I give to be able to fly out there for July 22nd? Nothing.

Her blog is adorable and apparently she is apt to taking good pictures. Her penchant for Interpol and the Klaxons pleases me, but when I see all the concerts she goes to, I can't help but frown. Is it just me, or does it seem that she's got things way too easy? Okay, so she's climbed the social ladder succesfully, which she now rests atop. But now that she's up there, will her stay last long?

Oh & screw the 'peace out' thing. Wow I never noticed how corny it was. From now on it's just -
