Kelly Cutrone talks about a new scripted show, how everyone's bisexual and why Stephanie Skinner is the 'devil'
Cutrone opens up about her decision not to represent Whitney Port's line and her future on television
Fashion-PR maven turned unlikely reality star Kelly Cutrone recently spoke at SCAD Atlanta about branding and the industry. I caught her beforehand where she opened up on everything ranging from bisexuality to a new scripted television show. Fans of "Kell on Earth" may remember the online video she produced for the Donna Karan cozy, and Cutrone, shockingly wearing makeup, wore a black cashmere version of the sweater. Season three "Project Runway" runner-up Mychael Knight was also in the audience of Cutrone's SCAD lecture, and the first to speak up at the Q&A session.
Looking noticeably different in trendy clothes since his "PR" days, Knight was intentionally coy about his identity, introducing himself as "a young designer who got some attention a few years ago" before asking a question about the visibility of African-American models. Cutrone didn't recognize him, but the rest of the audience scratched their heads, wondering, "Is that Mychael Knight?"
I know I may come off as harsh on Smelly Kelly in my reality TV column, but the truth of the matter is it's just tough love. Cutrone proved to be an open book, accessible and blunt, just the way we love her.
__Would date again?
Who says that I don't date?
From the show — it gave off that you don't, but maybe you just wanted to keep that private.
I don't really go out with anybody with the intention of sleeping with them because I don't really need to. I've done that; I've done really wild crazy things, but I'm 44 and I'm a mom, so it's not like I'm going to bring some 28-year-old guy back to my house and have sex with him on my couch and send him out in the elevator before my daughter wakes up. That's really not how I roll.__
