She was the woman who once told us "If You Have To Cry, Go Outside." And, this week, Kelly Cutrone drops her advice book, "Normal Gets You Nowhere."
The book not only has pearls of wisdom from the People's Rev founder, but also includes anecdotes from her life that are humorous, heartfelt and honest. But as it turns out, her publisher had a different idea of what she should do this time around.
"They wanted me to rewrite the Ten Commandments… like 'Kelly's Commandments.' [But] I did do a really fun chapter in the book called 'If You're Not Getting F---ed By Midnight, Go Home.' And I think that that’s worth $14.99," she laughed. "Just knowing that as a young woman when you're out at a club if you just remember at 11:59 [p.m.] if you're game ain't happening, it's time to go.
"I tried to do the right thing. I tried to believe all the things that people told me as a young girl," she continued about eventually making the decision to, well, not be normal. "I tried to believe that if you wear makeup and you're thin and you go to school you'll get the right dude and you'll get married and have a really good job I tried to do all that…"
That leads us to Kelly's, well, No. 1 commandment and the thesis of the book: "I think the number one take away message is non-conformity. Like non-conformity should be like on par with genius and success. People should say 'I am not a conformist. I am not into being normal. I do not want to be normal.' This should be seen as a leader, this should be seen as one of the most important things to be in this world cause why do we want to be like other people?" she pondered. "And whose rules are these? I think we need to take this back into our own hands. Why be normal?"
Will you be buying a copy of "Normal Gets You Nowhere"?
