ARE YOU ‘NORMAL’?

Kelly Cutrone – ‘Normal Gets Your Nowhere’

It was while I was travelling in Toronto, Canada that I walked past ‘Indigo’ book store; it was at that very moment that my heart almost stopped beating, Right there before my eyes was a poster in their window

 *TUESDAY MAY 24^th, 7pm, KELLY CUTRONE in person!

She would be there to do a signing for her second book ‘normal gets you nowhere’.                                                        I had read Kelly’s first book ‘If you have to cry go outside’ the previous year and thought it was both inspirational and amazing. I have looked up to Kelly for years watching the TV shows

·         The hills

·         The city

And also the amazing

·         Kell on earth

I believe that she is an amazing woman and fucking incredible at her job, people have said that she is a “super bitch” but I feel that she is blunt and honest and in my opinion that makes her even more successful.

After reading Kelly’s first book and feeling as though it had helped me in some way I was more than excited to read her second.                                                                                                                                                                      In I walked (ok, ok so I practically ran) picking up my very OWN copy of ‘normal gets you nowhere’. My goal was to read the entire book before going to get it signed, (this gave me 4 days) however as soon as I opened it up I could tell that this would NOT be a problem. This book too was inspirational, funny, and full of life, advice and personality!

I am not going to go into any detail as it would ruin the experience of reading one of Kelly Cutrone’s books, (and that’s what it was, an enjoyable experience)                                                               

                                                     I was counting down the days left to go until I would meet Kelly Cutrone. Finally the day came, I arrived at ‘indigo’ book store at 5:20pm and already the line was long considering she would not arrive until 7pm.

As I am from a small town we never have anything like this so the experience of going to my first book signing along was exciting enough, not to mention the fact that the author on the particular day was my role model.

As time passed by the line was growing along with my nerves. When Kelly walked through the store EVERY single person there was cheering like CRAZY, as for me, well I could not stop smiling. She looked GREAT, not to mention her killer shoes were totally awesome!!!

The speech that Kelly gave filled not only my eyes but every single person there, she was funny, interesting, caring, inspiring and just a down to earth women. During the signing Kelly was spending around 3 minutes with EACH person which I thought was unbelievable! This showed the kind of person she is and how grateful she was to each person there. I could not think of another (celebrity) that would do the same. After having my book signed I was shaking uncontrollably (2 days later and I am still buzzing with excitement.)

I can honestly say that meeting Kelly Cutrone was an amazing opportunity and a moment that I will remember for the rest of my life! She is humble, kind, funny, independent, inspirational women and my role model in life. Her books are absolutely amazing and if you have not read them I recommend that you do.

I give ‘normal gets you nowhere’ 5/5* it is one of the best books I have ever read! (Including ‘if you have to cry go outside’)

                                                            XOXO
