[/caption]About two weeks ago I experienced one of the most memorable & exciting days of my life, I finally got the chance to meet a woman who I greatly admire face to face! My partner in grind Aly from Le Modern Girl & I headed up to Bryant Park's Reading Room to catch a discussion/q&a with Kelly Cutrone of People's Revolution. It was a very intimate setting outside in the park with about 100 ppl in attendance not counting all of the onlookers.
First let me say if you have not read Kelly's book "If You Have To Cry Go Outside", please do yourself the favor and read it ASAP! I finished the book in 2 days & would have finished it in one if I didn't have little distractions here & there, I really did not want to put the book down! I think people watch the City & because of the way they edit the show for the most part, derive that Kelly is constantly more harsh & cut-throat than she is in real life. I mean granted she doesn't play games & she is very straight forward, after listening to her speak I learned that she is an extremely selfless & compassionate human being. She answered the audiences questions thoroughly about how she balances her career & personal life-she doesn't to how you should go on interviews looking like you are apart of the brand. Very practical information that everyone is not knowledgeable of, but that all woman should know.

My friend & I stood in line for about an hour I believe, but it was so worth it(she let us cut the line too ;)). I couldn't believe how giving she was with her time & knowledge, she really talked without rushing to every person that stood in that line to have their book signed. I took away a lot that day from her discussion & from the brief chat we had, I felt more empowered as a mother & a woman!
