This must be one of those Jerry Lewis style taste missteps the French have from time to time. Cuz Cory Kennedy is a joke.

i don't mind cory, but i most definitely wouldn't put her in the "gorgeous girl" category. yes, she has street style and quirkiness down, but she's just cute.

street style is such a cliche now. every other hipster looks exactly the same in too tight jeans, some combination of ugly top/jacket/hat/armcuffs etc, and converses. whereas it actually takes an eye to look polished and presentable

ugh sorry but her style is putting ugly, random shit together in a drug haze. people only attribute that as style because she's on the cbrasnake, which is only because shes smart enough to know who to sleep with. it's kind of sad if grown women actually look up to a loser, going-nowhere teen with no reason for her notoriety.

Eh, I'm not a huge fan, but cut the kid a break. She's just a high school kid, it's the web and mags that made her an "it" girl.

oh man, shes on the cover of Jalouse? How did that happen, that magazine is generally awesome. guess I wont be buying it for a while...

I still don't understand why they keep trying to sell her style to anyone above the age of 13. if she was on the cover of seventeen thatd be one thing, but what self-respecting 20something wants to take their fashion cues from some precocious brat that parties too much?
seriously.

Faran why are there pictures of you with Cory on myspace? Its obvious you wish you could be this girl by why subject everyone else to it?

There's more than one picture of me and Cory on MySpace? Ooh, where?

:)

I don't want to be Cory, her blog doesn't have cool collages.

But I do appreciate the idea she represents - that not every girl needs to look like Gemma to be a style icon, a most-invited, or a beauty.

She's also a darling of a person, but if you don't like the post, we have at least 10 others today for you to read - I'm hardly subjecting you to anything (except, apparently, the opportunity to insult me).

Yeah, I hate to be a curmudgeon here, but this girl is not "gorgeous." Even irrespective of the crazy outfits and 3 day old eyeliner and unbrushed hair, which are off-putting by themselves, she is just not a particularly pretty girl. She's cute at best.

Someone else I've always thought looked way better dressed down is Sienna Miller.

i do like her hair, and her jeremy scott collection (except when she wears it at the same time as mark...)

Not fair! She gets to have her own column in a national magazine (Nylon), she gets to be on the cover of freakin JALOUSE and why? Because she's a scenester party girl in LA who happened to have a much older boyfriend with a camera and a website? I mean, I get the appeal kind of and her blog is sometimes fun to read but it's so obnoxious. I went to school for this and don't have a job and she's a teenager who got lucky. It sucks!

I do read her blog and look at her pictures though. :sigh:

I've always thought she was beautiful. and i like the fact that she "made" something from the cobrasnake photos.
like a jalouse cover, I like Jalouse, it's nice that they put her on the cover. It would have been nice if she got the rolling stone cover too.

Hilarious. Dress like a down trodden piece of shit in "designer" pieces, be photograph by the ever so annoying and creepy cobrasnake and you're ~omg~ a fashion icon. Please. I've seen homeless people more sass than this girl. & like someone else said this must be a psychotic synapses a la jerry lewis phase for the pretentious french fashionistas. they turn there noses at our fashion rags yet put the stupidest on jalouse. or is it a joke we're unaware of?

i also am confused by the praise she gets as if she's the hipster Gloria Steinam for some yet unknown and bizzare cause. is brushing your hair overrated? is "being yourself" such a new and monumental concept? is she giving empowerment to the girls of America who are not attractive? ....

she isn't perfect. she isn't beautiful (and doesn't fake it like so many others who slather on gallons of shitty makeup everyday). and she doesn't wear matchy matchy outfits. but so what? she has personal style that people enjoy and emulate. i completely agree that she looks better without all that makeup and wardrobe. she has one of the most interesting faces without a thing on it.
