For those unaware, Kelly Cutrone is the publicist-slash-fashionista-slash-ladymonster who rose to reality fame as Whitney’s, and later Lauren’s, post-Teen Vogue boss on The Hills. Cutrone’s a lovable, straight-talking sadist and when “Kell On Earth” premiered on Bravo last night, it captured her PR firm People’s Revolution orchestrating shows for Fashion Week.

There’s endorsed pill-popping, seating charts, tears and asymmetrical shirts for men. The team is twentysomething, attractive and deeply miserable almost to the point of nervous breakdown, an accurate depiction of the entry-level slaves of the New York fashion industry if we’ve ever seen one.

The interesting dynamic at the firm and on the show is that Cutrone’s running sort of a Home For Wayward, Possibly Vapid Girls In The Eye Of The Public Storm (Port, Conrad, even Spitzer’s girl Ashley Dupre). Cutrone kind of said it herself in a really candid interview with Paper Mag.

“People’s Revolution is not a Zen place filled with daffodils… We’re girls that have black hair and wear all black. You don’t have to guess what’s going on with us. We’re super hard working, our hours are sick. We’re like a very good private school.”

She takes gauzy, floaty media eye-candy and shellacks them into hardened, take-no-prisoners city girls before the press can eat them up and spit them out. An anti-charm school.

It’s not easy being a bitch– but Cutrone’s great at it.
