As the internet continues to make stars out of ordinary folk (Lonelygirl15, Tila Tequila, Perez Hilton) and a plethora of party-kids on the big city night life scenes The Misshapes, Last Nights Party and The Cobra Snake), the general public continues to lap it up and demand more, there’s a new star born almost every week.

Ok, so I’m late in blogging about this, but I’ve been well aware of her presence and at first I thought it was a passing fad…but it seems Cory Kennedy has been around for awhile and by the looks of things she doesn’t seem to be going anywhere. There’s been a large amount of coverage on the hipster chick that won’t quit - including this really good article in the LA Times.

Yes, her run-on sentences, bad spelling, name dropping and party hopping can get tedious, and I’m forever thinking “why aren’t you at home in bed!” when I read her blog. There is however something enchanting about her - she’s not classically beautiful, she doesn’t really do much except look bedraggled in photos (she’s being hailed as a style queen??), but still I can see why America and much of the Euro fashion blogging universe find her captivating.

Perhaps it’s her youth (she’s 17)? Her candidness maybe?, The new Kate Moss?
Either way, her rise as Internet Celebrity is something I’m interested in.
In a celebrity obsessed culture, ordinary nobodies (not in a negative way) are being turned into somebodies (sorry it’s the best example I could think of right now) and I think I kind of like it, after all they’re just like me and you.
