1. PR badass Kelly Cutrone's book has finally been released. If You Have to Cry, Go Outside: And Other Things Your Mother Never Told You, is a tell-it-like-it-is guide full of career and style advice. Cutrone is like that cool rebel in high school you were simultaneously terrified of and intrigued by. You were too scared to talk to them, but you still reaaallly wanted them to acknowledge your existence. I love a tough chick, personally. I think the world could use a few more. Apparently others agree as the book is already climbing the NY Times Best Sellers list. Don't sleep on this.

2. Exciting news from the 2010 Tribeca Film Festival: a new documentary from the fashion world (which just seems to be super popular these days) will explore the life and Studio 54-times of Halston. Ultrasuede: In Search of Halston will premiere April 30th and is loaded with interviews, clips and even some 3D effects - also a popular trend as of late. On hand to open the film will be contributing editor for Vogue, Andre Leon Talley, the documentary's director Whitney Sudler-Smith and designer Ralph Rucci. This could easily be the most entertaining of all the fashion documentaries we've seen thus far.

3. Speaking of Vogue, Anna Wintour (all hail) is auctioning off a "a week at Vogue" and all proceeds go to charity. The prize isn't really an internship, per se, as the winner gets to determine how the week is spent based on their interests and skills. And, in case you're wondering, yes, you would get to meet Anna...which is worth it all by itself. Bidding started today and ends April 29th. Check out the auction here.

4. Toronto Alternative Arts & Fashion Week starts April 21 and runs through the 25th. I *heart* Toronto somethin' fierce and if it wasn' t the last week of classes for me, I'd be there fo' sho. For more info on the week and a calendar of events check out Fashion.Art.Toronto. and GetFat.

5. Last, but certainly not least, a little hometown shout out: the Fashion LOVES Akron spring show is April 17th, 2010 at 7:30pm. And unlike those silly shows in NY and Paris, pieces modeled on the runway will be available for purchase immediately after the event and at NOTO on E. Market St. For more info on the event and to purchase tickets, check out the Fashion LOVES Akron site. Gotta represent. :)

That should keep you pretty busy for the weekend...better get to it. :)
