Here’s an excerpt from and interview with WWD:

“…The model, 31, who’s received critical praise for her voice as lead singer of cabaret troupe The Citizens Brand, will release her first solo effort, “The Ghost Who Walks,” in May…

…WWD: Your husband produced your album. Did you have any reservations about working with your spouse?
K.E.: Originally I was very hesitant to play him any of my songs because I respect the boundaries of our relationship — he’s not on set when I’m doing a photo shoot. And Jack is this brilliant, unbelievably talented man so there was a lot of fear of like, “What if I play him this song and he looks at me and says ‘That’s really good honey.

Some of you may be familiar with my friend Kelly Corrigan’s New York Times Best Seller The Middle Place,  her articles in O magazine, or from me telling everyone on Twitter that they MUST read her books.

The Middle Place is about Kelly growing up in a family with 2 brothers and the amazing journey she and her Father faced when they were both diagnosed with cancer. It is funny, charming and emotional and you won’t put it down.

Kelly has just completed her second book called Lift which is about raising her 2 girls. Read it, you will Love it. This is an amazing woman and I’m so proud to know her. She is a positive spirit and approaches everything she does with a unique outlook and you will understand why after you read her books.

Check out Kelly in the new Talbots advertisement honoring 10 exceptional women.
