Katy Perry - The Chic Chanteuse - Part 2

June 19, 2008

Katy PerryPart 2

So, what does the Santa Barbara, CA-reared daughter of not one, but two ministers do, to keep herself looking so definitely not like "One of the Boys"?

"My appearance is part of my job," she answers. "And that's cool because it's like playing dress-up all the time."

And she means, all the time. Don't expect to see shots of this girl in sweatpants and a T-shirt on the Internet anytime soon. First of all, Perez Hilton loves her, so we're betting he would never, and second, she's way into the dress-up thing.

"I really try and keep it at a Dita Von Teese standard at all times," she says, referring to the always-meticulously-put-together Burlesque artiste. Citing one Hollywood Glamour Goddess channeling another Hollywood Glamour Goddess, Katy says "Even when I'm going to pick up something at the grocery store, I'm trying to look somewhat Mommy Dearest, without the craziness."

That's getting easier now that fashion designers are becoming increasingly eager to get their clothes on the rising singer/songwriter. "I went to this Chanel party for their new store and they gave me a dress to wear and a bag! I've never had one!" Still, she's always on the lookout for that thrift or vintage "find."

"I love vintage; cheap, unique, one-of-a-kind. Even though now designers are starting to send clothes, I still hunt for things. I found a little glittery bird's nest at a store that I will definitely wear in my hair."

She credits her parents with sparking her interest in Vintage. "My dad is a garage sale junkie and my mom was an antique dealer for years," she explains. "I'm like a magpie, I love all things shiny."

But even a budding pop diva needs an occasional break, what does KP wear when she's chilling? Hint: Don't expect her to be ready for a pickup game of touch football anytime soon.

"Onesies. I love wearing onesies. They used to call them rompers back in the Forties. Heart-shaped cut on the top and little shorts connected at the bottom, with awesome high heels, platforms and fruit accessories. I love earrings and bracelets shaped like fruit.

"I'll be wearing lots of them on tour. And if it gets really hot onstage, I'll have hot boys with palm frond fans fanning me down." What could be better than that?

Watch an exclusive Behind the Scenes video of Katy's cover shoot!

    I love Vikki on cover. Love to see Lily get cover with stylish dress and a fab hair style. She need new hair dresser. Get rid of Jack

    i just saw the cover with Victoria on it and it looks good. Victoria is amazing. That was a good choice. I agree to put a hot man on the cover. I would love to see Restless Amber. Nick and Sharon belong together. When married people work together sometimes they dont get along. In this case Phyllis gets mad when Nick agrees with Sharon. I see the jealousy that Phyllis has over Sharon.

    Katy Perry is the perfect cover model for Restless Style because she is the hottest thing out there right now! Katys voice is raw and real! Shes creative and has a modern and refreshing sense of humor!

  • Posted by phicklovertoo | July 14, 2008 5:36 PM

    Nick and Phyllis are the hottest couple and although the magazine business is an interesting concept, it should be just theirs.

    I don't know about anyone else, but I'm proud to be a Y&R fan. What a classy soap! And this ezine just puts a cherry on top of the sundae!!!

  • Posted by sara | July 14, 2008 9:07 AM

    Ok, so Katy Perry is pretty much amazing. I love her edgy style.

    This show is the best show in Daytime TV!!I have a very stressfull life and just knowing that I have 1 hour everyday that I dont think about anything else except the enjoyment from your show.. makes me really happy!!THANKS!!! Everyone there does a fantastic job.

  • Posted by brenda rippy | July 14, 2008 7:43 AM

    You should feature a great looking guy on the nxt cover. Adrian!!!!
    What a cutie.

  • Posted by Laura | July 14, 2008 7:24 AM

    Is Restless Amber still going to happen?

  • Posted by latina girl | July 13, 2008 10:57 PM

    I can't wait for Restless Amber!! Also I think they should ask Danny to do the cover next month.I think he would be great after all he is a great Rock Star. Hey how is Sabrina pregnant with Victors baby didn't he get a Vasectomy? Nick,Phylis,Jack,and Sharon keep up the good work.

  • Posted by Mark | July 13, 2008 2:22 PM

    I think the whole thing is hot!!!! I'd love to meet the partners who are the masterminds behind it. I am sure you make Genoa City proud !!! You rock.

  • Posted by Hannah | July 13, 2008 4:11 AM

    y'all should do Gretchen Wilson on your next cover!

  • Posted by soap_fan_4ever | July 12, 2008 12:37 PM

    Love the concept of a webzine.............looking forward to see Restless Amber. How about next months model being a male...........the men have had two females, now it's the women's turn for a hot stud.............

  • Posted by Barry S | July 12, 2008 11:54 AM

    Congratulations Nick and Jack...Great Webzine! Hope you can soon release 'Restless Amber' continued success to you all! Phyllis...great job with the online version of RS. Keep updating with new content I'm anxious to see the next Issue! NYC-

  • Posted by EyeluvYandR | July 12, 2008 10:51 AM

    I luv Amber and can't wait to see restless Amber. She is a breath of fresh air to the soap and Chloe too. Now and again we need a feisty, crazy, psycho type or else the show won't be the "YOUNG and the RESTLESS" !

  • Posted by Camille | July 12, 2008 7:50 AM

    I wish Jack would quit Restless Style and Sharon and Nick would get back together!!!!!!

  • Posted by moeuhane | July 11, 2008 9:39 PM

    i agree with crys jack and phyllis should be together and nick and sharon should be together i miss seeing sharon and nick together and was hoping they would and amber should be with adrian. and lily needs to beat down chloe i cant stand chloe she is a 2 timing woman. i love Y & R and its sister show B&B i been watching them since 1999 well i caught Y&R off and on since 1992 and 93 keep up the great work

  • Posted by Crys | July 11, 2008 5:17 PM

    I love Young and the Restless I've been watching with my mom and grandma since I was like 5. The Mag is great. I think Phyllis is jealous of Sharon and Nick's relationship even though she's the homewrecker. J&P should be together and N&S cant wait til that happens. Nick and Sharon all the way.....
    P.S. Amber is all wrong for Daniel she better off with Adrian

  • Posted by MARCIA WILLIAMS | July 10, 2008 2:08 PM

    RESTLESS STYLE SITE IS GREAT AND FULL OF LIFE. PHILLIS AND NICK,YOU GUYS ARE THE CUTEST COUPLES ON Y&R.KEEP YOUR EYES ON JACK HE IS UP TO SOMETHING, I REALLY DONT TRUST HIM NOR HIS WIFE SHARON. GOOD LUCK WITH THE MAGAZINE YOU GUYS..

  • Posted by Emily | July 10, 2008 1:32 PM

    I think Restless Style was a great idea. It should be a real magazine. Think about the reader base that would already be there because of the show. I want Phyllis to get over Amber she is trying...and Nick just kiss Sharron and get back together! Been watching since I was a little girl with my mom and now my daughter and I watch. She is fourth generation Y & R.

  • Posted by Lei from Hawaii | July 10, 2008 11:39 AM

    I love the idea of restless style! Jack needs to go, he's always trying to play head honcho! Phyllis needs to stop being jealous and use team work after all her and sharon have great ideas! Can't wait to see restless Amber! Great Idea!

  • Posted by Tanya from North Dakota | July 9, 2008 7:50 PM

    I love the new Restless style magazine. I like the new idea for restless amber.. I like Sharon's ideas. I also like Nick's and Phyllis's. Jack needs to go back to Jabot.. Chloe needs to leave Jabot and go over to the magazine.. Chloe has alot of ideas and talent.. she could do good with the fashion side of dressing the model on cover page.. Keep up the good work. I love the show. I have been watching it since i was 7 with my mom. and now i watch it on my own. its amazing how times change.. long time fan

  • Posted by Glenda | July 7, 2008 7:54 PM

    Just love Restless Style, and look forward to Restless Amber. Also, would like to see Lily on the cover think would be great. Keep up the awesome work. Y&R just rocks a long time fan.

  • Posted by ALLIE | July 7, 2008 9:58 AM

    Hey, I am lovin Restless Style. Can't wait for Restless Amber. Please don't give in to the stodgy old lady market, keep it hip and hapening

  • Posted by Pamela McBee | July 6, 2008 8:32 PM

    I think that the magazine is great would love to see a cover picture on Nick and Jack and how they are going to keep from killing each other and making this magazine a great sucess so My friend and idol Victor doesn't get to say I told you so and save Nick birth right

  • Posted by MEME | July 6, 2008 3:02 AM

  • Posted by Paula | July 5, 2008 1:00 PM

    I think the magazine is hot!! I think maybe Phyllis and Sharon need to be on the cover, who's hot and who's not!!

  • Posted by Lewis | July 3, 2008 10:00 AM

    I love this idea...however I wish Jack would go. His style is way old...Sharon might be a bit to classic, however she is flexable. But this is fabulous!! Way to go Restless Style!

  • Posted by Alin | July 3, 2008 3:20 AM

    Young, crazy and wonderful.
    Thanks 2 all who made this possible... Y&R IS THE BEST DRAMA ever and every actor is wonderful in his or her own way. Katy here is great. I like the clothes. Awesome!

  • Posted by AnnDee | June 30, 2008 1:54 PM

    I think that Sharon and Phyliss have great ideals if they could just work together. Restless Style is awesome. The covers have been wonderful. Keep up the good work. Can't wait to see what's next.

  • Posted by trish Fortner | June 30, 2008 10:34 AM

  • Posted by T | June 30, 2008 8:16 AM

    Great choices and style Sharon!!! Back off Phyllis...your just jealous. Don't set bombs for others, they will only go off in YOUR FACE!
    Can't wait to see Restless Amber!!! You go Girl!

  • Posted by Parv | June 30, 2008 5:04 AM

    What a great site! Jack is the true business man in this operation. Nick should just shut up and listen to all his ideas.

  • Posted by Care54A | June 29, 2008 6:11 PM

    What a clever concept! Nick, you should really dump Phyllis and get back with Sharon.

  • Posted by NickiNicole | June 29, 2008 9:43 AM

    Ok wait wait Shut up..... (dont I sound like Amber) I couldnt believe this wa a real site, and then when Katy Perry came one whole macarale. This is just totally awsome

  • Posted by Jen H | June 28, 2008 7:38 PM

    I can't wait for the Advar on RS.
    I think it should be Amber, she's hot.

  • Posted by bananapop | June 28, 2008 8:07 AM

    Thank God for Sharon...she really has some style.

  • Posted by Angelskin | June 25, 2008 5:10 PM

    Fabulous show and exquisite website! Uncomparable in every way!

  • Posted by Vernessa | June 24, 2008 6:09 AM

    Katy looks really good on the cover, i like her style, Nick did a really good job and i really think that he should bring back Lily.

  • Posted by Anonymous | June 24, 2008 5:18 AM

    I enjoy the Restless Style site,congratulations Nick & Phyllis, but watch your X partners, it looks like Jack is out for himself, he seems to be rearing that dark head of his & Sharon isn't as sweet as she looks either. There's only one thing I would like to see changed, tone down the music as you can't hear what anyone says when you try to listen to the interviews. Keep up the good work. I don't miss a day of the Y&R. Love you guys.

  • Posted by Lori | June 23, 2008 12:08 PM

    HOT! I think Nick is on top of things and should be running the whole show. It was his and Phillis's idea anyway... Love this web site

  • Posted by Ashly | June 23, 2008 10:55 AM

    I love her style. I give her props for wanting to and managing to look amazing ALL the time. I couldn't possibly do it. Her style and music are a refeshing blast. Finally non-cookie cutter. I would buy this issue before the first one soley based on the cover. Keep up the good work!

  • Posted by Summer | June 23, 2008 8:11 AM

    Katy's look is HOT! I would rock anything she wears! Restless Style this cover is HOT! Great choice Nick!

  • Posted by Crystal | June 22, 2008 9:16 PM

    Yes I love the magazine, and the cover! I agree that you need to stop bumping heads on the decisons, and bring your hometown girl Lily babck!

  • Posted by Michael | June 21, 2008 8:55 PM

    Young, Funky, Fresh
    Some of the words that describe Katy Perry. Keep it up, looking forward to see more of you.

  • Posted by Angela | June 19, 2008 1:07 PM

    Katy is great I hope she goes far and you all did good so stop bumping heads already and come up with something and do it bring Lilly back to.
