"My brain feels like a Slurpee, a delicious Slurpee." Spend a little time with Katy Perry and you get used to comments like that. Underneath that stunning exterior lies a delightfully eccentric, delightfully cracked individual.
And even if she wasn't those things, she'd have every right to be freeze-brained at the moment because almost as you read this, One of the Boys, Katy's debut pop album is "dropping" (as in appearing in music stores on land and online). Perry is over the moon to say the least, and also experiencing the baptism-by-fire that goes with being "launched" on an enthused public.
"I didn't know it was possible to be this available to the world," she says of the back-to-back interviews, appearances, photo shoots, and meet-and-greets demanded of a young, hot artist. And that's only the beginning; she's booked for the entire Van's Warped Tour (warpedtour.com) which starts June 20, in Pomona, CA, winds its way through the Southern half of the U.S. to the East Coast, up the Eastern Seaboard, swings back over the northern half of the U.S., down the Pacific Coast, ending in Carson, CA on August 17.
That's a whole lot of ground to cover in eight weeks with a minimum of 50 other acts as well as a variety of special guests.
"Looking at my schedule, I think I've got about four days off in the next six months," she observes. That kind of demanding schedule is actually what prompted this month's fashion story concept "Rock That Frock" i.e. how to take a dress from prim to punk and back again.
She's thrilled with the results and thrilled with her grueling schedule. "I've been gearing up for this," she explains. "I'm so happy the album is finally coming out."
She will be even happier if Boys proves as popular as her first two singles "I Kissed A Girl" and "Ur So Gay," both of which you can check out at myspace.com/KatyPerry if you haven't heard them already.

OMG I HEART RESTLESS STYLE!!!! Jack, Nick, Sharon and Phyllis, you totaly ROCK as a super stellar team!

best choice on their part!
she is so pretty and i love her song!!!
nick and phyllis know what's edgy and what's in
and Katy Perry is!
chill out jack and sharon she was perfect for the cover!
I love the photo shoot!!!!!! I think the decision was a good one but all the added ideas made it a great one!!! I think if the four players would became a team with trust and understanding they could rule the magazine world! I hope they can get it together. Can't wait for the next one!
Katy Perry just hit it big in my Canadian city today - but I already knew her from The Young and the Restless! LOVE it!
Way to go Nick and Phyllis. Jack and Sharon need to get with the program. I love your cover. Keep up the good work. I will be looking forward to your next issue.
AMAZING coverr !!!
it was freakin amazingg. iunno what jack and sharron were talking about it. if they wanna make an old fashioned magazine than go and make an old peoples magazine. teens buy magazines more than older people due to gossip, funny stories, and most deffinately fashion. i agree with nick and phylis on the coverr !!!
well done you twoo =)
I love you guys...edgy and not boring! I am sooo tired of those skinny perfect models on the front of those other magazines...I may actually wear this. Jack got his way on the first cover...not bad...Nick and Phyllis....waaaaay better. Like your vision!
Love it!!! This is perfect! You introduced Katy Perry to me and since hearing the song on the show I downloaded it and love it! Great cover way to go Nick and Phyllis!! Greatest couple ever!
I agree WAY AWSOME COVER, BEST YET!!!!!!!!! Kudos Nick and Phyllis, Jack just needs to chill out he is getting annoying. He doesn't know fashion. Keep it up!!!!!!!!
Shots are amazing, she's gorgeous and has personality. Not just another boring pretty face. Nick and Phyllis are more in touch with upcoming trends, this is a homerun to me. Jack and Sharon need to step back and stop pushing their overly conservative style onto everyone before they kill this magazine.
I have to admit, I had doubts about the song- "I kissed a girl" at first.. but,, the more I hear it, the more I love it!!! I went to Katy Perry's web site, and my space, and I just love her!! She's awesome, great style, great voice!! Great move using her as Restless Style's second model!!! and at just the right time!! Way to go!! How are you going to top this next month?
I agree! I love the cover and the cover model!! Well done Restless Style!
Very pretty with just the touch of edgie everyone is looking for and Jack needs to Chill out nothing wrong with the cover
