Bubbly blonde Katie Coristine is one of our fashion contributors, who got her start as story producer on Canada’s eTalk on CTV. She's a self-described celebrity smut junkie, but there's much more to this so-bad-it's-actually-good Melrose Place fan:

What is your nickname, and how did you get it?

Katie
My high school nickname was K-Dawg. One of my best friends made it up and it was soooooo cool at the time, but now it makes me cringe.

ChickAdvisor
If you had to choose, who is your #1 celebrity crush?

Katie
Edward Cullen - does that count? He may be in high school, which sounds kind of sick, but (a) he’s totally like 100 and something years old, and (b) he makes me want to be a vampire. I almost think Twilight as a whole is unfair to men because it gives women this unrealistic expectation of what men are like.

ChickAdvisor
Who is your fashion Icon?

Katie
Kate Moss…She’s completely tragic, yet I’m still totally fascinated by her.

ChickAdvisor
How would you describe your closet?


Katie
Wrinkly is the only way to describe my closet. I am not what you would call a “domestic goddess”, and I have never owned an iron.

ChickAdvisor
What is one of the highlights of your life so far?

Katie
I was standing in the hall of a hotel during the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) a few years ago with my boss eating Nerds and all of a sudden we see Gwyneth Paltrow coming down the hall straight for us. My boss spills Nerds all over the floor and immediately goes down to clean them up. As she’s starting to stand up (hands filled with Nerds) Gwyneth is RIGHT in front of us…my boss mutters “want some nerds?” …to Gwyneth Paltrow. To which Gwyneth responds with a laugh and something along the lines of “nerds! I haven’t seen those since the 80’s” - A great moment!
