I remember the first time Cory Kennedy walked into the NYLON office. We were looking for real girls to shoot for our MySpace summer music issue last year, and Mark the Cobrasnake brought her in. At 16, she was the youngest person in the story, but you never would have guessed her age—she had presence, and an amazing, outspoken personality. Because I live part-time in L.A. and we are both friends with Mark and Steve Aoki, I ended up hanging out with her a lot, and always found her to be really interesting and fun, and she became a regular contributor to the magazine with her popular column, Cory’s Corner. Taylor Warren also has a long history with NYLON : She started out as an unknown from New York Models who first appeared in some tiny pictures in our Mass Appeal pages, then was cast in a bigger sleepwear story, then a major fashion story in the same music issue in which Cory got her start. Since then, Taylor has really become a part of the NYLON family—her face has appeared everywhere from our MySpace T-shirts to our SXSW VIP badges: in a way, she’s become a representation of the NYLON girl. As quintessential It Girls, Cory and Taylor represent a bigger idea, which is what this issue is all about. Thanks to the Internet, a girl in the middle of nowhere can affect pop culture just as much as a starlet in L.A. can. We rounded up a whole bunch of up-and-coming models, actresses, and other creatives (see page 126) who are doing just that, and talked to them about what it’s like to be in the public eye. As always, we’ve also got some awesome new bands like Beirut and Calvin Harris (and some oldies but goodies, like Foo Fighters and Duran Duran), as well as pages and pages of the coolest fall fashion and beauty. That’s It. MARVIN SCOTT JARRETT, EDITOR-IN-CHIEF http://myspace.com/thespintoband http://myspace.com/harlemshakes http://myspace.com/theclienteleofficial
