I am a citizen of the Internet through and through.

Three things to know about me:
1) Rihanna's life choices have more impact on my day than my own.
2) I plan to serve Popeye's Chicken at my wedding.
3) I pray to Oprah every day for a Lindsay Lohan comeback, and when that doesn't work, I shed a single mascara-coloured tear drop on my DVD copy of Mean Girls and then go about my day.
What is unique that's not in your bio?
I'm actively working towards my future as a Kardashian. My legal name change from "Corinne" to "Korinne" is pending.
What's your favorite accomplishment?
Applying for a job in New York, interviewing for said job in New York, and starting said job in New York in under 48 hours. Coincidentally the same amount of time it took me to watch every episode of Dawson's Creek on Netflix – my second favorite accomplishment!
How do you define cool?
My cat usually does that for me.
What is your secret to uncovering trends?
Kylie Jenner's Instagram.
What do you enjoy most about Trend Hunter?
Having a community of people who don't feel the need to choose between Beyonce and Rihanna. That's like choosing between Jesus and God.
What is your favorite trend?
I once wrote a trend on art that looks like female genitalia. Somebody tweeted it at me two years later as if it were still current – at which point it occurred to me, vaginas become more relevant over time!
What are your tips for writing a juicy post?
I find my juiciest posts come out when I put on my favorite pair of pink terrycloth jogging pants. They have the word "Juicy" embroidered across the bottom.
How do you reset to be creative?
I find reality television writers to be incredibly inspiring.
What inspires or excites you?
Women doing awesome things (dot tumblr dot com)
Predict something awesome for 2020?
Wasn't the Jetson's set in the year 2020? I don't see the flying car coming to fruition quite yet, but I suppose there will be a new iPhone out...
