Biography
[edit]Kennedy met photographer Mark Hunter (who goes by the alias "The Cobrasnake") at a Blood Brothers concert at the El Rey Theatre in Los Angeles in the summer of 2005. He took some photographs of her for his website and they exchanged phone numbers. In January 2006, Kennedy began an internship at his office, to fulfill a requirement from her high school for graduation.[1] Hunter's website featured photos of celebrities at various parties, to which he began bringing Kennedy. Consequently, Hunter and Kennedy began dating with the approval of her parents.
In December 2005, Hunter had posted photos of Kennedy with the title "JFK CORY KENNEDY", which began speculation that she was somehow related to the Kennedy family, which she is not.[1] By April, Hunter claims that he had noticed that every time he posted photos of Kennedy on his site, the web traffic from fashion community sites would spike. Hunter quickly realized that Kennedy had the potential to be a star.[1] That month, as the Kennedy-Levin family visited New York City on vacation, Kennedy and Hunter visited the offices of Nylon magazine, the editor-in-chief of which was a friend of Hunter's. The very next day she was in a photo shoot for an issue focused on music and MySpace, which hit news stands in June.
She was mentioned in an article about interns in The New York Times,[2] and the LA Weekly's Caroline Ryder wrote a short article about her.[3] In October, she appeared in a mock music video for Good Charlotte's "Keep Your Hands Off My Girl", directed by Nylon's editor-in-chief Marvin Scott Jarrett. The entire clip is shot from a single camera at a fixed angle, and consists of Kennedy shaking salt and pepper to the beat while eating Indian food and listening to the song on a portable music player.
Her parents had known about her exposure online but had not realized the extent to which it had grown until the June issue of Nylon appeared.
