Summary: The Crasher
Review: A fascinating look at not only the fashion industry, but the New York society scene as well. I found this book difficult to put down, once I began. Reminded me of Dominick Dunne's writing.

Summary: If you like fluff
Review: I rented this book on tape from my local library. I'm going to nab the $1.50 used version right now if I can. I am interested in fashion and I learned some interesting things about the industry like the fact that clothes are cut by huge machines. That way they cut more than one copy at a time. I did NOT like the racial slurs. The references to foreign cab drivers was very distasteful in my book. Those types of innocent comments turn my stomach. There was another reference to someone's figure that wasn't perfect. I mean come on this was written in 1998 has Shirley Lord every heard of Sophie Dahl? Models now come in plus size. If you work in an office and can get this book on tape from your local library I recommend it especially if you're interested in fashion. The Ginnie character was a bit too dumb in my opinion. I guess it's a snap shot of Ms. Lord's sheltered world view. If you can stomach it I suppose it makes for an interesting read or listen.
