The Dish About Bergdorf Blondes
I'm on semi-vacation this week. (I'm tending to my other life as the moment - in Chicago.) In the airport bookstore, I was sorely tempted by Vogue mascot Plum Sykes' book, Bergdorf Blondes, but I kept remembering what all you kind readers out there wrote about it when I asked if anyone had read it a few entries back:
+ "It's the literary equivalent of Pixie Sticks! It will make your head bloat!" said one reader.
+ "Oh, it was terrible, just terrible. I'll never get those hours back," moaned another named Joan.
+ A reader named Laura wrote, "The book is like a car wreck on the highway - you know you shouldn't look, but you just can't help it."
The hilarious thing is that despite the glam trash factor, the one-liners and the anthropological detail, no one admitted to buying it. Everyone said they sat down at their bookseller and read it in one go, nested away within the covers of some more respectable publication. No doubt I'll hole up at a Borders or something one afternoon and do the same thing.
