"Sixty years later, Jaffe’s classic still strikes a chord, this time eerily prescient regarding so many of the circumstances surrounding sexual harassment that paved the way toward the #MeToo movement." -Buzzfeed When Rona Jaffe’s superb page-turner was first published in 1958, it changed contemporary fiction forever. Some readers were shocked, but millions more were electrified when they saw themselves reflected in its story of five young employees of a New York publishing company. Almost sixty years later, The Best of Everything remains touchingly—and sometimes hilariously—true to the personal and professional struggles women face in the city. There’s Ivy League Caroline, who dreams of graduating from the typing pool to an editor’s office; naïve country girl April, who within months of hitting town reinvents herself as the woman every man wants on his arm; and Gregg, the free-spirited actress with a secret yearning for domesticity. Jaffe follows their adventures with intelligence, sympathy, and prose as sharp as a paper cut.

Barbara La Marr's (1896–1926) publicist once confessed: "There was no reason to lie about Barbara La Marr. Everything she said, everything she did was colored with news-value." When La Marr was sixteen, her older half-sister and a male companion reportedly kidnapped her, causing a sensation in the media. One year later, her behavior in Los Angeles nightclubs caused law enforcement to declare her "too beautiful" to be on her own in the city, and she was ordered to leave. When La Marr returned to Hollywood years later, her loveliness and raw talent caught the attention of producers and catapulted her to movie stardom. In the first full-length biography of the woman known as the "girl who was too beautiful," Sherri Snyder presents a complete portrait of one of the silent era's most infamous screen sirens. In five short years, La Marr appeared in twenty-six films, including The Prisoner of Zenda (1922), Trifling Women (1922), The Eternal City (1923), The Shooting of Dan McGrew (1924), and Thy Name Is Woman (1924). Yet by 1925—finding herself beset by numerous scandals, several failed marriages, a hidden pregnancy, and personal prejudice based on her onscreen persona—she fell out of public favor. When she was diagnosed with a fatal lung condition, she continued to work, undeterred, until she collapsed on set. She died at the age of twenty-nine. Few stars have burned as brightly and as briefly as Barbara La Marr, and her extraordinary life story is one of tempestuous passions as well as perseverance in the face of adversity. Drawing on never-before-released diary entries, correspondence, and creative works, Snyder's biography offers a valuable perspective on her contributions to silent-era Hollywood and the cinematic arts.
Joan Fontaine, her graciously elegant name perfectly suits the beautiful blonde star of many important films of the 1940s and '50s. Ladylike and sensitive, so refined. She is the subject of a new paper doll book by artist Marilyn Henry whose artistic style perfectly captures the serene beauty that made Joan Fontaine an endearing movie heroine in many classic films, Rebecca, Suspicion and Frenchman's Creek are just some of her hits and this new paper doll book with an exquisite portrait on the cover, features 28 perfectly rendered costumes from 15 of her films. This is a book to treasure, for collectors of Marilyn Henry's Hollywood star paper books and also for fan of classic film dramas.
When stars would "take it off" in old Hollywood movies, they were still dressed! This paper doll collection is a fun way to look at the various states of "undressed" in some of our favorite classic films. Four glamorous models (three ladies and a handsome gentleman) are ready to cut-out and UNdress-up in corsets, pajamas, negligees, nightgowns, robes, slips, swimwear and even a union suit. Included are iconic costumes worn by Marilyn Monroe, Jean Harlow, Sophia Loren, Barbra Streisand and even Tom Cruise. There are 45 fashion items in all! A witty essay by artist and fashion historian David Wolfe explains how even undressed, Hollywood is a fun fashion fantasy, perfect inspiration for paper dolls!
At a pizza place in uptown Minneapolis, scenesters and a psychic try very hard to find the next cool party and a pure state of punk living in the summating year of 1989. Their overripe imaginations (and beer) bring out bizarre fatal accidents, memories of once being devil possessed, and a vengeful ghost of a hippie who had overdosed.
