DESCRIPTION:
This is a savvy and viciously funny trip into a glittery, glitzy world we sure wouldn't want to live in-but by which we're more than happy to be vicariously consumed for the length of a book. They're ruthless. She's got the crème de la crème along with her for the ride, including her best friend, the fabulously wealthy heiress Julie Bergdorf, who is tres supportive of her nervous breakdown=You'll be able to dine out on how crazy you went in Paris for months-and a posse of chattering, Harry Winston-bedecked clones with whom to limo around New York. . All rights reserved. (Potential Husband)-"Have you any idea how awesome your skin looks if you are engaged?"-and the perfect butt-shaping pair of Chloe jeans. Tacky? Absolutely. From Publishers Weekly They're ravenous. Despair occasionally strikes when her latest prince turns into yet another toad, but it's nothing an invitation to an uber-exclusive Hermes sale and a gallon or so of
Clever, light, tongue-in-cheek. Sykes uses the device of a self-deceived, unreliable narrator (a technique first made famous in English literature in The Canterbury Tales) to satirize a self-absorbed, ignorant, and selfish culture. It's harder than it seems to succeed at this type of satire: most writers succumb to the temptation of having their initially blind hero/ine achieve some so. Annoying main character. Rick Wilson DMD The main character was a bit annoying. After awhile you just want the story to end.Ending was predictable.. "Three Stars" according to KS. Starts and ends on point. The author lost her way through the c niter of the novel.
You wouldn’t believe the dedication it takes to be a gorgeous, flaxen haired, dermatologically perfect New York girl with a life that’s fabulous beyond belief. Honestly, it requires a level of commitment comparable to, say, learning Hebrew or quitting cigarettes.But first, a little bit about moi. Absolutely everyone wants to be one, but it’s très difficult. For readers who adore Candace Bushnell, Tinsely Mortimer, and Lauren Weisberger comes New York Times bestselling author Plum Sykes’s sly and amusing satire—now back in print for its 10th anniversary in a gorgeous, eye-catching package, with a new foreword by the author.Bergdorf Blondes are a thing, you know, a New York craze. The gossips call me a champagne bubble of a girl. By day, I write articles for a fashion magazine. I gave up England for Princeton to my mother’s horror. I’m fluent in French, intermittently. By night, I’m on the prowl for the ultimate accessory a Bergdorf Blonde must have: an impossibly rich man with a very large diamond ring.And of course, I’m fabulous.
