Vicky Tiel started as an “it” girl of the 1960s and has had a four decade career designing clothes that make real women look fabulous. Her sexy, fresh hot pants and miniskirts were used by Woody Allen in his first movie, What’s New, Pussycat?, her classic design inspired the red dress that transformed Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman, and her creations are worn today by stars such as Halle Berry and Kim Kardashian. Tiel’s own life has been dance-the-night-away fun, from her earliest days flunking out of Parsons to design on her own, to starting a chic boutique with best friend Mia Fonssagrives in Paris, from marrying MGM’s top make-up man to becoming Elizabeth Taylor’s dear friend and part of her longtime entourage. Tiel forged her own path, and picked up some distinctive and hard-earned lessons from the rich, famous and celebrated along the way. In IT’S ALL ABOUT THE DRESS, you’ll get a glimpse of what it’s like to be Hollywood royalty (think yachts, tiny dogs, giant pearls and peanut butter sandwiches washed down with Chateau Margaux), discover the seduction secrets of the greats (from Kim Novak to Goldie Hawn to Warren Beatty), take in a little husband-hunting advice, and even learn legendary model Dorian Leigh’s recipe for gigot d’agneau sept heures. Vicky Tiel will teach you to dress like a sex symbol , cook like the owner of a French country inn, and seize what you want from the world like an American ingénue.

Allan Carr was Hollywood's premier party-thrower during the town's most hedonistic era-the cocaine-addled, sexually indulgent 1970s. Hosting outrageous soirees with names like the Mick Jagger/Cycle Sluts Party and masterminding such lavishly themed opening nights as the Tommy/New York City subway premiere, it was Carr, an obese, caftan-wearing producer-the ultimate outsider-who first brought movie stars and rock stars, gays and straights, Old and New Hollywood together.From the stunning success of Grease and La Cage aux Folles to the spectacular failure of the Village People's Can't Stop the Music, as a producer Carr's was a rollercoaster of a career punctuated by major hits and phenomenal flops-none more disastrous than the Academy Awards show he produced featuring a tone-deaf Rob Lowe serenading Snow White, a fiasco that made Carr an outcast, and is still widely considered to be the worst Oscars ever.Tracing Carr's excess-laden rise and tragic fall-and sparing no one along the way-Party Animals provides a sizzling, candid, behind-the-scenes look at Hollywood's most infamous period.

"A tantalizing aperitif?a confection of a book." --"Cleveland Plain Dealer" "One of the best reads of the season." --Billy Norwich, "Vogue" In "Party of the Century," Deborah Davis transports readers back to the Oz-like splendor of New York in 1966, where Truman Capote, at the pinnacle of his fame after the huge bestsellerdom of In Cold Blood, threw himself the party to end all parties. Everyone who was anyone wanted an invitation to Capote's "Black and White Dance," to which the guests were instructed to wear masks and just two colors--black and white. The glittering roster of guests included newlyweds Frank Sinatra and Mia Farrow, the young actress Candice Bergen, writers Norman Mailer and William F. Buckley, various international crowned heads, Kennedys, Rockefellers, Vanderbilts, and Whitneys, and style divas Babe Paley, Slim Keith, and C. Z. Guest. In this vivid and delightful narrative, Deborah Davis chronicles the social whirl of the preparation and the anticipation leading up to the party, plus the drama and excitement of the ball itself. Lavishly illustrated with photographs and drawings of the guests and their extravagant costumes, masks, and jewels designed by the likes of Halston and Adolfo, this portrait of revelry at the height of the swirling, swinging, turbulent sixties is a must for anyone interested in American popular culture and the lifestyles of the rich, famous, and talented. "Captures the spirit and significance of the occasion with new material and fresh perspective, making this a party worth crashing." --"Town & Country" "Vastly entertaining." --Liz Smith "A stylish, sparkling little volume." --"The Sunday Times" Book Review (London)

This is an in depth reference work devoted to the movie trivia game Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon. It is far better and more complete than the terrible, short book by the games creators, which was mostly pictures and empty space on the page.
