Description

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.
Sample Book Insights:
#1 I was born in a now-torn-down hospital on the edge of tony Georgetown in Washington, D. C. My parents, Alma and William Carroll Talley, took me to my grandmother’s house in Durham, North Carolina, the center of the tobacco industry. I lived with my great-grandmother China.
#2 I had a very sheltered childhood, and I loved it. I spent my days reading magazines and books, and my nights dreaming about meeting celebrities and living a life like the ones I saw in the pages of Vogue.
#3 I was in awe of Jackie Kennedy, the wife of John F. Kennedy, when I saw her at the inauguration in 1962. I learned about the Stanford White moldings, painted white, from 1902, and the images of American buffaloes on the marble fireplace.
#4 I was a devoted Francophile growing up, and I loved watching Julia Child on television. I took four levels of French, from junior to senior high school, and I majored in French studies at North Carolina Central University.

#1

Iwas born in a now-torn-down hospital on the edge of tony Georgetown in Washington, D. C. My parents, Alma and William Carroll Talley, took me to my grandmother’s house in Durham, North Carolina, the center of the tobacco industry. I lived with my great-grandmother China.

#2

I had a very sheltered childhood, and I loved it. I spent my days reading magazines and books, and my nights dreaming about meeting celebrities and living a life like the ones I saw in the pages of Vogue.

#3

I was in awe of Jackie Kennedy, the wife of John F. Kennedy, when I saw her at the inauguration in 1962. I learned about the Stanford White moldings, painted white, from 1902, and the images of American buffaloes on the marble fireplace.

#4

I was a devoted Francophile growing up, and I loved watching Julia Child on television. I took four levels of French, from junior to senior high school, and I majored in French studies at North Carolina Central University.

#5

I was a fashion addict, and I loved to dress extravagantly. I would wear kabuki makeup like Diana Vreeland, and I would wear expensive clothes. I had two separate lives: the one at Brown, where I studied, and the one at RISD, where I made friends with Jane Kleinman and Reed Evins.

#6

I was hired to work at the Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, where Diana Vreeland was hiring volunteers to assist with her curation of an epic exhibit: Romantic and Glamorous Hollywood Design. I was left to my own devices, and I quickly figured out the complex puzzle pattern.

#7

I was a volunteer at the Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute in 1974, and I learned to speak the language of style, fantasy, and literature from Diana Vreeland. I tried working as a receptionist at the ASPCA, but it was too tragic. I was sleeping on the floor of my friend Robert Turner’s studio, but he was out of town for Christmas.
Insights from Chapter 2

#1

I began working as an assistant for Andy Warhol’s Interview magazine in January 1975. I was just a glorified receptionist, but I was still able to meet many famous people.

#2

When it came time to assign fashion stories, I was the go-to fashionista in the office. My knowledge and passion in this area were recognized and I was quickly promoted to fashion editor. I now had the opportunity to interview some of the most exciting stars of society, fashion, and international jet-set acclaim.
