book tag

i don’t usually do tagging but oh well i am in the middle of reading this pretty cool book so i thought i might as well share it!! i got tagged by persephone writes, and here’s what this little game is about:

1. pick up nearest book
2. open to page 123
3. find the 5th sentence
4. post the next 3 sentences
5. tag 5 people, and acknowledge who tagged you.

the book i’m reading is called wacky chicks by the very very fabulous simon doonan. and if you don’t know who simon doonan is, you need to smack your own bottom. he is barneys’ creative director and is one of the best examples of personal style out there.

the only bit of hipness in their hometown, we gather from their chitchat, was a boutique called bits and pieces where the flashily attired yvonne bought all her trendy traveling clothes. starved of grooviness, they have come to london in search of the “in set,” the mythical people who, yvonne claims, sleep “in six-foot-circular beds with black satin sheets” and whose every move is documented in minitrend, yvonne’s favorite magazine. their quest provides much hilarity, but most of the chuckles in the movie are derived from the girls’ catastrophic attempts to secure regular employment.

i got a little annoyed because these 3 sentences did not portray the best things about the book. but check out this slogan written on its cover:

wacky chicks: life lessons from fearlessly inappropriate and fabulously eccentric women

yes!! i love it!

i would like to tag
