Rachel Profiling

Hello, I'm Rachel.

Writer/editor. New Mexican tumbleweed blown east to skyscraper country.

Right now, I am working on a book about F. Scott Fitzgerald, Sheilah Graham, and Hollywood in the 1930s. It will also contain a lot of drinking, powder blue suits, dances at the Cocoanut Grove, betrayal, gossip columns, crazy ladies, secret Jews, film lot moguls, and Dorothy Parker quips at funerals. If the world is still around then, it should be out from Random House around 2014. So let's hope the Mayans were wrong.

If you want to say hi please do. Or find me in short form, here.

verdict on romeo et juliette (philistine edition)

  • adam: well that was long, but pretty damn magical
  • rach: anna netrebko has pretty much the best soprano i've ever heard. that scene on the bed where she was writhing around in the sheets and hitting high Cs was kind of ridiculous.
  • adam: indeed. but there is something we need to discuss. romeo's ass.
  • rach: i know. that thing was...
  • adam: luscious. you can say it. it was out there.
  • rach: i never say bubble in reference to an ass, but that's what it was. i think the powder blue velour pants made it extra offensive.
  • adam: velour is never not offensive.
  • rach: bravo.
