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.

From today’s NYT:

There were two shooting incidents last night, one on Fulton Street in which two teenagers were shot, neither life threatening, and one incident on Flatbush and Fulton Street, also non-life-threatening. There was also a stabbing in the vicinity of the Atlantic Center Mall. All incidents, although not directly related, were the result of a promotion for all high school kids from several schools throughout the borough to meet at Buffalo Wild Wings for a 40-cent wing promotion.(No school today.) Although there was a huge police presence at the mall to address the condition and turn the thousands of students away and send them back home, apparently a few rogue groups managed to cause trouble while heading home.

Sent to me by M, who says, “Now, I’m sorry: I know it’s New York and everything, but 40-cent wings are just not that great of a deal.”
