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.

Two friends and I just signed up to do a three-day juice cleanse starting next Monday. This is the kind with the spinach and beets and cashew nut milk (which sounds pretty decent, not going to front). I am excited, on the one hand, to hopefully kick my cravings for all things terrible for me (mainly processed crunchy treats that come in 100-calorie pouches) and jumpstart my body into wanting only whole, natural, hunter-gatherer sort of food. But, as A. so aptly put it when I told him of our plan ” i predict lots of shit. emotional and scatalogical.”

I’m bracing myself already.
