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.

Gaaahd I love this show!!! (Fast forward two minutes to get to the dance)

I’m loving that SYTYCD is back on TV. Most people write it off as the two-stepping American Idol, but really, it’s this incredibly skilled group of people taking direction from some of our best choreographers and educating the public about different styles of dance. It’s not Merce Cunningham or Mark Morris, but it is as subversive as I think a pop culture show can be, on the high-low spectrum.
