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.

Vanity Fair calls the next wave of Hollywood royalty today, as that mag is wont to do every five years, and I think they are pretty much right on all fronts (although the inclusion of the Jonas Brothers at all leads me to believe that Disney and Conde are totally banging behind closed doors). But it’s not about the names, it’s about the pictures—if VF had to stand behind all of their predictions and answer to them, then whoever dropped Skeet Ulrich in here might be blushing a little about now. The point is, Mark Seliger’s photo portfolio, an ode to 1950’s beach/riviera/carnival culture coated in a pastel glaze, is just so pretty.

Enjoy.
