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.

Sometimes it’s easy to forget what living in Brooklyn in 2010 looks and sounds like. And then sometimes it’s not. #whereismytimecapsule

Speaking of bowl cuts…we were in the dollar store yesterday and I found some old Aqua-Net from the 80s. It’s like really thick hairspray and I was thinking of doing something different with my hair at the show tomorrow night just to freak people out. Because lately it’s like “Oh, there’s the bowl cut dude.” But if I changed it up they’d be like, “Hey, where’s the bowl cut dude?” Maybe I’ll do the inverse and stick it up. We’re gonna debut our first performance of the New Kids On The Block song “Hangin’ Tough” tomorrow. It’s gonna be pretty wild.
