The Shaun Proulx Show

Shaun Proulx

Many thanks to this darling man and (Canadian!) for a truly wonderful interview on his Sirius XM show: The Shaun Proulx Show.  It originally aired on CH 167 on Saturday, March 15th at 3 & 8PM and then again on Sunday at 4PM.  I was sandwiched between Betty Degeneres (Ellen’s mom) and Jared Leto’s trans acting coach Calperinia Sarah Addams.  Something delightful for everyone!  Look for it in Sirius archives and on Shaun’s website:  Shaun Proulx

I Love Target

jan29-14
On the shelf and in the Emerging Authors Section at Target
Ever since my first visit to Target while in Ohio visiting my in-laws I’ve been in love with its quality, selection and convenience.  We jokingly pronounced it Tar-jeh back then because it was far and away the classiest big box store ever.  And since, at the time, I was living in Manhattan where the closest thing was a rather crappy Lamston’s variety store on Sixth Avenue, Target seemed even more spectacular.  It was created by the Dayton-Hudson department store chain in Minneapolis and imbued with their historically stylish and trend conscious DNA.  Dayton’s is the store in front of which Mary Tyler Moore tosses her beret in the opening credits of the Mary Tyler Moore show.  It was also where my stepmother Sarah, always very stylish and classy, worked for a time.  So for all of these reasons as well as such fantastic access to new readers, I am thrilled that the beautiful Chanel Bonfire paperback can be found at Target!

Beautiful Chanel Ads in Vogue, Lucky and Allure
Gorgeous ads in the Winter glossies including the VOGUE with brilliant Jessica Chastain on the cover who would, btw, be marvelous as my beautiful but damned mother!
Many thanks to the artists and writers at Gallery Books and Simon & Schuster for the ads.  And don’t forget, the Chanel paperback is now available at Target in their Emerging Authors Section!

Happy New Year!

Happy 2014 to everyone!

I will be at the Wilshire Ebell Club on Monday, January 13th, talking about Chanel Bonfire and crazy moms and surviving childhood.  Please come.  There will be books for sale and if you already have a copy, I’d be happy to sign it or any other book you’d care to bring along.  And there’s lunch in one of Los Angeles’ most beautiful historic buildings. 

 The club was founded in 1894 and its beautiful campus and theater on Wilshire Boulevard in Hancock Park were built in 1927.  The club has hosted many luminaries included my distant cousin, Amelia Earhart.  She made her last public appearance at the club before disappearing on her 1937 around-the-world flight.  And it was at the Ebell’s theater that a young performer named Frances Gumm was discovered in a singing act with her sisters.  She was signed to a contract by MGM and rechristened Judy Garland.

The Event begins at 11:30, lunch is at noon, and the program will start at around 12:45.  I hope to see you on Monday!  Follow the link for directions and information on ticket!
