Dressing inappropriately for my book launch

party pics + your invitation to a free virtual webinar on accessing creative intuition!

These days, book launches often scan closer to Victorian rest home vs. raucous glitterati PARTY, which is why I was determined to bring some 1980s blowing-lines-with-Jay-McInerney-at-the-Odeon glamour to my Everyday Intuition book fete. And by that, I mean there was alcohol (these people come thirsty), a cheese board (they come hungry too), and cake. I wore a floor-length gold lamé gown with a high slit, which when I first took my seat made for a very different kind of party (peep show), for all but a moment. All to say, not so so crazy, but more a reflection of the famine of beauty in the book world these days!

Anyway, I drove my publicist nuts for the weeks leading up to it ,with my really toeing the line emails of “My vision is PARTY > lame book event, but thank you so much I know you are working so hard, and publishing is in such a weird place these days!” But listen, I think all my digging in of heels was well worth it, because if I’m going to drag you off the couch on a rainy Tuesday night, you deserve some razzle dazzle, don’t you?!

basking at the after party

Just to refresh you, at my first launch my then-agent and a book subject nearly came to blows in a fist fight which my now-husband had to break up, at the second the cops came TWICE, and at this one, all the gay boys jumped up and down and said something to the effect of “You look like you should be seated in the first chair at the reunion next to Andy!” All to say, I’d spend another four years toiling in obscurity just to do it again.

This person attempted to upstage me with his Rockwellian rapscallion charms but was quickly put in this place (Gramono’s lap)

a rapt audience!

the cake!

Glam: never cheap, always worth it. The secret to beauty is $$$$$$ Anthony de los Santos and Sara Glick are miracle workers.

This is the sort of thing you do when fighting a menty b one the eve of pub day.
