The wonderful thing about living in a teeny, tiny place, as I might have mentioned previously on this blog, is that when a celebrity comes to town to promote something, you actually get a very good shot at meeting them. Such was the case two years ago with Orlando Bloom, and five years ago with Jessica Alba (back when I had no clue who she was - sorry, Jess).
And this time, it's CANDACE BUSHNELL.
THE Candace Bushnell.
She'll be reading from her latest release, One Fifth Avenue, at our local Books&Books.
The best part? An after party at a swanky resto-lounge around the corner from the bookstore.
I bought my copy of the book this morning, which came with a ticket to the signing/after party, and I started reading. I have to say, this one sounds like it's going to be different from the previous few efforts. It seems Bushnell gets more complex with every book, which I suppose is a trend that makes sense. She also seems to have branched out from the fashion/modeling/Hollywood backdrop into... you guessed it... Hedge Fund Accounting (well... insofar as you can for something that's supposed to be entertaining).
In a recent interview where I was asked to explain why I'd given up on fashion after such a brief stint in the industry, I did that, among many other reasons, I missed the "glamour" that came with international finance.
I guess I wasn't the only one who's made the unlikely connection...
Here's an interview with Ms Bushnell. Happy Monday.

Oh, what fun! Enjoy the signing and the party. Don't forget to let us know how it goes...
BTW, I did NOT know about the Orlando Bloom meeting!!! Would love to hear about THAT, too :).
Lucky you! It must be a great perk after all that ruddy sunshine to get to rub elbows. Tell us all after you check her out, especially the shoes!
Check out the Orlando post on December 3rd, 2006.
Have I been blogging that long? Wow. I'm impressed with myself.
Audrey - I am notorious for forgetting my camera, but I'm trying to think of ways to remind myself this doesn't happen... it's on a Saturday night so can't use the nifty, reliable Outlook calendar at the office... maybe Yahoo has one??
I just read it!! Thanks for telling me where to look. I need to send some serious O.Bloom fans I know to your blog so they can live vicariously...
And your sister! How hilarious--quizzing Orlando on the Middle East :). Gotta love that!
