Super Vixens' Dymaxion Lounge

Vixen970820 Ten years ago, I wrote a book of essays titled Super Vixens' Dymaxion Lounge about life in 1990s Los Angeles. Although it is not a beauty book, there is quite a bit of lipstick throughout, some of it worn by me, some by Nancy Sinatra and Esther Williams. Eartha Kitt's eyelashes make an appearance as well. As do a fair assortment of nudists, masochists, drag queens, an earthquake and at least one handgun. The book was originally published by Buzz Books, an imprint of St. Martin's Press, and by Indigo Press in the UK.

I'm happy to announce that, as part of an experimental new publishing venture brought to you by the creators of Jack & Hill (ie, me and Jackie), Super Vixens' Dymaxion Lounge is appearing in a new online edition, with a fresh chapter going up every week. A new print edition is soon to follow. And unlike most books, this one has comments, so go read chapter one and say something pithy. Pithy enough and you might make the new book jacket!

About


  • What do you get when you throw a true beauty obsessive in Europe together with a veteran beauty journalist in LA? Not much room on the bathroom shelves, that's for sure. Make-up, hair products, skincare, perfume, salons, spas, luxury hotels with toiletries and treatments that make us never want to go home - if we've left anything out, you can pry our mirrors from our cold, dead, perfectly manicured hands.
