This is a memoir written by fashion designer, Vicki Tiel. Vicki was a student at Parsons when she rebelled against the conventional system and started designing her own clothes. Along with a friend, she left New York for Paris. Vicki's tales are larger than life. She claims responsibility for the fads of the mini skirt, the hot pants and many others. Vicki was a wild girl of the '60's, experimenting with drugs and men. She finally met a man who was involved in movies and spent years with Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton, travelling in their entourage through Europe. Her tale continues after her marriage ends and she goes to Florida where she hooks up with a new man. It was all a little bit hard to believe - Vicki obviously believed she was one of the most beautiful women in the world who could have any man she wanted. Still, I found the book hard to put down.
Rating - B-
