Lucky Bitches

This week I talked to Jaimie about reading a Jackie Collins book as sort of a fun book-club type thing. I figured maybe reading something that trashy (love!) would be easy and maybe get me to start reading again. As a person who grew up reading several books a week, the fact that I don't read anymore pains me. It's like losing touch with an old friend.

On Friday I went to the bookstore close to work in search of a Jackie Collins book. They only had two, Hollywood Wives: The New Generation, and Lethal Seduction. I chose Lethal Seduction because the title made me laugh. At the redlight leaving the parking lot, I flipped open the inside cover and read it, and when I did I knew I'd made the right decision. It has a list of characters and a brief description of each. Here's the list, and please know that I am NOT shitting you at all. All my comments are in ( ) (but of course)

Madison Castelli - The star of Jackie Collins' national bestselling miniseries L.A. Connections - returns in LETHAL SEDUCTION. (it's LETHAL!) From New York to Miami to Las Vegas.. Meet the men and women in Madison's dangerously glamorous world. (that's why I'm not glamorous. cuz of all the danger.)

Jamie Nova - a breathtakingly beautiful interior designer who catches her Wall Street husband cheating. (le gasp!)

Jake Sica - a laid-back photographer not looking for a commitment. (he's NOT looking, girls)

Natalie De Barge - a gorgeous black newscaster and Madison's best friend, whose career ambitions are matched by her sensuous appetite. (hee! sensuous appetite. I think that means slut.)

Rosarita Falcon - an ambitous and sexy would-be New York socialite with a yen to murder her husband. (I had a yen today to kill a chicken wing with my bare teeth)

Joel Blaine - the playboy son of a billionaire with an unquenchable taste for sex - in public (unQUENCHable. I'm using that in a sentence next week)

Carrie Hanlon - a top supermodel with a degree in egomania (yeah, but does she have her PhD?) and a talent for bitchery (jaimie! she said bitchery!!)

Dexter Falcon - a handsome soap star with a romantic heart (gay!) and unbeatable body (gay!!)

And my favorite...

Kimm Florian - a gay (gay!) Native American (don't litter!) detective with a dry wit and a big heart

A GAY NATIVE AMERICAN.

*LOVE*
