“A girl can’t read that sort of thing without her lipstick.” Holly Golightly

April 4, 2016 by Vickie Lester

For those with lipstick, click here. #itsinhiskissbyvickielester Her book reads like “The Jet Set” episode of Mad Men, when Don finds himself immersed in the desert, in a world of modern glass, pools and morals, peopled by lovely, languid denizens whose talents lie in false conversation and relationships. Yes, the book is about Hollywood. The story is cynical, with varying scruples carried in each character’s pocket for all to see and steal. There are innocents, there are the guilty, and […]

When I wrote scripts I had an agent who, when he was pleased with what I said, or did, would say, how Audrey of you! For that alone I loved him.

How The Digital Realm Reinvented Cozy Heartwarming Kindness | Sophia Stuart

August 10, 2014 by Vickie Lester

Digital is the best thing that ever happened to women because it signals the end of the middle man and the beginning of all us being connected to one another, in a lovely and deeply practical way. Perhaps you’ve heard the phrase “Disruptive Technologies”, which was coined by Clayton Christensen, a Harvard Business School professor in 1997. Simply put, this means new technologies that enable businesses that nobody had thought of before to threaten and often destroy the old guard. […]

Cecil Beaton in Deep Focus : The New Yorker

May 10, 2014 by Vickie Lester

The Hepburn most associated with Cecil Beaton is Audrey, whose “purity and integrity,” whose “enormous understanding, tact and . . . willingness to learn” he hymned throughout “Cecil Beaton’s ‘Fair Lady’ ” (1964), the published diary of his time in Hollywood designing sets and costumes for the film version of the Lerner and Loewe musical. In “The Unexpurgated Beaton” (Knopf; $35), the diaries that the designer and photographer kept during the nineteen-seventies, his last decade, it’s the other Hepburn who […]

Wondering what to have for dinner? Well, don’t eat the ballet slippers. Here are a few recipes.

Score the outer layer of fat on a 12-ish pound ham in a diamond pattern and rub with a mixture of chopped fresh tarragon, minced shallot, course mustard and brown sugar. Stud the ham with cloves and place in a deep roasting pan. Pour half a bottle of white wine into the pan (like a Sancerre or Meursault) and cover […]
