The Prada Paradox - Julie Kenner

From Booklist
Kenner wraps up her smart and stylish Game series by looping back to The Givenchy Code (2005), now the title of a movie that Devi Taylor hopes will restart her acting career. Instead, it could very well end it permanently. Based on a very deadly, real-world version of the computer game Play.Survive.Win, The Givenchy Code is slated to become a box-office hit. All Devi has to do is finishing filming the romantic thriller with her costar and ex-lover.

Glamour of the Gods: Photographs from the John Kobal Foundation [GLAMOUR OF THE GODS]

Product Description

A treat for fans and scholars alike, Glamour of the Gods is a massive survey of Hollywood photo-portraiture from the industry's golden age--1920-1960. All photographs are drawn from the extraordinary archive of the John Kobal Foundation in London. John Kobal was the last century's preeminent authority on Hollywood photography, as well as the first collector (and later author) to recognize photography's decisive role in creating and marketing Hollywood stars. Studio portraits and film stills contributed greatly to the glamour of the film industry in this period, especially in the heyday of the studio system (1920-1950). It was these images, as much the films they publicized, that transformed actors and actresses into international style icons.
