Yes, He Painted His Nails

April 16, 1999March 25, 2012

I’m so tuckered from not doing my taxes last night and worrying about how to get them done by August 15, I need a break. So what I offer you instead today are the next three chapters of Fire and Ice, my once best-selling, now long-out-of-print, biography of Charles Revson, the man who founded Revlon. Just click “BOOKS” on the header above, then scroll down to Fire and Ice, and click “excerpt.” You should find Chapters 1 through 4.

More chapters to follow soon.

Quote of the Day

"Oil's been discovered in hell! shouts a stockbroker at the Pearly Gates. All bolt; he follows. I know why THEY'RE running, St. Peter says, but why you? Who knows, says the broker. Maybe there's something to it!"
