Her dedication is surprising for someone who's never read a book

I wonder if she will read her own book, It WOULD be a first for her, since Victoria once stated that she hadn't read an entire book in her life...

yeah "I don't really read books" so it's rather amazing that she's writing her own.

Yeah right. Ghost writer anyone?

So far, Anna wrote the intro, Hadley wrote the text, and well-known photogs took the pictures. Ermmm ... what did she do??? Oh, that's right ... the interviews. Can't wait to see the intelligent questions she undoubtedly asked

That title reminds me of how much my ex boyfriend estimated his manhood.

What if it's a 30 point drop?

Uchina, the title gives me pause as well ...

Fashion Rules:

#1 - Chaps are a MUST in any high society womans daywear wardrobe.

#2 - Hermes makes everyone classy...even me...

#3 - Denim hotpants are always in, especially when strolling with your kids in Saint Tropez.

#4 - My clothes may look cheap, but that's because they're expensive, it's like ironic. Isabella Blow totally gets it!!

#5 - A good rule of thumb is...the flashier the better...
