Wacky Chicks: Life Lessons from Fearlessly Inappropriate and Fabulously Eccentric Women Paperback - 2005

by Simon Doonan

Doonan, the creative director of Barney's New York specialty store and author of "Confessions of a Window Dresser," celebrates the maverick lifestyle with 20 of today's most provocative and unconventional women.


Summary

In his bestselling Wacky Chicks, irreverent social commentator and humor writer Simon Doonan introduces readers to a bracing cross section of exuberantly unconventional women: comedienne Amy Sedaris; fashion designer turned park ranger Spider Fawke; Warhol muse Brigid Berlin; Suzanne Bartsch, the woman who showed Madonna how to vogue; and many more. Distinguished primarily by their wild originality and rule-breaking chutzpah, these women defy rules, shape the cultural landscape, and enrich the world. They are about as diverse a flock as you can imagine, but all of them are Belligerent, Resilient, Uninhibited, Naughty, Creative, and Hilarious (B.R.U.N.C.H. for short). In a word, they are Wacky, and they are ready to enlighten you. A book that pays tribute to the wild and unstoppable female in each of us, Wacky Chicks is the ultimate guide to embracing your inner rebel.

First line

To say Spider Fawke is a wacky chick is horribly inaccurate.
