Ernesto Ochoa eosfera — I was really excited when I picked up this book at the library. I've had a thing for Edith Head for a long time, so I was looking forward to finding out more about her. Reading it was a mixed experience. There were parts that were fascinating - the intrigue and machinations behind the scenes were great fun to read about. At the same time, a better editor (or perhaps just a final edit?) is needed - there are 5 or 6 passages that are used almost verbatim several times, in separate places in the book. Also, the flow of the book is a little scattered. At times, it seemed to be almost more like a string of stream of consciousness vignettes than a coherent story. I frequently found myself having to go back several paragraphs or pages to figure out who a particular person was. The nature of the book is such that many of the names were unfamiliar to me - not being a Old Hollywood geek, I don't know the names of all of the designers/assistants/minor starlets right off hand. That being said, I completely understand that it's not a book guaranteed to appeal to everyone - so the intended audience might be much more familiar with these people than I am. There was a nice set of color picture inserts, along with some sketches of particular outfits interspersed throughout the book. It would have been nice to have a lot more of these - but there well might have been copyright/legal issues with that. Overall, pretty solid. I'm considering getting Edith's own book, The Dress Doctor, as it was referenced in this book. Apparently you're to read it with a grain of salt, as a bunch of stuff was made up.

Sarah Morris sarahmorris — Well, I was again on my task of reading plays that might be good for the male prisoners to do at Washington State Penitentiary...since they refuse to do Shakespeare...and I'm not quite sure that 8 weeks of rehearsal only three days a week will be enough to pull off a Shakespeare with non-actors, but it's a moot issue because they don't want to...but anyway, finding all men plays for larger casts is difficult. This is one that I found in my research and it's wonderful. My boyfriend tells me that the monologues are well known by his sex, but I had never heard any of them, nor had I heard of the play. I'm not surprised that there is a male version of A PIECE OF MY HEART, but...anyway, it is good. I also think that there should be remounts of this production right now. I have taught a lot of guys who have come back from Iraq or Afghanistan and I think this would help them feel not so alone. That there are generations of guys who come home from war and don't understand how there are supposed to rationalize the feelings that they feel after committing acts of war. It's a complicated feeling, which I don't think I could ever fully empathize with, but...it's worth it to bring that feeling to light. I read recently that theater is the place where ambivalent and ambiguous feelings are sussed out...I'm paraphrasing O'Neill, but...I think that is what happens scene by scene and play by play...we are just trying to make sense of the human experience....alright enough babbling... The play has an episodic structure, many monologues, a great soundtrack (which you would need the rights for), and lots of fun research opportunities, including pigeon/slang Vietnamese. Anyway, it's worth it.
