review 1: Although this is a lot off-kilter, it's a riot. This guy knows how to write so that it's just hilarious. Maybe it's just me, but I can literally see all the messes, shenanigans, and mishaps as they happen. I relate. With everything that can go wrong in a fashion show it's a wonder they go off as well as they do. It's just so hilarious to hear it from the inside! This isn't going to be an important book ever, but for a hilarious light read, it's priceless!
review 2: Not nearly as funny as David Sedaris. Erudite and witty enough, but disjointed and mostly hot air. Like a latte that's all foam and froth, nothing actually drinkable. For example, he ends a story about his purportedly haunted, wreck of an apartment by saying how great it ended up after he and... more "his husband" filled it with all kinds of "amazing color" via pieces by Joathan Adler. Uh, HELLO!!! His husband IS Jonathan Adler, so...... wtf!?! Is he just playing coy or what??? Not appreciated, dude. less
