WALLFLOWER AT THE ORGY

by Nora Ephron ‧ RELEASE DATE: Nov. 20, 1970

This is catchy contemporanea -- fashionable items which have appeared in Esquire, New York Magazine, etc. catering to the more sophisticated tastebud. There's an entertaining piece on Craig Claiborne and the food establishment; on that tearful triumph of Plain Girl Power, Helen Gurley Brown (""You've got to make yourself cupcakable all the time""); on that influential ""surrogate bitch"" -- Woman's Wear Daily which is full of fascinating shop talk on what the ladies spend where; on the man who is the Bill Blass suit and can ""sell the eyelashes off a hog."" Miss Ephron also follows books as well as vogues and there are profiles of Jacqueline Susann, Ayn Rand, Arthur Frommer (Europe on $5.00 a Day) and some on location shots of Mike Nichols in a Paris Review styled interview. . . . Miss Ephron claims she's always on the sidelines; save her the waltz.
