Synopsis

Lola Santisi is a twenty-six-year-old member of Hollywood royalty. She suffers from twin afflictions: Actorholism (an addiction to hunky actors) and CDD (Career Deficit Disorder). In her latest gig as a Hollywood Ambassador, she's been engaging in L.A.'s cruelest blood sport: convincing celebrities to wear her designer's gowns to the Oscars.

Lola's first best friend is Kate, a talent agent desperate to go from unter to über by any means necessary; her other BFF is Cricket, a model/actress eager to move beyond her role as a coma victim on a TV hospital drama. Together they dodge fashion roadkill while navigating the GM Fashion Show, the Gagosian dinner at Mr. Chow, Barry Diller's and Diane von Furstenberg's pre-Oscar picnic, and the exclusive Vanity Fair Oscar party, where the time on your invitation marks how far in or out you really are.

When the sun rises at Patrick Whitesell's even more exclusive after-after Oscar bash, who will be left standing in her stilettos?

Donekle zabavan chick-lit koji ismijava Hollywood i uobražene, plitke i površne filmske i modne zvijezde. Ništa posebno, ali ima svojih trenutaka duhovitosti.......more

Goodreads review by Cat

This was good plane reading because the plot is well constructed. The conclusion brings together all the strands of the narrative in a satisfying way. One thing that bugged me a little is that most of humor absolutely relied on celebrity name-dropping. I enjoyed that aspect of the book (I know a lot......more

Goodreads review by Marnie

I anticipated Celebutantes to be along the lines of The Devil Wears Prada, which I admit I thoroughly enjoyed. It wasn’t. That’s not to say that there were not enjoyable parts. I laughed out loud a couple of times, which always counts for something. Celebutantes provides satirical insight into Holly......more
