Gentlemen prefer blondes : the illuminating diary of a professional lady
Loos, Anita, 1893-19812014
Book
This delirious 1925 Jazz Age classic introduced readers to Lorelei Lee, the small-town girl from Little Rock, who has become one of the most timeless characters in American fiction. Outrageous and charming, this not-so-dumb blonde has been portrayed on stage and screen by Carol Channing and Marilyn Monroe and has become the archetype of the footloose, good-hearted gold digger (not that she sees herself that way). Masquerading as her diaries, 'Gentlemen Prefer Blondes' follows Lorelei as she entertains suitors across Europe before returning home to marry a millionaire.
