Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" And "but Gentlemen Marry Brunettes: The Illuminating Diary of a Professional Lady (Penguin Twentieth Century Classics S.) - Softcover
At the suggestion of a 'gentlemen friend', Lorelei Lee decides to keep a diary. GENTLEMEN PREFER BLONDES consists of four months' breathless, ungrammatical entries and alludes to the critical points of its heroine's past. Lorelei and her friend Dorothy vigorously pursue their education with the aid of New York's foremost intellectuals, politicians and bootleggers. The story first appeared as a serial in 'Harper's Bazaar' and the subsequent novel sold out on the first day of publication. The second installment of the diary, BUT GENTLEMEN MARRY BRUNETTES, describes Dorothy's exotic early career and demonstrates how little marriage has altered the diarist. GENTLEMEN PREFER BLONDES has been filmed twice.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Barton, Ralph (illustrator). Paperback. Lorelei Lee is just a little girl from Little Rock who takes the world by storm and teaches its gentlemen that "kissing your hand may make you feel very good but a diamond and sapphire bracelet lasts forever" Anita Loos first published the diaries of the ultimate gold-digging blonde in the flapper days of 1925 and even Edith Wharton had to agree: Gentlemen Prefer Blondes is "the great American novel" Blondes follows Lorelei and her best friend Dorothy from Hollywood to Manhattan to the capitals of Europe, pursued by eager suitors all the while. ("Paris is divine", she finds, but "London is really nothing".) In "the Central of Europe", with a new diamond tiara in her handbag, she meets a traveling American millionaire who just might be the one. So she retires her diary, but not for long, because, as she writes in the opening pages of But Gentlemen Marry Brunettes, "it is bright ideas that keep home fires burning, and prevent a divorce from taking all of the bloom off Romance" Gentlemen Prefer Blondes and its brunette sequel are together at last in a two-in-one volume, beautifully reset, with the original hilarious Ralph Barton illustrations restored throughout. Feminist humor maven, Regina Barreca, provides an introduction to what George Santyana once (smilingly) called, "the best philosophical work by an American" The incomparable adventures of Lorelei Lee, a little girl from Little Rock who takes the world by storm. Anita Loos first published the diaries of the ultimate gold-digging blonde in the flapper days of 1925. Now GENTLEMEN PREFER BLONDES and its brunette sequel are together at last in a two-in-one volume, complete with the original hilarious Ralph Barton illustrations throughout.
