If you love Shirley, the cutest child star, you will definately want this in your collection. This would make a great gift too. I enjoyed this book and the outfits are great. You can dress Shirley in the outfits that you have seen her in. Remember the pink dress? She can wear it forever. Children who are two young for Shirley's time will still enjoy this product. Dress up is always fun to play...this way you don't have to clean up all your clothes from your childs room!

As everybody who's anybody knows (and the rest of us too), the most exclusive Hollywood party is Vanity Fair magazine's Oscar-night bash. Vanity Fair's Hollywood is like the ultimate movie party--and how inviting it all is! Flip through the thick, glossy pages and greet the greats of all ages. Lillian and Dorothy Gish share a spread with Blythe Danner and Gwyneth Paltrow. Ms. Deneuve, resplendent in scarlet, meet Mr. Valentino, in classy black and white. Claudette Colbert as Cleopatra, meet Liz Taylor as Cleopatra (and if it's not too catty, did you notice Claudette was better dressed?). The stunning photos are cleverly juxtaposed. Julia Roberts, posed naughtily in see-through undies in the water, is followed by a very properly attired Doris Day in a see-through skirt. Day holds six brightly dyed poodles by white leashes; the composition forms a visual rhyme with the six accusing fingers pointed at Peter Lorre in the next picture. The photo captions by Christopher Hitchens are as succinctly clever as Dorothy Parker, encapsulating entire careers in a punning paragraph. Even if you've seen a shot before, you learn things: in the most notorious still ever snapped at a Hollywood party--the one where Sophia Loren ogled Jayne Mansfield's voluminous bosom--Hitchens tells us the object of Loren's appalled regard was "the strategic dabs of makeup on [Jayne's] nipples."
Like any good party, this vast book offers sparkling talk as well as gobs of eye candy. The brilliant Peter Biskind evokes the '70s heyday of superagent Sue Mengers, D.H. Lawrence makes a stab at defining "sex appeal," Patricia Bosworth adds the patented VF dash of scandal in a piece on Lana Turner's gangster boyfriend's murder, and Hitchens gives a quickie history of the fabled Sunset Strip. Not everything rises to the august occasion: Carl Sandburg's poem about Chaplin and Clare Boothe Luce's snooty ode to Garbo are mostly of antiquarian interest. Most of the historic stuff is great (e.g., Fritz Lang directing a crowd scene in Metropolis), and the most austere cineaste should own this book. On practically every page, Vanity Fair's Hollywood dazzles. It's a keeper. --Tim Appelo
Book Description

Surrveying the brightest stars, moguls, directors, and writers, Vanity Fair's Hollywood is a stylish and definitive focus on timeless glamour, mythic beauty, and unquenchable celebrity.

Vanity Fair's Hollywood.......2005-09-05
This is truly a fantastic snapshot of Hollywood at it finest hour of every year that awards where given.
Every movie goer should have this on thier coffee table.
Not enough of the old stuff.......2002-11-01
While there were some great vintage articles and photographs, why are pages blown to show wastes like Gwyneth Paltrow, Cameron Diaz, Brad Pitt, and other I-make -money- because- of- my- looks and not acting ability "artists?" Many obscure silent and early talking stars could've and SHOULD'VE been included. But that's the way it is- nobody cares for the old. Makes a great coffee table book. Get this from the library. I was disappointed. I was done with it in one afternoon.
Great coffee table book!.......2002-09-27
This book is filled with photographs and essays about Hollywood and its stars. There is a wide variety of photographs exhibited here. My only complaint would be that they are not set up in any kind of order. A picture of Jack Nicholson playing golf on one page and then turn the page to find a picture of Joan Crawford and Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. I suppose they thought chronological or theme order would have been too predictable. My favorite photos are: Doris Day (p. 26), the essay and photo of Greta Garbo (pgs. 42-43), James Dean clowning (p. 47), Jayne Mansfield and Sophia Loren (p.158) the Malibu Beach drawing from 1933 (p.242), Sophia Loren (p. 247), Jackie Cooper and Mickey Rooney (p. 276), Loretta Young in 1935 and 1999 (pgs.292 and 293) and Olivia de Havilland (p. 310). As you can tell, my interests are toward vintage photos, but there are photos of today's celebs as well, such as Gwyneth Paltrow or Cameron Diaz and these are wonderful photos, too. The pictures in Vanity Fair are always unique and this is a great compilation.
I love this book.......2002-06-22
I have always loved movie books, and this one on the stars is great. The pictures are really fabulous, and I have spent hours looking through it and reading the text over and over again. My only disappointment is that there is not enough old Hollywood in the book. But, for new Hollywood photos and gossip, this is a primo tome.
Read in conjunction with Lynch's Mulholland Drive........2002-02-14
A delicious, witty, immensely entertaining and amusing overview of the famous and talented of Hollywood. The photos are absolutely delightful as I imagine they would be by Edward Steichen,Herb Ritts, Irving Penn and (especially) Annie Leibovitz among (many) others. The photos seem to capture the nature of the subjects - Brando so anti glamour, Anjelica Huston so assertive, and Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon on the closing page, half naked and in drag, so so ... they're just great subjects/actors. The illustrations are also great as is the prose by Dorothy Parker, P.G. Wodehouse and others. The only disappointment is that in paperback the binding is so fragile that the weight of the pages pulls the book to pieces. My copy has broken completely away from the covers, and not from any rough handling. In hardcover this is a five star enterprise, perhaps one of the best I have seen considering the thousands of books that are associated with that place.

Customer Reviews:
well worth your money. .......2007-07-08
i absolutely love this book! if you like rock and roll, then this is a must read. i hope one day there's a second volume released, trashing more rock and roll records that are considered classic. hooray for jim derogatis!
Missing the point.......2006-12-31
This author (editor?) tends to review the book based upon stereotypes generated from the albums present day status (which I think they were trying to avoid?), rather than actually listening to the album. Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon was not a drug induced coma, but a leap forward in music technology/production and lyrical creativity. That is just one conflict I have with the authors. While they are amusing and I got a few laughs, at times they do not even talk about the album (Rumours?) but rather rant about nothing. Most of the albums they choose to review are not great for just lyrics, but the COHERENT organization of sound. Put, aside any misconcepts, I dare anyone to match the bass on Sgt. Pepper, the hammond organ on Dark Side of the Moon, or the arrangments on Pet Sounds, all of which put music technology where it is and raised the bar of music/lyrical awareness. Do not buy is book, it is a weak attempt at music journalism and will insult its readers.
It's fun, until it's not.......2006-10-07
In "Kill Your Idols," Jim DeRogatis finds fellow rock critics to contribute scathing reviews of rock albums, most of which are widely considered to be classics. At first, this makes for some fun reading, unless it's an album that you particularly like that's being raked over the coals, often by one who doesn't seem to be terribly knowledgable about that artist or album in the first place. Right away, you can tell that the reviews are not really all that interesting or insightful, just exceptionally negative. And some of the reviews are simply absurd, such as, to name one of many examples, referring to Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon," as a bad album. Not over-rated mind you, just plain bad. A complicated album that didn't have one single, yet managed to stay on the charts for 14 years and influence countless artists, well I guess all those people and favorable critics who believed it to be one of the greatest of all time were just plain deluded.
Some of the reviews are more amusing than anything else. I liked, for instance, Adrien Brijbassi's description of his agony when he attempted to slow dance at his prom with a girl he liked to "Stairway to Heaven." He then ruins his review though, by making the outrageous claim that "Led Zeppelin 4" is too derivative to be considered classic. Other reviews can only be characterized as mean-spirited. In his review of "Rumours," Jim Walsh seemed to find it funny to "fantasize" about sneaking into a Fleetwood Mac concert with a sniper rifle. Sure, a record like "Born to Run" is full of bombast as David Sprague suggests, but in the end, the songs are wonderful. By the way Steve Knopper: Roger Daltry belts out the chorus of "I'm Free" in the movie version of "Tommy," not the superior studio version. Before you tell us how bad a classic album is, at least get your facts straight.
Many of these reviewers, who incidentally, list their top ten albums in an appendix (which often include albums lambasted by another in the book), regurgitate a particular theme of rock-and-roll that I can't stand, namely that "black" music (the blues) is somehow more "genuine" than "white" music (rock). Besides being borderline racist, the fact is that most of the great rock bands, whether black, white or other, played blues-based music, as well as music that has been variously characterised as psychedelia, art rock, progressive rock, etc. One is not better than the other, just different. Another particular theme, just as misguided, is that a rock song or album has merit only if the lyrics are rebellous against society.
In the end, "Kill Your Idols," contains mostly uninspired critiques of mostly great albums that tell us more about that particular reviewer than it does about the album being discussed. Some of it's fun, but about two-thirds of the way through, the mostly undeserved negativism started bumming me out, and I wanted to lash out at the writer about how pretentious and presumptuous he/she was being by attempting to "kill" one album or another adored by so many fans and other, more thoughtful, rock critics.
C'mon, Baby, Light My Fire........2006-09-16
This is about rock and roll. I was a teeny-bopper when rock and roll started if you call Elvis Presley and Jerry Lee Lewis rock and roll. Elvis sang gospel and songs from the movies he appeared in, in addition to songs his mother liked. I did not enjoy his hip-swiveling on television. Jerry Lee Lewis was more honky-tonk than rock and roll, I think. Others mentioned in this book like the Louvin Brothrs, Hank Snow, Webb Pierce, Charlie Daniels, Kenny Rogers, and Jim Nabors were more country, and John Tesh was alternative piano.
Throughout the years of rock and roll, I have liked some of their songs, but not the groups particularly. The Doors best knwn, "Light My Fire," I could tolerate, to the surprise of my teenaged sons. I liked "Pinball Wizard" from 'Tommy' because they played it with the high school band, as they did "Band of Gold." Not the one I like in the Fifties, it was totally different as night from day. I had no idea until I perused this book that Pink Floyd had recorded "Wish You Were Here" between Eddie Fisher and Michael Feinstein. Probably not the same song at all.
Because music as they played it exists in the present, it's the sound, rhythm, melody and words of the era they projected, as did the folk singers in their time. For us who loved pop music, it had only the lyrics and musical arrangement to make us happy. "OK Computer" was a 'conceptual manifesto about technology-induced emptiness, and alienation." That's what Charles Manson used the White Album of the Beatles for to control his hippie group out in California.
It's sad that these editors and contributors used this means to demean rock music. I know someone who says he loves the names of the groups and the titles while all the time he is making fun of them and sometimes even makes up the titles. Why should a group publish demeaning things, as reviews are supposed to be "good" as opposed to "bad," but what can you say when the book is bad, also. That is a conundrum if there ever was one.
For the underdog.......2006-03-06
Wow. I read this book and then, on a whim, decided to see how it fared among other readers. I must admit my simultaneous surprise yet non-surprisedness at the anger/low marks of the reviews.
...it seems people just can't take a slam against Sgt. Pepper.
That's not to say I dislike Sgt. Pepper, but it seems people generally are not too fond of reading a negative review of something they (and millions of others... you're not special...) hold sacred. Many of the albums absolutely SLAMMED in this book were, and still are, favorites of mine. I may not agree with the negative marks against some albums, but it helps me to unerstand why people may not like things.
Hell, as a self-minded conquistador on my own musical journey, I could empathize with the near-blasphemous status of hating anything by Springsteen or Patti Smith, two "artists" who particularly grate on my last dangling nerves. To also identify with stepping out of the canon, I could understand why people had disdain towards albums I like as well as those I don't.
The reviewers' disagreement with your own personal beliefs does not take any merit away from the book. MAYBE someone other than you hears an album differently. Accept it and move the hell on with it.
Yet do so with a sense of acceptance. No matter what, the fact is you have heard of each album in this book for some reason or another. THe most underlying reason, of course, is that there are a hell of a lot more people who consider these albums classic than those who don't. If the bee in your bonnet about this book is the fact that these records got slammed, just remember that this book is an affront to the popular music "canon," meaning that although the reviewer in the book does not like the album (and is respectfully entitled to his or her own opinion), there are obviously a lot more people who do, or else you would not have heard (of) them.
Book Description
"My grandparents valued freedom, but even more they valued opportunity. They appreciated America for that gift."--Bill Eckhardt, a third-generation German American. Descendants of German immigrants form the largest single ethnic group among the United States population today. They came to this country as farmers and craftspeople, students, teachers, and laborers, and today they count among their descendants Presidents of the United States, sports stars, entertainers, scientists, writers, and businessmen. In fact, German American influences are so deeply embedded in the culture of the United States that many people are unaware of their origins. Hamburgers and hotdogs, American kindergarten ("children's garden" in German), most of the customs we associate with Christmas, and even the Easter bunny and his eggs all spring from the German American community. The German American Family Album traces the growth of that community from the first German to reach the New World in the year 1000 (his name was Tyrker and he was a companion of the Scandinavian seafarer Leif Eriksson) to the 7 million German Americans in this country today. In their own words--from diary entries, letters, interviews, and personal reflections--and with photographs and clippings culled from family archives and the press of the day, we learn of their life in the old country, of the decision to leave home, the often wretched trip to America, and the new life they found once they got here. Their three-centuries-long history of achievement in the United States is a moving and inspirational story. To see it and hear it through the eyes of the immigrant is an experience that makes history personal and immediate.

Book Description
Turn the pages of your family scrapbook or picture album and faces and memories leap out at you. Even if you never knew or don't remember some of your relatives, the snapshots and keepsakes make them familiar, and the old family stories never fail to bring a laugh and a warm memory. Now turn
through the albums of other families--many other families--and see their grandfathers' and great-grandmothers' faces and read their stories. Why did they leave the old country? How did they get to America? What did they do when they got here? Why did they live the way they did? What did they think
of the new homeland? What did other people think about them? How did they get along? The family album holds some of the answers.
The American Family Albums tell the multicolored and often heroic stories of American immigrant groups, largely through their own words and pictures. Like any family album or scrapbook, the pages contain many period photographs and other memorabilia. These join with original documents--including
selections from diaries, letters, memoirs, and newspapers--to bring the immigrant experience vividly to life. Each book is a pictorial and written record of the "old country" left behind, the journey to America, the life that the newcomers made for themselves in their adopted country, and the
group's contributions to the brilliant diversity of these United States.

A must-read for anyone interested in politics!.......2007-01-09
Michael S. Cummings' view on political correctness is a welcome breath of fresh air for everyone on the left. I, for one, never thought that PC did anyone good. Now there's someone in the know (Cummings is a former chair of political science at the University of Colorado in Denver) who lays it all out as to why. In a nutshell, it's because PC done against people by the left is no better than what the right does to the left on a regular, daily basis. Cummings' views on affirmative action and child empowerment are also laid out in this book.
This book is a must-read for anyone who is a political science major (like me), any journalist, or simply any American who's mildly interested in politics and society.
Antidotes for Ideological Chauvinism.......2005-01-31
My summation of the author's general recommendation about the problem with political correctness is 'fairness and moderation in all things.' Yet this book provides much more to the discerning reader. The topic of political correctness is very important in any effort to create or recreate moral, ideological and practical responses to the right wing, conservative, fundamentalist perspective or paradigm that now holds sway over America. Michael Cummings provides an eminently insightful emphasis upon issues related to the family, and in the process leads the reader to understandings of how 'family' can be and needs to be expressed as a progressive issue, just as energetically as has the conservative right claimed the topic for its own agenda. The author also introduces a limited range of other contemporary cultural issues, such as affirmative action, ecology and racism in the context of how they may most effectively be addressed from a progressive perspective within the public opinion arena.
I look forward to similar depth of treatment for economic and religious topics of political correctness as the author provides in this book for the cultural issue of family, toward getting progressive perspectives on all of these topics introduced on public policy agendas!
Why does the political left staunchly defend divisive issues.......2001-09-07
Beyond Political Correctness: Social Transformations In The United States is a loud wake-up call. Why does the political left staunchly defend divisive issues such as affirmative action, while compromising on more central issues? This book takes a harsh look at what it means to be "politically correct"; at the same time, it does not spare the metaphorical rod in regarding the "self-serving, hypocritical right." Beyond Political Correctness is a scathing tell-all on how conceptual sacred cows interfere with sensible politics. Author Cummings calls for U.S. culture and institutions, down to the family, to be transformed so that individuals may pursue their interests without compromising the public good. His approach is controversial, yet persuasively argued in a book that is meant to be challenged, debated, and closely reread. Engaging and thought-provoking, Beyond Political Correctness raises the most crucial questions in the hardball politics of Left vs. Right.
Too PC or not too PC? That is the question........2001-08-27
The answer? Who cares! Academic works about non-academic topics like "Political Correctness" are a complete waste of time.
