it’s a biographical essay collection about her life in los angeles in the 60s and early 70s. eve is super witty and her writing has a kind of addictive quality, it feels like you’re catching up with a friend that has been through the craziest experiences. i also adore the ambience of l.a. around this period and the descriptions of the city are so atmospheric that it makes you feel nostalgic for a time you weren’t even born. all around it’s a really fun book!

the patron saint of the sexy, intellectual, thottie and untasteful-tasteful L.A. woman. I refer to her as the bimbo Joan Didion (i mean that in the least reductive way possible) The summer i discovered this book i was working a dead end retail job on Sunset Blvd. and literally got fired for reading it on the clock. she's a genius. the blueprint.

I know nothing of her LA world, but I know about being a party girl and a proud hoe. Anything by Eve is my bible. A must for those who are sentimental and like being aimless and lost and just rolling with it.

while i do enjoy watching a movie with a friend i realized that i had all my best experiences in the movie theater while going alone. when i’m by myself i have all the time in the world to think about the movie after it’s finished and let it really sit with me.

i’m currently getting a masters degree and the amount of people that use chat gpt instead of actually searching for answers in the literature is staggering. mama let’s research it’s literally what you’re supposed to do in academia
Actually I have another hater take. Sorry but I do judge you if you use this (or any other AI chat bot because apparently there are others?) and treat it as a source of truth.....very strange behavior. I thought we all thought it was dumb but I now hear people reference it's use in common conversation/at work as if it's not weird? Why are you all feeding the beast? Can we please use our brains? Use it or lose it, baby!

Don’t leave your nice clothes and shoes or expensive make up gathering dust in your wardrobe because they’re “too nice” to wear on regular, everyday occasions. Life is mostly made of regular occasions, wear that nice dress and expensive perfume to go to the movie theater on a sunday afternoon
