"Amusing insider's skewing of the publishing industry"
For five years Vig Morgan has worked on Fashionistas, a
magazine devoted to telling readers nothing about celebrity
fashion. Vig survived a maniac boss and is now an
associate editor in a pool of killer sharks also known as
peers. A new Editor in Chief Marguerite with a zillion other names
lifted from her ex spouses Holland takes charge. Ruthless
Jane McNeil is irate because she felt the job should have
been hers. Other associates want Vig to be the point of
the revolution because publisher Alex Keller owes her for
what she did for his sister. Business life could not prove
more meaningful for Vig as her work proves Seinfeld had
purpose. FASHIONISTAS is an amusing insider's skewing of the
publishing industry. The story line is humorous and at
times very satirical especially when the heroine provides
vigor to the tale. Vig is a delightful character while the
support cast will leave the audience shaking their heads.
Lynn Messina delightful moves Office Space from a financial
realm to the publishing world with the same jabbing shots
that will mean the author needs to succeed as a novelist
because retreat rights across the bridge seem nuked. Harriet Klausner
