The Overnight Socialite - [Used]

Εκδοση:2009 Σελίδες:344 Καλή κατάσταση. Περιγραφή: In this beguiling retelling of the classic Pygmallion, we meet Lucy Ellis, a Manhattan transplant who dreams of making it as a fashion designer but instead toils away on a Garment District assembly line. Poor Lucy is starting to think the unthinkable: maybe it's time to pack it in and move home to Minnesota. Then, during a torrntial downpour, at her most bedraggled and disheartened, Lucy meets Wyatt Hayes IV, man-about-town and bored Ph.D. anthropologist. Wyatt has just been publicly dissed by New York's reigning socialite and boasts to his best friend that he can transform any woman-even a trailer-born nobody like Lucy- into this year's "it" girl. Set against the gold-plated world of Manhattan's social elite, The Overnight Socialite, a media sensation in its own right, puts a witty tewnty-first century spin on a timeless story of transformation and unlikely love.
