Gentlemen Prefer Blondes: The Illuminating Diary of a Professional Lady (Warbler Classics) Anita Loos

Lorelei Lee, a blonde flapper who narrates Gentlemen Prefer Blondes in the form of a diary, complete with spelling and grammatical errors, is one of the most irresistible and memorable characters in American fiction. Acquitted of crimes by an all-male jury in her hometown of Little Rock, Arkansas, Lorelei moves to Hollywood and works in the movies where she meets Gus Eisman, a Chicago businessman, who installs her in a New York apartment. During a trip that Eisman sponsors Lorelei and her friend Dorothy spend their time Ritzing around the Continent on a gold-digging escapade that is full of intrigue, hilarity, surprise, and charm.
