Newshounds , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 210min

News for All, Justice for the Innocent and Weak! That is the masthead of The Partisan and the mission of its keepers in Pro Se Productions' action-packed tribute to the printed press - Newshounds! Dogged reporters, crusty editors, copyboys, and cub photographers with dreams of grandeur. Pressmen who know the city lives and breathes by what they print. Characters like editor Red Dillinger, reporters Viv Bailey and Ted Boland, photographer Margie Haviland, and more all work for The Partisan, a 1950s paper partial to the common man, to righting the wrongs done against the housewives and the blue collars! And this gaggle of hard-bitten, hard-fighting men and women are known near and far to those who love them and those who wish to see them dead! Do no wrong in their city unless you want it covered by the Newshounds! Started in 1930 to stand up for the little person and to protect the rights of the rightless, The Partisan has always been the paper that focused on both accurate news reporting and standing up for the common citizen against crime and corruption of all types. This led to a style of writing both factual and fiery that the paper is known for. Authors Kevin Paul Shaw Broden, Shannon Muir, and J. Walt Layne bring life to the chaotic adventures of a larger-than-life newspaper staff in this three-story collection. Only two types of people work at The Partisan - those truly interested in standing up for truth and justice and what's right...and those with a death wish or nowhere else to go. Either way, they make great stories for Pro Se Productions' Newshounds! ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: John P Scofield.

The Chiffon Trenches (eBook, ePUB)

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the pages of Vogue to the runways of Paris, this deeply revealing memoir by a legendary style icon captures the fashion world from the inside out, in its most glamorous and most cutthroat moments. "The Chiffon Trenches honestly and candidly captures fifty sublime years of fashion."-Manolo Blahnik During André Leon Talley's first magazine job, alongside Andy Warhol at Interview, a fateful meeting with Karl Lagerfeld began a decades-long friendship with the enigmatic, often caustic designer. Propelled into the upper echelons by his knowledge and adoration of fashion, André moved to Paris as bureau chief of John Fairchild's Women's Wear Daily, befriending fashion's most important designers (Halston, Yves Saint Laurent, Oscar de la Renta). But as André made friends, he also made enemies. A racially tinged encounter with a member of the house of Yves Saint Laurent sent him back to New York and into the offices of Vogue under Grace Mirabella. There, he eventually became creative director, developing an unlikely but intimate friendship with Anna Wintour. As she rose to the top of Vogue's masthead, André also ascended, and soon became the most influential man in fashion. The Chiffon Trenches offers a candid look at the who's who of the last fifty years of fashion. At once ruthless and empathetic, this engaging memoir tells with raw honesty the story of how André not only survived the brutal style landscape but thrived-despite racism, illicit rumors, and all the other challenges of this notoriously cutthroat industry-to become one of the most renowned voices and faces in fashion. Woven throughout the book are also André's own personal struggles that have impacted him over the decades, along with intimate stories of those he has turned to for inspiration (Diana Vreeland, Diane von Fürstenberg, Lee Radziwill, to name a few), and of course his Southern roots and ongoing faith, which have guided him since childhood. The result is a highly compelling read that captures the essence of a world few of us will ever have real access to, but one that we all want to know oh so much more about.
