Melissa said "yes" to attending the event: Author and Model Appearance.
date: September 13, 2008 02:00PM
location: Rye Free Reading Room, 1061 Boston Post Road, Rye, NY, United States
description: Lancome spokesmodel Selena Breed and Violet in Private author Melissa Walker talk about the realities of the fashion world and all its glamorous and dark aspects, as well as sharing their personal stories about becoming a model and a magazine/book writer, respectively. Topics we discuss include lack of diversity in the fashion world, the physical and emotional pressures of modeling and the Devil-Wears-Prada aspects of magazine work. We'll also answer/discuss any audience questions.

Melissa read and liked Angie's review of Violet on the Runway:

"A cut above many teen books...a realistic depiction of the teenage modeling scene in New York but not too dark in its portrayal of the pitfalls awaiting young fashion proteges. "
