Turned away from the top department stores, they made their way to 57th Street where refusing to be deterred, Marty lead Marjorie into the legendary Tiffany store, and somehow these best friends talked their way into positions as pages–the first women to ever work on the sales floor. Their salary left them penniless and pondering the "Wheaties and Celery Diet," but their diamond filled day–job was the envy of other romantic minded girls who had flocked to New York City that steamy June. Their dream was made complete by their Manhattan apartment–conveniently close to the dashing Navy Midshipmen at Columbia University, and their college friends summering on Long Island. </P><P> Their workdays found the girls dazzled by the likes of honeymooners Judy Garland and Vincent Minnelli, Marlene Dietrich in her USO uniform, and legendary playboy Jimmy Donohue. They delivered and modelled priceless jewels, nearly lost precious pearls, and encountered Old Man Tiffany himself during a rare visit. In between getting lost in Harlem , witnessing the Eisenhower Parade, VJ Day in Times Square, and mingling with the Cafe Society–Marjorie Hart fell in love, learned lessons and made decisions that would impact the rest of her life.</P> 923681 1 4 2007 Summer at Tiffany total:623|5:94|4:220|3:238|2:65|1:6| 623 2200 988 190 5 5 false false Wed Jun 04 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Thu May 15 10:27:57 -0700 2008 Wed Jun 04 08:13:48 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 4 false false Wed Jun 04 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Fri May 16 10:09:48 -0700 2008 Wed Jun 04 10:08:27 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 2 false false Sun Aug 24 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Fri Aug 15 06:13:30 -0700 2008 Sun Sep 07 12:33:49 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Wed Jun 06 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Mon May 25 21:04:19 -0700 2009 Mon May 25 21:04:42 -0700 2009 ...more...]]> 3 0 false false Sun Jul 26 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Jul 19 04:40:03 -0700 2009 Sun Jul 26 05:29:56 -0700 2009 3 Stars at best. I was really looking forward to this one and found it a little disappointing. I love the 1940s era and what could be better than living a life of a single gal for a summer in NYC during that time?
