AMERICAN EVE

I just finished an awesome read. Paula Uruburu's American Eve Evelyn Nesbit, Stanford White The Birth of the "It" Girl and the Crime of the Century is a must read. I provided a link of goodreads.com The story is extraordinary and the narrative of 100 years ago and the crime of the century that happened in Madison square gardens...the history of New York at the time of such millionaires..rich who took advantage of your ladies. Read this book. It will take you away, far far away in a world that Professor Uruburu (who took 10 years to write this book) so eloquently captured as a crucial time in American History. In a recent two part blog she explains how we must not repeat the mistakes of the past... just read the tabloids about Brittany Spears and some of the other exploited teens who have crashed and burned in their 20's. It looks like history has repeated itself and Professor Uruguru is here to remind us with her book about Evelyn that our lust for beauty continues to rules is all into the present and probably into our near future. Stay tuned for the next teen to crash and burn at the hands of the media, tabloids, the exploytation of women by men and so onward we go... into our dismall future
