Summary of andré leon talley's the chiffon trenches

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I was born in a now-torn-down hospital on the edge of tony Georgetown in Washington, D. C. My parents, Alma and William Carroll Talley, took me to my grandmother's house in Durham, North Carolina, the center of the tobacco industry. I lived with my great-grandmother China. #2 I had a very sheltered childhood, and I loved it. I spent my days reading magazines and books, and my nights dreaming about meeting celebrities and living a life like the ones I saw in the pages of Vogue. #3 I was in awe of Jackie Kennedy, the wife of John F. Kennedy, when I saw her at the inauguration in 1962. I learned about the Stanford White moldings, painted white, from 1902, and the images of American buffaloes on the marble fireplace. #4 I was a devoted Francophile growing up, and I loved watching Julia Child on television. I took four levels of French, from junior to senior high school, and I majored in French studies at North Carolina Central University.
