November Book Mark Book Review Meeting

The featured speaker at the November Book Mark Review Club meeting was Kathleen Cunningham.  Kathleen has been a speaker at the club before and was very enjoyable.  She is tall, elegant, sophisticated, a former model and champion ballroom dancer.  Her presentation was about the life story of two dynamic ladies in the fashion and modeling business.

The two women she spoke about were :

                            Eilieen Ford, who with her husband Jerry, co-founded the successful                                                             Ford Modeling Agency.


                          Diana Vreeland, noted columnist at Harper's Bazaar and Editor-in-Chief
                                                    at Vogue Magazine

Kathleen talked about how the tribulations of the early lives of these two ladies shaped them and how those trying times made them the successes that they became.  

One interesting tidbit about Diana, is that after she was dismissed from Vogue, she became famous for curating fashion exhibits at the Metropolitan Museum

Style may come and go, but these two women left their mark on the fashion world, and changed it forever.
