Product Description: No one really comes from Hollywood...do they? Was growing up in Hollywood really any different than growing up anywhere else? Hollywood Impressions tells a story that is both personal and universal. Personal-because it tells the story of one resident's childhood during the'60s and '70s. Universal- because in a magical, mystical, way Hollywood seems familiar to fans who've never even been there.
Fashion, Music and Community--Hollywood Style:Wow! Impressions is simply a great read. Hollywood was essentially ground-zero for Change in the 1970's, and Melanie Onofrio-Haug has captured the best of it with humor, personality and a writing style that has rhythm reminiscent of the times themselves.
This is adolescence at its finest. A First Job takes a whole new twist when it is on Sunset Boulevard. Music is more intense when it can be gotten down the street from your highschool. And teen fashion never seemed so fine: "velvets, satin, Lurex, lame in every color of the rainbow, silver and gold lame jackets, and rhinestones...all teetering atop 7 inch platforms."
This is certainly one of the best books of the summer.
