While it can afford a prestigious life of global travel, celebrity encounters and plenty of cash, making it in the world of high fashion design isn't exactly a walk in the park. As a true 'who you know' industry, growing up in a small Canadian town with no connections in the business makes success seemingly impossible.
However, in a gripping new novel from Curtis Keith Simms, one small-town girl's aggressive passion for high fashion design is put to the test to see if she can beat the odds and break into the industry she dreams of dominating. 'The Pursuit of Fashion - Bon Bon, Couture & Vexatious Bitc#es' shares her successes, failures, triumphs and defeats.
Synopsis:
Bonita Smith is a young woman who has lived a segregated life growing up in a small rural town in Newfoundland, Canada. Her one dream throughout her whole childhood has been to escape the grips of the island and to embark upon an adventurous journey to New York City to pursue a career in high fashion design.
With her little knowledge of the real world and an ambition as big as the Pacific Ocean, she will encounter the red tape, stresses and disappointments that await her in the big city.
Battling the elements and cut throat corners of the fashion world. Join us in a young woman's triumph over the good, the bad and the ugly while finding out the truths in life and discovering what's important and what isn't.
As the author explains, his book is chock-full of suspense and dreams that will resonate with female readers of all backgrounds.
'Fashion design is one of those industry's that, while so many people want to make it big, few ever will. However, from a female reader's point of view, they'll be able to recognize the difficulties that women face every day in a myriad of industries,' says Simms.
Continuing, 'Men will also appreciate it, too. It's rare for men to read about the struggles many face trying to break into and maintain status within their chosen industry. I hope it gives them something to think about and perhaps even changes how they treat female colleagues in their own workplace.'
With a second book in the works, there's plenty more to come from Simms.
In the meantime, 'The Pursuit of Fashion - Bon Bon, Couture & Vexatious Bitc#es's will be available on October 15th 2013 through all major retail platforms and through SmashWords where you can buy and download in any format to fit your devices or pc: https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/356887

Eso de que 'quien canta, su mal espanta' toma especial sentido con los musicales de terror, y es que son escasas las ocasiones en las que el argumento de un musical basado en una novela o pelicula de terror da miedo de verdad. Sin duda, la musica parece alejarnos de todos los males, aunque haya quien se ponga malo con Pitingo o El Sueño de Morfeo. Solo la musica 'clasica' contemporanea que si que es verdaderamente acojonante y puede provocar ansiedad en el oyente incluso cuando trata de contar una bonita historia de amor (si no me crees, escucha a Jose Maria Sanchez Verdu)

Aunque nuestro teatro musical patrio va viento en popa -pese a que decenas de compañias tengan que lidiar con teatros vacios y presupuestos esqueleticos- parece que nadie habla de ello en nuestros medios de comunicacion. Y cuando alguien lo hace es para alabar algun titulo o tratar de forma superflua el auge de los musicales en nuestras carteleras. Ya se sabe -por desgracia- que casi nadie habla de lo que no es negocio, aunque los periodicos intenten disimularlo. Asi que yo, humildemente, y sin ninguna intencion de sentar catedra ni crear evangelio, voy a compartir contigo temas de los que todos hablamos y reflexionamos pero sobre los que pocas veces se escribe. He decidido el titulo de The Safety Curtain porque me parece uno de los elementos mas simbolicos de una representacion teatral: entre otras cosas, protege al publico durante los cambios de escena. Se trata de una barrera util, entre la obra y el publico, y asi es BroadwayWorld Spain… un intermediario entre el mundo del espectaculo y su publico al que protege, cuida y mima. O al menos lo intentamos. Muchas gracias, espero que disfrutes.
