Gentlemen Prefer Blondes

The Intimate Diary of a Professional Lady

De: Anita Loos

Narrado por: Amanda Stribling

If any American fictional character of the 20th century seems likely to be immortal, it is Lorelei Lee of Little Rock, Arkansas, the not-so-dumb blonde who knew that diamonds are a girl's best friend.

Outrageous, charming, and unforgettable, she's been portrayed on stage and screen by Carol Channing and Marilyn Monroe and has become the archetype of the footloose, good-hearted gold digger, with an insatiable appetite for orchids, champagne, and precious stones.

Here are her "diaries", created by Anita Loos in the Roaring Twenties, as Lorelei and her friend Dorothy barrel across Europe, meeting everyone from the Prince of Wales to "Doctor Froyd" and then back home again to marry a Main Line millionaire and become a movie star.

In this delightfully droll and witty book, Lorelei Lee's wild antics, unique outlook, and imaginative way with language shine.

What gentlemen prefer!!

Easy listening. Loved the narrator’s voice. Smooth and consistent. Easy to follow the storyline from the beginning !

Enchanting from the first sentence!

Amanda Stribling brings a fresh, sparkling voice to this enchanting story which became the basis for the movie with Marilyn Monroe and Jane Russell. The book is so much more though and is presented as diary entries.

A fun, quick listen that takes you back to a time of glamour - when people held salons and beautiful women reigned.

Definitely worthwhile listen!

What a delight! The deadpan humor is hysterical! Narrator is an absolute master of comedic timing! The book is written in a tell-all Dear Diary form, and it's sexy and clever and so entertaining! Man after man falls to her charms, scheme after scheme goes awry! HilARious! Fabulous! You won't regret listening!
