'Valley of the Dolls' just got creepier.
Susie Says is the collaborative effort between the infamous New York fixture, downtown chanteuse, and performance artist Justin Vivian Bond and writer, photographer, and doll enthusiast Gina Garan. The image-heavy novel stars the blank-eyed Susie in over 60 photographs of her dressed in uber-fashionable apparel covering a range of styles--from vintage to uniquely customized couture ensembles. Each of Garan's photographs feel like a high fashion editorial (but for dolls, who--face it--are probably a lot easier to work with than models) and includes Susie's hilarious and bizarre musings written by the 'International superstar performer' Bond. We learn to never judge a book by its cover but it's safe to say this book is strangely fabulous and a must-read this summer.
