“Adult books / I don't understand / Jackie Susann meant it that way …” from the single “Adult Books” by Los Angeles punk band X.

“The sixties will be remembered for The Beatles, Andy Warhol and me.” Jacqueline Susann.

Born on this day: fiercely glamorous Pucci-clad, bouffant-haired steamy novelist, false eyelash enthusiast and self-publicist extraordinaire Jacqueline Susann (20 August 1918 – 21 September 1974). Valley of the Dolls – the 1966 best-seller and 1967 movie adaptation - will always be a sacred cultural touchstone for me. (Dolls! Dolls! Dolls! Deep Inside Valley of the Dolls, The Most Beloved Bad Book and Movie of All Time (2020) by Stephen Rebello is obligatory reading). Pictured: “Jacqueline Susann and her husband Irving Mansfield, Beverly Hills” (1969) by Diane Arbus.

The Love Machine-Funky Tambourine

ai generated images make me increasingly sad and tired the more i see them in more and more casual contexts. i dont know how to explain, but it just fills the world with a bunch of nothing. no matter how visually stunning the pictures might be, there's nothing behind it for me. no dedication, no emotions, no feelings, no hard work or creativity, nothing i can truly think about, admire or enjoy. i dont think thats how art is supposed to be

I know it’s controversial but I think Annabeth geeking out over the Hephaestus contraptions was adorable

“At 3:30 A.M. on December 25, 1962, Jacqueline Susann - a fading TV actress with an unemployed husband, an autistic son in a mental hospital, and a lump in her right breast - began to scribble in a notebook. “This is a bad Christmas,” she wrote. “Irving has no job … I am going to the hospital … I don’t think I have [cancer]. I have too much to accomplish. I can’t die without leaving something—something big … I’m Jackie—I have a dream. I think I can write. Let me live to make it!” In her 12 remaining years—the tumor was malignant, and a full mastectomy was performed the day after Christmas - Susann more than made good on her dream. Not only did she write Valley of the Dolls (1966)—registered in The Guinness Book of World Records in the 1970s as the best-selling novel of all time (30 million copies sold)—she also became, with her next two novels, The Love Machine (1969) and Once Is Not Enough (1973), the first author ever to have three consecutive books catapult to the No. 1 spot on The New York Times’ best-seller list. No wonder she dared to proclaim to a Boston newspaper critic, who imagined he was hoisting her on her own petard, “Yeah, I think I’ll be remembered … as the voice of the 60s … Andy Warhol, the Beatles and me!”

Died on this day fifty years ago: fiercely glamorous Pucci-clad, bouffant-haired steamy novelist, false eyelash enthusiast and self-publicist extraordinaire Jacqueline Susann (20 August 1918 – 21 September 1974). Valley of the Dolls – the 1966 best-seller and 1967 movie adaptation - will always be a sacred cultural touchstone for me. Pictured: 1951 portrait of Susann as a struggling actress.
