Sunday Short: The Suspects Wore Louboutins by Nancy Jo Sales

“Everything’s going to be O.K., Gabby,” said Dunn, who was still dressed for court in a brown suit. A former Playboy Playmate, Dunn—now married to Jerry Dunn, a production designer for television—is a masseuse and holistic health-care practitioner. Their house, which sits on a rolling, manicured street, is decorated with religious talismans and floor-standing statues of Buddha which Dunn said she got at the closing of a Thai restaurant.
With the release of Sofia Coppola's The Bling Ring, Nancy Jo Sales' article The Suspects Wore Louboutins is getting a lot of traction again. I read it first years ago after having watched 'Pretty Wild' with my sister. It's a pretty awesome piece of journalism, exposing a sort of vapid, materialistic life pretty far removed from me in sunny Brisbane. All the kids in it are just so unreal it almost reads like a fantasy, like an MTV soap. It's pretty amazing.
