And Other True Stories from a Life Unaccording to Plan. Author: Hillary Carlip Publication Date: May 2006 Paperback. A hilariously offbeat memoir about an adventurous young woman's escapades as she defies conventions and transforms an ordinary Los Angeles life into a star-studded, extraordinary miracle of self-discovery. "Queen of the Oddballs" forms a chronology of Hillary Carlip's habitual straying from roads more traveled -- from a wisecracking third-grader suspended from school for smoking (while imitating Holly Golightly) to a headline-making teen activist, juggler and fire eater, friend (NOT "fan") of Carly Simon and Carole King, grand prize-winning "Gong Show" contestant, cult rock star, and seeker of spiritual and romantic truths that definitely defy expectations. Illustrated with ephemera -- from diary entries and photographs to a handwritten letter from Carly Simon -- "Queen of the Oddballs" presents a virtual time capsule of pop culture's last four decades and celebrates a creative life lived to the hilt. A Lambda Literary Award Finalist for humour and Memoir in 2006. Tags: |
