― Gentlemen Prefer Blondes

Gentlemen Prefer The Illuminating Diary of a Professional Lady in full is a 20th Century American classic novel, short stories book by Anita Loos and it was first published in 1925 in America.

Gentlemen Prefer Blondes is a timeless as well as hilarious, literary fiction masterpiece set in the jazz age in New York and Paris and from the diary entries of a single female flapper stories of the insouciant hedonism, relationships, sexual exploits, and adultery of the 1920s. This book has been adapted into films, plays and musicals. It was uniquely and intimately illustrated by Ralph Barton, and his drawings are in this collectible edition copy of the book.

This is the Anita Loos, novelist, playwright, and screenwriter who became the first female staff screenwriter in Hollywood, original 1925 unabridged edition and an unmissable witty, comedic, and satirical American historical literary classic.

Movie Adaptation
Gentlemen Prefer Blondes was adapted into two movies, a popular play, and two musicals. The tale of Lorelei Lee, the archetypal “dumb blonde” was played by Marilyn Monroe in the 1953 movie feature film version of the musical.

“I would be great in the movies if he would write me a part that only had three expressions, Joy, Sorrow, and Indigestion.”
― Gentlemen Prefer Blondes

About
Written in a diary format, Gentlemen Prefer The Illuminating Diary of a Professional Lady, began as a series of short stories sketches published in Harper's Bazaar, known as the "Lorelei" stories. They were satires that only vaguely alluded to sexual intimacy; but the magazine's circulation quadrupled overnight. The heroine of the stories, Lorelei Lee, was a bold, ambitious flapper, a practical young woman who had internalized the materialism of the United States in the 1920s.

Excerpt from the Original Cover

What a beautiful, clever dumb-bell she is! What an intriguing gold-digger! What a smooth worker!
Here we have her in all her glory, in a side-splitting, astonishingly frank diary that takes her from New York to London, Paris, Vienna and Munich in quest of an education in the foreign colleges known as the Ritz Hotels.
Diplomats, princes, society, big business and men – she plays them all, especially men, men, men. Tiaras, state secrets, titles and Poires models all fall into her pretty little net.
And funny! With the intimate drawings by Ralph Barton this book and its characters and its really sardonic insight will become part of our tradition of humor…

Gentlemen Prefer Blondes is a jazz age satirical classic by comic genius Anita Loos.


“I really think if I do not get the diamond tiara my whole trip to London will be quite a failure”
― Gentlemen Prefer Blondes
