"After a notable career in fashion illustration and modeling in Paris, Evan Richardson becomes a makeup artist, working with top fashion magazines. The book is more than a celebrity memoir in that it is a narrative of the '70s, weaving the stories of the celebrities with Richardson's own life from the '70s into the '90s"--Publisher.
