Issue 75: When I tracked down Joan Didion's perfume

... only to realize that what I was looking for was something else.

I am a little embarrassed to admit it but in my heart of hearts, I guess I imagine that I am a younger, slightly more energetic Joan Didion. I think of myself as a reader and a writer, I am serious about my notebooks. I love a good fashion moment, especially if large sunglasses are involved. I am a Joanie girl, through and through.
