"Burns makes it abundantly clear . . . they just don't make heiresses like Millicent Rogers anymore." --Hampton Sides

Nobody knew how to live the high life like Standard Oil heiress Millicent Rogers. Born to luxury, she lived in a whirl of European vacations, exquisite clothing, and dashing men.

In Searching for Beauty, Cherie Burns chronicles Rogers's rebellious life from her days as a young girl afflicted with rheumatic fever to her final days as one of the legendary chatelaines of New Mexico. She eloped with a penniless baron; danced tangos in European nightclubs; romanced Roald Dahl, Secretary of Defense James Forrestal, and Hollywood icon Clark Gable; and triumphed in the world of fashion. She was muse to legendary American designer Charles James, appeared in Vogue and Harper's Bazaar and popularized Southwestern style by adopting turquoise jewelry, squaw skirts and short-waist jackets as her signature look.

With Searching for Beauty, Millicent Rogers enters the pantheon of great American women who, like Diana Vreeland and Babe Paley, put their distinctive stamp on American style.

Not a terrible toy
Color: Blue Cow
Not a terrible product, but for a super sure it doesn’t last very long. It’s cute, but this is meant for definitely a small two small medium dog.

Indestructible my shiny hiney!! Dog had it destroyed in 6 hours. Waste of $$$
Color: Blue Cow
I bought this blue buffalo dog stuffy toy for my medium sized dog. It says it is for "heavy chewers" and she really isn't a heavy chewer. My German shepherd was a heavy chewer. This little dog isn't. So this toy should have lasted her a couple of weeks at best. NOPE! NOT EVEN CLOSE!! She had it for about 6 hours before the seams were busting open and stuffing scattered all over my house. 6 FREAKING HOURS!!! I'm very upset over this and my son threw it away before I could tell him to let me return it. So that's $6.99 down the drain. Indestructible my ass. Waste of money and lots of lies on the page. Phooey!
