"The other day I was walking down the street (again, fully, 100 percent clothed, and when I say 100 percent, that means practically not an inch of exposed skin) and some man on a corner yelled, "You having a bad-hair day! Whoops, I mean you having a bad-hair month! I guess you probably having a bad-hair life!"

From the dust jacket: "Welcome to the wonderful world of Tama Janowitz, one of New York's wittiest social chroniclers. AREA CODE 212 is filled with idiosyncratic delights and oddities, including her hilarious account of Andy Warhol's 1980s blind date club; her brief moment of celebrity as an elderly teenage extra in a ZZ Top video; the day she tested mentally retarded on an IQ test; and many other revealing tales of New York life, including its parties, its restaurants, and its fashion. Janowitz gives us her unique lowdown on her 1990s conversion from Manhattan to Brooklyn, on observing the Twin Towers come down from her apartment roof, on hairless dogs and ferrets, babies, the outer boroughs, big-hair days and bad-hair days. Above all, the humor and insights of AREA CODE 212 will appeal not only to all of those who live in New York City, but also to those from around the country who have a fascination with what it is like to thrive in the urban mecca. Self-deprecating, funny, and touching, AREA CODE 212 is an irresistible collection of essays.". INSCRIBED/SIGNED by the AUTHOR. First Printing of the First Edition. Hardcover.
