Judy Blume planning second-ever adult novel
Judy Blume
New York - UPI
Judy Blume, the voice of your adolescence, is working on her second-ever novel for grown-ups, her publisher announced Wednesday.
"I'm both thrilled and terrified, my usual feelings at this point. I'll be hiding out this summer revising, my favorite part of the process," Blume, 76, said in a statement.
The as-yet-untitled novel will be the iconic author's first for adults since 1998's Summer Sisters, the story of two friends who spend their summers together.
Blume's Knopf editor Carole Baron told the New York Times that the book is "quintessential Judy."
"It's pure Judy Blume, writing about family and about friendships, about love, about betrayal. It's quintessential Judy," she said.

to 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home.

Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
