Unlike most of my peers, i do read an ocassional book. I have to say Nina DiSesa’s Seducing the Boys Club is an excellent and insightful read. DiSesa is truly an entertaining writer. This book is def. worth reading.

If you want an example of a successful woman in terms of talent and not a politcal/business master it would be Kara Goodrich and Sally Hogshead. They did great work, not talked about doing great work.

if joyce were any more “pale,” she’d be invisible – but for the quizical thought-bubble question marks forever circling her head, combined with an slight grimmace that seems to say, “i’m pooping in my panties.”

nina ruled and rocked! joyce hems, haws and leaves shit behind.

Why couldn’t DiSesa just go away and count the millions she made running a big but truly ordinary shop? McCann was that way before her, and was surely that way after.

Notwithstanding the phony praise on Amazon from Zadok, Messner, and other industry hangers-on looking for employment, this just another vanity-press book, pure and simple. Whether you’re a woman or a “dog” (thanks for insulting my husband, Nina) this is not a book we needed.

Nina is/was the real deal. Joyce is a pale shadow.

This is supposed to be the fanfare for Nina’s exit from McCann NEw York. She definitely had/has more juice than Joyce King Thomas. The book? Not bad at all. All Ad books are really of more interst to the author than to posterity.

Who reads old Ad exec memoirs?

No one exactly. Give her points for trying though.
