Huge Tianello related news!  One of our models—the lovely Lorelei Shellist—has written an autobiography!

Runway RunAway  will be released on November  25th, 2008, but we wanted to let you know ahead of time.  This is your chance to get a sneak peek at this candid recounting of Lorelei’s amazing journey from teen runaway to runway sensation!

Runway RunAway tells the story of Lorelei’s journey from 15 year-old runaway to aspiring model,  pounding the pavements of L.A.  while holding down a job.  Through a combination of very hard work and fortuitous circumstance, she gets a break; one that will open doors into a glamorous career.

Having walked the runways of Europe and the world for such fashion legends as Chanel, Bob Mackie, and Christian LaCroix, Lorelei’s story gives the reader a feel for what it was like to be at the center of it all during one of couture fashion’s heydays.

On the other side, the very real depictions of people and places you may have only heard of or read about in the news– spoken of as only one who knows them can– make the stories and events real to the reader; leading them quietly into the world of high fashion and hard rock, and showing that the stars who dwell there are people, too.

Lorelei also tells the story of her romance with Steve Clark, guitarist of the legendary rock band Def Leppard.  Her love for him speaks through the pages, and the story of their first meeting has all the honesty and intimacy of a friend giving up precious secrets from her past. 

Beneath the glitz and glamor, is a very real person, whose story will have you hooked.

Visit the official Runway RunAway website, where you can read an excerpt from the book, and view photos and press from Lorelei’s glamorous career. The book is currently available through the website for pre-order.  You can even  get a signed copy!

  And if you live in the Los Angeles area, you have a chance to purchase the book before its official release date.

  On November 23rd, there will be a book signing at the Infamous Book Soup  in Hollywood.

  The event begins at 5pm.  The Infamous Book Soup is located at:

  8818 Sunset Boulevard, West Hollywood, California, 90069.
