5.0 out of 5 stars If you don't like the past , then honey make something up., November 20, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Jerry Hall's Tall Tales (Paperback)

I bought this book many years ago when I was a teenybopper and gaga for Jerry. I think Jerry is the stuff that Jackie Collins novels are about. Sex, drugs and rock and roll, but you won't find those stories here. According to Jerry, she's a light drinker, never takes drugs and never did a naughty thing in her whole life. There is a story here though about low self-esteem and an inability to forget a background of poverty and abuse. In her own way Jerry shows herself to be insecure and ego-driven as well as just plain greedy. But whatever, she is fabulous and I still love her. As far as models go, she was one of the best there ever was because I think she really tried. The pictures of her and Antonio Lopez (by Norman Parkinson) are probably the best fashion photos I have ever seen. The energy and just plain sexiness of the pictures leap right off the page. Actually the book itself is held together with pictures. Maybe someday Jerry will sit down and tell us all the real story about how she got her first fur coat and where all those sleazy pics of her on the net came from. And of the money and the men (and women) and the GLAMOUR!!! Please note how many times Jerry uses the word glamour or glamourous. Jerry's Tall Tales has its charm and even if it's not high lit people will be amazed and astounded that you own it. 5 stars just for all the laughs it has given me and hey, just because it's Jerry!!

I couldn't help wondering if Jerry Hall ever regretted writing this one, penned while she was still bonded with Mick Jagger. Was it ever used as "evidence" in her divorce trial? Did it return to haunt her?
Forgetting those questions, this book is just a fun romp for readers, as Jerry opens up and lets loose on her philosophy about how to handle men...including Mick, who Jerry admits was far than faithful. The picture section is a nostalgic trip through rock's early days and Jerry's younger years as a top model and crazy woman.
My advice? Grab a copy now while the price, high as it is, is within reach. You won't regret it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Time for Part 2, May 29, 2000

Read this book back in the early 80's and it changed my life. She's a daring and gutsy girl, with a disarming sweetness. It's time for part two of Jerry's great adventures!
