Bergdorf bitch

It appears that Manhattan's new literary darling, Plum Sykes, is a bone fide bitch. Read journalist Charlotte Edwardes's immensely entertaining account of her encounter with La Sykes in book promotion mode. A choice extract:
"I tell her that, despite repeated requests, Penguin, her publisher, has failed to send me a copy. She pales to an unflattering shade of grey.
'You haven't read my book? Oh, my God, I can't believe it. So you don't actually know what I am talking about?' Near hysterical, she drops her napkin.
'You obviously have no idea. When I interview a famous author for Vogue, I make absolutely sure I have read all their works.' She takes a deep breath, then screams at me: 'You are so unprofessional - I can't deal with this.'"
