July 1997: "Yep, I'm Not Gay"

Another guest column by Libby's "tragically single friend," Stacy Schiff ...

"My mother, as usual, said I just need to lose five pounds, have my legs broken and lengthened, and learn how to let my eyes flash alluringly whenever I pass a man on the street, even if he's got a jagged beer bottle and no pants."

Special Issue 1997: "Bride and Prejudice"

Another guest column by "Libby's dearest friend," Stacy Schiff, from Premiere's 1997 "Women in Hollywood" issue (published in December of '96, I believe) ...

"If a celebrity gets married without at least one helicopter carrying some guy from the Star with a zoom lens, can it really be called a marriage?"

January 1996: "The Scarlet A+"

Subbing for Libby this month is her daughter, Jennifer Waxner.

"Movies are the best way to read books, because you can see everything that people are wearing, and when it gets boring you can talk to your friends, but when you're just reading a book all you can do is keep pretending to read so your mom will be proud that you're still reading."

April 1995: "Pulp Victory"

This one's a guest column by Libby's "tragically single" friend Stacy Schiff.

"I have been attempting to diminish my nasal-labial folds and crow's feet by copying such French actresses as Isabelle Adjani and Isabelle Huppert, who avoid aging by remaining facially immobile. Isabelle Adjani is now carrying Daniel Day-Lewis's child, and Libby and I are convinced that she will deliver the baby by murmuring, 'Eet ees here' and handing it to a nurse."
