Lee Tulloch’s 1989 novel, Fabulous Nobodies, has a protagonist so lovable and a fan club so besotted, it’s a wonder that a movie hasn’t been made about it already. At Tuesday night’s Pop Burger party celebrating the announcement of the film, producer and former executive editor of V Magazine Julie Anne Quay riffed on the, ahem, fabulousness of Reality Nirvana Tuttle, the East Village club “doorwhore” who names her frocks, and talks to them to boot; sports a Chanel tattoo (how very 2009 of her); and lives and dies by making the “right” friends and getting into the “right” parties. “Reality has 72 different fashion personalities. I wish everyone had style like that.” Tulloch herself admitted that the book was a revenge piece of sorts—she wrote it after she was fired from Australian Harper’s Bazaar. “It satirizes that world, but kids identify with it anyway,” she said. So who will play the lead? “She has to be strong. She’s ditsy, but tough.” It also sounds like she’ll have a killer wardrobe. Any takers, young Hollywood?
