Episode description

Elaine Sargent’s writing odyssey began as a college journalism student where she was a reporter for the university newspaper. Her beat was Arts and Entertainment, and she was assigned to interview on-campus artists and review shows in hopes of ultimately becoming a fashion journalist. Her path took a turn when she discovered the University of Nevada costume design program, which allowed her to combine her two professional interests: writing and fashion.


This unique mixture led to her employment behind the stage in Nevada’s famous showrooms, outfitting and costuming showgirls and other performers. Elaine joins the Nevada Authors Network to discuss how she developed and wrote Rhinestone Confidential through her personal experiences and in-depth interviews with past colleagues and friends.


Rhinestone Confidential is available at the Radical Cat Bookstore in Reno, Nevada, and on Amazon.
