This was my whole life, this passion to find out these things, and do these things, and see these things, and have these adventures and be able to report about this street life that rarely gets talked about. I just didn't really have a lot of boundaries in those days. I don't think I had any, really. And if you really throw yourself into something, you can get a great story. You can also not have a life of your own."\n\nThanks to TinyLetter and Squarespace for sponsoring this week's episode.\n\nShow notes:\nSales on Longform\nSales's Vanity Fair archive\n[8:30] "A Star Is Bred" (New York \u2022 Jul 1996) [pdf]\n[11:00] "Leo, Prince of the City" (New York \u2022 Jun 1998)\n[14:45] "Prep-School Gangsters" (New York \u2022 Dec 1996)\n[21:00] "The Crack-Up" (New York \u2022 Sep 1997) [pdf]\n[30:45] "Hip Hop Debs" (Vanity Fair \u2022 Sep 2000)\n[37:30] "Courtney Love in a Cold Climate" (Vanity Fair \u2022 Nov 2011)\n[41:30] "Money Boss Player: Donald Trump" (Vibe \u2022 May 1999) [pdf]\n[42:30] "The Suspects Wore Louboutins" (Vanity Fair \u2022 Mar 2010)\n[51:45] "The Baby Dinner" (New York \u2022 Nov 1999)\nLearn more about your ad choices.
