Reading it will make you feel like a Peaking Tom
The Daily Beast: Her new memoir, Drawing Blood, is a remarkable read, dripping in old-fashioned sex, drugs, and rock and roll. No, not the mud-caked Woodstock version. Go back further, to the cabaret of Moulin Rogue. For the uninitiated, the book is a peak behind the dressing room curtain.

Hello, Editor!
/A daily perusal of Gawker, Jezebel, Buzzfeed, and Daily Beast convinces me that there is absolutely no copy editing or even basic proofreading going on in any online publications aimed at the Millenials.
Or worse, Deb, they just don't know any better.
Oh my.
I dunno; maybe it's intentional, a sort of surreal metaphor about looking into a tiny dressing room and discovering a mountain. I know some highly regarded writers who get away with that sort of thing on a regular basis, and we should not discard the possibility of subconscious (even Freudian) brilliance here.
