Hi Folks,

Immodesty's dress was a late 50s/early60s Dior.

The book she and Paul both enjoyed is indeed 'The Same Old Grind' and is out of print. It is a comic novel set in an old grindhouse and is based one the ugly side of showbiz.

However - It looks like German Amazon sellers might have it:

Amazon.de: Neu und gebraucht: Same Old Grind

Not sure if it's it's in English though! Might be a good place to start searching.
