Blow Inc. (AKA: How To Whore Out The Tribulations Of A Troubled Woman) rolls into New York next week, hitting the the boards of the Jewel Box Theatre as part of the 11th Annual Midtown International Theatre Festival. Entitled, Blow By Blow (ho ho!) the play will pick around the late Isabella Blow's marvellously eccentric yet tragic life and death. Scripted by playwright Jean Bergantini Grillo and directed by Jen Forcino, let's hope her feminine touch will lend an unexploitative gravitas to the show.

This is unrelated to the forthcoming Blow film to be produced by John Galliano. Only last month, the September auction to sell her colossal aberrant wardrobe was cancelled as a result of it all being flogged early to a single private bidder. All this post-death scratching around corse-picking and money-grabbing is cynical to say the least. Poor Issy.
