Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress "Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress" (also titled "Long Cool Woman" or "Long Cool Woman (in a Black Dress)") is a song written by Allan Clarke, Roger Cook, and Roger Greenaway and performed by the British rock group The Hollies. Originally appearing on the album Distant Light, it was released as a single on 17 April 1972 (on Parlophone in the United Kingdom),[1] selling 1.5 million copies in the United States and two million worldwide.[3] It reached No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 in September 1972. Billboard ranked it as the No. 24 song for 1972.
Anna Wintour Lauren Weisberger, a former Wintour assistant[107] who left Vogue for Departures along with Richard Story, wrote The Devil Wears Prada after a writing workshop he suggested she take.[108] It was eagerly anticipated for its supposed insider portrait of Wintour prior to its publication.[109] Wintour told The New York Times, "I always enjoy a great piece of fiction. I haven't decided whether I am going to read it or not."[110] While it has been suggested that the setting and Miranda Priestly were based on Vogue and Wintour, Weisberger claims she drew not only from her own experiences but those of her friends as well.[111] Wintour herself makes a cameo appearance near the end of the book,[112] where it is said she and Miranda dislike each other.[113]
