Her favorite sport was social climbing (and she enjoyed the exercise), and she excelled at it: attending all the right parties and gate-crashing the rest. From the heights of the 1950s bohemian scene, she observed--and shaped--the lives of rule-breakers such as Lucian Freud and Francis Bacon, for whom she became a muse. But that was only the beginning. As a central figure in the 1960s Chelsea Set, no one worked harder--or more joyfully--to become a bohemian legend.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThrough Hen, you'll learn how to steal your best friend's boyfriend; enchant and ensnare a husband; bloom into a magnificent muse; dress like a comic-book superhero; sample every illicit substance known to medical science (and allegedly dose a Rolling Stones concert with them); join the caravan set and follow the gypsy trail in search of the Holy Grail--before reappearing as the minder to a mind-blowing pop icon.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlong the way, you'll master the gentle art of cadging drinks, the feline felony of cat burglary, the crafty chaos of charity-shop shoplifting, and the unpredictable thrills of steamy encounters in secondhand bookshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eHen, Mistress of Mayhem\u003c\/i\u003e transports readers to the epicenter of Soho's Golden Age.
