Every Velvet Rose Has Its Thorn — But This One’s a Page-Turner!

The Mark Thompson Show Hour 4 (6.11) In the 9 pm hour of The Mark Thompson Show, supermodel and author Susan Holmes McKagan joins Mark and Tim for a fantastic conversation about her new novel “The Velvet Rose.” She opens up about getting discovered at just 16, living the wild supermodel life in early ’90s New York, walking for fashion powerhouses like Chanel, Guess, Dolce & Gabbana and Armani, and somehow avoiding the full-blown party scene. Susan also shares the charming fairytale story of how she met and married Guns N’ Roses bassist Duff McKagan — one of the best rock ‘n’ roll meet-cutes ever — and discusses her exciting second act as a novelist. The hour wraps with voice coach to the stars Roger Love, who has worked with Bradley Cooper, Eminem, Gwen Stefani, Joaquin Phoenix, Reese Witherspoon, Def Leppard, and many more. Roger talks about his most rewarding work helping people overcome stuttering and his powerful new documentary “Finding Your Voice.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
