high school, I would come down the steps. My parents were disgusted by me. I had started this growth spurt. I looked like a big, hairy pencil. I'm walking down the steps and my father would look at me and I'd be in my underpants. And he looked down at his son who was sprouting with facial hair and he'd go, 'Oh, look. There's Miss America.' The title caused a rift with those in charge of the Miss America beauty pageant who, in a letter to HarperCollins, argued that the book contained "tasteless" photographs "that deal with subject matter having nothing to do with our client". Regan maintained she acted with caution with the title and thought it was safe to use. An early working title was Sloppy Seconds in reference to a gang bang, but Regan rejected it because she deemed it "gross" and a put down on himself. Another rejected title was Mein Kampf, the same title as Adolf Hitler's book, and Big Nose, Small Hose. Stern announced the book on his radio show on August 28, 1995. He revealed that he had completed a draft version of the entire book at that point, with two chapters finalised, though Regan maintained he had exaggerated how little he had produced for her. A title had yet to be settled upon. Stern had written a chapter about the Simpson case but felt it would date the book, and found himself editing what he had written as the case had yet to reach a verdict while he was writing it. He then decided to scrap the chapter. Stern dedicates the book to his radio show intern Steve Grillo. His other choice was Lonnie Hanover, the owner of Scores, a strip club which Stern and his staff used to visit. Design The front cover depicts Stern dressed in drag. The back cover features a picture of Stern with O. J. Simpson at Donald Trump's wedding in 1993. The phrase "Getting away with murder" is printed in large white letters, referring to Simpson's murder case in which he was acquitted on two counts of murder. Regan rejected two photographs and illustrations that Stern had chosen to include in the book. One depicted Simpson showing Stern how to slash and dismember his wife; another showed Stern holding a hatchet and his wife's severed leg while Simpson coaches him. In a letter to Stern's agent
