Real Gorgeous

Take it from Kaz Cooke: There are millions of gorgeous body shapes. Yours is one of them. Dieting doesn''t work. Your thighs are pretty cute. Exercise should be fun not duty. Cheap cosmetics can be as good as expensive ones. Advertising lies. Plastic surgery sucks. Modeling can be miserable. You can recover from an eating disorder. You can read magazines and watch television critically. You can fight the Body Police. At last here is a book that tells you how to be friends with your body. Real Gorgeous is a big funny reassuring read about fashion fibs and diet mythsand the truth about among other things push-ups push-up bras and the great cellulite scam. It is meticulously researched and sensible but it avoids impenetrable theory and instead embraces the fun of clothes makeup and life in general. Packed with jokes Cooke''s own cartoons and practical ways to find real self-esteem and avoid freak-outs and rip-offs Real Gorgeous is easy to read relevant and an indispensable boost for women aged 11 to 111.
