A hilarious and empowering book for girls and women who are insecure about their body image. 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 myths―and 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.
this book is great for all women who always thought there is an irony in the media about beauty. first time I saw this book I thought the back had an interesting introduction. then when I read a couple of first pages i laughed!!it has great information about media and stuff you wish you didn't know. i have this book for a bout a year and i still read it for fun:)Update:july 13.It's been a while since I've read over the book but I recently dusted it off my bookshelf and read it when I was feeling horrible and cranky.still love it and if you still haven't bought it it's worth keeping.My sisters love this book too since it's funny and educational at the same time.Kat offers many insights on products that are considered "must have" and gives a different view on self esteem compared to other women who have tried to written a book on women's self esteem.Her view is much more realistic or is just easier to understand.
