Red-carpet fashion laureate, comic icon, and outspoken superstar
Joan Rivers is uniquely qualified to talk about plastic surgery --
because she's one of the few celebrities unafraid to admit to the
world what she's "had done" to keep looking so great. Now, in this
no-holds-barred book, she gives women straight-talking advice on
better living through looking better.
Joan Rivers' abiding life philosophy is simple: in the
appearance-centric society of the twenty-first century, beauty is
key -- especially where men are concerned. Men like pretty women.
And so, getting something lifted, tightened, adjusted, or removed
is as fundamental as wearing makeup or using hair conditioner; it's
become something we do to make ourselves look better. Now, for any
woman considering her options, Joan Rivers takes the mystery out of
cosmetic surgery with a practical overview, aided and informed by
the country's top plastic surgeons, of almost every single cosmetic
procedure legally performed in America today. She takes readers
step-by-step through these entire processes, from fi nding the
right doctor to the bruising truth about recovery and the facts
about cosmetic surgery's very real risks.
But don't worry -- there's dish, too. Filled with Rivers' personal
anecdotes about life under the knife, "Men Are Stupid...And They
Like Big Boobs" is also rife with Hollywood gossip about who's done
what and how often. Part comic musing, part bitch-fest, and part
hands-on advice, this is a bracingly funny, wildly frank, and
genuinely passionate argument for a woman's right to do whatever it
takes to be beautiful, to feel better about herself, and most of
all to be happy -- not only with who she is, but who she wants to
be. Throughout the book, Joan Rivers is right there, guiding and
encouraging with no apologies, no excuses, and absolutely no shame.
Take it from the woman who enjoys having it all -- done.
