Supermodel Janice Dickinson tackles the perils of looking perfect, debunks beauty myths, and offers commonsense advice about looking good cheaply, easily, and on your own terms, while feeling good about yourself no matter what. Everything About Me Is Fake is a fast, funny, name-dropping, incident-filled, sexy read about how the world's first supermodel doesn't even feel close to perfect and never did-despite appearances to the contrary. Even when Janice Dickinson was being stitched into clothing and having her boobs taped together to be a Cosmo cover girl, she heard only the words of her paedophile father, who always told her, "You'll never amount to anything. You're a loser because you're a girl." The book explores how women spend their lives striving for the unattainable, trying to look like they walked off the pages of a magazine with Jennifer Aniston stick-straight hair bouncing in the breeze and Cover Girl smiles hiding the pain. Janice tells us what's real about beauty and what's not, and how women don't have to be slaves to the pictures they see on the glossy pages of Vogue. Yet she is also convinced that the world does need to glam up a bit, so Janice offers real tips for both men and women, drawing on the tricks of the trade that she learned while modelling all over the world. She offers every beauty trick in the book-not the ones you're used to reading, but real, concrete tips that will make anyone feel better in a matter of minutes. Janice also includes more illustrative anecdotes from her personal life that she didn't include in her first book. But along with the wild tales of partying and bed-hopping, she tells us what it was like to strive forperfection, and fail. Her way to kill the pain of that failure was pills, booze, sex, and rock stars, until that lifestyle came crashing down around her. When you've spent a lifetime trying to be perfect and having it all cave in, the next question is perfectly simple: "Now what?" The
