Publisher's noteTake 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". Here is a funny, reassuring read about fashion fibs and diet myths - and the truth about push-ups, push-up bras, and the great cellulite scam. It takes a hard look at lies, damned lies and beauty tips. Packed with jokes, Kaz's own cartoons, and practical ways to find real self-esteem and avoid freak-outs and rip-offs, Real Gorgeous is an indispensable boost for women aged 11 to 111. A humorous and empowering book for girls and women who are insecure about their body image. According to 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." AnnotationWhen it comes to standards of physical beauty, it's tough to not be overwhelmed by confusing, humiliating, soul-crushing, conflicting messages, no matter what you look like. This book is designed to clear a feel-good pathway through the daggers, and help to wounded readers realize they are perfect the way they are. With improved self-esteem, they can then set about creating a lasting regime of exercise and good eating habits, and let go of any binge eating habits they may have indulged in for temporary comfort from the judgmental world. If all that sounds too heavy, then don't worry, because the message is delivered with nothing but good humor and cheeky drawings. Cooke reveals the liberating truth that "you are not your buttocks." She also takes a look at what constitutes "normal" in teeth, breasts, thighs, etc., and has great fun exposing the evil hypocrisies of the fashion industry.
