Eccentric Glamour: Creating an Insanely More Fabulous You …by Simon Doonan
‘In these comic essays, interspersed with one-on-one interviews with some of the world’s most glamorous eccentrics (including Iman, Lucy Liu, Tilda Swinton, Malcolm Gladwell, and many more), Simon Doonan offers the women of America an alternative to the cheapness and tackiness that currently pass for personal style. Eccentric Glamour is intended as an antidote to the epidemic of slutty dressing and porno-chic that has taken over since the arrival of Paris Hilton and Anna Nicole Smith (may she rest in peace). While the typical TV boobs ‘n’ Botox makeovers force every woman to look the same, the transformations this book strives to inspire are the very opposite. Dressing like a ho is not just bad taste but boring! In Simon Doonan’s book, conformity is the only crime and dressing down the only faux pas.Eccentric Glamour is every woman’s birthright. SO SAY NO TO HO!…and yes to ECCENTRIC GLAMOUR!’
