DOWNLOAD EBOOKGreta Gleissner, a longtime professional dancer, dreamed her whole life of becoming a Rockette. Then she became one—and she fell into the grips of a powerful eating disorder that began poison her life from the inside out. Something Spectacular is Gleissner’s raw, personal chronicle of the devastating effects bulimia exacts upon her life during her time as a Rockette. As her disorder takes over, she begins to lead a dual life: happy-go-lucky on the outside; tortured by obsessive, self-destructive voices on the inside. Immersed in an environment in which even talent is secondary to appearance, Gleissner hides her disorder by any means necessary—lying, cheating, and stealing with no regard for the consequences of her actions—until she hits rock bottom and is forced to face the truths behind her disease. Her intensive odyssey of self-discovery ultimately gives her the strength to reshape her self-image, embrace her sexuality, and break free of the malignant hold bulimia has on her life. The first book to give voice to the pervasive but often unaddressed problem of eating disorders in the dance industry, Something Spectacular is a gripping exposé of the insidious nature of eating-related diseases—and a profound account of one woman’s journey toward self-acceptance and recovery.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKLong Legs and Tall Tales is a comic memoir about a naïve, goodie two-shoes, Midwestern psychology student (Kristi Lynn Davis) who tosses aside her conservative business suit and college education, leaves the safety of suburbia behind, and hesitantly sets off to become an international, sexy showgirl supreme. Follow her into her dressing rooms around the globe, as she learns to survive and then thrive (in stilettos, no less) in the wild and wonderful world of entertainment. With a virtual VIP All-Access Backstage Pass, readers get a sneak insider peek into two of America's most iconically sexy and spectacular institutions--Playboy and the Radio City Rockettes--like never before. But wait! There's more. The book also chronicles highlights of Kristi's wacky journey from obscurity to fame, including her humble tutu and tiara-loving beginnings at her local "Dolly Dinkle" dance schools, her awkward stretch into modern dance amid the danger and excitement of New York City, mortifying corporate party performances (including dancing as half of the Brooklyn Bridge and knocking over patrons with her big buttress), musical theatre and movie escapades in and around Hollywood, homespun fun in the Ozarks as Buddy Ebsen's hottie Beverly Hillbillies sidekick, jet-setting and bar-hopping with real live Playboy Bunnies, her horror at sashaying on stage in a G-string, going overboard for love on a cruise ship, and shaking her tail feathers for President Bill Clinton. From the sweaty, smoky nightclubs of Singapore to the sizzling Las Vegas strip to the snowcapped mountains of Alaska and beyond, these behind-the-scenes, high-kicking high jinks rival the euphoria of thunderous applause. Having spent over 12 years strutting her stuff as a professional entertainer, including logging in over 1,200 performances (and 240,000 kicks) as a Radio City Rockette and touring overseas with the steamy Playboy's Girls of Rock & Roll, Kristi has juicy secrets and shenanigans to spill. Through stories of her sparkling success despite mortifying missteps, Long Legs and Tall Tales aims to inspire readers to light their spark, pursue their passion, and shine brightly as the stars they truly are.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWHAT would the thoughtful and reverent Christian of today not give for a sure enough close-up look at Christ Jesus as he walked among men? This is not finding fault with the Gospels but with the mass of tradition, church dogma, and what not, that has accumulated since that first century and in the mind of the church obscures the Real Jesus. Yet we know that the only way to make him co-temporary with all the centuries is to see him in the century in which he lived. More progress has been made in the last generation in recovering the Real Saviour for human faith, than in any half dozen generations before our time. These sermons, preached amid the pressing duties of a busy pastorate, and taken down in shorthand by a friend, represent another attempt to go back and live anew those days with Him. The old cry, "We would see Jesus" is in our hearts. If, in its limited way, this volume will help to do this for its reader the author will be grateful beyond words. Original 1926 reprint edition.
