DOWNLOAD EBOOKJournalist Lizzie McPhee has always thought of beauty as a case of mind over matter – if you don't mind, it doesn't matter. But all that changes when she begins the countdown towards the big 4-0. Suddenly, she's comparing her butt buoyancy to that of women on billboards and worrying about wrinkles. But the pitter-pitter-pat of tiny crow's feet is soon the least of Lizzie's worries. In the space of twenty four hours, she is replaced as news anchor by a young himbo who keeps fit by doing step aerobics off his own ego. And then she catches her surgeon husband Hugo cheating with catty soap actress Britney Amore – a woman whose bra cup size is bigger than her IQ. Suddenly, Lizzie is in free fall. Can she turn back the clock, and win back her life? Or will she discover there's a better way to grow older gracefully? Praise for Kathy Lette: 'Fabulous, fast-paced, funny & unapologetically female. Nobody does it better.' DEBORAH FRANCES-WHITE, THE GUILTY FEMINIST 'Deliciously rude and darkly funny, but with compassion and humanity at its heart. Read with relish.' NICOLE KIDMAN 'Kathy Lette can turn from raunchy farce to the most tender emotion in a trice.' STEPHEN FRY

DOWNLOAD EBOOKEx-nurse-turned-insurance fraud investigator Pauline Sokol's willing to risk anything to put a bad doc out of business—even her best friend Goldie's near-perfect proboscis! Her cross-dressing compadre has agreed to get his shnozz bobbed so Pauline can pose as his private nurse and gain entry into Highcliff Manor—a posh plastic surgery "spa" making an illegal killing with their repeat clientele. But when a super-rich "frequent flier" is unexpectedly widowed—and a receptionist who knows too much is given the boot . . . off a nearby cliff!—Pauline realizes she's stuck her own nose into something really nasty. Despite the pleasant distraction of the hunky Dr. Neal—and the unexpected appearance of her sexy cohort, Jagger—Pauline can't shake the feeling she's being closely watched. And if she's not careful, she'll be the next one who goes under the knife!

DOWNLOAD EBOOKPlastic surgery is a field we all think we know well from reality shows like Extreme Makeover and Dr. 90210. But do we really? Only this doctor can tell you what it's all about. His truths will shock you, his rules will inform you, and his revelations could save you. A well-established, dynamic plastic surgeon at the top of his game, Dr. Z. Paul Lorenc lets you into his private practice, where the stakes are rising every day, and answers the burning questions. What should you know about a doctor's training? Do you know the difference between a tummy tuck and liposuction, and who is more suited for which? Have you ever imagined what mistakes a doctor has made and whether they can be corrected? He reveals the lies patients tell him and the lengths to which celebrities go to maintain anonymity in the waiting room. He shatters the myths surrounding post-operative recovery. And much, much more. Dr. Lorenc not only supplies the answers but analyzes what increasingly drives people in our youth- and beauty-obsessed culture--women and men alike--to request his services. With nuance and knowledge, he scrutinizes every detail of this fascinating yet imperfect science. This is the book for anyone who is thinking--even just a little--about getting plastic surgery.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWorking at the forefront of cosmetic surgery at the turn of the twentieth century, Dr Suzanne Noël was both a pioneer in her medical field and a firm believer in the advancement of women. Today her views on the benefits of aesthetic surgery to women may seem at odds with her feminist principles, but by placing Noël in the context of turn-of-the-century French culture, this book is able to demonstrate how these two worldviews were reconciled. Noël was able to combine her intense convictions for gender equality and anti-ageism in the workforce with her underlying compassion and concern for her female patients, during a time when there were no laws in place to protect women from workplace discrimination. She was also responsible for several advances in cosmetic surgery, a thriving industry, and is today best known for her development of the mini facelift. This book, therefore, sheds much valuable light on advances in aesthetic surgery, twentieth-century beauty culture, women and the public sphere, and the ‘new woman’.
