Rating: Summary: I can't recommend it enough!! Review: After reading this book over the weekend, I cannot recommend it enough, especially if you're interested in the fashion industry. No book I have ever read comes close to giving such thorough detail and anecdotes of what it is really like to be a top model. The parts about Milan and New York were incredible. And the way the author presents his research, facts and first hand experience himself as an undercover model make for an enjoyable and entertaining read.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rating: Summary: An Exciting Book Review: Bad and Beautiful is a grand read. Moving from the modeling worlds of London and New York to Milan, this edge-of-the-seat expose is a jolting account of what really happens in the fashion world. Bad and Beautiful is high adventure and high fun. A fascinating read with a gripping story. I can't recommend this book enough to anyone interested in fashion or models. Extremely enjoyable and informative reading!
Rating: Summary: Congrats Mr. Halperin Review: By far, Halperin's account is the most compelling and entertaining book ever on fashion. I advise everyone to pleasew read - especially if your name is Naomi, Kate or Gisele. Excellent stuff!
Rating: Summary: An amazing and startling book Review: Halperin's new book has all the stunning impact of his previous work - yet is much more far-reaching in its frightening implications. It's a shocking, suspenseful expose that mirrors a violent, troubled and exciting supermodel industry. Bad and Beautiful has a fascinating scenario of the author posing undercover as a model to get the dirt on what goes on behind the catwalk. This book is a must for all pop culture fans!
Rating: Summary: Okay, here's the real scoop Review: I admit it...I'm hooked on books about models and so I couldn't wait to get my hands on this one. It was worth the wait, revealing the often sordid details of the modeling industry (not that anyone expected it to be a story of purity and idealism, right?). So read this one. But don't stop there. Pick up A Thing of Beauty, which details the rise and fall of Gia Carangi. Then spend some time with Jerry Hall's True Tales (an inside look by Mick Jagger's ex).And finally, round off your reading with No Lifeguard on Duty, written by Janice Dickinson. arguably the world's "first" supermodel and Sylvester Stallone's erstwhile lover.
Rating: Summary: Bad And Beautiful is a great book Review: I cannot say enough good things about this book. Aside from finding it thoroughly entertaining, it is a fascinating read. Definitely one of the most exciting books I've read in ages. If there's one thing that really stuck out to me was the first hand account of going undercover. Finally, the tribute to Versace was most interesting.
Rating: Summary: Great REad Review: I could not put this book down. Definitely, all people in the fashion industry should read it. Especially young models. I can't recommend this book enough. In fact, I bought a copy for my niece who said she was interested in becoming a model. Well researched and well written, this book should be read by anyone interested in fashion or pop culture!
Rating: Summary: Excellent Book on Models Review: I read this book last weekend...couldn't put it down. I've been in the fashion business for years. This book really hit home. If you like fashion, models or are interested in pop culture, this book is a must. Especially if you want to get involved in this industry, you must read this book. A real eye opener. I just wish there would have been another couple of hundred pages. Excellent read....more, more, more.
Rating: Summary: I Love This Book Review: I read this book out of sheer curiosity. And I was most pleased. I can't believe that it has taken for so long for this story to come out. Please be sure that I will recommend this book to all my friends in the fashion industry. One thing I wish, was that the author wrote a bit more about his fascinating undercover escapade. Otherwise, this was truly a great read.
Rating: Summary: Brave, Fascinating Book Review: I read this book straight through last weekend. I could barely put it down. This book really hits home for anyone involved in the fashion industry. I have been involved in fashion for more than 20 years. It's about time someone was brave enough to expose some of the bad dealings of the industry. Hopefully, Mr. Halperin's startling revelations will help make more people aware that it's important to beware of who you get involved with in this business. There are many bad apples out there. I encourage all parents and young models to pick up this book before getting involved in the industry. All your questions of what it's like to be a model and how to choose the right agent will be answered. And of course, you'll be intrigued by some of the horrific experiences some of the top models you see on TV have encountered. The author posed undercover as a model to get all the dirt. And he certainly does not hold back in revealing the truth about our glamorous industry.
