Dal sito dell'autrice , Alex Kuczynski ...........The New York Times Book Review: (Editor's Choice book) "Cosmetic surgery is now so prevalent that it could qualify as a national epidemic. And under all that Botox -- the gateway procedure --as well as the face-lifts and tummy tucks, lies a sinister story, as deep as it is shallow. In exploring it, Kuczynski. . .has performed a real service. She gives you everything you need to know -- the menu of procedures (right down to toe liposuction), the price tags, the names of doctors and dentists, the drugs, the implements and implants, the celebrity patients. she also lays out the dangers, the diasters and the death. Along with the reporting, Kuczynski provides delicious tid-bits of the cocktail-party circuit. . .fascinating. . . ."..................The Houston Chronicle: "A rich cautionary tale of the world of cosmetic enhancement. . . Kuczynski has artfully tapped into the zeitgeist, showing us that our preoccupation with looking young has become something of a Frankenstein monster. Consider a recent New Yorker magazine cartoon: Two curvy, bikinied, long-haired beauties frolic on a beach. One says to the other, 'I never thought turning eighty would be so much fun!' Beauty Junkies is the book to read before the Botox party."......................
Wall Street Journal:" Beauty Junkies captures the sad fate that has befallen the feminine ideal: Since women can achieve an approximation of attractiveness through one procedure or another, they all end up looking vaguely like the same person: an aging porn star. In the end, the book leaves the reader not only aware of the emptiness of cosmetics surgery's results but also conscious of the vacuity of our current concept of beauty itself."....................Kathy Peiss Author of Hope in a Jar: The Making of America's Beauty Culture:"This perceptive book shows how an age-old desire to look young and attractive has turned into a national obsession with cosmetic surgery. Alex Kuczynski explores the world of Botox, liposuction, and breast implants with the skepticism of a good journalist and the ruefulness of a former consumer. These stories of self-absorbed beauty-seekers—-and the doctors and marketers who profit handsomely from them—-are told with wit and a refreshing dose of candor. The mirror she holds up to the ‘beauty junkies’ presents a disturbing portrait of contemporary American dreams of perfection and their pursuit at all costs."...................mmanuel and Robert Hart Professor of Bioethics, University of Pennsylvania Medical School:"There could not be a better guide to the tumultuous world of cosmetic surgery in America than Alex Kuczynski. . . . If you are thinking about getting something lifted, tightened, extended, augmented, suctioned or abraded this is the book to read before walking into a plastic surgeon's office."...........................Samuel Wilson Fussell author of Muscle: Confessions of an Unlikely Body Builder: "A fascinating look at life under the knife. When the surgically-altered, cosmetically-enhanced form becomes the norm, when movie stars to maids and even Presidential candidates exaggerate their smiles and eliminate their frowns through 'correction,' what does that say about who we are and what we value? Beauty Junkies addresses the why's and the wherefore's, the amazing wartime history of plastic surgeries and so much more. Hold on to your implants and enjoy the ride." un esempio italiano: ...........PIU’ BELLA SOTTO GLI SLIPLa chirurgia estetica delle parti intime , clicca
