Description

Everything About Me Is Fake is a fast, funny, name-dropping, incident-filled, sexy read about how the world’s first supermodel doesn’t even feel close to perfect and never did—despite appearances to the contrary. Even when Janice Dickinson was being stitched into clothing and having her boobs taped together for a Cosmo cover shoot, she only heard the words of her pedophile father, who always told her, “You’ll never amount to anything. You’re a loser because you’re a girl.” The book explores how women spend their lives striving for the unattainable, trying to look like they walked off the pages of a magazine with their hair bouncing in the breeze and Cover Girl smiles hiding the pain. Dickinson tells us what’s real about beauty and what’s not, and how women don’t need to be slaves to the pictures they see in Vogue. She discusses why we need to feel perfect, and how our pasts, our unattainable ideas of beauty (thanks to Hollywood), and male expectations all collide to make women feel like they should always be working toward the next major makeover. Yet Dickinson is also convinced that the world does need to glam up a bit, so she offers real tips for both men and women, drawing on the bizarre tricks of the trade that she learned while modeling all over the world. She knows what anyone can do to easily fake, feel and look as perfect as possible—without spending a million dollars or living in an operating room. She offers every beauty trick in the book—not the ones you’re used to reading, but real, concrete tips that will make anyone feel better in a matter of minutes. Dickinson also includes more illustrative anecdotes from her personal life that she didn’t include in her first book, No Lifeguard on Duty: she’s the girl who prepped JFK Jr. for Carolyn, stole Trump’s limo, got Bruce Willis to a good plastic surgeon, and made Warren Beatty mad because she was prettier than he was. But along with the wild tales of partying and bed-hopping, she tells us what it was like to strive for perfection and fail. Her way to kill the pain of that failure was pills, booze, sex, and rock stars -- until that lifestyle came crashing down around her. When you’ve spent a lifetime trying to be perfect only yo have it all cave in, the next question is perfectly simple: “Now what” The answers to that question surprise even Dickinson, a woman who isn’t easily shocked.
