News and views from the Solid advice on beauty
The wacky women who brought us gurl.com and the book Deal With It!, Rebecca Odes, Esther Drill, and Heather McDonald, also wrote The Looks Book: A Whole New Approach to Beauty, Body Image, and Style (646.7Od2l). They articulate the concerns we think about constantly but don't dare voice aloud - why looks matter, why we are so obsessed with our appearance, why we think everyone else looks great but we don't.
Part 2 has a chapter on each body part women fret about. Really. Nose, mouth, teeth, boobs, butt, skin, even body hair. All topics are demystified and subjected to humorous scrutiny. Part 3 showcases a "look" per chapter. Bombshell, goth, new wave, baby doll, bad girl, diva, power jock, goddess, androgyne, girl next door, and a bunch of others.
The book is filled with funky, hip art. Here is a montage from a page of stylin' shoes:

For your reading convenience, I've made a display of books I've blogged about recently. You'll find them on the shelf above the new magazines. After a bit, they return to their homes on the shelves, in regular old call number order. So come on down!!
