Fashion Slaves

Read this while vacationing in Hawaii. Good fashion references, somewhat predictable storyline, but all fun.

Louise de Teliga brings us a kind of biographical novel with NY as an awesome backdrop. Josie is an Aussie ex model who at 36 finds herself jobless and getting older by the minute; she asks ex boyfriend and power photographer to give her a job as a stylist only to sleep with his hunky and straight assistant Marcus whose photographs of her legs take her a step closer to newfound fame. Josie is a fashionista and a fashion slave, wearing tight shoes and ultra miniskirts to show off those extra long legs of hers. Cavalli, Gucci, Chanel, Prada, Vuitton, you name them, they're here and the Seventh Avenue Rodeo will only make Josie stronger and increase her ability to land on her stilettoed feet. A sharp, smart, and dark novel with the secrets to backstage shoots and fashion love affairs. All of you witty, vogue reading, fashion oriented, Manolo wearing, sexy, saucy, and gorgeous women out there... You'll love this book and all its fashion talk.

Picture this .... Saturday morning, cup of coffee, comfy in bed, raining outside, might read for a while ... now picture this, same Saturday but afternoon (late), cold cup of coffee, still in bed... had a very emotion charged day! I picked up Fashion Slaves and did not put it down until I had read every single word!! I just love it. Funny, silly, romantic, emotional and wonderful in equal measure. Can't wait to pass the word (not my book) on to my friends.

All of you smart, power shopping, Manolo wearing, Vogue reading, perfect, gorgeous women out there.......this is the book for you! Smart, saucy, sexy, and amusing---great fashion tips---and yes, love does conquer all.

Once I picked up Fashion Slaves I couldn't put it down. It's funny, dark and witty. I can't remember when I read a book and belly laughed so much. Beyond that it's humor is so sharp witted and smart, making it on of my favorite books. You will not be disappointed!
