Sometimes those little snippets on the front of the lifestyle mags really speak to you, don’t they?? “Dress Yourself Thin.” “Get Your Skin to Glow.” “Make Men Melt.”
But “who would be crazy enough to believe a bunch of women’s glossies?” asked author Cathy Alter. And then she thought… it might be a really interesting experiment. So she spent a full year of her life following nine of the top female files to see if they could really make her the perfect person.
“Up For Renewal: What Magazine’s Taught Me About Sex, Love and Starting Over” was the result of the of the provocative experience. And now, after being recognized by People magazine and optioned for a made-for-TV movie, the book is out in paperback, just in time to devour over your summer stint at the beach.
Get your copy and meet the author! On Thursday, July 30th (6-8 PM) at Ginger Boutique on Bethesda Row, Cathy will be reading, signing, sipping some cocktails and introducing renowned jewelry designer Suzanne Somersall for an on-site trunk show of her new Barcelona Collection. rsvp@thepattongroup.com
