Status Updates From Raquel: Beyond the Cleavage

You know, I have finally figured out why this book is making balloon animals out of my gizzards.
It's motherly. None of this fashionable "Bitch!! Please." garbage you get with most fashionable types.
She explains things. Sets out examples, even when they go against her. This could be a conversation between mother and daughter.
I lost my Mother young.
Not going to be a neutral read. No way, no how. Fascinating.

Fascinating. But I tanked on the hardcore maintenance program for the Hollywood standard of beauty. I want to finish this book, her honesty is very endearing and she's a survivor in a cruel and unforgiving profession. She made choices that i don't agree with but she owns her life.
Working up the courage to pick it up again.
