Publisher Description

Janice Dickinson was not only the first of the supermodels, it was she who (literally) invented the term. A raven-haired natural beauty, she endured a nightmarishly traumatic childhood at the hands of a sadistic, sexually and emotionally abusive father, and emerged in the early 1970s as the first lush-lipped, "exotic" brunette to break into a modeling world dominated by sunny California blondes.

But this is more than Janice's tale of triumph. Janice also tells us what's real about beauty and what's not, and how women don't have to be slaves to the pictures they see on the glossy pages of Vogue. She discusses why we need to feel perfect, and how our pasts, our unattainable ideas of beauty, and male expectations all collude to make women feel like they should be working towards the next major makeover before next year's model steps up to the bed.

Funny, gutsy, gossipy, yet ultimately searching and unforgettable, Janice Dickinson's story is an amazing story of hard won success unlike any you've heard before.

"This book was hilarious. Janice Dickinson gives dating tips to all the women currently doing just that. It is more for women who are insecure and do not know their place when they are on a date with men. For other women, it is a hysterical book about a woman who just had tons of experience with men."

    " Oh Janice, oh you. I wonder what it is like in her head. I am kind of picturing a pinball machine. But regardless, she does have some good zingers. A nice beach read... "

    " Silly and fluffy but with her classic flat out honesty, a fun bite of a book. Don't take the advice seriously though. :) "

    " Can't say it enough... I love this woman. The funny thing about this book is that it's about her views on dating... which I don't necessarily agree with but it is funny. "

    " Although the book is said to give advice on dating for the single gal, Dickinson falls short of this promise. Filled with funny stories and notable moments, this book is much more entertaining then educational. It's an easy read that will shock you, as Janice always does! "

    " includes dish about her date with polanski who apparently didn't talk all night and then was like, "now you have sex with me." Of course our heroine slammed the limo door in his face. so awesome. "

    " This book is not really a guide to "dating, mating and extricating". Read it for entertainment purposes and to get the dirt on all the men that Janice has bedded. There's a lot of them! "

    " This is the stupidest book I have ever encountered.Dont waste your time on this unless your a Supermodel who thinks shes better then everyone else. Also, another great use for this book would be to use it to start a fire. Its not even worthy of a star "
