Bad Girls of Fashion: Style Rebels from Cleopatra to Lady Gaga by Jennifer Croll Hardback Book: 206 pages
Really in your face kind of radical cool backgrounds told here on notable women who have promoted fashion, feminine empowerment, trend setting, leadership, you name it. These gals are good. Women with business savvy (Madonna is such a smart business woman she was one of my Economics professors’ favorite people along with Alan Greenspan, Warren Buffet…), women who know how to reinvent themselves, women who turn heads, women who shock (Bjork in her swan dress, Lady Gaga in her meat outfit complete with flank steak accessories hat, purse and shoes. Really detailed bios on the famous, the infamous and the legendary. St. Louisan Josephine Baker complete with the outfit she is still known today for, Maryland native Wallis Simpson who brought down an English Monarchy, gender bender Marlena Dietrich, Anna Wintour who Meryl Streep’s character in the “Devil Wears Prada” was based on, Rihanna whose known for her beauty and fashion flare as well as her singing fame. Why Lilith is even given a bow here. Radical Punk Rockers Kathleen Hanna, Girl Groups Bikini Kill, citizens of and enemies of the Russian state known for their political protesting through their music and fashion – Pussy Riot, who served two years in prison but continue to rouse revolutionary spirit through their feminine power through their fans around the world. You will learn so many things about having a voice in the world, standing up to haters and how to stop letting others vilify your differences by embracing the freak in you and letting that image shine as an example to others to embrace our differences and be proud of who we are whatever we may be it is the genuine us. Very well written. I highly recommend this for everyone who has felt unaccepted for who they are. Darlings you are in delicious company! Let that freak flag fly and embrace the you you are. Good book.
