Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. "With humor and candor, Die Hot With a Vengeance shows why beauty should be a tool of self-expression, not self-hate." - TIME*ONE OF BUSTLE'S MOST ANTICIPATED SUMMER READS*Journalist and former Allure editor Sable Yong debuts with a sharp-toothed and hilarious essay collection about beauty and vanity, a work of unflinching cultural criticism that examines their stigmatization in the cultural zeitgeist, and how to shift the focus to use both for powerful tools for self-exploration, interpersonal connection, and cultural change.The beauty industry has a single mandate: be hot.In the same week that you might be encouraged to try curtain bangs, contouring, bleached eyebrows, laser facials, buccal fat removal, fillers, and "non-invasive" facelifts, you?re simultaneously absorbing mantras about self-care, body positivity, empowerment, and loving yourself just as you are.Overwhelmed yet? Fear not. Die Hot with a Vengeance delves into the machinations of the multi-billion-dollar beauty industry, offering readers an expert analysis of its inner workings with the precision of a scalpel and the humor of a stand-up comedian. Along the way, this pop culture memoir sets off to answer some of the biggest questions of our time: How do you break through the noise of beauty and wellness culture?s endless optimization protocols?How can you find actual authenticity in a world of performative artifice?Can the antidote to aging be found in a jar, tube, or at the end of a syringe?Do blondes really have more fun?Using Yong?s many years of experience as a beauty editor to unlock the industry?s myriad secrets, Die Hot with a Vengeance gives beauty and vanity a neutralizing make-over. At its best, beauty is so much more than an aesthetic; it?s an inspirational mindset and a playfulness inherent to the practice of self-expression.And yet it?s difficult to engage playfully when it feels like beauty is an ever-moving target. We?re all subject to societal expectations surrounding impossible beauty standards, enough so that breaking through the capitalist pressures can feel impossible. Yong argues that while the mandate may be for us to be hot, the industry thrives on us absorbing its teachings so it can keep us in a constant feedback loop of appearance-based anxiety, forever perpetuating unattainable standards. Full of sharp feminist humor, Yong?s debut collection poses the most important question of all: How do you discover your value of beauty so you can free yourself from the loud and bullshitty noise of all these entities telling you that you?re not good enough?Digging deep into our most pervasive and questionable beauty trends and conventions?from skincare to social media?Die Hot with a Vengeance offers an incisive yet wry dissection of one of our most enduring cultural addictions. Irreverent, side-splittingly funny, and astute, the book is as amusing as it is insightful, an instant classic for beauty-readers and aspirant hotties alike.…
