Publisher's Summary

A memoir of a brief career as a top model - and a brutally honest account of what goes on behind the scenes in a fascinating closed industry.

Scouted in the street when she was 17, Victoire Dauxerre's story started like a teenager's dream: within months she was on the catwalks of New York's major fashion shows and part of the most select circle of in-demand supermodels in the world.

But when fashion executives and photographers began to pressure her about her weight, forcing her to become ever thinner, Victoire's fantasy came at a cost. Food was now her enemy, and soon, living on only three apples a day and Diet Coke galore, Victoire became anorexic.

An unflinching, painful exposé of the uglier face of fashion, her testimony is a shocking example of how our culture's mechanisms of anorexia and bulimia can push a young woman to the point of suicide.

It is the story of a survivor whose fight against poisonous illness and body image shows us how to take courage and embrace life.

review

she repeated words frequently. I had no idea how the fashion world really was and listening to the horrors of it was difficult. I found myself rolling my eyes a bit during it because she was a bit selfish and whined alot. Her father made me very upset at the end, not much of a parent if you ask me. After finishing the book i would recommend it and it gave a glance into a very bizarre world of incouraging people to starve them selves and be as thin as possible.
