The Arts of Beauty & Hints to Gentlemen on the Art of Fascinating

Description

Lola Montez was the greatest show-off on earth. Born in 1818, she was famous for being rowdy, wicked and gorgeous. She travelled to all corners of the earth, seducing royalty, performing sexy dances and throwing tantrums. She drove men mad with a glimpse of her breasts and horsewhipped those who insulted her, including an Australian reporter. In this smart and hilarious guide to beauty, first published in 1858, Lola Montez offers a bizarre series of hints on everything from make-up to hair disasters. And she has a word or two of indispensable advice for men who want to seduce women. With her marvellous cartoons and introduction to Lola's life, Kaz Cooke has paid homage to the original Modern Girl. If you've ever wondered whether squeezing orange juice into your eyes will brighten them, or tried to charm a girl by peering down her cleavage, The Arts of Beauty is the book for you.

Kaz Cooke is the number one go-to advisor for Australian girls and women. Her best-selling books include Girl Stuff, Women's Stuff, Up the Duff, Kidwrangling, and a series of ebooks on women's health issues from sex to mental health and menopause. Kaz's funny, friendly style is backed by research and professional consultants- she's been a best friend to at least two generations. (Her children's book The Terrible Underpants is not quite autobiographical.)
