Model: The Ugly Business of Beautiful Women

Model: The Ugly Business of Beautiful Women Book Description

With reference to the most popular models in the industry today, a fashion insider goes beyond modeling's carefully constructed facade to expose the scandal, rape, sex, and drugs that permeate the seemingly glamorous business. Photos.
"Model" is the definitive story of the international modeling business -- and its evil twin: legalized flesh peddling. It's a tale of beautiful women empowered and subjugated, of vast sums of money, of sex and drugs, obsession, and tragic death. At its heart is the most unholy combination in commerce: beautiful, young women and rich, lascivious men.

Investigative journalist Michael Gross has interviewed modeling's pioneers, survivors, and hangers-on, telling the story of the greats: Lisa Fonssagrives; Anita Colby; Candy Jones; Dorian Leigh and her sister Suzy Parker; Jean Shrimpton and Twiggy; Veruschka and Lauren Hutton; Janice Dickinson and Patti Hansen; and the supermodel Trinity: Christy, Naomi, and Linda.

Taking us into the private studios and hidden villas where models play and are preyed upon, Gross tears down modeling's carefully constructed faCade to reveal untold truths of the ugly trade in pretty women.
