recommended for: fashionistas, women with body-image stuff (and who *doesn't* have that?)
This book is what I wish "The Bigger the Better the Tighter the Sweater" had been. It's another series of essays, this time loosely based around fashion and how we construct our identities visually. I thought it was a little heavy on the number of essays by gay folks trying to figure out how to dress (I related more to the essays on feminism vs. fashion - can you be into both?), but overall both an entertaining and thoughtful read. Makes me want to hit my favorite thrift stores right now!
