Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As I climbed into a large basket in the centre of the stage, I was terrified. On the other side of this vast wall of red curtains was an audience of 200 people. And here I was, a country girl wearing a costume I made from the curtains in my caravan. Inside my basket, I was so nervous I felt sick. What am I doing? How am I going to pull this off? Then it occurred to me, how the hell am I going to get out of this basket without toppling over? I could hear the emcee start my introduction: “And now, the glamorous, the gorgeous, Velvet Amour, performing the Dance of the Seven Veils.” The music started, and then it happened. All the people, the nerves, and fear washed away. I elegantly flowed out of the basket and became someone else. No longer a frightened young girl from the bush, I was powerful. I was magnificent. I was home. My Bare Lady is the autobiography of one of Australia’s original burlesque queens. It is a story of sacrifice and joy; failure and success; pain and pleasure. Discover how Velvet became one of Australia’s brightest stars, and how she waded through the gritty underworld she had to overcome to get to the top.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About the Book Don Alverzo’s Tweezers is about Gregory Basenfelder’s life growing up, and how he kept a secret during that time about something he did, but felt he could never tell anyone, so he lived with guilt and fear since then. It was a “mortal sin,” and he believed he was going to hell so he fought ideas of doing more mortal sins. “Gregory was really smart and had a great sense of humor, and we were so much in love. He promised to take care of me after I had multiple hip surgeries in 2019, but he got so sick, and, of course, I forgave him.” – Charlotte Basenfelder About the Author Gregory was born in 1952. He grew up as the second son with three brothers in NE Philadelphia, and his parents raised all four sons as “good Catholics.” We met each other in 1987 and married in 1992. We both loved traveling and drove back and forth to California up and down the West Coast from Mexico to North California. He loved trains and built a train set in our living room. We met each other in a recovery meeting and I hired him to work in my dialysis unit where I was the administrator. I fell in love with him after watching him do CPR on one of our patients; he was my hero. We were both nurses, and he eventually transferred to another unit where he became the unit administrator. Our company had annual meetings for all of the administrators and each year we went to a different state, so we always rented a car and traveled around that state wherever that took us. When we drove to California for our vacations, we decided to camp out on our way there several times. We were both involved in recovery.

Download or read book Wild Spirit written by Audrey Carlan and published by Audrey Carlan, INC.. This book was released on 2021-08-16 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The newest sizzling romance from Audrey Carlan, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Calendar Girl series. When I was born, I was beloved by my parents. I felt their warmth from the tips of my toes to the untamable curls in my hair—until tragedy hit and I lost them both. With no extended family, I ended up in Kerrighan House, a home for girls just like me—girls who’d lost everything. Mama Kerri took me in and treated me with nothing but love, as did the rest of my sisters of the soul. In that house, we formed a bond that could never be broken. Now danger seems to follow all of us. But what danger could come to me: a petite, high-school Spanish teacher who’d never hurt a fly? The only one on my tail is Omar Alvarado, the bodyguard hired to protect me from the danger lurking around my sisters. The more I shun his advances though, the harder he tries to earn my favor. Omar seems to like my brand of sass and doesn’t hide the fact he wants me for his own. I’m determined to not get caught up in his beautiful smile, the sexy suggestions he whispers in my ear, or that incredible body that would make any woman swoon with desire. Even with the tension rising between us, all seemed to be kept in check—until I found myself in the middle of a high stakes bank robbery. And the only one who could save me, was the one man I tried so desperately to push away.

Download or read book Makeover TV written by Brenda R. Weber and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2009-11-20 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2004, roughly 25 makeover-themed reality shows aired on U.S. television. By 2009, there were more than 250, from What Not to Wear and The Biggest Loser to Dog Whisperer and Pimp My Ride. In Makeover TV, Brenda R. Weber argues that whether depicting transformations of bodies, trucks, finances, relationships, kids, or homes, makeover shows posit a self achievable only in the transition from the “Before-body”—the overweight figure, the decrepit jalopy, the cluttered home—to the “After-body,” one filled with confidence, coded with celebrity, and imbued with a renewed faith in the powers of meritocracy. The rationales and tactics invoked to achieve the After-body vary widely, from the patriotic to the market-based, and from talk therapy to feminist empowerment. The genre is unified by its contradictions: to uncover your “true self,” you must be reinvented; to be empowered, you must surrender to experts; to be special, you must look and act like everyone else. Based on her analysis of more than 2,500 hours of makeover TV, Weber argues that the much-desired After-body speaks to and makes legible broader cultural narratives about selfhood, citizenship, celebrity, and Americanness. Although makeovers are directed at both male and female viewers, their gendered logic requires that feminized subjects submit to the controlling expertise wielded by authorities. The genre does not tolerate ambiguity. Conventional (middle-class, white, ethnically anonymous, heterosexual) femininity is the goal of makeovers for women. When subjects are male, makeovers often compensate for perceived challenges to masculine independence by offering men narrative options for resistance or control. Foregoing a binary model of power and subjugation, Weber provides an account of makeover television that is as appreciative as it is critical. She reveals the makeover show as a rich and complicated text that expresses cultural desires and fears through narratives of selfhood.
