Traditionally, women share their secrets with their
hairdressers. But what about their manicurists, masseurs,
chi gong teachers, and tattoo artists? In Damage Control,
women wax poetic about the experts and gurus who help them
love themselves, sharing stories of everything from
friendships born in the make-up chair to the utter dismay of
a truly horrible haircut. Minnie Driver finally meets a Frenchman who understands her
hair . . . and tries to teach her not to hate it. Marian Keyes remembers the blow-dry that pushed her over the
edge. Francesca Lia Block tells the ugly story of the plastic
surgeon who promised to make her beautiful. Rose McGowan explains why it's harder to be depressed when
you're glamorous . . . and shows how it takes a village to
transform from mere mortal to movie star. Witty and wise, Damage Control is an intimate, sometimes
dark, look at our experiences with the professionals who
pluck, prod, and pamper every inch of our bodies—and a
reminder why we surrender ourselves to their (hopefully)
very capable hands.
