Didn't I Feed You Yesterday?: A Mother's Guide to Sanity in Stilettos - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Laura Bennett is not a soccer mom or a PTA mom or a helicopter mom—and she’s certainly not mother of the year. Another breed of mother entirely, Laura is surely more Auntie Mame than June Cleaver. As a busy mother of six, Laura is on an impossible mission: raising a brood of fast-moving, messy, wild sons in the jungles of Manhattan. So what other choice does she have than to sit back, grab a martini, and let the boys be, er, boys?In Didn’t I Feed You Yesterday?, Laura gives her irreverent take on modern motherhood and proves that a strong sense of humor and an even stronger sense of self are the mother’s milk of sanity. In a series of refreshingly candid and hilarious anecdotes, she unapologetically breaks every rule in the Brady Bunch playbook: She gives her kids junk food, plays favorites, and openly admits to having “a genetic predisposition to laissez-faire parenting.” Children, she observes, don’t need constant supervision from neurotic, perfectionist parents. Allow kids to make mistakes and entertain themselves and they’ll turn out just fine—even if you do sometimes forget to pick them up from school.Beyond the mayhem of a life among males, Laura celebrates the glories of womanhood with a generous helping of wit and style. She gives thanks to the fashion gods for the essentials—red lipstick, Manolo Blahniks, and Lycra shapewear—but reminds us that true style comes from an inner compass that points directly at oneself. In every aspect of life, Laura gives one simple, powerful piece of advice: “Dress like you want it or stay home.” Brutally honest, outrageous, and sure to raise a few eyebrows, Didn’t I Feed You Yesterday? is a riotously funny read—and it’ll go fabulously well with your new handbag.

You Say More Than You Think: A 7-Day Plan for Using the New Body Language to Get What You Want - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Mind not only what people say, but how they say it; and if you have any sagacity, youmay discover more truth by your eyes than by your ears. People can say what they will, but theycannot look just as they will; and their looks frequently reveal what their words are calculated toconceal.—LORD CHESTERFIELD (1694–1773), LETTER TO HIS SONImagine a mirror suddenly dropped down before you during your last meeting, salesnegotiation, date, friendly get-together, or confrontation.Would you be able to spot the subtle nonverbal clues that may be sabotaging you in thesesituations—and keeping you from reaching your fullest potential?Are your facial expressions awkward?Are your hand gestures not quite right?Do you appear weak or arrogant or older than you are?Does the way you shake hands discourage people from doing business with you?Does your body language clash with your words?Do you have a glaring flaw that everyone notices but you?We interact with other people all day long, in every meaningful moment in our lives. Butwe don’t always understand what they’re thinking—nor do they understand our thoughts. If wedon’t have well-developed social perception, we may experience repeated failures: losing to thecompetition, job interview bombs, failed dates, trampled trust. But if we can hone that perception,learn to read people better, and communicate more effectively, that knowledge helps us in everypart of our lives. We start to enjoy more exciting career opportunities, more honest friendships,better dating prospects, even more frequent wins at work!Look at the successful people who cross your path daily. I’d bet most have at least twocharacteristics in common. First, they possess a sense of serene self-awareness. They seemcomfortable in their own skin. Second, they have a better-than-average ability to connect withother people. They know how to put people at ease and create an immediate sense of rapport.Both of these traits stem directly from a strong command of body language.Uncovering the mysteries of body language—how people communicate their thoughtsand feelings without saying a word—is a powerful first step toward mastering any socialsituation. All successful people know that the ability to detect and react to the split-second signalsthat skim across people’s bodies hundreds of times each day is crucial to getting what they wantin life. When something they’re doing isn’t effective, they’ve learned how to adjust their actionsto maximize the moment
The Reclining Nude: Agnes Varda, Catherine Breillat, and Nan Goldin - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: The figure of a woman reclining, in repose, displayed, abandoned, fallen, asleep, or dreaming, returns in the work of women filmmakers and photographers in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Filmmakers Agnès Varda and Catherine Breillat, and American photographer working in Paris, Nan Goldin, return to the paintings of Titian, Velázquez, Goya, Courbet, and others, re-imagining, and re-purposing, their images of female beauty, display, (auto)eroticism, and intimacy. This book, a sensuous evocation of these feminist works, claims a female-identified pleasure in looking. The artists explored align images of repose and sensuality with other images of horizontality and proneness, of strong emotional content, images of erotic involvement, of vulnerability, of bodily contortion, of listlessness, grief, and depression. The reclining nude is for all three artists a starting point for a reflection on the relation of film, projections, and still photography, to painting, and a sustained re-imagining of the meanings conjured through serial returns to a particular pose. This book claims that the image of the reclining nude is compelling, for female-identified artists - and for all allied in feeling and picturing femininity - in the sensitive, ethically adventurous, politically complex feminist issues it engages. The reclining nude is an image of passivity, of submission, of hedonism. It allows thought about passivity as pleasure, about depression and grief figured posturally, about indolence as a form of resistance and anarchy. Through this image, female-identified artists have claimed freedom to offer new focus on these extremes of emotion. They are re-imagining horizontality.
One for the Girls!: The Pleasures and Practices of Reading Women's Porn - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: We usually think of women as the victims of pornography rather than its consumers. Whether appearing in films, peering provocatively from the pages of magazines, or posing on explicit Web-sites, women are considered the dehumanized objects of unseen lascivious male viewers. But in her controversial new book One for the Girls!, Clarissa Smith debunks this myth and challenges women to read, watch, and enjoy pornography on their own terms. Focusing on the British magazine For Women, Smith looks at its readers’ responses to male pinups and erotica and explores the intricacies of women’s unique reactions to pornography.  “Clarissa Smith has achieved something special with her new proffering from her masculinities repertoire. Smith’s text is groundbreaking, multidisciplinary and—equally importantly—extremely readable. It is the last point perhaps that really sets this work apart, as One for the Girls has a great deal to offer both the specialist academic and the general reader. Clarissa Smith’s accessible style allows readers with little prior knowledge of critical theory, cultural studies or the 1980s pornography debate, to not only understand these discourses, but to develop a strong grasp of their impact in this context.”—Michelle Parsons, Transition Tradition
Attached: The New Science of Adult Attachment and How It Can Help You Find – and Keep – Love - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Is there a science to love? In this groundbreaking book, psychiatrist and neuroscientist Amir Levine and Rachel S. F. Heller reveal how an understanding of attachment theory-the most advanced relationship science in existence today-can help us find and sustain love. Attachment theory forms the basis for many bestselling books on the parent/child relationship, but there has yet to be an accessible guide to what this fascinating science has to tell us about adult romantic relationships-until now. Attachment theory owes its inception to British psychologist and psychoanalyst John Bowlby, who in the 1950s examined the tremendous impact that our early relationships with our parents or caregivers has on the people we become. Also central to attachment theory is the discovery that our need to be in a close relationship with one or more individuals is embedded in our genes. In Attached, Levine and Heller trace how these evolutionary influences continue to shape who we are in our relationships today. According to attachment theory, every person behaves in relationships in one of three distinct ways: *ANXIOUS people are often preoccupied with their relationships and tend to worry about their partner's ability to love them back. *AVOIDANT people equate intimacy with a loss of independence and constantly try to minimize closeness. *SECURE people feel comfortable with intimacy and are usually warm and loving. Attached guides readers in determining what attachment style they and their mate (or potential mates) follow. It also offers readers a wealth of advice on how to navigate their relationships more wisely given their attachment style and that of their partner. An insightful look at the science behind love, Attached offers readers a road map for building stronger, more fulfilling connections.Author(s): Amir Levine, Rachel Heller Publisher: Penguin Group USA, Year: 2010 ISBN: 1585428485,9781585428489
