Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal
Grade 7 Up–Former model turned teen magazine writer and editor turned media-awareness activist, Brashich has created an accessible guide that explores the relationship between self-esteem and pop culture. Taking her cues from authors such as Naomi Wolf, she challenges readers to feel good about themselves in spite of a culture that celebrates thinness and celebrity, and to see that beauty comes in many shapes and sizes. She shares personal experiences and incorporates quotes from teens, emphasizing that while it's OK to enjoy the occasional celebrity magazine or episode of America's Next Top Model, it is important to realize that it is hype. Brashich poses questions to readers and recommends activities that will help others see through the marketing. A book that offers both support and validation.–Elaine Baran Black, Gwinnett County Public Library, Lawrenceville, GA

From Booklist
Gr. 6-9. Once a starstruck teen whose admiration for "models, stars, and 'It' girls" led her to a short-lived modeling career, Brashich now writes for magazines such as Sassy and Shape. Here, she myth-busts the glamour of female celebrity, combining chatty humor ("True, [stars] go to the Oscars, but that show is freakin' long and boring") with quotes from real girls and provocative facts (based on their Body Mass Indexes, recent Miss America winners would have been considered malnourished by the World Health Organization). Though Brashich persuasively makes her points, the book's design is workmanlike, and its intended audience is difficult to pinpoint; chipper line drawings and earnest suggestions seem to target tweens, while references to the infamous Paris Hilton video and to Bitch magazine seem best suited to YAs. But the substantive, often entertaining content, backed up by endnotes and further resources, will serve both groups well, and many readers will find their way to Brashich's Web site, where they will be able post responses to the book's "Back Talk" sidebars.

5.0 out of 5 stars ALL MADE UP takes on TomKat and Brangelina!, May 21, 2006
WOW! This easy and entertaining read by former model and girls' activist Audrey Brashich could not have arrived at a better moment. American women and girls are increasingly frothing at the mouth for the mundane details of the lives of Britney, Jen, and "celebutantes" like Paris Hilton. This addictive focus on a handful of Beautiful People is drowning out substance, like "real" news of the world instead of who's choosing an exotic baby name, real achievements by real women, instead of who's in rehab again or was seen on a shopping spree, and real beauty instead of an unattainable combination of Barbielike measurements. Many girls these days "get" that there's a difference between stars'/models' lives and reality. However, media mania is so pervasive that girls are bound to be affected in many subtle ways. ALL MADE UP will help any girl see herself and her world more clearly. Every preteen and teen (female and male) should check this book out now.--Catherine Dee, author of THE GIRLS' GUIDE TO LIFE and THE GIRLS' BOOK OF WISDOM

5.0 out of 5 stars Girls, read this now!, May 9, 2006
I wish I had this book when I was young. I want to give it to every teenage girl growing up in today's twisted world of skinny, shallow celebrity worship--and to every parent of every teen girl, and to every teen boy who blindly believes what he's told about what makes chicks cool and attractive. It's a rare treat to find a book on this subject that is smart without being preachy, informative without being pedantic, and provocative without being alienating. This is what teen magazines should be. This is what parenting guides should be. This is what we all should have been told as we entered puberty.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is a new outlook on life!, May 4, 2006
By divaesque (chicago, IL) - See all my reviews
Media ia so much a part of our lives that we so rarely even stop to consider the effect it has on something as fundamental as body image.
The situation gets worse when you try to consider just how to speak to the younger generation about such things without invoking pedantics.
But Audrey Brashich gets right to the heart of the matter in this book, by speaking the right language, using all the right examples, and never, ever preaching.
More than an information goldmine, this book is a great guide on how to decipher the media--and to take away from it what's useful and good about it, and leave the rest of it behind.
It's a terrific resource for teachers!
