About this product
Product Information
Sex. Trauma. Abuse. Fashion. Photography. Glamour. Cash. Alcohol. Drugs. Fame. Rock Bottom. Triumph. For Janice Dickinson, life just never stops coming. "Models are supposed to be dumb, right? And, yes, there are plenty of pretty girls who are thick as posts. But most of us can actually walk and talk and snort coke at the same time. And some of us even ask ourselves Big Questions, like What the f--- does it all mean?" In more than 25 years on the catwalk, Janice Dickinson has lived out nine lives and more. In the 1970s-era of the all-American blonde-she emerged as a pioneer, the first lush-lipped, exotic brunette to make it big. When models made $150 an hour, she demanded $20,000 a day...and got it. She graced every major magazine, in photos by Avedon and Irving Penn and fashions by Versace and Calvin Klein. In Paris and Milan and Studio 54, she partied and debauched with Gia Carangi and Jack Nicholson, Mick Jagger and Sylvester Stallone. She was called "the most operatic character ever to grace a fashion page"--and her fall from grace only proved it. Yet the story Janice has lived to tell is no mere diva cartoon. What she reveals in Car Wreck Woman for the first time--about her childhood, her family, her psyche, and her unlikely survival--is unforgettable. And it will make this one of the most talked-about books of the year.

Reviews
Gisele, Naomi, Kate--none of you would be where you are now without Janice Dickinson. . . the pioneering princess of high fashion., "Gisele, Naomi, Kate--none of you would be where you are now without Janice Dickinson. . . the pioneering princess of high fashion." -- New York Post "Wild . . . surely raising eyebrows--and blood pressure--from Milano to Mullholland Drive. . . . her deft recollections ring tellingly true." -- Elle "Dickinson gossips like a pro . . . but her tough-girl-survives-against-the-odds attitude manages to make the dirt she dishes shamefully savory. " -- Entertainment Weekly "Janice . . . speaks with the candor of Cher, the bite of Joan Rivers and the sexual bonhomie of Mae West." -- Liz Smith, New York Post "Dickinson...set off a revolution. She was the first of modeling's bad girls, and she did nothing to hide it." -- Michael Gross, author of Model "She's a brilliant model, the best ever, I think. She will be talked about for as long as modeling exists." -- Tara Shannon, Model "Engaging . . . vivid . . . illuminating. . . . [Janice] survives it all--cushioned by her beauty, her rage, and most of all her sense of humor." -- --W Magazine "I started this book at midnight and finished at 6 A.M. (she ruined my day!). But she's High Speed Janice, spirit triumphant." -- Lauren Hutton "The ultimate insider's look at the big business of beauty. . . . Janice's story is unvarnished and raw, with all the energy and humor that has been her lifelong trademark." -- Cheryl Tiegs "I love Janice. She is crazy, unbearable, flamboyant, excessive--but she is true. There must be a reason she's been able to survive all her excesses: some kind of guardian angel who was moved by her difficult trials, her profound generosity, her truthful speech, and her lack of arrogance." -- Jean-Jacques Naudet "A roller-coaster ride through the world of modeling. . . . Dickinson comes across as a triumphant survivor. . . . Her willingness to recognize her own flaws makes it easy to relate to her positive message and should inspire readers." -- Publishers Weekly "No other catwalker has had such a yeasty life, nor been willing to speak of it so jovially and graphically. Janice . . . speaks with the candor of Cher, the bite of Joan Rivers and the sexual bonhomie of Mae West." -- Liz Smith, New York Post "Dickinson has managed to take what life has offered and work it . . . what keeps the book from becoming too tawdry is Dickinson's sense of humor." -- Women's Wear Daily "One rollercoaster of a read...Dickinson gossips like a pro...but her tough-girl-survives-against-the-odds attitude manages to make the dirt she dishes shamefully savory. B+" -- Entertainment Weekly "Janice Dickinson is a funny and fluid narrator . . . what makes [her book] interesting is her scathing inventory of everyone's desperate behavior, including her own. . . . She's like all forces of nature--you take them on their own terms. " -- New York Observer "Entirely real . . it is the honesty with which it is written that may drive you from beginning to end in a single sitting." -- The Independent
