Being a bored, disinterested, even condescending ignoramus about beauty and fashion, I'm surprised I even bought this book ... except for the screaming mirror which assaults and insults me daily for my current appearance.

For those of us unimpressed by the fashion industry but more than a little disgruntled by the changes occurring in our aging bodies, this book is a Godsend. Christopher Hopkins crystalizes and verbalizes some of my basic instincts about dressing and taught me oh-so-much more. I'm a levis girl and don't expect that to change, but this book definitely illuminated the caverns of my mind regarding how to deal with these seemingly disheartening alterations in my appearance. And sloppiness to cover frumpiness is not the answer. Mr. Hopkin's sense of humor is delightful and his positive attitude encouraging. Of most enjoyment to me, however, was the weaving of a very subtle spirituality especially in the beginning of the book.

The pictures and font size only enhances the book's value. Yes, this book deserves 5 stars Plus!
