Synopsis

It's not often a major household-name star admits to having had facial surgery. It's even rarer when she decides to make public a detailed, personal diary which gives a blow-by-blow account of the whole process, from the initial decision and the search for the right surgeon, to the nerve-wracking waiting period, the surgery itself, the recovery, and on to the final transformation. Yet this is exactly what Toyah Willcox has done. In an astonishingly brave, honest, occasionally gruesome and frequently hilarious account, Toyah lifts the lid on a subject which has never been hotter, yet is still shrouded in secrecy and hypocrisy. In doing so, she has given us a fascinating exploration of the nature of celebrity, ageing and beauty in the twenty-first century.

About the Author

Toyah Willcox had a remarkably diverse career which has kept her in the public eye for almost thirty years. She is not only an acclaimed singer, but also a successful actress, presenter, writer and business-woman. Her first notable film role came in Derek Jarman's seminal punk epic Jubilee. She later starred alongside Katharine Hepburn in The Corn Is Green, as well as playing 'Monkey' in the cult film Quadrophenia, and she won a nomination for Best Newcomer at the Evening Standard Awards for her portrayal of Miranda in The Tempest. In the 1980s Toyah also had fifteen top-forty hits with songs such as 'It's a Mystery' and 'I Wanna Be Free'.

In the last two years - the busiest of her life - she has performed in front of at least half a million people in more than five hundred shows, including eleven stadium gigs on the sold-out Here and Now Tour in 2002, and appearing in the title role of Calamity Jane (in London's West End and on a UK tour). In 2003 Toyah appeared in the second series of I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here!, alongside Danniella Westbrook.

Toyah also takes great pleasure in her role as a motivational speaker, which involves addressing adults about further-education opportunities and overcoming the perceived handicap of dyslexia. In her mid-forties, Toyah feels life has only just begun.

Toyah lives in Worcestershire and London with her husband, the guitarist Robert Fripp.

Nice tight copy, no names or marks inside, appears unread and near as new. DJ design and photography by Dean Stockings. ; Colour Photographs; 224 pages; Like many women in their mid-forties, Toyah Wilcox felt an increasing distance between the lively, energetic person she knew herself to be, and the tired, lined face that stared back at her from the mirror. Working in an industry that places a high value on youth she experimented for a few years on diet and Botox treatments before deciding to take the step of cosmetic surgery. But what exactly happens when you decide to have a facelift? In an astonishingly brave, honest, occasionally gruesome and frequently hilarious account, Toyah lifts the lid on the subject. In doing so, she has given us a fascinating exploration of the nature of celebrity, ageing and beauty in the twenty-first century. Seller Inventory # 34095
