Book Description
An exploration of what it means to be fabulous--and why eccentric style, fashion, and creativity are more political than ever Prince once told us not to hate him 'cause he's fabulous. But what does it mean to be fabulous? Is fabulous style only about labels, narcissism, and selfies--looking good and feeling gorgeous? Or can acts of fabulousness be political gestures, too? What are the risks of fabulousness? And in what ways is fabulous style a defiant response to the struggles of living while marginalized? madison moore answers these questions in a timely and fascinating book that explores how queer, brown, and other marginalized outsiders use ideas, style, and creativity in everyday life. Moving from catwalks and nightclubs to the street, moore dialogues with a range of fabulous and creative powerhouses, including DJ Vjuan Allure, voguing superstar Lasseindra Ninja, fashion designer Patricia Field, performance artist Alok Vaid-Menon, and a wide range of other aesthetic rebels from the worlds of art, fashion, and nightlife. In a riveting synthesis of autobiography, cultural analysis, and ethnography, moore positions fabulousness as a form of cultural criticism that allows those who perform it to thrive in a world where they are not supposed to exist.

Superheroes with benefits is a thing, right? Bryn Terrell hasn't had a truly great day since supervillains popped up in her city. What she needs is a partner. Someone with powers complementary to her own who won't trigger her imposter syndrome. Someone like... Declan Rhoades. Sure, he's grumpy. Rudely sexy. And he has zero interest in helping her fight crime. But he owes her one-in a big way. It was a perfect plan. Until a snowstorm stranded her at his Fortress of Grumpitude and everything changed. Now, she's stuck sharing a cabin-and only one bed!-with a genetically engineered, antisocial lumberjack whose only friends are a three-legged wolf and a surly beaver. (No, those aren't euphemisms for anything.) She knows she'll eventually have to get back to her job, with or without him. But the real question is...whatever will they do to pass the time while they wait out the storm? Caped and Dangerous, book 2 in the Grumpy Superheroes series, is a light, fluffy, snarky superhero romantic comedy that can be read as a standalone.

Cape Cod

Languages : en
Pages : 204
Book Description
Hero to environmentalists and ecologists, and an insightful thinker on humanity's happiness, Henry David Thoreau was one of the strongest shapers of the American character in the 19th century. The writer himself once said, "I am eager to report the glory of the universe," and in this delightful work-not published till 1865, after his death-he regales us with tales of his time on Massachusetts' Cape Cod, to where he journeyed four times between 1849 and 1857. While still profoundly philosophical, this is Thoreau's lightest work, full of amusing and reflective anecdotes about the wildlife, human inhabitants, and fishing industry that characterized the island of the day. Charming and provocative, *Cape Cod* will be cherished by readers of modern philosophies and armchair travelers alike. Writer and philosopher HENRY DAVID THOREAU (1817-1862) was born in Concord, Massachusetts, and educated at Harvard University. His writings on human nature, materialism, and the natural world rank him among the most influential thinkers of American literature.
