Alice By Heart
Author: Steven Sater
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 0451478150
Category : Young Adult Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 290
Book Description
A young girl takes refuge in a London Tube station during WWII and confronts grief, loss, and first love with the help of her favorite book, Alice in Wonderland, in the debut novel from Tony Award-winning playwright Steven Sater. London, 1940. Amidst the rubble of the Blitz of World War II, fifteen-year-old Alice Spencer and her best friend, Alfred, are forced to take shelter in an underground tube station. Sick with tuberculosis, Alfred is quarantined, with doctors saying he won't make it through the night. In her desperation to keep him holding on, Alice turns to their favorite pastime: recalling the book that bonded them, and telling the story that she knows by heart--the story of Alice in Wonderland. What follows is a stunning, fantastical journey that blends Alice's two worlds: her war-ravaged homeland being held together by nurses and soldiers and Winston Churchill, and her beloved Wonderland, a welcome distraction from the bombs and the death, but a place where one rule always applies: the pages must keep turning. But then the lines between these two worlds begin to blur. Is that a militant Red Cross Nurse demanding that Alice get BACK. TO. HER. BED!, or is it the infamous Queen of Hearts saying...something about her head? Soon, Alice must decide whether to stay in Wonderland forever, or embrace the pain of reality if that's what it means to grow up. In this gorgeous YA adaption of his off-Broadway musical, the Tony Award-winning co-creator of Spring Awakening encourages us all to celebrate the transformational power of the imagination, even in the harshest of times.

Pages : 123
Book Description
Happily married, Alaric and Morgana purchase a remote horse ranch in order for Alaric to immerse himself in his kinky pursuits – cross-dressing, chastity devices, rubber bondage, breath restriction and suspension. While Morgana has no interest in his kinky fascinations, she leaves her husband free to pursue them. Months later, while she’s away visiting friends, Alaric arranges for a total self-bondage experience from which he’ll be unable to escape. He enlists the help of his Mistress friend to release him later that day after some thrilling torment. An ingenious computer controls every facet of the bondage. He’s partially-gagged within a locked-on gas mask and helmet, denied of sight and sound. He has no idea of what is to come, or for how long he’ll be compelled to endure the torment. He knows only that he’ll be milked both as a female and a male, while many other nasty surprises await! What he also doesn't know is that his Mistress friend has been working with his wife to create this exact situation, and he’s unwittingly fallen into their trap! Now his fate lies in the hands of a once lovely wife who’s turned into the cruelest of Mistresses. Will he be kept forever in this punitive chastity ensemble? She alone holds the answer.

Book Description
Fifty years after her death, Marilyn remains an incandescent movie star, legendary sex symbol, and a woman whose private life fascinates the public—but the story never before showcased is Marilyn Monroe's enduring impact on fashion. From the pink satin “Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend” gown, to the pleated white dress from The Seven Year Itch to the revealing nude sheath worn to sing “Happy Birthday” to JFK, Marilyn created endless unforgettable looks. Before they were household names, she wore Ferragamo pumps, carried Gucci bags and wore the designs of Oleg Cassini, Norman Norell, Emilio Pucci and Jean Louis. In an era of Peter Pan collars, poodle skirts, and repressed sexuality, Marilyn's sexy style and ability to spot up-and-coming designers made her a fashion visionary. Marilyn in Fashion traces the evolution of her style, from wholesome sweetness early in her career, to sex kitten looks in the ‘50s, to elegant sophistication in the last years of her life. The text details the designers of her ensembles, where she wore them, and their influence on fashion. Behind-the-scenes stories reveal how the star often worked closely with designers to create looks befitting the Marilyn Monroe image. Illustrated with hundreds of rare and never-before-published photos, Marilyn in Fashion fabulously traces the style evolution of the ultimate Hollywood icon.
