This text explains why you don't have to look like a supermodel, why you will never look like a supermodel, how to stay healthy and gorgeous in your own way and how to recognize scams, false advertising and misogyny. Written in Kaz Cooke's snappy, humorous style and illustrated with her distinctive, sharp cartoons, the text encourages modern girls to take the current ideal female image less seriously and to decode the myriad images thrust at them by the media, and the clothing and cosmetics industries. This book has been produces as an animated short film starring the popular Kaz Cooke character, Hermoine, the Modern Girl.
