Its Cougars birthday. Hes having a party. And the gift hed kill for is youth...In a strange room in East London the party preparations are under way. Everything has been planned to the last detail. Surely nothing can go wrong? After all; theres the specially made birthday cake; the specially written cards; the specially chosen guest of honour... and a very; very sharp knife. Philip Ridleys edgy and provocative drama caused a sensation when it premiered at Hampstead Theatre in 1992; winning the Evening Standard Award for Most Promising Newcomer to the Stage and the Meyer Whitworth Prize. It is now regarded as a contemporary classic. A bit like a ride on a ghost train... you find yourself shuddering with shock and laughing uproariously... horror has rarely been so much fun Daily TelegraphScorchingly nasty... fingers an age and its icons with terrifying accuracy Guardian

A must have for women...By destiny mornaI love this book..It has great information on organizing your closet; updating and refining your wardrobe; and making your closet filled with "ready to wear" outfits and separates. It was written by a professional wardrobe consultant and stylist. The great thing is that her tips can be tailored to each individual..be she a professional working women; stay at home mom or combination of the two. Her chapters on closet organization were the best..its easy to see how your closet can get crammed and filled with seldom used things..like your prom dresses; wedding dress; off season coats etc. She is correct when she says that you use only 20% of your wardrobe..and motivates you to get rid of the 80% that is cluttering your closet. It made me want to revamp my whole closet!! Less helpful; were the chapters dealing with styling for your figure type. But that is hard to do in written form for most women. We need concrete examples...its better to just go to the store and try on bunches of stuff and see what works for your body shape. Also included in the book were worksheets and lists to help you write down your style and things you need. I didnt find these very useful but i certainly appreciate the idea. All in all; I found this book to be very helpful..i have already culled out many clothes in my wardrobe that dont work for me and I appreciate having extra space in my closet. Plus; I look forward to shopping trips where i can be more selective of what i choose. Great book!!8 of 8 people found the following review helpful. Has some good ideas butBy A CustomerI was a little disappointed. Seems to be geared toward women with a lot more clothes than I even want to own. For example; she mentions she has 14 different pairs of black pants. I also didnt think she handled knowing what looked good on you very well. For example; when she talked about necklines; she referred to about 6 styles and described them; but none were anything I basically intend to wear (all a variation of turtleneck). I know what looked good on me when I was 20; but as I get older (but not old); I need a little help to strike a balance between downright foolish and frumpy. She did have some good ideas about getting organized to make what you have more accessible and useful and it is an interesting book; just not quite what I expected.9 of 10 people found the following review helpful. Dressing Well - Great Info and Easy to ReadBy Dianne M. DanielsI loved this book - I found it via an search; because the author; Mary Lou Andre; was going to be speaking at the Rhode Island School of Design; and I wanted to read the book prior to hearing her live.I was not disappointed - Im a fellow Image Consultant; and I really enjoyed the principles on simplifying your wardrobe. I am an avid shopper; and I could easily have an overcrowded (yet fashionable) closet. Mary Lous easy manner (both in person and in her book) helped me to weed out some of the dozens of black items I own (do I really need 10 black skirts?); and to take a little risk with adding color and accessories to diversify without crowding.I really enjoyed this book; and will definately recommend it to my private and corporate clients. Not too technical; enough detail to keep you involved; and how-tos that you really can achieve on a realistic budget.Highly recommended - Im officially a fan!
