Heather McCormack Recommends That Extra Half an Inch
Heather McCormack -- Library Journal, 12/15/2008 11:36:00 AM
Recommendation: That Extra Half an Inch: Hair, Heels and Everything in Between by Victoria Beckham for its high-spirited celebration of the transformative power of appearance. Beckham comes off like a mindless Robo-Barbie in the 'loids, but she reads like a sensible, compassionate girlfriend who happens to be married to one of the richest footballers in the world. Curious how to wear an A-line skirt? Or how to pack for vacation? Becks No. 2 explains it all, covering even affordable brands like Zara. And the images by veteran fashion photographer Ellen Von Unwerth are a scream—see Victoria vamping in little black dresses and heels, heels, heels. Stare to your heart's content; this is superlative eye candy manufactured for women, by women.
Ideal recipient: Fashionistas, celebrity sickos, and any woman looking for a little commonsense clothing and grooming advice from someone who, despite some unfortunate fashion choices, knows a thing 
or two about image enhancement. Oh, and girl-women. You know the type, 13 going on 30.
