Say No To Ho


Simon Doonan is a man of many fabulous, stylish trades, a Creative Designer for Barney's New York, New York Observer columnist and finds time to be a best-selling author.
His latest celebration is "Eccentric Glamour: Creating an Insanely More Fabulous You" (Simon & Schuster) a how-to-look style guide by the man who knows everything
he's talking about. The book is comical, witty and very educational and also supplies one-on-one banter and interviews with some of the most glamorous, Lucy Liu and Iman to name a few.

"The goal is really to say no to 'ho, and yes to eccentric glamour. It's about saddling the porno trend. The slut trend is so ubiquitous and so huge, that people don't even see it anymore. Dressing like an eighties porn star is like the norm now for women who have
a makeover."
