Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -ACTRESS. ICON. ACTIVIST. Her story, in her voice, for the first time. In this honest, layered and unforgettable book that alternates between storytelling and her own poetry, Pamela Anderson breaks the mould of the celebrity memoir while taking back the tale that has been crafted about her.Her blond bombshell image was ubiquitous in the 1990s. Discovered in the stands of a football game, she was immediately rocket launched into fame, becoming Playboy's favourite cover girl and an emblem of Hollywood glamour and sexuality. But what happens when you lose grip on your own life - and the image the notoriety machine creates for you is not who you really are Growing up on Vancouver Island, the daughter of young, wild, and unprepared parents, Pamela Anderson's childhood was not easy, but it allowed her to create her own world-surrounded by nature and imaginary friends. When she overcame her deep shyness and grew into herself, she fell into a life on the cover of magazines, the beaches of Malibu, the sets of movies and talk shows, the arms of rockstars, the coveted scene at the Playboy Mansion. And as her star rose, she found herself tabloid fodder, at the height of an era when paparazzi tactics were bent on capturing a celebrity's most intimate, and sometimes weakest moments. This is when Pamela Anderson lost control of her own narrative, hurt by the media and fearful of the public's perception of who she was . . . and who she wasn't.Fighting back with a sense of grace, fuelled by a love of art and literature, and driven by a devotion to her children and the causes she cares about most, Pamela Anderson has now gone back to the island where she grew up, after a memorable run starring as Roxie in Chicago on Broadway, reclaiming her free spirit but also standing firm as a strong, creative, confident woman.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -THIS BOOK IS FOR ANYONE WHO IS TIRED, HURTING AND FEELING LIKE THEIR ESSENTIAL BRIGHTNESS HAS GONE. IT'S FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE READY TO GLOW IN THE F\*CKING DARK. The author of the runaway hit Buy Yourself the F\*cking Lilies shares honest and practical lessons for healing your past and owning your future so you can radiate strength, bravery and joy when life gets dark.Tara Schuster thought she was on stable ground. For years, she'd worked like hell to repair the emotional wounds inflicted during what she refers to as her 'mess-wreck disaster' of a childhood. She'd brought radical healing rituals and self-love into her life. On most days, she was a happy, stable adult. But then she lost her job, the one on which she had staked her entire identity. Cue a panic-attack-doom-spiral that brought her harshest childhood traumas to the surface. Isolated at home during a global pandemic, she felt piercing loneliness and a lack of purpose like she had never known. Finally, after experiencing a terrifying dissociative episode while driving down the highway, she realized that enough was enough; she needed to slow down and pull over-literally. It was time for Tara to stop the hustling and to reclaim her essential, free and loving self.Glow in the F\*cking Dark is full of practical, achievable baby steps that we can take today. It's a guide to healing your deepest soul wounds, getting off your 'good enough' plateau, developing habits that will give you lasting courage, discovering your purpose and creating the spectacular life that you actually want. Tara clawed her way out of the darkness and recovered her shine, and in this book, she shows how to: \* recognize trauma reactions and choose new ways to respond \* find what's really under your anxiety \* repair your relationship with your body \* find solace and purpose in something bigger than yourself.…
