Book Description
An element of drama has always attended Rupert Everett, even before he first rose to fame with his outstanding performance in Another Country. He has spent his life surrounded by extraordinary people, and has witnessed extraordinary events. He was in Moscow during the fall of communism; in Berlin the night the wall came down; and at home in downtown Manhattan on September 11th. By the age of seventeen he was friends with Andy Warhol and Bianca Jagger, and since then he has been up close and personal with some of the most famous women in the world: Julia Roberts, Madonna, Sharon Stone, and Donatella Versace. Whether sweeping the stage for the Royal Shakespeare Company or costarring with Faye Dunaway and an orangutan in Dunstan Checks In (they both took ages to get ready), Rupert Everett always brings as much energy and talent to his life as he does to his career. Who else has lived in Paris with Beatrice Dalle, modelled for Versace and Valentino, been possessed by the spirit of Anthony Perkins, and played bridge with Christopher Isherwood? A superb raconteur and a keen observer of human folly (especially his own), Rupert Everett turns his life into a captivating story of love, nostalgia, fame, glamour, gossip, and drama. From the eccentricities of the British upper classes to the madness of Hollywood, from the Russian steppes to an Easter egg hunt in Elizabeth Taylor's garden, Everett reveals himself as a consummate storyteller and a charming guide to life lived in the fast lane.

Good But Not As Exciting As I Thought.......2007-09-22
This book was pitched to me as a scathing tell-all. Actually it reads more like snippets here and there from Everett's life. Certainly he has a way of telling a story and there are a few humorous moments as well. If you've read his novels you should know that his style doesn't change when talking about his own life. It is an interesting read if not completely entertaining.
What a life, so far!.......2007-08-23
Rupert Everett came to me via his movies. Since the first movie I saw him in, he's charmed me completely. He's divine, totally appealing, and adorable beyond belief. Then I read this book. Well, I was taken by surprise to discover how well he writes, given his lack of interest in formal education and shenanigans he's pulled at the expense of education. Yet he also has had the good sense to not only experience what life has to offer, and then some, and then some more, but he seems to have learned something from every experience he's had thusfar, which impressed me. I found his book shocking, funny, sad, unbelievable, fascinating, beautifully worded, and it was a real treat to read. I am even more fascinated by him now than before. To say he is a complex individual would be a gross understatement. His depth and shallowness and understanding and broad-mindedness and ability to experience and digest life is incredible. There may not be enough adjectives to describe Rupert Everett and how he lives his incredible life. This book is a wild ride of fantastic characters and unbelievable situations that requires an open mind and good sense of humor. I loved it and plan to read more from the well-written Rupert!
Is that all there is?.......2007-08-18
To judge from this book, between his occasional acting jobs, Rupert Everett met a lot of famous people, got very drunk, and indulged in anything (or anyone) offered to him. There are enough names dropped to fill several memoirs, and so many of them became "close friends" that I ended up wondering if Everett, like Louis XIV, never spent a single moment alone. He "adores" everyone and they presumably adore him; he finally sums it up himself when he says that in his circle, most friends don't last more than 5 minutes. He seems to have been constantly in motion as he collected all these best friends in far-flung corners of the world, and it's easy to lose track of the who/what/why/when of the book.
Everett is an experienced writer (though his novels barely get a passing mention)and he writes well. His descriptions of people and places are precise, witty and evocative. But the anecdotes are too practiced and embellished, well polished for talk shows and dinner parties, and I didn't believe half the book really happened in such well-formed anecdotes. He is at his best describing the backstage warfare of the theater and the hothouse atmosphere of a film set, but his frequent refrain of "back then" or "in those days" made me think the novelist was at work, painting a world of generations ago, not a decade or two.
The ultimate test of an autobiograpy is the picture that emerges of the author. Everett comes across as glib, self-indulgent, and at times unprofessional. We learn nothing of his inner life. As a member of the "just do it" school, he has nothing to say about the craft of acting, a job he aspired to from childhood, and with a couple of exceptions we don't even learn the names of the people he was intimately attached to, which is to say sleeping with for protracted periods of time. He doesn't dwell much on the loss of friends to AIDS and is at times a little flippant in discussing it. He seems more upset over the demise of the South Beach party scene, and the only time he expresses true human emotion is when his dog dies.
I have nothing against Rupert Everett; in fact, I like him on screen and I respect him for being openly gay even when it hurt his career. But his book simply shows how far good looks, celebrity, and knowing the right people can carry someone in our gossip-crazy world. I thought he was better than this.
Great reading for other reasons than the celeb-gossip.......2007-07-28
I've never had any particular opinion of Rupert Everett. Ok - I admit I bought this book partly because I wanted a behind-the-scenes glimpse of the Hollywood lifestyle. But Red Carpets and Other Banana Skins actually has got so much more. To my opinon (with English being my second language) it's very well written with a very developed use of words and language. Sometimes to the extent that I first suspect there has been a ghost writer involved. But as the reading goes on I find that's probably not the case and the suspicion might have more to do with me underestimating the author. Everett brilliantly manages to describe his own life against a background of larger historic events which gives the book an extra dimension that elevates the reading experience considerably. Sometimes it can be hard to believe that he recollects events from ages ago in such detail and hence one suspects there are a few exaggerations here and there. But on the other hand that's common in all storytelling and is sometimes necessary to make the reading more capturing. A few times during the reading I thought he got a bit over-long in his descriptions. But that does not diminish an overall great reading experience. In the end I think the book actually gives a pretty truthful image of the person Rupert Everett and his very interesting life so far.
Will The Real Rupert Everett Please Stand Up............2007-07-07
Fasinating..... Mr. Everett is an author of the top drawer. His story may be true/or not, however it is very interesting and intertaining. A good summer read. I hope he writes more books that are as enjoyable.

So, i am very anxious to hear back ......Thanks for all the help,,,, and please forgive the rating i gave but it wouldn't let me submit my request without a review ,,,,
Additional Foreign Language Curricula.......2004-08-07
This is an excellent book used by our local community college. They likewise have students having primary languages other than English. Readers may want to explore the web site of its publisher at www(dot)delmarlearning(dot)com for additional support publications.
Written in Japanese.......2003-11-21
A friend of mine is a nail technician and running her own business. She was telling me today that she had been trying to find some samples of the book in japanese but it seems impossible. Could you please let me know if they come written in Japanese by any chance. She is one of my best friends and I would like to surprise her with the news that she can find the Art & Science of Nail Technology written in Japanese.
Thanks

the best nail book out there.......2000-10-02
this book can teach you like you are the only one it is wrote to it is like he knew how to write it so you would understand it I would definately recommend it to anyone that does nails or takes nail technology classes it is so easy to understand
Everything you need to know.......2000-05-10
This book contains everything that you will need to become an ace nail tech. I highly recomend that you also purchase the companion workbook.
Book Description
We expose it, cover it, paint it, tattoo it, scar it, and pierce it. Our intimate connection with the world, skin protects us while advertising our health, our identity, and our individuality. This dazzling synthetic overview, written with a poetic touch and taking many intriguing side excursions, is a complete guidebook to the pliable covering that makes us who we are. Skin: A Natural History celebrates the evolution of three unique attributes of human skin: its naked sweatiness, its distinctive sepia rainbow of colors, and its remarkable range of decorations. Jablonski begins with a look at skin's structure and functions and then tours its three-hundred-million-year evolution, delving into such topics as the importance of touch and how the skin reflects and affects emotions. She examines the modern human obsession with age-related changes in skin, especially wrinkles. She then turns to skin as a canvas for self-expression, exploring our use of cosmetics, body paint, tattooing, and scarification. Skin: A Natural History places the rich cultural canvas of skin within its broader biological context for the first time, and the result is a tremendously engaging look at ourselves.
Customer Reviews:
An excellent overview.......2007-05-12
Drawing from many fields, this work is an excellent overview of its subject. I would recommend it both for the casual reader and as a good supplemental text for an upper division class in anthropology or biology.
Nina Jablonski does a great job of presenting complex material in a very readable format.
Almost a complete waste of time - very disappointing.......2007-02-28
I bought this book expecting a thorough overview of the subject for the educated lay person, but I was terribly disappointed. It started off well, giving a pretty good overview of the basic structure of the skin (although I noted a few small errors). Then the meat of the book is covered in a little depth, but the meat of this book consists solely in the author's own specialty, which is the role of melanin.
The rest of the book is a hurried, slapdash job, merely mentioning all the many topics that ought to be covered but aren't. She makes it painfully obvious that she has no interest in going into depth on anything but her beloved melanin/vitamin D topic, and the number of errors I noticed in the second half of the text increased over the first half.
Of course, the book itself is only about half there, with much of it taken up by references, all crammed in the back to make it look like a bigger book, instead of what it is -- basically a monograph on melanin.
I showed the book to my dermatologist, and his response was "pure fluff," which basically summed up my impression. Don't waste your time on this one.
More than you ever thought you'd want to know, but very interesting........2007-02-25
Skin is one of the more remarkable of our organs, and in may ways. It's certainly the most visible of our organs, and it's very appearance tells us an awful lot about the person we are observing. It's the thing that we see when we see beauty. Its color can insight fear. Its wrinkles indicate age, exposure to harsh sunlight and strong winds.
Beyond that, it's skin that keeps us cool. It's skin that keeps body fluids from escaping and rainwater from coming in. Skin protects our insides from diseases, toxins, and all kinds of other nasty stuff. It even helps control our intake of Vitamin D from sunlight by making people who live in areas with little sun lighter than those who live in the tropics (thereby creating all kinds of other problems).
This book is a welcome addition to the poular science culture by providing both an interesting read and many very interesting little excursions down paths that attracted the authors attention from time to time.
A great overview.......2007-01-19
This is a great book which tells the lay person everything they may want to know about skin, without the technical jargon of the medical text book. It covers everything from the structure and uses of skin, to how and why skin and skin colors evolved, and on into ways people have ornamented their skin. Very informative, and an enjoyable read.
Looking Deeper.......2006-12-20
"It isn't good to take for granted something as important as skin," writes Nina G. Jablonski in _Skin: A Natural History_ (University of California Press). Whatever risk you have of taking skin for granted, Jablonski isn't likely to do so. She is a professor of anthropology, and her research has been done on different aspects of skin, especially skin color. She describes her new book as "not a systematic treatise or a manual, but more an idiosyncratic guidebook, replete with personal detours into topics about skin that have most engaged me in my work over the years." Engaged is a good word; she clearly loves her subject, and succeeds in communicating her enthusiasm. Skin itself is of undoubted importance. It is the largest of our organs (just because it is your outer covering and not an inner mound of tissue like your liver doesn't keep it from being a unified organ). It is, unlike the skin of most animals, basically naked, with not very much hair and no scales or feathers. Like any of our other organs, it is a product of evolution that has its current properties because it has done a good job: "Our fabric doesn't wear out, our seams don't burst, we don't spontaneously sprout leaks, and we don't expand like water balloons when we sit in the bathtub." Jablonski is right that we take skin too much for granted, and her book is a happy corrective.
In a phrase that has been made famous by pop anthropology, we are "naked apes," but the reason for our hairlessness (at least compared to our primate cousins) has been disputed. Jablonski discusses the best explanation for our not having hair is that we sweat, sweating, of course, being an important function of our skin. As we developed sweating as our cooling system, we lost fur, because sweating into fur is inefficient; the cooling of a body covered with wet fur would occur at the outermost layer of fur but not at the skin so that the body itself could get cool. Jablonski has splendid chapters on skin color, the superficial characteristic on which so much history and sadness has been based. Melanin has become the governor that mediates between the opposing goals of protection from ultraviolet radiation versus synthesis of vitamin D. Humans have by now turned the "natural" and geographic order of skin color into a relative chaos because of the speedy travel that we have been able to accomplish only in the last few centuries, but the play of skin colors originally evolved on strictly geographic lines because skin molecules were being juggled as key mediators of our ability to be out in the sun. Skin colors represent evolution at work in dermatological molecules, and do not have deeper significance. With our tendency to judge and group based on superficialities, skin colors carry a lot more meaning, but not in any biological sense.
Jablonski winds up her tour with thoughts about the future of skin. Oh, sure, we will always have skin, but perhaps robots will, too; our skin helps us in measuring tasks as delicate as lending an arm for support to another or turning a doorknob, and artificial skin for robots may do such things, and perhaps even help robots start making the me / not me distinction that is essential for consciousness. If that sounds too far fetched, then consider tattoos of the future that will be essentially permanent until the wearer wants to be rid of them, and does so by shining a light of a single wavelength upon them, breaking down the dye. And if that sounds too frivolous, consider the possibility that burn patients might have a spray put on their wounds consisting of cultures of their own cells, all the many types of cells found in the skin; such a preparation would enable new and natural skin rapidly to regenerate. The speculation is fun, but Jablonski's history of the evolution of skin and the many functions it accomplishes for us brings a complicated topic into deep and appealing focus.

Amazing phtotgraphs of Japanese tattoo work.......2007-06-17
This book is a great reference for tattoo artists (and other artists) or anyone that enjoys the art of Japanese tattooing. It displays full page photographs (including close ups) so you can see the detail and subject matter quite well.
good coffee table book.......2007-05-15
great photography but more of a book for ppl who are interested in tattoos from an artistic perspective. i purchased the book b/c i wanted to use it as a model for my own tattoo art -- for which it was not really that useful. still, i enjoyed looking at the pictures for inspiration.
Awesome photography.......2007-01-30
Incredible detail... great selection of images... good price for the amount of info
good book.......2007-01-30
Good entry into the japanese tattoo world. Great photos and explaination of history.
The Japanese Tattoo.......2005-10-01
This is a visually stimulating book - for both the casual observer, who will probably be horrified at some of the work, and for the Tattoo Collector - who will be inspired to new heights by the glorious array of Classical Japanese Artworks presented herein. Printed on heavy stock with beautiful color separation, this is truly an important reference of the Japanese repertoire.
Book Description
The external facades of a building are more than a protective mantle, or an intelligent skin regulating temperature and light, they also determine its very appearance. By unusual choices of materials and the use of complex technology, facades have become increasingly significant in recent years. External surfaces are being perceived as an integral part of the building and are therefore being designed as such. This volume focuses on the wide-ranging aspects of facade design, from the selection and use of materials to the advanced technical possibilities now open to the architect. A wide array of carefully selected international examples show the theory in the practice. All plans, details, and large scale sections of the facades have been researched with the high degree of competence typical of the editorial staff from the review Detail. Expert authors provide the essential information needed to plan and design facades and elucidate on the latest developments in technology and materials.
Customer Reviews:
In Detail Series sets a new standard for contemporary architecture.......2007-08-04
I cannot say enough about the quality of this entire series, and this book is among the best of the set. Few architecture books are of this high quality; one usually expects some level of editorial compromise; either we get lightweight analysis and documentation with beautiful photographs, or you get overly complex, teched out stuff that doesn't understand the fundamental concepts. Or it's just bad architecture. But this entire series, from the quality of the writing, the great beauty and clarity of the drawings, and finally to the aptness and excellence of the finished architecture; it represents the new state of the art. Buy the whole series, but start with this one and "Building Simply", which I'll rave about separately.
Amazing reference and read.......2007-07-27
A must have for all architects and those interested in how buildings come together and the importance the skin plays. As specially when trying new materials.
Spectacular buildings with unique sidings.......2007-03-11
There was a time when there was no question as to what the outside skin of a building was going to be, glass alternating with metal panels. Something monolithic looking like the UN building.
Now significant advances in materials, architectural design, creative use of conventional materials like shingles, concrete, or sprayed on foam are producing building where the skin becomes more than just what you see.
The book is organized into two main sections. The first third or so is used to describe the general changes that have been taking place in the general area of building skins.
The last two thirds show where various treatments have been used in actual buildings. The buildings vary from tiny, micro houses to athletic stadiums, stores to factories.
This is European publication. Most of the buildings are in Europe, with a few from Japan. They represent the most significant advances in design I have seen in a long time.
Great Book.......2007-02-22
Great examples of innovative building skins with good details.
Highly recommended for architects and architecture lovers.
very comprehensive usage of modern materials........2006-07-10
The book describes simple and neat building enclosure design in detail and palette. The book should be applicable to architects or designers who aspire to work in minimalism or modernism and who desire to improve the building enclosure design to be more insighfully creative and blight. Through the publication good samples are reviewed to support reader's imagination and to confirm the practicality of use.

Customer Reviews:
Skin is In!!!.......2007-05-29
From cover to cover this book is full of usefull knowledge. You can search by actress, movie, or tv show. I purchased this book for my brothers birthday. I even had to buy my own copy.
Decent book, but the website is incredible!.......2006-04-10
This book is decent enough, but not the Skincyclopedia it claims to be. As others have said, it is not kept up to date, and doesn't have complete listings including times. Mr. Skin's website, however, is the absolute ultimate! For simple reference, it's absolutely free and complete resource constantly updated. For a fee, it will give you film clips and still photos of all the scenes mentioned!
So, this is a very basic reference, but the website is the ultimate guide.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!.......2005-11-19
Not sure where to start and I don't want to write to see how i write. Mr. Skin must be getting commissions on the orders readers make per his recos. He and his group don't see "naked" with the same criteria. Some descriptions are understated, most are overstated.
Customer Reviews:
I like it, but.......2006-06-04
I like this book. It's not the greatest, but it's not bad. If you're starting out painting and need some basic guidance for general skin colors it's probably ok. Where it's lacking is in most anything beyond the basic color of skin. There's no discussion of skin color in shadow, in the halftones where the skin turns away from the light, or where the skin blends into the hairline. Little about the affect of light, surroundings, or location (cheek, chin, forehead, etc.) on skin color either. Those things make or break portraits and some (me) just can't seem to mix the right colors to go with the basic skin tone of the model. I wish that had been addressed in this book... that would make it worth 5 stars (and maybe what people are asking for it these days).
Always By My Side.......2005-10-09
This book is always on my workbench. As stated by another reviwer, the "Suggested Tonal Charts" section has been invaluable, and has inspired me to experiment with colors not on the list. By step-by-step examples, and by showing works of various artists, you really get a sense of color technique. I also recommend this book to model figure painters; after studying this book, the skin tones on my figures have started to look more natural instead of having that "exaggerated theatrical make-up" look!
Brilliant.......2004-03-11
This book is brilliant. Although it won't teach you how to paint, it will give you the greatest insight into how to mix colours for a near perfect image. Whether you are an amature or a professional, a book like this and at such a small cost is worth having on your shelf as an anytime reference.
Indispensable guide to a difficult subject.......2003-12-20
I admit it: I bought this book for myself for a Christmas present, and it was well worth the price paid. Here is information I have never gotten in art school. Though it is probably entirely possible to learn to paint the face and figure by being presented with a model in a crowded and badly lit room, there has to be a better way, and I think this book is it. Through a clever system of charts using a palette of only 12 basic colors, author James Horton shows you how to create an infinite array of skin tones for people of pale, mid-tone and dark coloring. Specific modifications for pastellists are included, and though I'm just a beginner, I was amazed what I could do following his directions when I was only about a fourth of the way through the book. I recommend this very highly for all students, whether you're enrolled in an art course somewhere or just slugging it out on your own at home. I intend to finish every exercise in the book before I go back to art school at the end of January. Highly recommended!!!
especially good for beginners.......2001-07-30
This book, with its charts of sample mixes and color tones in various media, is a great asset if you are just begining to paint portraits or people. It will give you a good basic understanding of color mixing for skin tones. ( no need to buy premixed colors! Be able to paint the nuance of people, not reduce everyone to the same "skin tones.") In addition, it discussed the effects of shadow and reflected color. Nice illustrations, photos and color charts.
Book Description

Customer Reviews:
Good resource.......2007-09-06
Very informative and easy to read book. Her advice matched my own tattoo experience exactly. I had a great tattoo experience but wish I had read her book before making my first tattoo appointment.
A great start.......2007-05-14
Honestly, for people like me, who have thought about a tattoo for years, not seriusly enough to do it, but not with so little importance that the idea is forgoten fast, this is a great start. If you have had many doubts about tattoos in general, this is a good start, and an interesting reading anyway.
An excellent first book about tattooing.......2007-04-06
I had just gotten my first tattoo when I noticed something strange inside of me shifting and wanted to understand. This book was so excellent as a first book in understanding the history, how ink gets into the demis layer of the skin, how to choose a tattoo image and artist, tattoo symbology basics (this author wrote a whole other book on it, but I like this condenced version), aftercare, and much more.
Although I have purchased other books that delve into one region or another of tattooing, I still refer back to this book all the time.
I would definitely reccomend this book to anyone considering a tattoo, or who has recently been tattooed for the first time. Even old-timers who wish to explain to others or those wishing to understand this cultural phenomenon will appreciate this book.
Most excellent! Thanks to amazon for a great deal on it also!
Some good tidbits.......2007-03-11
I got this after already having gotten some tattoos. It did have some good info. Would be good for someone without any tattoo experience.
Good Primer on the Tattooing Process.......2007-01-10
This book does an adequate job of explaining the overall process of pursuing a tattoo, from a vague concept to a piece of permanent art embedded in your dermis.
If you're looking for a lot of design examples, this is not the book for you.
However, there is a chapter in this book devoted to the "method" of picking a design; narrowing down your choices, where to look for examples, and other tips that are very useful for someone who is completely in the dark in regards to a 'final' concept.
This book also contains a lot of tattoo trivia and jargain which will appeal to those who are interested in tatoo history/terminology/etc.

Makeup Artists need this book.......2002-10-22
This is a great book for makeup artists, probably not great for the makeup junkie consumer. I learned more in this book then I have in all of the makeup classes I have taken over the years. It is a study book more then a read for fun book, every artist needs to read it.
Good reference material........2000-04-02
Pretty thorough coverage of modern makeup. It doesn't call out the new Hollywood looks in particular, the underlying technique is all there.
