From Hong Kong, to Italy, to Canada, to United States, Hidi Lee believes that no matter where she works, she faces the same kind of person: the one that is confused and insecure of her own body. Having been a lingerie designer for 24 years, Lee believes this lack of confidence is due to the false body perception that is often implemented by the mass media. Lee argues against what she calls the “old school sexy” which she sees as prevalence of a curvy body or dressing provocatively. In Sexy with no Boundaries: Discover the Art of being Sexy--Mentally, Physically and Professionally, she promotes what she labels “Sexy in the New Millennium”. Being sexy isn’t just about skin-deep beauty. It’s about aligning the physical beauty with inner qualities such as mind-set, happiness, self-love, sense of humor, and confidence to complete what is the true meaning of “sexy,” from the inside and out. Let her show you how. She believes that this “one day” is approaching us sooner than anybody thinks. Now is the time to speak for love, generosity, kindness, integrity, and peace. And her dream is contagious. “Have you ever stood in front of your mirror and completely fall in love with what you see?” Lee and her contributors join forces to inspire individuals to realize that sexy is size-blind, age-blind, beauty-blind, gender-blind, religious-blind. We are all sexy and beautiful in our own way. Her ultimate goal is to turn the once confused and insecure individual to receive massive success filled with confidence and sexiness.

Tony Webster thought he left his past behind as he built a life for himself, and his career has provided him with a secure retirement and an amicable relationship with his ex-wife and daughter, who now has a family of her own. But when he is presented with a mysterious legacy, he is forced to revise his estimation of his own nature and place in the world.

The Gift of an Ordinary Day is an intimate memoir of a family in transition, with boys becoming teenagers, careers ending and new ones opening up, and an attempt to find a deeper sense of place—and a slower pace—in a small New England town. This is a story of mid-life longings and discoveries, of lessons learned in the search for home and a new sense of purpose, and the bittersweet intensity of life with teenagers—holding on, letting go. Poised on the threshold between family life as she's always known it and her older son's departure for college, Kenison is surprised to find that the times she treasures most are the ordinary, unremarkable moments of everyday life, the very moments that she once took for granted, or rushed right through without noticing at all. The relationships, hopes, and dreams that Kenison illuminates will touch women's hearts, and her words will inspire mothers everywhere as they try to make peace with the inevitable changes in store.

Through an authoritative narrative and lavish photography, this is an in-depth history of the stars, films, achievements, and influence of the Hispanic and Latino community in Hollywood history from the silent era to the present day. Overcoming obstacles of prejudice, ignorance, and stereotyping, this group has given the world some of its most beloved stars and told some of its most indelible stories. Viva Hollywood examines the stars in front of the screen as well as the people behind-the-scenes who have created a rich legacy across more than 100 years. The role of Latin women on screen is explored through the professional lives of Dolores Del Rio, Rita Hayworth, Raquel Welch, Salma Hayek, Penélope Cruz, and many more. The book covers the films and careers of actors ranging from silent screen idol Antonio Moreno, to international Oscar-winning star Anthony Quinn, to Andy Garcia and Antonio Banderas. A spotlight is also given to craftspeople who elevated the medium with their artistry—visionaries like cinematographer John Alonzo, Citizen Kane scenic artist Mario Larrinaga, and Oscar-winning makeup artist Beatrice de Alba. The stories of these and many others begins through a lens of stereotyped on-screen personas of Latin Lovers, sexy spitfires, banditos, and gangsters. World War II saw an embrace of Latin culture as the “Good Neighbor Policy” made it both fashionable and patriotic to feature stories set south of the border. Social problem films of the 1950s and '60s brought fresh looks at the community, with performances like Katy Jurado in High Noon, the cast of West Side Story, and racial inequality depicted in George Stevens's Giant. Civil Rights, the Chicano Movement, and the work of activist actors such as Ricardo Montalban and Edward James Olmos influenced further change in Hollywood in subsequent decades and paved the way for modern times and stars the likes of Jennifer Lopez and Lin-Manuel Miranda. Illustrated by more than 200 full-color and black-and-white images, Viva Hollywood is both a sweeping history and a celebration of the legacy of some of the greatest art and artists ever captured on screen.
