A Night Out for Drinks

This book is similar to a night out drinking with the author: you get general pleasantries and basic family info and how-do-you-do's; but after several drinks, you get some of the secrets about Miss J that you wouldn't have known otherwise. But nothing earth-shattering. There are no nasty little insider scoops (that I was secretly hoping for). He might hint about nasty insider scoops, but Miss J is a lady and never goes so far as to reveal them. In all, it is an enjoyable book. The author's intelligence, savvy business sense, and unique personality are evident. But the book leaves you with the feeling that it only scratches the surface.

Hilarious and Fabulous all wrapped into one!

This man is fierce, funny, and smart. I learned a lot in this book. I love watching him on America's Next Top Model, but really knew nothing more about him. So, I was thrilled to be able to read this. If you looking for fun stories with some fashion advice then pick this up! Maybe you'll find you've become a little more fierce!

truly enjoyed

To me, this bok was great. Miss j made me laugh a lot and made me see things in various different ways! i would recommend this book for people under 30.

Hilariously funny and witty!

When I started reading the first chapter I was laughing so hard it bought tears to my eyes. This book is funny. I love the little helpful hints at the bottom of the page. One of the hints that Alex gave me over 20 years ago that I live by today is, "Never go out the house unless you have on sunglasses and lipstick." A look that is always chic, even when don't have time to put on makeup. I'm sure people will have assumptions about Alex, but if you read the book you will see that he is a wonderful person and friend. Review all the acknowledgements in the back of the book. This book is too short (memo to editors). I read it in a few hours. I would call my friends and read passages out of the book to them and we would all laugh together.Follow the Model: Miss J's Guide to Unleashing Presence, Poise, and Power
