Hello Gorgeous! Reading Guide

 

Since ancient times, women have fantasized about  the proverbial fountain of youth.  A recent report states the international cosmetics industry is worth about $150 billion dollars annually.  To put this in historical perspective, in 1949, the annual income hovered at considerably below $2,000.00 per capita.  In our own times, there are face creams and treatments that retail for $2,500.00 for a monthly supply.  Women are spending more money than ever before to keep looking young, supple and in a word, gorgeous. 

 
In "Hello Gorgeous! Beauty Products in America '40s-'60s,"(Collectors Press 6/06) beauty authority, marketing expert and author Rachel Weingarten explores not only the history of cosmetics in the mid last century- but also the ways that advertising, formulations, exhortations and attitudes about women's spending power have evolved.  
 
This stylish compact coffee table book includes a concise history of cosmetics, witty and frequently irreverent commentary on the evolution of beauty products, over 300 advertising images, 100 bits of beauty trivia, comments from advertising and beauty industry insiders and more...Hello Gorgeous! on MySpace (add Hello Gorgeous! to your blog- let's kick Dan Brown out of the #1 spot :)
