\u2018I have always known that to be hot is to be powerful. For most of my life, I just took it as the way things are, a fact not worth interrogating since it\u2019s so obviously true.\u2019<\/i><\/p>\n
Up until her twenty-fifth birthday, the number one priority in Lucinda Price\u2019s life was to look good. She nipped, tucked, cut, plucked, shaved, tanned, crunched, squatted and starved. Then, she broke down.<\/p>\n
All I Ever Wanted Was to Be Hot<\/i>\u00a0is a funny, provocative retrospective on the last thirty years of Western beauty standards. From the Pussycat Dolls to Victoria\u2019s Secret, The Girls of the Playboy Mansion to Lara Bingle, the media of the 2000s was littered with high profile examples of hotness as the highest form of social currency. Is it any wonder a girl growing up in that era might believe \u201cgood looks\u201d were as integral to womanhood as having a pulse?<\/p>\n
With her offbeat humour and incisive cultural commentary, Lucinda tells the unfiltered story of a young woman overcoming an eating disorder, illuminating our enduring obsession with appearance by holding a mirror up to herself, and in turn, all of us.<\/p>\n
A hilarious, insightful deep dive into self image, desirability, pop-culture and power. A sparkling debut by one of Australia\u2019s most beloved creators and comedians, Lucinda Price aka Froomes.<\/p>\n
