Everyone around Iris Kelly is in love. And she's happy for all of them, truly. Iris doesn't want any of that - dating, love, romance. Everyone wants to see her settled down, but she's perfectly happy with her commitment-free hook-ups. There's only one problem - Iris is a romance author facing an imminent deadline and she's completely out of ideas. Perfectly happy to ignore her problems as per usual, Iris goes to a bar in Portland and meets a sexy stranger - and a night of dancing and making out turns into the worst one-night stand Iris has had in her life. To get her mind off everything, Iris auditions for a local play only to come face-to-face with Stevie, her disastrous hook-up. When Stevie desperately asks Iris to play along as her girlfriend, Iris is shocked but goes along with it in a bid to get her creative juices flowing. As the two women play the part of a happy couple, they turn into a constant state of hot-and-bothered and soon it just comes down to who will make the real first move . . .

A landmark book documenting the first-ever art amusement park - launched in 1987 in Hamburg, Germany - in anticipation of its global reintroduction In the late 1980s, more than 30 of the era's most acclaimed artists - including Jean-Michel Basquiat, David Hockney, Roy Lichtenstein, Salvador Dalí, and Keith Haring - designed unique and fully operational fairground attractions specifically for the original park, including rides, interactive sculptures, games, performances, and music. Each artist's contribution is documented in photographs that show the artist at work, with details of the artworks, and showing the art in the context of the exhibition. Giving access to rare artworks that have not been widely viewed in 35 years, and accompanying the relaunch of Luna Luna in 2023, this book is being published for the first time in English with an updated preface.

"The book "Rihanna and the Clothes She Wears" satisfies the cravings of fans and fashion enthusiasts alike, boasting over 100 images of Rihanna and her favorite designers who have influenced her taste." - HOLA! Magazine "I grew up on a really small Island, and I didn't have a lot of access to fashion, but as far as I could remember, fashion has always been my defence mechanism. Even as a child I remember thinking, she can beat me, but she cannot beat my outfit." - Rihanna, accepting the CFDA Fashion Icon of the Year Award in 2014. From the author of the runaway bestseller Harry Styles and the Clothes He Wears comes a new, fresh look at style icon Rihanna. Rihanna has learnt how to define her own terms whatever she does - whether in the worlds of fashion, music, beauty, philanthropy, business, or activism, she is both muse and creative, a collaborator and pioneer. To date she has 135 million Instagram followers and counting. In 2022 at the age of 34, largely because of her Fenty Beauty empire, she became Forbes' youngest self-made billionaire. But it is her personal wardrobe and the way she wears it that embodies Rihanna's charisma, integrity, and humour most: everything she does reflects what she wears herself. She is a risk-taker, but as she said on the red-carpet in 2014 "you will never be stylish if you don't take risks." The gamble has paid off. Rihanna's mix-and-match method of wearing high fashion and streetwear, young designers and vintage, hip-hop classics, and avant-garde custom-made pieces, has meant that she has equal footing in both the music and fashion industries. Chairman and CEO of the LVMH group, Sidney Toledano says she is: "a style icon for today's generation". The breadth of Rihanna's fashion knowledge and style is astounding. In Rihanna and the Clothes She Wears , Terry Newman steps into the world of this fashion icon by examining her style. From couture catwalks to her own empire Fenty, political statements to high street casual, this chic book fizzles with facts about Rihanna's styling choices, presenting the star's most revered looks. With quotes from key designers, this is the perfect gift for any fan.

Groundbreaking designers Maria Giudice and Christopher Ireland armed with insights from some of today's top minds in business, tech, and social justice offer a pragmatic, people-centered approach to change"--
