Supermodel and super CEO of our time Tyra Banks and her mother Carolyn show readers why when you kick perfection to the curb and showcase your unique beauty ain't nobody gonna stop you!Â
Â
In Perfect Is Boring, Tyra Banks and her mother, Carolyn, get raw, real and cray-in-a-good-way as they share what theyâve learned on Tyraâs journey from insecure preteen to supermodel and entrepreneurial powerhouse. Though sheâll be the first to tell you she is not her daughterâs best friendââcause she ainât that kinda mama!âthereâs no doubt that Carolynâs signature mix of pep talks and tough love got Tyra to where she is today, and here they pay it forward to empower readers with a reminder that perfect really isnât all that.
Â
Whether theyâre writing about watching Tyraâs most imperfect moment go viral (Does âBe Quiet Tiffany!â ring any bells?), no-holds-barred sex talks or how theyâve overcome everything from fashion industry discrimination to media fat-shaming and a misguided attempt at a music career, they never lose their sense of humor or we-got-your-back-spirit. Full of smart, wise, and often hilarious lessons for mothers, daughters, fathers and sons everywhereâincluding âTake Responsibility for Yourself,â âLip Gloss + Pizza Sauce = Boss,â and âFix It or Flaunt ItââPerfect Is Boring is a must-read for anyone who needs a kick in the booty, a pat on the back, or a good reason to laugh-out-loud.
