The Lady Di look book : what Diana was trying to tell us through her clothes / by Moran, Eloise,author.;: Includes bibliographical references."Through a rich and beautiful series of images, British fashion journalist Eloise Moran decodes Princess Diana's outfits in this smart visual psychobiography of an icon. From the pink gingham pants and pastel-yellow overalls of a sacrificial lamb, to the sexy Versace revenge dresses, power suits, and bicycle shorts of a free woman, British fashion journalist Eloise Moran has studied thousands of pictures of Princess Diana. She soon discovered that behind each outfit lay a carefully crafted strategy: What Lady Di couldn't express verbally, she expressed through her clothes. Diana's most show-stopping-and poignant-outfits are all here in The Lady Di Look Book, incisively decoded. Moran sees things no one has before: Why, for example, did Diana have a rotating collection of message sweatshirts? Was she mad for plaid, or did the tartan have a deeper meaning? What about her love of costume jewelry on top of the tiaras and oval sapphire engagement ring? With new interviews from some of the people who dressed Diana, Moran's book is both a record of what Diana wore and why she wore it-and why we are still obsessed with Lady Di."--; Subjects: Biographies.; Photobooks.; Personal narratives.; Diana, Princess of Wales, 1961-1997; Fashion; Princesses;; Available copies: 1 / Total copies: 1; unAPI
Birdie & Harlow : life, loss, and loving my dog so much I didn't want kids (... until I did) / by Wolfe, Taylor,author.;: "The funny and poignant story of one woman's wonderfully codependent relationship with her dog--and what he taught her about chosen family and the reward of motherhood. Birdie & Harlow is the story of a baby and a dog. But motherhood is never quite that simple. In Taylor Wolfe's case, it's a long, zigzagging and winding road. Meant to be a last-minute anniversary gift for her then boyfriend (and now husband), the highly-energetic and loud-mouthed Vizla puppy named Harlow turns out to be the best snap decision twenty-year-old Taylor ever makes--and the beginning of the most epic friendship she ever has. As Wolfe's resistance to 9-5's and traditional adulthood grows, Harlow becomes the perfect companion for her eccentricities in a world that thrives on conformity. Wolfe's twenties--full of pitfalls and surprises, sad days and silver linings--led her to the realization that life is too short to spend your days in a crate (or a cubicle), that parks are meant to be enjoyed, and most importantly, she wants to be a mom. But really, isn't she one already? A charming and touching memoir, Birdie & Harlow is a tribute to the many expressions of modern motherhood, to both human and fur babies alike. Taylor's story reminds all of us that life will surprise you and that families should come in every shape and size."--; Subjects: Biographies.; Autobiographies.; Personal narratives.; Wolfe, Taylor.; Dog owners; Families.; Human-animal relationships.; Man-woman relationships.; Motherhood.;; Available copies: 1 / Total copies: 1; unAPI

Look Ma, no hands : a chronic pain memoir / by Drolet, Gabrielle,author.;: "A humorous, charming, profound debut memoir about chronic pain, accessibility, and young adulthood, by an acclaimed essayist and cartoonist. In 2020, Gabrielle Drolet developed a condition that made her unable to use her hands. It only worsened over time, and as a writer and artist, she had to learn new ways of creating and expressing herself. She placed her first cartoon in The New Yorker -- and then was unable to draw for a full year. She has since found ways around this using graphic design software, exercises, and many, many breaks, but the experience has completely changed her life. In Look Ma, No Hands, Gabrielle explores both the difficulty and the humour of developing chronic and life-altering pain in her twenties. Each chapter looks at a different aspect of her life touched by her disability -- how she learned to write when she couldn't type, to cook when she couldn't chop, to assemble IKEA furniture when she couldn't twist an Allen key. She breaks up with her girlfriend and has to figure out how to manage the most mundane tasks without anyone to help her. She moves cities and has to navigate different Byzantine health systems without the privilege or security of having a family doctor. And yet, through it all, she manages to maintain the most wonderful sense of the absurd. Rich with profound reflections on life's curve balls, Look Ma, No Hands is a joy to read, relatable, and the work of a rising new talent"--; Subjects: Biographies.; Autobiographies.; Personal narratives.; Drolet, Gabrielle.; Drolet, Gabrielle; Adjustment (Psychology); Artists with disabilities; Cartoonists; Chronic pain in women.; Chronic pain.; Journalists; Young adults with disabilities; Young women with disabilities;; Available copies: 1 / Total copies: 1; unAPI
Jennie's Boy A Newfoundland Childhood [electronic resource] : by Johnston, Wayne.aut; cloudLibrary;: NATIONAL BESTSELLER NAMED A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR BY THE CBC WINNER OF THE 2023 LEACOCK MEDAL FOR HUMOUR Consummate storyteller and bestselling novelist Wayne Johnston reaches back into his past to bring us a sad, tender and at times extremely funny memoir of his Newfoundland boyhood. For six months between 1966 and 1967, Wayne Johnston and his family lived in a wreck of a house across from his grandparents in Goulds, Newfoundland. At seven, Wayne was sickly and skinny, unable to keep food down, plagued with insomnia and a relentless cough that no doctor could diagnose, though they had already removed his tonsils, adenoids and appendix. To the neighbours, he was known as “Jennie’s boy,” a backhanded salute to his tiny, ferocious mother, who felt judged for Wayne’s condition at the same time as worried he might never grow up. Unable to go to school, Wayne spent his days with his witty, religious, deeply eccentric maternal grandmother, Lucy. During these six months of Wayne’s childhood, he and Lucy faced two life-or-death crises, and only one of them lived to tell the tale. Jennie’s Boy is Wayne’s tribute to a family and a community that were simultaneously fiercely protective of him and fed up with having to make allowances for him. His boyhood was full of pain, yes, but also tenderness and Newfoundland wit. By that wit, and through love—often expressed in the most unloving ways—Wayne survived.; Subjects: Electronic books.; Social Classes; Personal Memoirs; Literary;; © 2022., Knopf Canada,; unAPI
