Discovered in the stands of a football game, she was immediately rocket launched into fame, becoming Playboys favorite cover girl and an emblem of Hollywood glamour and sexuality. But what happens when you lose grip on your own lifeand the image the notoriety machine creates for you is not who you really are?Growing up on Vancouver Island, the daughter of young, wild, and unprepared parents, Pamela Andersons childhood was not easy, but it allowed her to create her own worldsurrounded by nature and imaginary friends. When she overcame her deep shyness and grew into herself, she fell into a life on the cover of magazines, the beaches of Malibu, the sets of movies and talk shows, the arms of rockstars, the coveted scene at the Playboy Mansion. And as her star rose, she found herself tabloid fodder, at the height of an era when paparazzi tactics were bent on capturing a celebritys most intimate, and sometimes weakest moments.

PAMELA ANDERSON's blond bombshell image was ubiquitous in the 1990s. Discovered in the stands during a Canadian football game, she was quickly launched into superstardom, becoming Playboy's favourite cover girl and an emblem of Hollywood glamour and sex appeal. Yet the Pamela Anderson we think we know was created through happenstance rather than careful cultivation. Love, Pamela brings forth her true story, that of a small town girl getting tangled up in her own dreams.Growing up on Vancouver Island, the daughter of young, wild, and unwittingly stylish parents, Pamela lived a hardscrabble childhood but developed a deep love for nature, populating her world with misfits, apparitional friends, and injured animals. Eventually overcoming her natural shyness, Pamela let her restless imagination propel her into a life few can dream of, in Hollywood and the Playboy Mansion. As her star rose, she found herself becoming a fixture of tabloid fodder, at the height of an era when paparazzi tactics were bent on destroying a person's image and self-esteem.Pamela forged ahead with grace, finding sanctuary in her love of art and literature, and emerged a devoted mother and activist. Now, having returned to the island of her childhood, after a memorable run starring as Roxie in Chicago on Broadway, Pamela is telling her story, a story of an irrepressible free spirit coming home and discovering herself anew at every turn. With vivid prose interspersed with bursts of original poetry, Love, Pamela is a pensive, layered, and unforgettable memoir.

La carismática Miss Raisa presenta un contundente manifiesto en contra de cualquier tipo de discriminación.Esta historia arranca en 2004, cuando Miss Raisa, nacida en Marruecos, emigró con sus padres y sus hermanos a Barcelona. Era solo una niña de ocho años que dejaba atras su pais y su gente, pero para el mundo se habia convertido en inmigrante, y ya nunca dejaria de serlo. Sin hablar español ni catalan, pronto tuvo que enfrentarse a una sociedad que no aceptaba su procedencia. Esa no fue la unica discriminacion que sufrio: a medida que fue creciendo, se sumo la de llevar velo, por no adaptarse a las costumbres españolas; la de parte de la comunidad musulmana, por adaptarse demasiado a ellas; la de ser mujer en un mundo de hombres, el rap. En este libro, la reivindicativa artista echa la vista atras y nos cuenta como esa niña se ha hecho adulta y ha desafiado y superado todos y cada uno de los prejuicios que se le han presentado en el camino. Hoy, Miss Raisa es una mujer libre, orgullosa, empoderada y, sobre todo, comprometida con hacer de este mundo un lugar mejor.Esta es su vida, este es su manifiesto.

Perry writes gratefully and glowingly...fans will find poignant nuggets in its pages." -The New York Times"A heartbreakingly beautiful memoir." -People"Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing is a raw, unflinching memoir that took courage to write.
