READSJournalist
and former Allure
editor Sable Yong debuts with a sharp-toothed and
hilarious essay collection about beauty and

to use both for powerful tools for

removal, fillers, and 8220no-invasive8221facel
ifts, you8217resimultaneously absorbing mantras
about self-care, body positivity, empowerment,
and loving yourself just as you are.Overwhelmed
yet?Fear not. Die Hot with a Vengeance delves
into the machinations of this multi-billion-dolla
r industry, offering listeners an expert analysis
of its inner workings with the precision of a
scalpel and the humor of a stand-up comedian.
Along the way, Yong sets off to answer some of
the biggest questions of our timeHow do you
break through the noise of beauty and wellness
culture8217sendless optimization protocols?How
can you find actual authenticity in a world of
performative artifice?Can the antidote to aging
be found in a jar, tube, or at the end of a
syringe?Do blondes really have more fun?Using
Yong8217smany years of experience as a beauty
editor to unlock the industry8217smyriad
secrets, Die Hot with a Vengeance gives beauty
and vanity a neutralizing make-over. At its
best, beauty is so much more than an aesthetic
it8217san inspirational mindset. It8217sa
playfulness inherent to the practice of
self-expression.And yet it8217sdifficult to
engage playfully when it feels like beauty is an
ever-moving target. We8217reall subject to
societal expectations surrounding beauty and
vanity, enough so that breaking through the
capitalist pressures can feel impossible. Yong
argues that while the mandate may be for us to be
hot, the beauty industry thrives on us absorbing
its teachings so it can keep us in a constant
feedback loop of appearance-based anxiety,
forever perpetuating unattainable standards.
Flipping that imperative, Yong8217sdebut
collection poses the most important question of
all How do you discover your value of beauty so
you can free yourself from the loud and
bullshitty noise of all these entities telling
you that you8217renot good enough?Digging deep
into our most pervasive and questionable beauty
trends and conventions, Die Hot with a Vengeance
offers an incisive yet

wry dissection of one of our most enduring
cultural addictions. Irreverent,
side-splittingly funny, and astute, the book is
as amusing as it is insightful, an instant
classic for beauty- listeners and aspirant
hotties alike.
