‘I was indoctrinated by the idea that if a woman is beautiful she is all-powerful . . .’ – Cassie Lane, Better Reading Podcast
In this podcast, Cassie Lane reveals her turbulent experience of living the high life as an international model. With candour, she confesses many of the darker aspects of the job: objectification, body-shaming, and the ease of being swept up in LA’s recreational party drug life.
Her memoir is called How to Dress a Dummy and it documents the many versions of herself that Cassie sped through before finally becoming disenchanted with the pressures of her industry. The result? An entertaining, incisive, and funny book that is completed by bold feminist ideals.
‘Hilarious and revealing, this darkly comic take on life in the fashion industry will leave you howling with both laughter and tears. A book about artifice that deftly manages to be so much more. Cassie Lane is a bold new voice.‘ – Clementine Ford.
