Nip - Tuck. Unsettling Facts About the Impact of physical attractiveness in the Workplace
Dr. Gordon Patzer
I first learned about Gordon Patzer's new book, "Looks, Why They Matter More Than You Ever Imagined" reading Penelope Trunk's blog - a posting titled "Plastic Surgery is the Next Must Have Career Tool. Maybe." What Dr. Patzer has documented are facts we've all assumed - but didn't really want to believe. Well, guess what? All of those assumptions are true. Short? Overweight? Less than good looking? It's cost you. From day one.
Dr. Patzer has devoted the last 30 years to investigating this unsettling phenomenon for both women and men, and how it touches every part of our lives. His book reveals not only its impact on romance, but also on family dynamics, performance in school, career, courtroom proceedings, politics and government. Looks is the first book to explore how the power of beauty affects both sexes and how the rise of reality TV shows, cosmetic surgery, and celebrity culture have contributed to our overall obsession with being beautiful.

And here's a sample of a recent post titled: The hardest part of my job is that everyone lies about parenting "Take a look at the spread in People magazine of Jennifer Lopez and her one-month-old twins. The photos are so elegant that at first I thought it was a parody. But in fact, it is mommy porn: the visual fantasy of what being a working mom could be."
