' My fingers close around the trigger. I pause for a split second to think about the bullets I am about to spray across the ground. After today I'll no longer be the new girl.' Captain Charlotte Madison is blonde beautiful & flies Apache helicopters for a living. She has completed two tours of duty in Afghanistan & is currently fighting on the frontline in her third. DRESSED TO KILL shows us what life is like for a girl in a resolutely male-dominated environment. But she isn't just a woman in a man's world she's a woman women aspire to be
- glamorous as well as brave & beating the men at their own game. Only a tiny percentage of people can multi-task to the extreme level the aircraft demands & most airmen who try to qualify as an Apache pilot fail. Full of the exciting adrenaline-filled action that has made other military memoirs so successful DRESSED TO KILL is also unique. A highly intelligent & brilliant young woman Charlotte is Britain's first female Apache pilot & the first British female pilot to kill in an Apache. We have quite simply never seen the landscape of 21st-century frontline conflict from a perspective like hers. DRESSED TO KILL will appeal to anyone interested in current affairs but it will also speak to a whole generation of young women who will relate to 27-year-old Charlotte in a way they never imagined possible.

Dressing the Man is the definitive guide to what men need to know in order to dress well & look stylish without becoming fashion victims. Alan Flussers name is synonymous with taste & style. With his new book he combines his encyclopedic knowledge of mens clothes with his signature wit & elegance to address the fundamental paradox of modern mens fashion: Why after men today have spent more money on clothes than in any other period of history are there fewer well-dressed men than at any time ever before? According to Flusser dressing well is not all that difficult the real challenge lies in being able to acquire the right personalized instruction. Dressing well pivots on two pillars -- proportion & color. Flusser believes that Permanent Fashionability " both his promise & goal for the reader starts by being accountable to a personal set of physical trademarks & not to any kind of random seasonally served-up collection of fashion flashes. Unlike fashion which is obliged to change each season the faces shape the necks height the shoulders width the arms length the torsos structure & the foots size remain fairly constant over time. Once a man learns how to adapt the fundamentals of permanent fashion to his physique & complexion hes halfway home. Taking the reader through each major clothing classification step-by-step this user-friendly guide helps you apply your own specifics to a series of dressing options from business casual & formalwear to pattern-on-pattern coordination or how to choose the most flattering clothing silhouette for your body type & shirt collar for your face. A mans physical traits represent his individual road map & the quickest route toward forging an enduring style of dress is through exposure to the legendary practitioners of this rare masculine art. Flusser has assembled the largest andmost diverse collection of stylishly mantled men ever found in one book. Many never-before-seen vintage photographs from the era of Cary Grant Tyrone Power & Fred Astaire are employed to help illustrate the range & diversity of authentic mens fashion. Dressing the Mans sheer magnitude of options will enable the reader to expand both the grammar & verbiage of his permanent-fashion vocabulary. For those men hoping to find sartorial fulfillment somewhere down the road tethering their journey to the mind-set of permanent fashion will deliver them earlier rather than later in life." ...
