Sociologist Ashley Mears takes us behind the brightly lit runways and glossy advertisements of the fashion industry in this insider's study of the world of modeling. Mears, who worked as a model in New York and London, draws on observations as well as extensive interviews with male and female models, agents, clients, photographers, stylists, and others, to explore the economics and politics - and the arbitrariness - behind the business of glamour. Exploring a largely hidden arena of cultural production, she shows how the right 'look' is discovered, developed, and packaged to become a prized commodity. She examines how models sell themselves, how agents promote them, and how clients decide to hire them. An original contribution to the sociology of work in the new cultural economy, "Pricing Beauty" offers rich, accessible analysis of the invisible ways in which gender, race, and class shape worth in the marketplace.

By contextualizing economic action in its social environment, previously taken-for-granted categories such as price become processes, and values become outcomes of messy negotiations and contested meanings. (查看原文)

作者1/4韩裔前模特兼教授，了解行业内幕满有趣的一本。翻了一下models.com，根据作者的分类，当下的edgy look就是短鼻子，翘嘴巴，扁平脸，总结下就是亚洲脸。什么神神秘秘的模特buzz，说白了就是看金主在哪里。

不错的labor studies，期待看到更深的理论对话。有关亲密自我和劳工自我的区分mark一下。

5、6章写得最好。整体很好读，因为写得非常纪实文学（？），有很多个人化的感受在里面。但整个书其实理论层面有点脱节，大部分内容非常齐美尔，第6章又比较酷儿，给人感觉是作者的理论驾驭能力有点把控不住自己的期许，不过好在她也没什么理论野心……
