Welcome back to the dollhouse, baby!

It was one of last year's biggest hits. Whether it was the smash-hit movie or the number-one bestseller from HarperCollins, in 2006 you couldn't get away from The Devil Wears Prada, even if you wanted to.
 
Now, for February 2007, it's back with the DVD release of the number one film starring Meryl Streep and Anne Hathway.  For all of you who haven't yet entered the wild-world of Miranda Priestly, now's the perfect time to read Lauren Weisberger's brilliant novel.

Sharp, witty and entertaining, The Devil Wears Prada is set in the world of high fashion. When Andrea sets foot in the plush Manhattan offices of Runway she knows nothing. She’s never even heard of the world’s most fashionable magazine, or its feared and fawned-over editor, Miranda Priestly. But she’s going to be Miranda’s assistant, a job millions of girls would die for.

A year later she knows too much; that it’s a sacking offence to wear anything lower than a three inch heel to work, that eight stone is fat and most of all that Miranda is a monster who makes Cruella de Vil look like a fluffy bunny. But also this is her big break, and it’s going to be worth it in the end. Isn’t it?  

For anyone who hasn't yet read one of the biggest hits of the 21st century, now's the perfect time to find out just why The Devil Wears Prada.

CANCER VIXEN by Marisa Acocella Marchetto  

What happens when a shoe-crazy, lipstick-obsessed, wine-swilling, pasta-slurping, fashion-fanatic, madly-in-love, single-forever, about-to-get-married big city girl cartoonist with a fabulous life finds…A LUMP IN HER BREAST?!!!  

Cartoonist and downtown Manhattan party girl, Marisa Acocella Marchetto answers this question and many more in this touching, often funny comic strip chronicle of her 11-month battle with breast cancer. 

Drawing (literally) on everything from her first mammogram to radiation treatments Marisa tells the story of her illness and how she refused to become a cancer ‘victim’. Instead she transformed herself into a cancer ‘vixen’ – confronting the disease head-on with unflinching observations, honesty and inspiring bravery. 

From attending her chemo sessions in her best designer shoes to marrying her long-time love, arguing with her mother (a.k.a ‘smother’), finding comfort and joy in her friends and striking up conversations with God, Marisa laughs in the face of her illness at every available opportunity. But she never trivialises it. Courageous, honest, funny and frightening, Cancer Vixen achieves the almost impossible – it takes a woman’s worst fear and transforms it into something uplifting, inspiring and life-affirming.
