From jewelry and makeup to transdermal implanting and scarification, Gordon explores the cultural history of body beautification and its varied contemporary practices. The chatty teen-speak ("ancient people really liked their bling") and fascinating photos of celebrities and people from around the world will thoroughly engage teenagers itching to get that daring haircut or first tattoo (sorry, parents!). Reading list, websites. Bib., ind.
