{"product_id":"9780984394005","title":"GlamourHorror","description":"Peter Manik and Alane Deviare have collaborated to create a wonderful collection of photographs that combine 2 seemingly opposite concepts: glamour and horror. They started by synthesizing Alane's beauty, acting skills and modeling skills with Peter's artistic and photographic skills. Then they added a generous portion of each of their imaginations, and finally a dollop of each of their senses of humor. The result is their new book: GlamourHorror.\u003cp\u003eWhile combining glamour and horror is not a totally new concept (witness how many people have become practically obsessed with sexy movies and stories about vampires), Peter and Alane have attempted to give it a unique and fresh look.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThey feel that beauty and perfection is a universal desire - in great part because the media hypnotizes us with glamorous images, and keeps us hungry for an unreachable ideal. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThey wanted to challenge this perfection, by injecting gross horror into otherwise beautiful images, to question the concept of glamour. Our perception filters beauty - what is alluring to one person may repulse another. The standards of attractiveness vary across cultures and religions, it even mutates within ourselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePeter and Alane encourage you to take a look at these images and think about your own contrasting beliefs about idealistic beauty. Perhaps you too will find that beauty is, in fact, in the eye of the beholder.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Goofy Rooster Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47017616998640,"sku":"9780984394005","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780984394005_p0.jpg?v=1763895310","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780984394005","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
