Double Take Book

Transform yourself into your favorite celebrity!How would you like to look like Madonna, Barbra Streisand, Oprah Winfrey or Howard Stern?Well, maybe not Howard Stern....but if you long to have the grace and style of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, the breathy sexiness of Marilyn Monroe, the spunkiness of Whoopi Goldberg or the bad-boy charisma of Rod Stewart, let Devon Cass help you in his new book, Double Take, which shows you how to use makeup, wigs and fabulous accessories to transform yourself into a celebrity.Photographer and noted Cher impersonator Devon Cass teams up with CNN's Style with Elsa Klensch writer John Filimon to create a stunning book that not only celebrates the drama, spirit and artistry of celebrity impersonations but shows you exactly how you can turn yourself into your favorite star. With striking photos and step-by-step instructions, Double Take demonstrates how a little lip-liner here, a plucked eyebrow there, the right wig, to-die-for clothes and accessories, judicious padding and, most important, a killer attitude, can make anyone's dreams of stardom come true. You can also use these basic tips in your everyday regimen to have Cher's eyes, Diana Ross' luscious lips or Marlene Dietrich's distinctive cheekbones.Devon Cass works his magic on a wide variety of ordinary people, transforming them into dead ringers for such celebrities as Eddie Murphy, Mariah Carey, Grace Jones, Robert De Niro, Judy Garland, Bette Midler, Liza Minnelli and, yes, even Howard Stern. Gorgeously illustrated and engagingly written, Double-Take is a dazzling tribute to the world of fantasy and make-believe.Read More
