About the Book
New York has Jacobs, Paris has Chanel, Milan has Versace and Tokyo has . . . Hello Kitty toilet plungers? With its cute-obsessed catalogue and magazine market, anyone who is anyone knows that modeling in Japan means being at the bottom of the fashion industry. Blake, Jess, and Hailey are doing their best to survive yet another casting where pigtails and toddler-impressions are a must when they stumble upon the opportunity of a lifetime. The prestigious Satsujin company has selected them to compete for a campaign that will transform the winner from commercial nobody to haute culture superstar faster than you can say Vogue Italia.
Of course, nothing is ever what it seems in the fashion world. Just ask all those dead girls . . .

The cover model’s makeup and of course title got my interest. The synopsis definitely made me want to read this! I’m completely sold seeing the author has experience in this field and in Japan, China and Taiwan.
The cover matches the synopsis well! This girl almost seems lifeless. The sysnopsis makes me want to know more about these models and the mystery it hints at.
