There are many versions of the story we know as "Cinderella" and each version is almost the same. But who exactly was this character based upon? I was extremely curious so I decided to do a little bit of research. Ancient Greek and Egyptian mythology spoke of a woman only known as Rhodopis or "Rosy Cheeks". This young woman was kidnapped from her home and sold in Egypt as a slave where she was given this name. Since there was no factual record of her birth name, we will call her Cindy. There was one thing that remained consistent in all the stories that I read of her life...the similarities of her life compared to Cinderella's life was there but not quite what we know as Disney friendly. As a young girl, Cindy had to learn to be strong and also learned that life is no game. She was raised by an old man who took her in after pirates raided her village. Later in life was then, too, a victim to the pirates, but not before she was given a special pair of shoes. Once sold to her master as a slave, she found comfort in knowing there was a possibility her mother was not far from where she was sold. The biggest problems were the three other slaves living with her. They forced her to do there chores and more. They were jealous of the way their master treated her compared to them. Her only friends were the animals. After her escape, she loses a shoe when a large bird swoops down and takes it, later dropping it into the lap of the lands most fairest bachelor. Follow Cindy as she finds out what magical opportunities lie ahead in finding out who she is and what she will become. Find out just how the slippers play such a huge role in the story we all knew as "Cinderella". If you like dragons, magic and history then this is the book for you. There is a little bit of everything. Maybe even a little "Game of Throne"-ish.

Cindy Lost was an ordinary girl with an ordinary mother. That is, until she set the cat's tail on fire by waving a stick at him. After that everything became weird. Gnomes coming out of her mother's glass cabinet, being just one example, and large Black birds asking to be let into the house being another. Her introduction into a world of enchantment and all things magical was tempered by the knowledge that something evil was lurking there. Finding out that her mother was not as she seemed to be, and was suspected of being the infamous Black Witch, Cindy set out to unmask the real culprit, and prove her mother's innocence.

International supermodel Cindy Crawford chronicles her life and career, sharing stories and lessons learned, and featuring her most memorable images in this New York Times bestseller. ?Cindy Crawford was the cornerstone of the golden age of the supermodel in the 1990s. She blazed a trail during that decade, seamlessly moving between the runway to unconventional outlets, such as cutting-edge MTV, Super Bowl commercials, and even Playboy magazine. On the eve of her fiftieth birthday, Crawford looks back, photo shoot by photo shoot, on a remarkable career and various life lessons she absorbed. She discusses her earliest modeling years and learning how to become less self-conscious in front of a camera; trusting her own instincts about creating positive messages about a healthy and strong body image that she knew would reach women of all ages; her feelings about becoming a wife and a mother; and her thoughts about turning fifty and what she would tell her younger self if she had the chance. The photographs span her entire career, beginning from the mid 1980s, and feature unpublished images from Crawford’s personal archive in addition to images by every top name in fashion photography, including Annie Leibovitz, Arthur Elgort, Helmut Newton, Herb Ritts, Irving Penn, Patrick Demarchelier, and Richard Avedon, among others. A beautifully illustrated series of stories, Becoming is a smart and engaging book that sheds light into the life and work of an extraordinary woman.

Cindy Sherman's Untitled Film Stills, a series of 69 black-and-white photographs created between 1977 and 1980, is widely seen as one of the most original and influential achievements in recent art. Witty, provocative and searching, this lively catalogue of female roles inspired by the movies crystallizes widespread concerns in our culture, examining the ways we shape our personal identities and the role of the mass media in our lives. Sherman began making these pictures in 1977 when she was 23 years old. The first six were an experiment: fan-magazine glimpses into the life (or roles) of an imaginary blond actress, played by Sherman herself. The photographs look like movie stills--or perhaps publicity pix--purporting to catch the blond bombshell in unguarded moments at home. The protagonist is shown preening in the kitchen and lounging in the bedroom. Onto something big, Sherman tried other characters in other roles: the chic starlet at her seaside hideaway, the luscious librarian, the domesticated sex kitten, the hot-blooded woman of the people, the ice-cold sophisticate and a can-can line of other stereotypes. She eventually completed the series in 1980. She stopped, she has explained, when she ran out of clich s.Other artists had drawn upon popular culture but Sherman's strategy was new. For her the pop-culture image was not a subject (as it had been for Walker Evans) or raw material (as it had been for Andy Warhol) but a whole artistic vocabulary, ready-made. Her film stills look and function just like the real ones--those 8 x 10 glossies designed to lure us into a drama we find all the more compelling because we know it isn't real. In the Untitled Film Stills there are no Cleopatras, no ladies on trains, no women of a certain age. There are, of course, no men. The 69 solitary heroines map a particular constellation of fictional femininity that took hold in postwar America--the period of Sherman's youth and the starting point for our contemporary mythology. In finding a form for her own sensibility, Sherman touched a sensitive nerve in the culture at large. Although most of the characters are invented, we sense right away that we already know them. That twinge of instant recognition is what makes the series tick and it arises from Cindy Sherman's uncanny poise. There is no wink at the viewer, no open irony, no camp.In 1995, The Museum of Modern Art purchased the series from the artist, preserving the work in its entirety. This book marks the first time that the complete series will be published as a unified work, with Sherman herself arranging the pictures in sequence.
Published to accompany the first major survey of Cindy Sherman’s work in the United States in nearly 15 years, this publication presents a stunning range of work from the groundbreaking artist’s 35-year career. Showcasing approximately 180 photographs from the mid-1970s to the present, including new works made for the exhibition and never before published, the volume is a vivid exploration of Sherman’s sustained investigation into the construction of contemporary identity and the nature of representation. The book highlights major bodies of work including her seminal ‘Untitled Film Stills’ (1977–80); ‘Centerfolds’ (1981); ‘History Portraits’ (1989– 90); ‘Headshots’ (2000); and two recent series on the experience and representation of aging in the context of contemporary obsessions with youth and status. An introductory essay by curator Eva Respini provides an overview of Sherman’s career, weaving together art historical analysis and discussions of the artist’s working methods, and a contribution by art historian Johanna Burton offers a critical re-examination of Sherman’s work in light of her recent series. A conversation between Cindy Sherman and filmmaker John Waters provide an enlightening view into the creative process.
